The 40 Most Common Job Interview Questions
Embarking on a job interview journey can be daunting, but preparation is key. Below, we outline 40 of the most common interview questions to help you shine. Remember, your answers should highlight your strengths and key selling points. Also, walk into each interview ready with innovative ideas that show what you can bring to the role. As one HR manager puts it, this approach is "a great way to impress just about any employer."
Interview Tips
Tact and discretion are vital during interviews. Consider how to handle tricky questions such as, "What other companies are you considering?" Be honest, but avoid making other opportunities appear more enticing than the one at hand. Similarly, approach questions like "Why did you leave your last job?" or "What would you do differently if you were in charge of this company?" with diplomacy, minimizing negativity.
Remember, it’s your job to provide insight into your background and skills. Ultimately, every question is an opportunity to answer, "Why should we hire you?"
