I was working in leaflets delivery door by door so I good some experience about delivering and making happy customers.

Everyone has made mistakes. If you’re honest about one or two mistakes you’ll come across as more believable and trustworthy than someone who denies all. Focus on the take outs from these mistakes.

First, consider what your work style really is. And then consider whether that style is suited for the job and company culture you’re interested in. If you’re an extreme extrovert but the job requires hours of independent, fairly isolated work, you will have a much harder time answering this question than someone whose work style does, in fact, match the job.

Discuss this question with friends, mentors, and possibly your references before the interview. If at all possible, think of something you were later able to correct. Then the story isn't just about a failure, but also about a learning experience.

Ok, this may sound like a silly job interview question and something more in line with common job interview etiquette than the substance of the interview itself, but experts say that when someone does something for you, they are actually slightly more positively inclined towards you.

We know you’re perfect. But this could work against you if you brag. Think of three or four good points and give examples of how they have benefited previous employers.

I love ordering from the restaurant and have never had a bad experience here. It sounds like a great place to work.

Indicate that you can and ask the interviewer how much pressure is involved in the position. Learn what the interviewer means by pressure. The definition can vary significantly from person to person and company to company. If you are a pro at pressure jobs, describe a few accomplishments.

There was a time when a customer wanted laundry detergent that was out of stock, but I was able to locate it in a shrink wrapped pallet of freight that hasn't been stocked yet.

I love driving, I love the customer service aspect but the one thing that I would like would be the traffic if there is any that comes about. As much as I try to find the best and fastest route, living in Los Angeles in general makes it hard.

This is a loaded question. A positive reply might be, "I'm the kind of person who does whatever is necessary to get the job done. When I do run into something disagreeable, I try to do it first and get it behind me. I have no particular dislikes."

I have only ever used a vehicle as a mode of transportation but I am willing and able to deliver messages through bike route, walking or any other convenient mode of transportation.

I organize by having a mindset of what needs to be done and the time frame I have to work with. I would plan ahead and make sure I can tell what projects need to be prioritized and start from the beginning.

The interviewer wants to find out whether your cup is half full or half empty. It’s best to focus on what you liked. Talk about the culture and the organisation and post it in a good light.

Whatever your true feelings might be, stay positive. This is not the time or place to list your boss's shortcomings or frustrating behaviors. Try responses like: "She was the kind of person I could learn from." or "We were able to communicate well and things got done quickly."

As a job seeker, the best way to answer this common interview question is to emphasize the merits and exciting aspects of the position itself to convey your enthusiasm, rather than a time to rehash how your background and work experience is a fit.
