You can ref top 25 police interview questions and answers
(excerpt from list: 124 police interview questions and answers) as below:
1. Why do you decide to choose your career as a police
officer?
Nowadays, there are not many people doing
something bad for society because they have
their conscience guided. Focusing on such
things as conscience or loyalty will not help
you with this question as such things have
become rather vague in daily life and if
someone wishes to do something for the
society, practical actions would be better
than just words.
For example, to answer this question, you
may tell the interviewer that you want to
become a police because you always dream
of protecting the innocent from bad things
and those evil or bad things will never win
over good things because there are a lot of
people like you. If you were a police officer,
you would fight against them.

2. Do you have any police record?
Police officer is one of the most attractive
occupations for many young people.
Although someone who had a criminal
record in the past, they express their
interest in this position and decide to
take part in an interview. But in the fact
that, the questions related to their police
record are the integral ones in the
interview. As the result, they have no
chances to become a police officer.
Obviously, it is easy to answer these
questions if you do not have any police
record. In contrast, you will be put out of
the interview if you own a police record.
Why is that, it is because this situation is
not in conformity with the law.

3. Why do you want to be a police officer?
As a police officer I always want to
devote my career to minority
communities. I am willing to face
challenges and contribute my strength to
reject the badness out of our society. I
strongly believe that I will make effort in
my job as a good example to children in
our society and in any law-broken
situations caused by their parents
So they will learn good lessons from me
and other uniformed forces and they will
pay back their community. I want to
devote my strength into Police state.

4. Why do you want to work for our department?
Each department in a company has different
cultures and procedures. So when applying
for a special position the company,
candidates should show their passions for
which department they are interested in.
What the interviewer expects is a persuasive
answer given by candidates. It is a good
suggestion for candidates to show their true
desire to the department which they want to
apply in order to let the interviewer know
their interest.
I do not hesitate to apply for the position of
police officer. Because I want to show my
passion for your department where brings
me a lot of chances to earn money and I can
achieve my goals. Moreover, I am fully
confident of having ability in investigating
and arresting robbers.

5. Why did you choose the police officer career? Why the
police force?
The honor and conscience are two valuable
things which someone needs to conserve. So
there are not many people want to do
something beyond them. They may want to
do something useful for our community. You
shouldn’t be exaggerated your point of view
about conscience and faithfulness.
If you have passion for the police force and
would like to protect innocent from the
criminal factors in society, do not hesitate to
express your wish and ambition. With a
positive and constructive character of a
policeman, you are willing to do the best you
can to prevent your society from crime,
reduce the fear of crime and improve the
quality of life for all citizens.

6. Tell us about your qualifications or academic
qualifications?
In order to fulfill your wish to become a police
officer, it is imperative to finish a course in the
police academy and then possess a certificate from
the police academy. As a policeman, you need to
have appropriately particular ability to do various
desk jobs and jobs in the police force. A policeman
not only undertakes tasks on the streets but also
fights against the bad factors and deals with lost or
found property. The policeman uses a wide range of
technology to protect individuals, identify the
perpetrators of crime and ensure successful
prosecutions against those who break the law.
If you are undergone training at a police academy
and you have enough physical strength and agility,
you may have chance to keep an important position
in the police force rather than walking around on
the streets. So you make sure you are fully fit to the
position based on an associate’s or bachelor’s
degree and the academic qualifications you got.

7. Give us one example where you did not lose your cool in
spite of the circumstances?
A lot of complex circumstances can
happen at any time, as a police officer
you have to keep your patience. If not,
you not only bring disrepute to your
police force but also to your society just
because of your hot temper. In order to
demonstrate your patience to the
interviewer, you should give an example
in which you successfully controlled your
actions and kept patience in the
situations you faced.

8. What do you think about the role of fire department?
As mentioned above, a police should and
have to know his important role to
people’s lives, safety as well as to the
protection and maintenance of
properties as much as possible when a
fire happens.
A police should remember that keeping
human lives is the most important duty.
In some cases when doing his job, a
police has to decide between lives and
valuables. If this is the case, remember
that human lives are always prioritized
and more important than anything else.

9. What have you learned from mistakes on the police job?
Answer tips
Here you have to come up with something or you strain
credibility. Make it small, well intentioned mistake with a
positive lesson learned. An example would be working too far
ahead of colleagues on a project and thus throwing
coordination off.
Everyone makes mistakes, of course, but some companies are
more willing to learn from them than punish those involved.
You’ve learned that when you do make mistakes, someone is
usually disappointed in the choice you made, but you have to
figure it out for yourself, they might help you decide what ‘s
right and what ‘ss wrong, but you’ll be the decider on which
you choose. You’ve learned that people do care about you, and
to not do it again if you don’t want to.
Answer samples
Every one makes mistakes but only few people can realize there
mistakes and they don’t want to repeat those mistakes again…..
I am the one in those few people, I don’t want to repeat the
mistakes which had done by me in my job/work.

• interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
10. What have you done to improve your police knowledge
in the last year?
Answer tips
• Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job.
A wide variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-
improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.
• Employers look for applicants who are goal-oriented. Show
a desire for continuous learning by listing hobbies non-work
related. Regardless of what hobbies you choose to showcase,
remember that the goal is to prove self-sufficiency, time
management, and motivation.
Answer samples
• Every should learn from his mistake. I always try to consult
my mistakes with my kith and kin especially with elderly and
experienced person.
• I enrolled myself into a course useful for the next version of
our current project. I attended seminars on personal
development and managerial skills improvement.

11. How has your education prepared you for your career?
This is a broad question and you need to
focus on the behavioural examples in
your educational background which
specifically align to the required
competencies for the career.
Sample Answer: My education has
focused on not only the learning the
fundamentals, but also on the practical
application of the information learned
within those classes. For example, I
played a lead role in a class project where
we gathered and analysed best practice
data from this industry. Let me tell you
more about the results . . .
Focus on behavioural examples
supporting the key competencies for the
career. Then ask if they would like to hear
more examples.

12. What are your aspirations beyond this job?
Again, don't fall into the trap of specifying
job titles. Stick to a natural progression you
see as plausible. How should this job grow
for the good of the organization? Then turn
your attention once again to the job at hand.
If you seem too interested in what lies
beyond this job, the interviewer will fear that
you won't stick around for long.
Sample Answer: Beyond this job as a
marketing assistant, I see myself moving up
through marketing analysis into brand
management and eventually running a
category. I'm aware that there are several
skills I need to develop in the interval, and I
believe with your continuing-education
program and my own motivation for self-
improvement, I'll have those skills when the
opportunities arise for greater responsibility.
That's why I'm determined to learn from the
ground up, starting as a marketing assistant.

13. What is your biggest achievement?
If possible, think work related. There will
hopefully be a number of things you are
most proud of in your career to date.
Think about your key achievements; were
they commercial, people or process
orientated? What was the cause and
effect? How were you involved, what was
improved, saved or developed?
If you are short on career-based
examples, use personal achievements
which demonstrate the commercial skills
required for the role, such as team work,
commitment, empathy, determination,
attention to detail, etc.

14. How do you handle stressful situations and working
under pressure?
There are several ways of addressing this
one. You may be the sort of person that
works well under pressure; you may even
thrive under pressure. Whatever the case,
make sure you don't say you panic. You
want to give specific examples of
stressful situations and how well you
dealt with them. You may also want to list
a few tools you use to help you, such as
to-do lists, etc. It is alright to say that you
will ask for assistance when the job is
more than what you can handle. It is
equally acceptable to say that you work
best under pressure if this is indeed the
case and relevant to the particular role.

15. What relevant experience do you have?
Hopefully if you're applying for this
position you have bags of related
experience, and if that's the case you
should mention it all. But if you're
switching careers or trying something a
little different, your experience may
initially not look like it's matching up.
That's when you need a little honest
creativity to match the experiences
required with the ones you have. People
skills are people skills after all, you just
need to show how customer service skills
can apply to internal management
positions, and so on.

16. Why do you want this police job?
Again, companies want to hire people
who are passionate about the job, so you
should have a great answer about why
you want the position. (And if you don't?
You probably should apply elsewhere.)
First, identify a couple of key factors that
make the role a great fit for you (e.g., “I
love customer support because I love the
constant human interaction and the
satisfaction that comes from helping
someone solve a problem"), then share
why you love the company (e.g., “I’ve
always been passionate about education,
and I think you guys are doing great
things, so I want to be a part of it”).

17. What have you learned from mistakes on the police job?
Candidates without specific examples often
do not seem credible. However, the example
shared should be fairly inconsequential,
unintentional, and a learned lesson should
be gleaned from it. Moving ahead without
group assistance while assigned to a group
project meant to be collaborative is a good
example.

18. What challenges are you looking for in this police
position?
A typical interview question to determine what you
are looking for your in next job, and whether you
would be a good fit for the position being hired for,
is "What challenges are you looking for in a
position?"
The best way to answer questions about the
challenges you are seeking is to discuss how you
would like to be able to effectively utilize your
skills and experience if you were hired for the job.
You can also mention that you are motivated by
challenges, have the ability to effectively meet
challenges, and have the flexibility and skills
necessary to handle a challenging job.
You can continue by describing specific examples
of challenges you have met and goals you have
achieved in the past.

19. Describe a typical work week for police position?
Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to
discuss what they do while they are working in
detail. Before you answer, consider the position
you are applying for and how your current or past
positions relate to it. The more you can connect
your past experience with the job opening, the
more successful you will be at answering the
questions.
It should be obvious that it's not a good idea talk
about non-work related activities that you do on
company time, but, I've had applicants tell me how
they are often late because they have to drive a
child to school or like to take a long lunch break to
work at the gym.
Keep your answers focused on work and show the
interviewer that you're organized ("The first thing I
do on Monday morning is check my voicemail and
email, then I prioritize my activities for the week.")
and efficient.

20. What is your biggest weakness?
No one likes to answer this question because it
requires a very delicate balance. You simply can’t
lie and say you don’t have one; you can’t trick the
interviewer by offering up a personal weakness
that is really a strength (“Sometimes, I work too
much and don’t maintain a work-life balance.”);
and you shouldn’t be so honest that you throw
yourself under the bus (“I’m not a morning person
so I’m working on getting to the office on time.”)
Think of a small flaw like “I sometimes get
sidetracked by small details”, “I am occasionally
not as patient as I should be with subordinates or
co-workers who do not understand my ideas”, or “I
am still somewhat nervous and uncomfortable with
my public-speaking skills and would like to give
more presentations and talk in front of others or in
meetings.” Add that you are aware of the problem
and you are doing your best to correct it by taking
a course of action.

21. Why should the we hire you as police position?
This is the part where you link your skills,
experience, education and your personality to the
job itself. This is why you need to be utterly
familiar with the job description as well as the
company culture. Remember though, it’s best to
back them up with actual examples of say, how
you are a good team player.
It is possible that you may not have as much skills,
experience or qualifications as the other
candidates. What then, will set you apart from
the rest? Energy and passion might. People are
attracted to someone who is charismatic, who
show immense amount of energy when they talk,
and who love what it is that they do. As you
explain your compatibility with the job and
company, be sure to portray yourself as that
motivated, confident and energetic person, ever-
ready to commit to the cause of the company.

22. What do you know about our company?
Follow these three easy research tips before your next
job interview:
1) Visit the company website; look in the “about us”
section and “careers” sections
2) Visit the company’s LinkedIn page (note, you must
have a LinkedIn account — its free to sign up) to view
information about the company
3) Google a keyword search phrase like “press releases”
followed by the company name; you’ll find the most
recent news stories shared by the company
Remember, just because you have done your
“homework”, it does not mean you need to share ALL of
it during the interview! Reciting every fact you’ve
learned is almost as much of a turn off as not knowing
anything at all! At a minimum, you should include the
following in your answer:
1. What type of product or service the company sells
2. How long the company has been in business
3. What the company culture is like OR what the
company mission statement is, and how the culture
and/or mission relate to your values or personality
Useful materials: • interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-124-police-interview-questions-and-answers
• interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
23. Why do you want to work with us?
More likely than not, the interviewer wishes to see
how much you know about the company culture,
and whether you can identify with the
organization’s values and vision. Every
organization has its strong points, and these are the
ones that you should highlight in your answer. For
example, if the company emphasizes on integrity
with customers, then you mention that you would
like to be in such a team because you yourself
believe in integrity.
It doesn’t have to be a lie. In the case that your
values are not in line with the ones by the
company, ask yourself if you would be happy
working there. If you have no issue with that, go
ahead. But if you are aware of the company culture
and realize that there is some dilemma you might
be facing, you ought to think twice. The best
policy is to be honest with yourself, and be honest
with the interviewer with what is it in the company
culture that motivates you.

24. Did the salary we offer attract you to this police job?
The interviewer could be asking you this
question for a number of reasons.
Obviously, the salary is an important factor
to your interest in this job, but it should not
be the overriding reason for your interest. A
good answer to this question is, “The salary
was very attractive, but the job itself is what
was most attractive to me.”
Useful materials: • interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-124-police-interview-questions-and-answers
• interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
25. Do you have any questions to ask us?
Never ask Salary, perks, leave, place of
posting, etc. regarded questions.
Try to ask more about the company to show
how early you can make a contribution to
your organization like
“Sir, with your kind permission I would like
to know more about induction and
developmental programs?”
OR
Sir, I would like to have my feedback, so that
I can analyze and improve my strengths and
rectify my shortcomings.

1. Conduct Research on the Employer, Hiring Manager, Job
Opportunity.
Success in a job interview starts with a
solid foundation of knowledge on the job-
seeker's part. You should understand the
employer, the requirements of the job,
and the background of the person (or
people) interviewing you. The more
research you conduct, the more you'll
understand the employer, and the better
you'll be able to answer interview
questions.

2. Review Common Interview Questions and Prepare
Responses.
Another key to interview success is preparing
responses to expected interview questions. First,
inquire as to the type of interview to expect
(which you can do by asking your contact person
at the organization). Your goal is composing
detailed yet concise responses, focusing on
specific examples and accomplishments. A good
tool for remembering your responses is to put
them into story form that you can tell in the
interview. No need to memorize responses (in
fact, it's best not to), but at least develop talking
points.

3.Tailor your story to the job.
Tailor your story to the jobApplying your story to a
specific employer or job is the next step. Lining up
the stories that apply to the opportunity at hand is
critical. Put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes and
pose the questions you would ask. Which stories
are relevant to this job interview? Think about
personal stories that show how you handled
change, made choices under pressure, or learned
lessons from mistakes and failures. You should
also think about stories you can tell in the
interview that reveal your skill set.
Learning and appreciating your story is a
prerequisite to any interview process. Don’t rely on
your ability to think on your feet. Anticipate the
questions and have answers at the ready. In the
end, this is about making a great and memorable
impression that demonstrates competency and
ability.

4. Dress for Success.
Plan out a wardrobe that fits the organization and
its culture, striving for the most professional
appearance you can accomplish. Remember that
it's always better to be overdressed than under --
and to wear clothing that fits and is clean and
pressed. Keep accessories and jewelry to a
minimum. Try not to smoke or eat right before the
interview -- and if possible, brush your teeth or use
mouthwash.

5. Arrive on Time for the Interview -- and Prepared for Success
There is no excuse for ever arriving late for an
interview -- other than some sort of disaster. Strive
to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled
interview to complete additional paperwork and
allow yourself time to get settled. Arriving a bit
early is also a chance to observe the dynamics of
the workplace.
The day before the interview, pack up extra copies
of your resume or CV and reference list. If you
have a portfolio or samples of your work, bring
those along too. Finally, remember to pack several
pens and a pad of paper to jot notes.
Finally, as you get to the offices, shut off your cell
phone. (And if you were chewing gum, get rid of
it.)

6. Make Good First Impressions -- to Everyone You Encounter
A cardinal rule of interviewing: Be polite and offer
warm greetings to everyone you meet -- from parking
attendant or receptionist to the hiring manager.
Employers often are curious how job applicants treat
staff members -- and your job offer could easily be
derailed if you're rude or arrogant to any of the staff.
When it's time for the interview, keep in mind that first
impressions -- the ones interviewers make in the first
few seconds of greeting you -- can make or break an
interview. Make a strong first impression by dressing
well (see #3), arriving early (see #4), and when
greeting your interviewer, stand, smile, make eye
contact, and offer a firm (neither limp and nor bone-
crushing) handshake.
Remember that having a positive attitude and
expressing enthusiasm for the job and employer are
vital in the initial stages of the interview; studies show
that hiring managers make critical decisions about job
applicants in the first 20 minutes of the interview.

7. Remember Body Language, Avoiding Bad Habits
While the content of your interview responses is
paramount, poor body language can be a distraction at
best -- or a reason not to hire you at worst.
Effective forms of body language: smiling, eye contact,
solid posture, active listening, nodding.
Detrimental forms of body language: slouching, looking
off in the distance, playing with pen, fidgeting in chair,
brushing back hair, touching face, chewing gum,
mumbling.

8. Ask Insightful Questions
Studies continually show that employers make a
judgment about an applicant's interest in the job by
whether or not the interviewee asks questions.
Thus, even if the hiring manager was thorough in
his or her discussions about the job opening and
what is expected, you must ask a few questions.
The smart job-seeker prepares questions to ask
days before the interview, adding any additional
queries that might arise from the interview.

9. Sell Yourself Throughout and then Close the Deal
An adage in interviewing says the most qualified
applicant is not always the one who is hired --
which means the hired candidate is often the
job-seeker who does the best job in responding
to interview questions and showcasing his or her
fit with the job, department, and organization.
Some liken the job interview to a sales call. You
are the salesperson -- and the product you are
selling to the employer is your ability to fill the
organization's needs, solve its problems, propel
its success.
Finally, as the interview winds down, ask about
the next steps in the process and the timetable
the employer expects to use to make a decision
about the position. If you are applying for a sales
job -- or a position requiring equivalent
aggressiveness -- consider asking for the job at
the end of the interview.

10. Be Authentic, Upbeat, Focused, Confident, Candid, and Concise.
Once the interview starts, the key to success is the
quality and delivery of your responses. Your goal
should always be authenticity, responding
truthfully to interview questions. At the same
time, your goal is to get to the next step, so you'll
want to provide focused responses that showcase
your skills, experience, and fit -- with the job and
the employer. Provide solid examples of solutions
and accomplishments -- but keep your responses
short and to the point.
By preparing responses to common interview
questions (see #2), you'll ideally avoid long,
rambling responses that bore interviewers.
Always attempt to keep your interview responses
short and to the point.
Finally, no matter how much an interviewer
might bait you, never badmouth a previous
employer, boss, or co-worker. The interview is
about you -- and making your case that you are
the ideal candidate for the job.

11.Focus more on what you can do for the company, rather
than what they can do for you
At the beginning of the job interview process, someone has
to assume the role of the seller, and someone has to be the
buyer.
You're the seller at this early stage of the process.
As the interview progresses you will eventually be
asked: Do you have any questions for us?
It’s a bad idea to say, no, I can’t think of anything. It’s also a
bad idea to have a grocery list of interview questions a mile
long.
Appropriate Job Interview Questions to Ask Your
Interviewers
• How would you describe a typical day in this position?
• In my first 90 days on the job, what’s my first priority?
• What is one of the most difficult challenges facing your
department?
• Is this a new position, or am I replacing someone?
• What’s the company’s strategy for generating new
business?
• What is your management style like?

• interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
12.Bring examples of your work
Use the power of the printed word to your
advantage. As an executive recruiter, I can’t
tell you the number of times I’ve been called
by a hiring manager after an interview, and
told how impressed they were with one of my
candidates who brought examples of their
work.
Most job seekers fail to do this in preparing
for a job interview. This one job interview tip
alone will set you apart from other
candidates.
Idea: Some job seekers bring a copy of their
most recent written evaluation to the
interview. Obviously, you should only do this
if your evaluation is outstanding.
The power of the printed word applies here as
well. If you share your strengths with your
interviewers, it's duly noted. If one of your
bosses said those same things about you...it's
gospel.
Another great example of your work is any
chart or graph that illustrates specifically how
you saved the company time or money...or
how you made the company money.

13.Don’t bring up salary or benefits during the first
interview
The interviewing process is a 2-way
street. Just as the company is evaluating
you, you are evaluating them.
A job change is a big deal and you should
know things like how the 401K plan
works, how the bonus is figured, what is
their vacation policy, and what kind of
benefits they provide.
However...
It is interviewing suicide to ask these
questions during the first interview. The
appropriate time to ask these questions is
after the company has decided to extend
you an offer.
Once a company has decided that they
must have you on their team, then it is
timely and appropriate for you to ask
these kinds of questions.

14. Thank Interviewer(s) in Person, by Email, and Postal Mail
As you have already seen from previous
tips, common courtesy and politeness go
far in interviewing; thus, the importance
of thanking each person who interviews
you should come as no surprise. Start the
process while at the interview, thanking
each person who interviewed you.
Writing thank-you emails and notes
shortly after the interview will not get you
the job offer, but doing so will certainly
give you an edge over any of the other
finalists who did not bother to send
thank-you's.

  • 6. 1. Why do you decide to choose your career as a police officer? Nowadays, there are not many people doing something bad for society because they have their conscience guided. Focusing on such things as conscience or loyalty will not help you with this question as such things have become rather vague in daily life and if someone wishes to do something for the society, practical actions would be better than just words.

  • 16. 11. How has your education prepared you for your career? This is a broad question and you need to focus on the behavioural examples in your educational background which specifically align to the required competencies for the career. Sample Answer: My education has focused on not only the learning the fundamentals, but also on the practical application of the information learned within those classes.

  • 17. 12. What are your aspirations beyond this job? Again, don't fall into the trap of specifying job titles. Stick to a natural progression you see as plausible. How should this job grow for the good of the organization? Then turn your attention once again to the job at hand. If you seem too interested in what lies beyond this job, the interviewer will fear that you won't stick around for long. Sample Answer: Beyond this job as a marketing assistant, I see myself moving up through marketing analysis into brand management and eventually running a category. I'm aware that there are several skills I need to develop in the interval, and I believe with your continuing-education program and my own motivation for self- improvement, I'll have those skills when the opportunities arise for greater responsibility. That's why I'm determined to learn from the ground up, starting as a marketing assistant.

Think about your key achievements; were they commercial, people or process orientated? What was the cause and effect? How were you involved, what was improved, saved or developed? If you are short on career-based examples, use personal achievements which demonstrate the commercial skills required for the role, such as team work, commitment, empathy, determination, attention to detail, etc. Useful materials: • interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-124-police-interview-questions-and-answers • interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews

You may be the sort of person that works well under pressure; you may even thrive under pressure. Whatever the case, make sure you don't say you panic. You want to give specific examples of stressful situations and how well you dealt with them. You may also want to list a few tools you use to help you, such as to-do lists, etc. It is alright to say that you will ask for assistance when the job is more than what you can handle. It is equally acceptable to say that you work best under pressure if this is indeed the case and relevant to the particular role.

But if you're switching careers or trying something a little different, your experience may initially not look like it's matching up. That's when you need a little honest creativity to match the experiences required with the ones you have.

  • 21. 16. Why do you want this police job? Again, companies want to hire people who are passionate about the job, so you should have a great answer about why you want the position. (And if you don't? You probably should apply elsewhere.) First, identify a couple of key factors that make the role a great fit for you (e.g., “I love customer support because I love the constant human interaction and the satisfaction that comes from helping someone solve a problem"), then share why you love the company (e.g., “I’ve always been passionate about education, and I think you guys are doing great things, so I want to be a part of it”).

  • 23. 18. What challenges are you looking for in this police position? A typical interview question to determine what you are looking for your in next job, and whether you would be a good fit for the position being hired for, is "What challenges are you looking for in a position?" The best way to answer questions about the challenges you are seeking is to discuss how you would like to be able to effectively utilize your skills and experience if you were hired for the job. You can also mention that you are motivated by challenges, have the ability to effectively meet challenges, and have the flexibility and skills necessary to handle a challenging job. You can continue by describing specific examples of challenges you have met and goals you have achieved in the past.

  • 24. 19. Describe a typical work week for police position? Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to discuss what they do while they are working in detail. Before you answer, consider the position you are applying for and how your current or past positions relate to it. The more you can connect your past experience with the job opening, the more successful you will be at answering the questions. It should be obvious that it's not a good idea talk about non-work related activities that you do on company time, but, I've had applicants tell me how they are often late because they have to drive a child to school or like to take a long lunch break to work at the gym. Keep your answers focused on work and show the interviewer that you're organized ("The first thing I do on Monday morning is check my voicemail and email, then I prioritize my activities for the week.") and efficient.

  • 25. 20. What is your biggest weakness? No one likes to answer this question because it requires a very delicate balance. You simply can’t lie and say you don’t have one; you can’t trick the interviewer by offering up a personal weakness that is really a strength (“Sometimes, I work too much and don’t maintain a work-life balance.”); and you shouldn’t be so honest that you throw yourself under the bus (“I’m not a morning person so I’m working on getting to the office on time.”) Think of a small flaw like “I sometimes get sidetracked by small details”, “I am occasionally not as patient as I should be with subordinates or co-workers who do not understand my ideas”, or “I am still somewhat nervous and uncomfortable with my public-speaking skills and would like to give more presentations and talk in front of others or in meetings.” Add that you are aware of the problem and you are doing your best to correct it by taking a course of action.

  • 26. 21. Why should the we hire you as police position? This is the part where you link your skills, experience, education and your personality to the job itself. This is why you need to be utterly familiar with the job description as well as the company culture. Remember though, it’s best to back them up with actual examples of say, how you are a good team player. It is possible that you may not have as much skills, experience or qualifications as the other candidates. What then, will set you apart from the rest? Energy and passion might. People are attracted to someone who is charismatic, who show immense amount of energy when they talk, and who love what it is that they do. As you explain your compatibility with the job and company, be sure to portray yourself as that motivated, confident and energetic person, ever- ready to commit to the cause of the company.

  • 27. 22. What do you know about our company? Follow these three easy research tips before your next job interview: 1) Visit the company website; look in the “about us” section and “careers” sections 2) Visit the company’s LinkedIn page (note, you must have a LinkedIn account — its free to sign up) to view information about the company 3) Google a keyword search phrase like “press releases” followed by the company name; you’ll find the most recent news stories shared by the company Remember, just because you have done your “homework”, it does not mean you need to share ALL of it during the interview! Reciting every fact you’ve learned is almost as much of a turn off as not knowing anything at all! At a minimum, you should include the following in your answer: 1. What type of product or service the company sells 2. How long the company has been in business 3. What the company culture is like OR what the company mission statement is, and how the culture and/or mission relate to your values or personality Useful materials: • interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-124-police-interview-questions-and-answers • interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
  • 28. 23. Why do you want to work with us? More likely than not, the interviewer wishes to see how much you know about the company culture, and whether you can identify with the organization’s values and vision. Every organization has its strong points, and these are the ones that you should highlight in your answer. For example, if the company emphasizes on integrity with customers, then you mention that you would like to be in such a team because you yourself believe in integrity. It doesn’t have to be a lie. In the case that your values are not in line with the ones by the company, ask yourself if you would be happy working there. If you have no issue with that, go ahead. But if you are aware of the company culture and realize that there is some dilemma you might be facing, you ought to think twice. The best policy is to be honest with yourself, and be honest with the interviewer with what is it in the company culture that motivates you.

A good answer to this question is, “The salary was very attractive, but the job itself is what was most attractive to me.” Useful materials: • interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-124-police-interview-questions-and-answers • interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews

  • 32. 1. Conduct Research on the Employer, Hiring Manager, Job Opportunity. Success in a job interview starts with a solid foundation of knowledge on the job- seeker's part. You should understand the employer, the requirements of the job, and the background of the person (or people) interviewing you. The more research you conduct, the more you'll understand the employer, and the better you'll be able to answer interview questions.

  • 33. 2. Review Common Interview Questions and Prepare Responses. Another key to interview success is preparing responses to expected interview questions. First, inquire as to the type of interview to expect (which you can do by asking your contact person at the organization). Your goal is composing detailed yet concise responses, focusing on specific examples and accomplishments. A good tool for remembering your responses is to put them into story form that you can tell in the interview. No need to memorize responses (in fact, it's best not to), but at least develop talking points.

  • 34. 3.Tailor your story to the job. Tailor your story to the jobApplying your story to a specific employer or job is the next step. Lining up the stories that apply to the opportunity at hand is critical. Put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes and pose the questions you would ask. Which stories are relevant to this job interview? Think about personal stories that show how you handled change, made choices under pressure, or learned lessons from mistakes and failures. You should also think about stories you can tell in the interview that reveal your skill set. Learning and appreciating your story is a prerequisite to any interview process. Don’t rely on your ability to think on your feet. Anticipate the questions and have answers at the ready. In the end, this is about making a great and memorable impression that demonstrates competency and ability.

  • 35. 4. Dress for Success. Plan out a wardrobe that fits the organization and its culture, striving for the most professional appearance you can accomplish. Remember that it's always better to be overdressed than under -- and to wear clothing that fits and is clean and pressed. Keep accessories and jewelry to a minimum. Try not to smoke or eat right before the interview -- and if possible, brush your teeth or use mouthwash.

Strive to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled interview to complete additional paperwork and allow yourself time to get settled. Arriving a bit early is also a chance to observe the dynamics of the workplace. The day before the interview, pack up extra copies of your resume or CV and reference list. If you have a portfolio or samples of your work, bring those along too. Finally, remember to pack several pens and a pad of paper to jot notes. Finally, as you get to the offices, shut off your cell phone. (And if you were chewing gum, get rid of it.)

  • 37. 6. Make Good First Impressions -- to Everyone You Encounter A cardinal rule of interviewing: Be polite and offer warm greetings to everyone you meet -- from parking attendant or receptionist to the hiring manager. Employers often are curious how job applicants treat staff members -- and your job offer could easily be derailed if you're rude or arrogant to any of the staff. When it's time for the interview, keep in mind that first impressions -- the ones interviewers make in the first few seconds of greeting you -- can make or break an interview. Make a strong first impression by dressing well (see #3), arriving early (see #4), and when greeting your interviewer, stand, smile, make eye contact, and offer a firm (neither limp and nor bone- crushing) handshake. Remember that having a positive attitude and expressing enthusiasm for the job and employer are vital in the initial stages of the interview; studies show that hiring managers make critical decisions about job applicants in the first 20 minutes of the interview.

  • 38. 7. Remember Body Language, Avoiding Bad Habits While the content of your interview responses is paramount, poor body language can be a distraction at best -- or a reason not to hire you at worst. Effective forms of body language: smiling, eye contact, solid posture, active listening, nodding. Detrimental forms of body language: slouching, looking off in the distance, playing with pen, fidgeting in chair, brushing back hair, touching face, chewing gum, mumbling.

  • 39. 8. Ask Insightful Questions Studies continually show that employers make a judgment about an applicant's interest in the job by whether or not the interviewee asks questions. Thus, even if the hiring manager was thorough in his or her discussions about the job opening and what is expected, you must ask a few questions. The smart job-seeker prepares questions to ask days before the interview, adding any additional queries that might arise from the interview.

  • 40. 9. Sell Yourself Throughout and then Close the Deal An adage in interviewing says the most qualified applicant is not always the one who is hired -- which means the hired candidate is often the job-seeker who does the best job in responding to interview questions and showcasing his or her fit with the job, department, and organization. Some liken the job interview to a sales call. You are the salesperson -- and the product you are selling to the employer is your ability to fill the organization's needs, solve its problems, propel its success. Finally, as the interview winds down, ask about the next steps in the process and the timetable the employer expects to use to make a decision about the position. If you are applying for a sales job -- or a position requiring equivalent aggressiveness -- consider asking for the job at the end of the interview.

  • 41. 10. Be Authentic, Upbeat, Focused, Confident, Candid, and Concise. Once the interview starts, the key to success is the quality and delivery of your responses. Your goal should always be authenticity, responding truthfully to interview questions. At the same time, your goal is to get to the next step, so you'll want to provide focused responses that showcase your skills, experience, and fit -- with the job and the employer. Provide solid examples of solutions and accomplishments -- but keep your responses short and to the point. By preparing responses to common interview questions (see #2), you'll ideally avoid long, rambling responses that bore interviewers. Always attempt to keep your interview responses short and to the point. Finally, no matter how much an interviewer might bait you, never badmouth a previous employer, boss, or co-worker. The interview is about you -- and making your case that you are the ideal candidate for the job.

  • 42. 11.Focus more on what you can do for the company, rather than what they can do for you At the beginning of the job interview process, someone has to assume the role of the seller, and someone has to be the buyer. You're the seller at this early stage of the process. As the interview progresses you will eventually be asked: Do you have any questions for us? It’s a bad idea to say, no, I can’t think of anything. It’s also a bad idea to have a grocery list of interview questions a mile long. Appropriate Job Interview Questions to Ask Your Interviewers • How would you describe a typical day in this position? • In my first 90 days on the job, what’s my first priority? • What is one of the most difficult challenges facing your department? • Is this a new position, or am I replacing someone? • What’s the company’s strategy for generating new business? • What is your management style like?

  • 43. 12.Bring examples of your work Use the power of the printed word to your advantage. As an executive recruiter, I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been called by a hiring manager after an interview, and told how impressed they were with one of my candidates who brought examples of their work. Most job seekers fail to do this in preparing for a job interview. This one job interview tip alone will set you apart from other candidates. Idea: Some job seekers bring a copy of their most recent written evaluation to the interview. Obviously, you should only do this if your evaluation is outstanding. The power of the printed word applies here as well. If you share your strengths with your interviewers, it's duly noted. If one of your bosses said those same things about you...it's gospel. Another great example of your work is any chart or graph that illustrates specifically how you saved the company time or money...or how you made the company money.

  • 44. 13.Don’t bring up salary or benefits during the first interview The interviewing process is a 2-way street. Just as the company is evaluating you, you are evaluating them. A job change is a big deal and you should know things like how the 401K plan works, how the bonus is figured, what is their vacation policy, and what kind of benefits they provide. However... It is interviewing suicide to ask these questions during the first interview. The appropriate time to ask these questions is after the company has decided to extend you an offer. Once a company has decided that they must have you on their team, then it is timely and appropriate for you to ask these kinds of questions.

  • 45. 14. Thank Interviewer(s) in Person, by Email, and Postal Mail As you have already seen from previous tips, common courtesy and politeness go far in interviewing; thus, the importance of thanking each person who interviews you should come as no surprise. Start the process while at the interview, thanking each person who interviewed you. Writing thank-you emails and notes shortly after the interview will not get you the job offer, but doing so will certainly give you an edge over any of the other finalists who did not bother to send thank-you's.
