How to Prepare Your Interview For a Household Staff Job Position?

9/16/2021

1 Comment

 
The anxiety that comes before a job interview could sometimes be a daunting prospect for both the interviewer and the interviewee, as either of the parties would want to make mistakes on the day of the interview. The position you're applying for doesn't really matter, whether you're applying for the post of a nanny, chef, governess, or other household staff job position, you'll have to go through the interview process.
Job Interview
Adequate preparation for your interview puts you in a better position of securing the job. It also gives you the best opportunity to express yourself, showcase your skill set accurately, and convey your personality. The best way to prepare for a household staff job position interview is by anticipating possible questions and formulating concrete answers. Let's discuss this.
​

Anticipating Possible Questions and Devising Concrete Answers

A good starting point is exploring some of the possible questions that you'll be drilled with, and put together some quality answers to these questions that will enable you to showcase your ability and skill set adequately. You can't be sure about the questions you'll be asked during the interview, but here are some common questions and the best way to answer them.

Your Strengths and Weaknesses?

This question is very common, and you should always expect to be asked during your interview. It's one of those questions that stump interviewees most times. Rather than giving a clichéd answer, try to come up with a solid response that portrays your probity and honesty.
​

Why Did You Quit Your Last Job?

For this question, your answer has to be brief and well prepared. The sole aim of this question is to help the employer find out if you left your previous job due to bad deeds or amicably. So, give a response that addresses that adequately.
​

What Was Your Previous Job Experience Like?

This question gives you the opportunity to explain how your previous job would help you in dispensing your abilities in the current job you're applying for.

What Do You Like About This Role?

Here, the interviewer would like to know what motivates you and make sure the post you're applying for is one that you're keen to make the best out of. They use this question to determine long-term commitment.

How Would You Describe Yourself?

Keep your reply to this question precise and interesting, don't try to beat around the bush, make your answer unique and direct. You can also try to relate your response to the job description.
​

Are There Any Inquiries About This Job That You Would Like to Make ?

This question signifies the end of your interview, but it's rather smart to have questions for the interviewer. Interviewers are always eager to hear the question you'll ask. They expect that the interviewee they will give the job will have logical questions to ask. Hence, prepare logical questions.

Final Advice about Job Interviews

You need to understand that interview nerves are common. If you find interviews uncomfortable and you feel nervous most times, try to conduct role-play interviews with friends and families, this will help build your confidence prior to the D-day (interview process). Good luck!
