Questions asked during interview?
Most job interviews these days are based on competencies. This means the behaviours and skills the employer believes are necessary to do the job well. They will want you to show evidence of using these competencies either in your work or perhaps in leisure pursuits or college.
The start point is to work out what the competencies are for the job. This should be fairly obvious from the job advert and the person specification. So if for example they say they want someone able to work as part of a team - it should come as no surprise that they will be looking for examples of team work.
To answer the question you should use the CAR format.
C = context - What was the situation
A= Action - What did you do
R = Result - what happened as a result of the action that you took
Prepare your examples and rehearse them before the interview. In that way you can be more relaxed and confident.

- If you were laid off, you could put, "Laid Off."
- If you don't think it matters, then "No Career Oppourtunity" will suffice.

People can achieve their goals by first acquiring a vision. A vision in this sense is a clearly articulated picture of the future they intend intend to create for themselves. It's a dream! However, if that dream does not have appropriate direction, it will always remain a dream and will never become a reality. The vision must be based on passion, a love for what they want to do and the benefit it brings others as well as themselves. Without passion goals and objectives will not be achieved in the best form.
Next, they should look and analyze their goal in SMART fashion as follows:
- Specific - the goal must be specific and not general. For example, "My goal is to become a teacher," This is not specific. "My goal is to become a high school English teacher, in an urban community by 2011," is.
- Measurable - the goal must be measurable. How will you know your moving in the right direction? How will you know your making the appropriate progress etc.?
- Achievable - is the goal really achievable based on current circumstances.
- Realistic - is the goal realistic? In other words, my goal is to become Olympic decathlon athlete in the next Olympic games. Yet I am 63 years old. That's not realistic.
- Tangible - the goal must be something tangible. What will I specifically have at the end.
Thus, first is acquire the vision. Then develop a road-map embedded with short-term goals and objectives that will lead to your overall goals and objectives. Lastly, give it 100% commitment dedication and perserverence until the goal becomes a reality.
If people use the above, and do it with passion, they can achieve most anything they put their mind to.

What were general Douglas haig's strengths and weaknesses?
He was the guy who esentially started the battle of the somme, some say he is a butcher and some say he is a hero.
Some of his tactics were very controversial, and some say he was the start of the agument 'lions led by donkeys'
He was in charge of the british army from 1915 to 1918.
This is the start of my essay if it helps, it is just generally about general haig and the battle of the somme:
The Battle of the Somme was one of the biggest wars of World War One in 1916 the British forces attempted to break through the German front line in northern France .The Somme was set up by Sir Douglas Haig who was in charge of the British army from 1915 to 1918, he did this because the French fighting in the battle of Verdun were struggling and their numbers were very depleted. Haig new that fighting this fight would cause a great number of casualties and indeed deaths as shown in source one. He was right, there were 60,000 deaths and casualties on the first day alone. Though intended to be a breakthrough, the Battle of the Somme instead became a slaughter, some say General Haig's tactics still remain controversial today.
The British were going to attack on a 15 mile front between Serre, north of the Somme. The French armies would attack an 8 mile front south of the Somme. To make sure that the attack was fast enough the atillery forces bombarded German lines for a week before the attack, firing over 1 million shells. British commanders were so confident that the Germans would be savaged,they ordered their troops to walk towards the German lines. As the British walked towards the German lines, the machine guns started and the slaughter began. A few units did reach the German trenches,but they could not risk their upper hand and were driven back. By the end of the opening day, the British had suffered 60,000 casualties,and 20,000 of them where dead,this meant that 60% of the soldiers involved in the attack on the first day were killed! That making it the largest single loss of the British. When it became clear that the battle could be a serious faliure, Haig new that avancing would be more limited and concentrated on the southern area of the Battle. The British took their positions in the south on 14 July, but again could not follow through with their attack. Over the next two months of the battle the British where gaining little ground. Despite this loss and near faliure, on 15 September Haig kept on with his battle, and started using tanks. However, there was not many tanks, and the ones they did have were only lightly armed and were subject to many breakdowns. In source four it shows that General Haig made sure that the British attacked whenever possible because just defending themselves would not mean that that they could end up victorious. In mid November the Battle ended, but not without serious loss.
The battle was successful, and did what it aimed to do, it distracted the Germans from Verdun and lots of German soldiers were captured, as said in source 10. Even though, having advanced only 5 miles, the British suffered around 420,000 casualties, the French 195,000 and the Germans about 650,000.
What is your career goal in 5 years?
This is one of the types of question that you may get at an interview; they are intended to get you to talk about yourself in a fairly informal manner. The questions are usually about some aspect of your own life so it is not possible for anyone else to answer them for you.
You should think carefully, before attending the interview, about such questions as this so as to be prepared when asked. There are several such questions and there is a great deal of information on the internet and elsewhere about techniques to employ when attending interviews
