Where do you see yourself in five years? The aim is to show that you’re an ambitious, yet realistic person. You will have to strike a balance between modesty and aspiration. You don’t have to be too specific. It’s okay to say you don’t know yet. You can only hint at your future plans and say you’re more than sure this job will help you get there.
What do you think we could do better or differently? Most companies don’t want to hire a passive employee who does as told. You should come up with your own ideas that would help improve the company. Think of a new product, fea-ture, ad, or a strategy the company could implement. You just need to give the impression you care about the job.
What are your salary requirements? Let them be the first to make an offer. Even if you’re a fresh graduate, you can usu-ally negotiate for a 10% increase from their first proposal. If you’re applying for a senior position, aim for a bit higher than your previous salary. Don’t be too shy. Employers expect you to negotiate and you’re likely to be at least partially successful.
