General Job Interview Questions and Answers
Interview Question 1: Tell Me About Yourself
You really don’t have to sound like it’s your cousin that is answering this question for you. You can’t be boring when talking about yourself.
You have these four areas to cover: early years (pass by them quickly) then go to education, then internship/employment history, and then go to your most recent job and focus there.
This question usually comes up in the beginning as an introduction. So make it quick, direct, and very much short.
Interview Question 2: Why did you Leave Your Last Job?
Whatever you say, don’t say bad things about your former boss, manager, or coworkers.
It is not for fear of them knowing; it is because, even if they were that horrible, it shows you take things too personally and have a hard time letting go.
Interview Question 3: Why Should I Hire You?
This question is secretly about the job description. All you need to do is tie in the job description (do your homework) with your actual skills and knowledge which makes it critical for you to be chosen.
Use experiences in college, internships or past jobs to show how these skills were critical in your tasks back then.
Interview Question 4: I am Seeing a Gap in your Resume
It is not a secret if you got fired or couldn’t find a suitable job after you quit the last one. Unemployment exists and your recruiter knows about it.
Be honest, say you spent that time productively caring for your family, reading, taking online courses or even working freelance.
Interview Question 5: Explain Your Job Description to a 7-Year-Old
This one is really tough only if you are not that good at what you do.
All you have to do is use simple terms to explain something probably very complicated.
Why? Because if you are as good as you say you are in your resume, then you know the field inside out and can explain it without buzzwords or difficult terms.
