During مقابلة التوظيف، يسعى الموظِّفون لمعرفة أخلاقك ولاستكشاف مدى حاجتك إلى الوظيفة، فيطرحون أسئلةً معينة عليك وهي أصلاً “مفخخة”،

Because they’re unexpected and require carefully considered answers, according to Al Nahar, these questions are somewhat personal and touch on your personality and habits. Job seekers can fall into the trap, leading companies to reject them.

إذا ما لم تحبّذ إجاباته، لا تقع في الشرك وانتبه إلى الأسئلة “المفخخة” التالية والغاية منها:

.

1. How long do you plan to stay with the company?

This question is meant to find out whether someone wants the job just to add it to their résumé, or whether they’re genuinely committed to doing the work. So, never specify

for a specific period, such as a year, two years, or five years—or as long as the job is right for you. But according to the weekly magazine Bloomberg, the best answer is to express your commitment

to fulfilling your responsibilities without setting a time limit, emphasizing your desire to contribute to the company's success.

2- What bothered you about your previous manager and colleagues?

If you’re asked this question, it’s a test of your ethics. Don’t make nasty remarks or use offensive language about your former manager or colleagues, as it will reflect

badly on you. Managers and HR professionals often have close working relationships within the same field, the site warns.

3- If you won the lottery, would you stay in your job?

أشارت صحيفة “ذا هافينتغتون بوست” في تقريرٍ لها إلى هذا السؤال “المفخخ” والصعب الإجابة، إذ يتلعثم المتقدمون إلى الوظيفة عند طرحه عليهم،

because a person would stop working after winning the lottery, no longer needing a monthly salary and being free to travel and enjoy their sudden wealth.

Citing career and life coaches, the report said it’s best to answer honestly. Of course, you wouldn’t stay in your job, but you shouldn’t say that you have no desire

to work or be productive at all, or that you’d spend your money traveling and having fun. It’s better to say you’d start your own business and pursue your goals.

.

4- Tell me about yourself:

Avoid talking about your family, friends, outings, and celebrations with them, as Fortune advises. Instead, mention work-related events you’ve attended and tell

them about hobbies that make you seem friendly and engaging—especially if they’re relevant to the job you’re applying for. Talking about your social life and how much your

friends like you matters less to an employer than your cultural activities and your efforts to learn through personal experiences and independent initiative.

5- What would you say if I told you that you failed this interview?

Fortune also points to this tricky question, noting that employers use it to gauge your reaction. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve failed, since the

الموظِّف قال “إذا”، ناصحةً المتقدمين إلى الوظيفة بالإجابة براحة وثقة: “إذا جاء التقييم على هذا الشكل، فهذا يدفعني لتحسين سيرتي الذاتية ويحفّزني

لبذل جهد أكبر، مع العلم أني أرى نفسي جديراً بهذه الوظيفة لديكم”. هكذا جواب ينمّ عن راحة نفسية وثقة بالنفس، ما يُبعدك من احتمال الرسوب

في المقابلة.
