Briefly describe your job?

How do you answer 'Briefly describe your ideal job' in a job interview?

• Answer:

  Be as brief as possible in your response. Be as truthful as you can about what tasks you are good at (your talents) and those which you believe the employer/company needs to have in a specific job, i.e., problem solving, or handling details, or dealing with difficult customers, or working behind the scenes vs. up front and with the public. Provide specific examples, include work site conditions (outside, vs. inside), amount of direction and supervision desired, and opportunities for advancement. Steer away from specifics such as exact salary, preferred politics, health benefits, etc. Demonstrate your level of interest in helping the company reach its goals, your type of creativity and integrity.
