Intrebari Interviu

Este important sa intelegeti ca fiecare interviu este diferit, iar angajatorul isi doreste sa auda
raspunsuri oneste, pentru a va face un profil cat mai complet, dincolo de informatiile pe care
le poate extrage din CV-ul dumneavoastra.
Mai jos puteti gasi cateva intrebari frecvente si hint-uri pentru a trece cu bine peste interviul
cu angajatorul. Incercati sa va pregatiti dinainte si sa gasiti raspuns pentru fiecare intrebare
in parte, fara a memora, insa, raspunsurile cuvant cu cuvant. Fiti relaxat si tineti minte:
