Uniqlo Interview Questions

What do you know about our company? You should always find out as much about the company as possible. If you know nothing about the company you are interviewing for then it looks as if you don’t care. As well as the product or service that they offer you should also find out about its culture and goals, its competitors and its position in the market.

How long do you want to work here? The way to answer this question is to avoid exact time frames. Try to give a more general response that does not commit you to a certain length of time. “I hope that it would be for a significant period”, or, “As long as we are both happy and achieving our goals”, are suitable answers.

What relevant experience do you have? Talk about a work-related experience that is specifically relevant to the job that you are applying for. At this point you shouldn’t talk about any experience that isn’t relevant. If you do not have experience in the field that you are interviewing for, then talk about your skills and qualifications.

What characteristics do you want your boss to have? Think about your previous bosses and their good qualities and come up with firm and positive examples of what made them successful managers. Answers should be direct and relatively short. Traits such as respect for colleagues, clear communication and accessibility are examples of what makes managers rewarding to work for.

Do you know anyone that works here? Sometimes companies have policies regarding hiring people that are related to current employees and you should be aware of company policies before you interview. Only mention a friend or acquaintance if you are sure that they are well thought of by the company. If you have doubts then it is better to say no.
