There are many companies in China looking for applicants. But it is not such an easy thing. So people need some knowledge about how to answer the question, which the interviewer will ask. There are many questions that can be used at interview time in China, so you have to be completely ready to answer each of the questions confidently.

For your convenience, I've compiled a list of a few of the most common interviews asked by Chinese companies, and their relatively the best answers, so you must give them a review to better prepare yourself.

Q1. Tell us a little bit about yourself?

It is a good idea to give the interviewer a quick snapshot of who you are as a professional and as an individual, including your current job title and responsibilities, where you're from, what your professional goals are.

Be sure that your key message here is communicated in as brief a manner as possible. For example, asking open-ended questions during an interview helps you learn more about the company without directing the conversation too much. The main purpose of this question is to help the interviewer have a clear idea of who is going to work for them so they can determine if applicants will be able to meet their needs in terms of qualifications and personality fit.

Q2. What do you know about our company?

An interviewer wants to know whether you've done your research. The best way to answer this question is to say something like, "I'm very impressed with the work your company has done in the industry, and I've read several recent reports that have mentioned your organization." Then, if you can, mention specifics about either the company or its industry that show you're truly interested in what they do.

Q3. What are your strengths?

Here's where being prepared comes into play. Your prospective employer will be interviewing you across a variety of areas, including skills, fit with the team, culture, etc., so it's good to have a list ready of bullet points ahead of time for exactly what you want to tout as your greatest professional assets. If an interviewer asks you to elaborate (they likely will), be extra careful not to come across as arrogant. Try something like, "I'm very good with numbers and spreadsheets."

Q4. What are your weaknesses?

This is a tricky question because the interviewer wants to know what your greatest professional vulnerabilities might be. One way to answer this is by mentioning something that isn't that much of a weakness, like, "Sometimes I get too focused on the details when I need to step back and see the big picture." 

Q5. Where do you see yourself in five years?

Your interviewer is trying to gauge how well your goals and the company match up. It helps if you can pick a realistic role for yourself (and maybe even one that requires additional training or education), like "divisional assistant manager" instead of "president." If you're unemployed, be sure to let them know that this isn't by choice—that you left your last job because it was no longer a good fit.

Q6. Why are you interested in working for us?

This is similar to the question asked earlier about what attracted them to the company. Whatever answer you give should align with what your potential employer has told you about why they value their employees. Don't just say, "I'm interested in working for you" if they've told you nothing about themselves. Instead, show that you did your homework and tell them something relevant about their culture or history.

Q7. What would you do if another employee asked you to falsify information on their timesheet?

You must respond carefully to this question because the interviewer wants to hear that you have high ethical standards. You don't want to say that you'd report them, but it's a good idea to say something along the lines of, "That would depend on what they were asking me to do." The key is not sounding firm or aggressive but professional.

Q8. How do you handle a stressful situation?

This is your chance to set yourself apart from the other applicants and, hopefully, make the interviewer remember you. One good response is to say something like, "I usually take some deep breaths and ask for as much information as possible so I can stay calm and figure out what needs to be done." Of course, this depends on the type of job you're applying for—if it's sales or customer service, talk about how you can remain professional under pressure.

So, the above mentioned were some of the common questions, which job interviewers in Chinese firms ask. Make sure to prepare them perfectly. Hope things got clear and good luck with your future.
