With the consent of the group members on whatsapp, we have decided to have tonight's mock interview session here on this thread starting by 8pm! The idea is to ask possible interview questions and provide answers to them! Then, other members would give their opinions on the responses and everyone gets to take note! Since no answer/response is wrong, we would be hoping for a lot of contributions when the session commences. Thank you! 5 Likes |

Re: Fidelity Bank Recruitment For Graduate Trainee 2017 (Bsc And HND Only) by Okpanwu(m): 1:52pm On Apr 18, 2017 |
1. Interview Question: Tell us about Yourself.
Tip: If you’re attending an interview, here’s one
question you can’t escape. and it usually comes
first. The formula to getting the answer right is to
start from where you currently are, then delve
backwards a little bit about the experience you’ve
garnered at your previous roles. And round off with
the future – why you’re really excited about this
opportunity.
Answer: “I’m currently an Accounts Officer at
GTBank, where I manage the accounts of some of
the bank’s top customers. Before that, I worked at
KPMG as a graduate trainee for 2 years. My
experience there really enhanced my analytical and
problem solving skills. I’ll love the chance to
advance my career in the Oil and Gas Sector, which
is why I’m so excited about this opportunity with
the Petroleum Training Institute.”
2. Interview Question: What do you know about this
organization?
Tip: This question is one reason to do some
research on the organization before the interview.
As soon as you’re invited for an interview, it is
expected of you to find out as much information you
can about the company. Find out where they have
been and where they are going. What are the
current issues and who are the major players (The
Founders/ Owners), when was the company
established, what services or goods do they
produce, where is their head office, branches
located, what is their mission statement, vision?
Answer: “The Petroleum Training Institute is a
federal government owned tertiary institution
established in 1973 to train indigenous middle-level
manpower to meet the labour force requirement of
the Nigerian oil and gas industry. The motto of the
institution is “For skill, service and progress” and
the current principal is Mr. Joseph Orukele.”
3. Interview Question: Why do you want to work
here?
Tip: To answer this question correctly, you need to
do a little research on the company so that you can
identify specific reasons why you want to work with
the organization, and most importantly, be able to
defend whatever reason you state, should the
interviewer ask you to explain further. These
reasons could be one or more of the following: The
company’s pedigree, the reputation of its founders,
admiration of its offerings (goods or services),
company’s management philosophy, company’s
recognition and awards received, core values,
company’s market position and prospects.
Answer: “Well, the Zenith Bank’s pedigree is
certainly one to be reckoned with. I would be proud
to work for a company with such a long history of
leadership in the industry.”
4. Interview Question: What experience do you have
in this field?
Tip: Speak about what you’ve done in the past or
what you do in your present job that is related to the
position you are applying for. Here you can also
include free services you rendered to religious or
social organizations, friends and relations. If you do
not have any specific experience, get as close as
possible.
Answer: “From the job description, you’re looking
for an individual who can take proper charge of your
financial records. You also need someone who is
computer literate and proficient with accounting
packages. In my previous role as an Accountant
with PZ Industries, I was responsible for maintaining
the books of accounts of the company. I prepared
the final accounts, balance sheets, profit and loss
account, cash flow statement, and other
management accounts without supervision. I did
these and other related accounting tasks for over a
period of 4 years using various accounting software
including Peachtree and QuickBooks.”
5. Interview Question: Why should we hire you?
Tip: Don’t be scared to tell the interviewer that you
are the best person for the job, but be prepared to
back your claim up with what specifically
differentiates you.
Answer: “You should hire me because I’m the best
person for the job. Although there may be other
candidates who also have what it takes to get the
job done. Yet I bring an additional quality which
makes me the best person for the job – my passion
for excellence. I am passionately committed to
producing results in all my endeavors. For example,
in 2008 when I was given a target to generate 100
million naira deposit from customers, because of
the passion I had for my job, I was the only one in
my team who achieved the target.”
6. Interview Question: How did you hear about the
vacancy?
Tip: No beating about the bush. Go ahead and state
the source. If you found out about the opening
through a friend or a relative, don’t hesitate to drop
the name. Back it up by stating why you were so
excited about the vacancy. Make your answer
short.
Answer: “I heard about the opening through Bidemi,
a childhood friend, but since my undergraduate
days, I’ve always had the dream of working with
your company.”
7. Interview Question: What are your strengths?
Tip: If you’re serious about your job search, this
question won’t give you problems. You ought to
have identified what your greatest strengths are,
even before you start sending your CV out. Your
strength could be your experience, talents and soft
skills. Don’t make the mistake is listing strengths
you do not possess or one that is not relevant to the
position you’re applying for.
Answer: “I think one of my greatest strengths is my
ability to solve problems. I look at situations from
different points of views and I can perform my
tasks under difficult circumstances. I also think my
communication skills are top notch. I’m also good at
negotiating deals and resolving disputes.”
8. Interview Question: What are your weaknesses?
Tip: Don’t say you don’t have weaknesses.
Everyone has. So state one or two weaknesses but
try to turn it into a positive.
Answer: “I’m too passionate about my job, and it
affects my relationships.”
9. Interview Question: Why do you want to leave
your current company?
Tip: Like the question about your boss, don’t say
anything bad about your current company.
Answer: “I have spent over five years with KPMG
gaining exceptional knowledge of the consulting
industry. I am now enthusiastic to apply the
knowledge and skills I acquired on the job in a
different organization with new opportunities and
challenges.”
10. Interview Question: What do you dislike most
about your previous role?
Tip: Dangerous question. The interviewer is probing
for things that you didn’t previously like and then
they can ask a follow on question about why you
didn’t like them. Beware of this trap. Turn the
question round and give a “model answer”.
Answer: “I would like to avoid the situation in the
last role where we had tight deadlines and 3 of my
colleagues went off on long term sick. Although we
achieved our targets it was only through hard effort,
team-work and long hours.”
See how these answers portray you in a good light
and turn a negative into a positive. Make sure you
have prepared an answer otherwise you could see
yourself stumbling!
11. Interview Question: How would You describe
your former boss?
Tip: Don’t say anything bad about your former boss.
Answer: “My former boss gives me a high degree of
freedom to get along with my job while always
being there to assist with difficult or unusual
situations – to lend his experience. He is a very
hardworking and busy person but finds time to
supervise his team, steering us in the right direction
and helping us to achieve results we taught were
impossible. I still maintain a cordial relationship with
him.”
12. Interview Question: What lessons have you
learnt from your previous job?
Tip: Another chance to talk about your successes
but a truly open ended question. You should talk
about your specific skills and experience that you
can offer. Remember the skills need to be
transferable to the new employer.
A closing statement like the one below will also add
value, it will distinguish your answer and elevate
your application
Answer: “I have learnt a lot of things as you can
imagine. But one point always rings true. Everyone
needs to be treated with respect, their opinion
should be valued and they should be encouraged to
contribute to the good of the organization.”
13. Interview Question: I see from your CV that you
have never actually been in this role in any of your
previous companies. How are you going to cope?
Tip: Firstly, this is an obvious weakness. Weakness
mean risk to an employer and they are looking for
re-assurance that you will adapt to the new
environment.
Relate your previous experience to similar
situations where you moved departments and had a
new role or were faced with new technology which
you had to learn quickly. Turn this into a positive
about “how you are able to adapt to changing
circumstances and have a flexible approach. How
you pick up new skills quickly. How you enjoy the
challenge of the ever changing technology.”
Try to broaden the answer by saying.
Answer: “we are all faced with a fast moving and
changing environment which constantly presents
new challenges. I have always been able to rise to
these and perform effectively despite tight
deadlines and little support.”
Importantly, then go on to list examples of similar
experiences where you have demonstrated such
skills. This should close the issue in the
interviewers mind and paint a positive picture.
14. Interview Question: What is your typical working
week in hours?
Answer: “I like to think I am an effective and
efficient worker who gets through a full workload
each week. However there are times when I need
to work late and weekends and this is fine. This is
often due to uneven demands on my time. I will put
whatever effort it takes to complete my role.”
15. Interview Question: What do co-workers say
about you?
Tip: Be prepared with one or two favorable quotes
from co-workers. Yes! favorable because some
people will never say good things about you. Either
a specific statement or a paraphrase will be perfect.
Answer: “Marcus Nkwocha, a co-worker at PZ
Industries, always said I was the most hard working
person he had ever known.”
It is as powerful as Marcus having said it at the
interview himself.
16. Interview Question: How much do you expect to
Earn?
Tip: Most cases, the employer had already decided
your salary, so it won’t make any difference the
amount you quote. Just make sure you are not too
far from reality.
Answer: “The research I’ve carried out indicates
that positions like this one pay N120,000 to
N150,000 and something in that range would be
acceptable to me as a starting salary.”
17. Interview Question: Describe your dream job.
Tip: In answering this question, lay more emphasis
on what you can contribute to the organization
rather than what you’ll gain.
Answer: “This is my dream job and that’s the
reason I applied for it in the first place. I’m
enthusiastic about the prospects of your
organization and would like to be part of its success
story by contributing my expertise and skills.”
18. Interview Question: Do you have any question
for us?
Tip: Don’t make the mistake of telling the
interviewer you do not have any questions. Asking
questions shows that you have interest in the
company. Also, don’t ask questions like “What does
this company do?” or “How old is this company?”
You are expected to know the answers to these
questions if you’ve done your homework properly.
Answer: “If I’m considered for the job, who shall I

Read the nitty gritty of your discipline, the mock interview will don't really hold water in terms of effect. except, if the person is within the same discipline. Those interviewers are not robot, they ask questions base on your field. e.g, I meant a lady who also came for the interview, and I asked her, her discipline and she responded accounting. As we got talking, she asked me to assess her by asking her some questions since I studied economics. So I started by asking her to tell me the principle of double entry in accounting but she said she doesn't know and I asked her second one, what is the concept and convention of accounting and many more but the same response was what I got. Then, I gave her the answers to the questions but to amazement when she came out of the interview she rush to me and hugged me, I tried to calm her down but she was overwhelmed, in her own voice " everything you told me, was what I was asked" I'm not ruling off the importance of the mock interview but I will strongly recommend that you guys should go to YouTube and download different interview questions and answers. I don't think I could have made my interview without the help I garnered from YouTube videos. I even learned the sweet smile I was dishing out and the 'yes sir' and 'thank you sir' that filled the banking hall that day from YouTube videos. you are free to air your view. 5 Likes |
