How Do You See Your Future Employee

[Nelson]

Since i don't have sufficient finances for my bussines development, i found myself pushed to work as an employee for another business.

I applied for a 4h/day - 5 days/week job at a company. Today they called and invited me for a face to face interview at their headquarters.

Next i will write down a small part of their hiring announcement:

"What do we expect from our new colleague ?
- seriosity and responsability
- willing for self-improvement
- proactivity and positive attitude
- long term collaboration
- involvment and perseverance"

Ok, i really agree with this and i don't like the idea of working in this company just for raising money. Experience and new friends are allways welcomed.

I posted this thread to ask business owners that have empployes or not, what they expect from a person that comes to a job interview. What they really seek. I'm really interested to find out everything. How should i behavefrom the first sight and impression, until the end of the interview. What employers really want to see at theyr future employee. I need key advice about how to express seriosity, responsability, willing for self-improvement....etc.

What question would you ask a potential employee?

Cheers!

That list of questions is fairly standard.

My questions:
1) What brings you here looking?
2) Will you do what you say?
3) If you make a promise, will you do everything within your power to ensure it gets fulfilled?
4) How do you handle office politics?
5) You will start at the bottom, do you have a problem with this?

I've got many more, but usually these weed out quite a few.
