Top 10 Interview
Questions
Today we’re going to be counting down the top ten interview questions. Yep, these questions are the ones you’re going to face the most, so you definitely need to know how to answer them properly.
So let’s get started with question number one
First
The number one interview question that’s most commonly asked is, tell me about yourself.
For this question don’t talk about your personal life. Highlight your strengths by talking about specific past work experiences
Second
The second most commonly asked question is, why should we hire you?
Now remember with this question you need to be specific and highlight a strength that’s in line with what the company or organizations is specifically looking for.
Third
Number three, what is your greatest strength?
Be specific and tell a brief work related example of you exhibiting that strength. And again pick an example of that strength that is based on your knowledge of what they are specifically looking for.
Fourth
Number four on the list is, what is your greatest weakness?
The three things to remember when answering this question is to be honest, show that you’re taking the steps to conquer the weakness, and most importantly don’t mention a weakness with the skills or abilities that are essential to the job you’re interviewing for.
Fifth
Number five, why do you want to work here?
For this question be specific and mention aspects of the company or organization that you admire and show how your strengths and abilities make you a perfect fit
Sixth
Question number six on the list is, why did you leave your last job?
Now if you left voluntarily then reference a specific characteristic that the company is interviewing for has that you’re attracted to. Obviously one that your previous employer didn’t have.
Now if you were let go, be honest and explain the situation in our own it. Explain what you learned from the experience because the interviewer knows your human, you make mistakes, and just wants to see that you were able to do something about it.
Seventh
Number seven what is your greatest accomplishment?
For this question be specific and talk about a past work accomplishment make sure you pick an accomplishment that shows how valuable you will be in the position you’re interviewing for.
Eighth
Question number eight is describe a difficult work situation and what you did to overcome it.
Again the key is to be specific. Bring up a pass work situation that you handled well and try and pick an example that shows you tackling a problem that could arise of the new company you are interviewing for. This will help show your value.
Ninth
Number nine where do you see yourself in five years?
Your answer should show that your personal direction and that you have goals.
You should show that these goals include you advancing in the
company organization that you’re interviewing with. But don’t overdo it.
If you’re going for an entry-level job don’t say you plan to be CEO in five years; it’ll seem unrealistic it could take you out of the running.
Tenth
Last but not least question ten is, do you have any questions for me?
The interviewer is asking if you have me questions to ask, and you should be saying yes every single time this will be a chance to demonstrate you’ve done your research on the company so try to focus your questions on topics that your company puts high value in.
