Do you like to work by yourself or with others?

"Do you like to work by yourself or with others?"

Even if you have a strong preference to work alone or with others, the best answer is to say both. Even if a job is mostly about working alone, there might be some team work involved. Most employers want someone who can work well in a team and work well alone.

"That's a tough question... I like the combination of the two. It's great working in teams while getting and sharing ideas with each other, but it's also nice to sit at your desk and work hard productively. I like to do both so it's hard to choose one over the other."

If they insist on choosing one, then choose the one that is relevant to the job you are interviewing for. Make sure you pause a little before saying so.

"If I had to choose just one, then... I'd probably choose to work alone."          

What do you like to do when you're not in the office?

"What do you like to do when you're not in the office?"

This is another question where they want to find out some of your hobbies. Basically, you can answer this question similar to how you would answer, what are your hobbies.

"When I'm not in the office, I like to play golf, read magazines, and spend time with my wife."

"Well, I like the piano so I have piano lessons on a weekly basis. I also like gardening, so I work on my yard a lot. But if I want to relax, I like to watch videos at night."

Something short and simple is the best answer. No need to elaborate on why.

 Would you like to have your boss's job?

"Would you like to have your boss's job?"

Unless you have a better answer, the best answer for this question is a yes. However, you should clearly state that you want to learn everything and eventually move into a similar position. Do not sound like you are a person who is going to steal the job, but rather someone who is going to work hard to earn the position.

Short Answers
