Jobs -> Common Interview Questions

It is very common when a job seeker is being bombarded with interview questions. When you (as a job seeker) do not know the answers or not prepared to such questions, the chance of getting a job is getting smaller. The best preparation you can do is to study the possible interview questions the interviewer may ask you.

Here is a list of the common interview questions.

Why did you apply to this job?
Why do you want to work in this company?
What do you know about this company/field/industry?
Have you tried this job before? Describe your experience regarding this job.
How can you help our company?
Describe your most difficult decision.
Tell me about yourself.
Give me 5 words that best describe you.
Describe to me an event where you worked under pressure.
Why did you leave your previous job?
What are your plans 5 years from now?
What is your best quality/characteristic?

The best preparation you can do is be aware of the questions the interviewer can ask you. Before any job interviews, make sure you have a list of common questions and some answers that best suit your situation.

In cases where you are caught unprepared, think before answering.

It is not true that the most qualified person gets the job. It is the one who scores high in the interviews. You need to make the interviewer feel that you are confident with your skills and you can express yourself well.

Always remember, If you FAIL to PREPARE, then PREPARE to FAIL.
