Sound Strategies for Handling Tough Interview Questions

When it comes to impressing during an interview with 8th Wonder Events & Promotions (or any company), there are a few absolute musts. One thing candidates have to do is research the companies they hope to join. There’s no reason not to study a potential employer’s website and social media presence to get a good feel for their culture, mission, and overall approach. It’s also vital that applicants prepare themselves for a few commonly asked tough questions.

Everyone who interviews for a job should rehearse a good answer to a question about his or her weaknesses. We’ve found that the most impressive candidates who pass through the 8th Wonder Events & Promotions office have a specific method for responding to this classic query – they focus on improvement. Jobseekers who frame their weak points in terms of the work they’ve done to improve tend to stand out in our hiring managers’ minds.

Candidates can also expect to be asked how they handle stress on the job. This can be tough to answer, especially if the position involves juggling multiple projects at once. The best approach applicants can take is to say that having the good pressure of deadlines keeps them motivated and engaged. Putting a positive spin on what others might see as intimidating is a great way to make a strong impression.

Practicing for these types of questions helps interviewees project confidence on the big day.
