Describe a challenging work issue you had to face, and how you dealt with it?

Answer:

Consider what would be the requirements of the ‘new’ job/organization and find something in your past that highlights a skill, experience or situation that might occur or be needed going forward. It is always a good idea to make lists in preparation for interviews. This will not only give you ’short stories’ to relate in an interview, it will also bolster your confidence and target your job search.

Tell us about a project or piece of research you have worked on while at university.

This is a question commonly asked at graduate recruitment interviews. The interviewers are not particularly concerned about which research/project you choose to give as an example, but are more interested in finding out the steps you took in completing the project/research. By examining ‘why’ and ‘how’ these steps were taken, the interviewers can get an idea of some of the skills you possess, and assess your ability to solve problems. Skills identified in your answer may include: preparation and planning, team work, time management, organizing and researching. Interviewers may also ask you to elaborate further on this issue by asking questions such as ‘what did you learn from this project’ and ‘why do you consider this project to be an achievement’
