Common Interview Questions
There are only so many questions that an interviewer can ask,
so you may want to prepare answers to the following. Remember your answers
are your opportunity to highlight your key skills and abilities.
Deliver them clearly and confidently and in an enthusiastic fashion, avoiding
unappealing "robotic" answers - many interviewers will be wary of stock or
obviously prepared responses, so will often throw in unexpected or follow on
queries, testing your ability to think on your feet. Answer these as
quickly as possible without appearing to dither.
Some standard interview questions are:
How much do you know about the job? What skills or experience do you have that make you right for the job? Why did you leave your last company?
(Note: Never appear vindictive or bitter about a former
employer when asked this question. This only serves to highlight you as a
petty or otherwise unprofessional individual. Constructive criticism is
considered appropriate, and if prompted you may explain any suggestions you may
have had to rectify the perceived problem.)
