Sample Interview Questions
This assignment will prepare you for your co-op workplace interview by reviewing typical interview questions. You may feel awkward talking about yourself and your accomplishments but that is the purpose of an interview. The interviewer has to see if you will be a good fit into their company – the smartest candidate does not always get the job!
This assignment is in 2 parts. You will open both the WORD and the PDF file on your screen side by side by adjusting the window size. Use the PDF file to guide your thought process through the questions. Type your answers in the WORD document than you can save and print or email to the co-op teacher. Here are some extra articles that give helpful tips and hints for a successful interview.

For some students this will be your first interview. The employer will know that you are nervous and at times will not know what to say. The best advice is to be confident, look people in the eye and speak up. Personal appearance also plays a large role in the interview process – you must dress for success. You will be wearing your school uniform but be sure you have washed, brushed and combed before the interview.
