Job interview - The most common questions

Job interview - The most common questions and how to answer them

1. So, tell me a little about yourself.

You don't need to describe everything from birth to present day. Say something about your education, your career and your current life.

2. Why are you looking for the job?

Don't say that you desperately need to earn some money. Say that you want to advance your career and get a position that allows you to grow as a personality and an employee.

3. Why did you leave you last job?

You want to advance your career and get a position that allows you to grow as a personality and an employee. :)

4. Tell me what you know about this company.

Try to find some information about the company at home.

5. Why do you want to work at X Company?

6. What experience do you have?

Maybe you will need a little creativity. People skills are people skills after all and you don't need to explain it to details.

7. How are you when you're working under pressure?

If you say you crumble like aged blue cheese, this is not going to help you

8. What motivates you to do a good job?

The answer is not money. You want recognition for a job well done.

9. What's your greatest strength?

If your greatest strength is to drink anyone under the table, keep it to yourself. You are a great motivator, you can focus on details, solve any problem, you are able to work under the pressure.

10. What's your biggest weakness?

You can try:

I'm perhaps too committed to my work and don't spend enough time with my family.

11. Let's talk about salary. What are you looking for?

This is a tricky question. Maybe it would be better to answer: right now, I'm more interested in what the position can offer my career.

12. Are you good at working in a team?

Unless you have the I.Q. of a houseplant, you'll always answer YES

13. Finally, do you have any questions to ask me?

How soon could I start, if you offer me the job?.
