Interview questions for a temporary job

What questions will I be asked at an interview for a temporary job?

Prepare For Your Interview
Take the time to check out their website and find out more. This will help you to show some enthusiasm about the position – even if you’re just between jobs.

Ask yourself what they are looking for and what you have to offer

Temporary workers have to fit in quickly – so you may be asked more personal and direct questions unlike a full timer who will be expected to take time to settle. Here are some examples:

    Tell me about yourself and your background
    Why should I hire you?
    Describe your personality.
    What made you choose to apply to this position?
    What kind of people do you like to work with?

Questions to ask
As with any interview, you might want to think about asking some questions when the time comes.

For example:

    What exactly are the job responsibilities?
    How many working hours per week?
    What are the company’s expectations?

Make sure you understand when you start and where you should go on the first day. You should receive a contract stating the salary, the working hours, the notice period (the amount of warning you need to give the company if you decide to leave) and your entitlement to holidays. Normally tax will be deducted from your salary before you receive the money.
