Although this would seem like a simple question, it can easily become tricky. You shouldn’t mention salary being a factor at this point. If you’re currently employed, your response can focus on developing and expanding your career and even yourself. If you’re current employer is downsizing, remain positive and brief. If your employer fired you, prepare a solid reason. Under no circumstance should you discuss any drama or negativity, always remain positive.

You should do your research prior to the interview. Look into background history of the company, this will help you stick out. Learn about main people, have they been in the news lately? The interviewer doesn’t expect you to know dates and certain people, but showing that you have enough interest to research the company is a positive impression.

This can be a tricky question to respond to, if you suggest you have no weaknesses you’re going to appear as a lair or egotistical. You should respond realistically by mentioning small work related weaknesses. Although many try to answer using a positive skill in disguise as a weakness, like “I expect co-workers to have the same commitment” or “I am a perfectionist”. However, it is recommended that there is some honesty and the weaknesses are true, and then emphasize on how you have overcome it or working to improve it. The purpose of this question is to see how you view and evaluate yourself.

We really are a technology company at our core, which might seem surprising to some. Some examples of roles in that area are engineers, graphic designers, and digital marketing strategists. We also hire a lot of revenue analysts right out of college. These are the people who analyze the rise and fall of the stock market, and determine air travel prices based on that. It's a nuanced skill, and it offers young people a lot of growth. We almost always have a need in that department because people are promoted very quickly. They learn many skills on the job and find different opportunities within the company.

I work well under pressure to meet deadlines without jeopardizing the quality of my work. I have always worked in a fast pace environment where we are constantly under pressure to achieve best results within a time frame.

I would like to expand my knowledge in the field of electrical installation applications to that of the aerospace industry rather than just general automotive. Specifically speaking, aircraft.

Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can (ie: related airline, customer service, or technical experience).

If you are being asked this question from your employer then feel free to fully explain your experience. Tell the employer what responsibilities you were performing during your previous job.

This question is like a loaded gun, tricky and dangerous if you’re not sure what you are doing. It’s not uncommon for people to end up talking salary before really selling their skills, but knowledge is power as this is a negotiation after all. Again, this is an area where doing your research will be helpful as you will have an understanding of average salary.

One approach is asking the interviewer about the salary range, but to avoid the question entirely, you can respond that money isn’t a key factor and you’re goal is to advance in your career. However, if you have a minimum figure in mind and you believe you’re able to get it, you may find it worth trying.
