  1. Top 10 Common Interview Questions And Answers

  2. Tell Me About Yourself • Have something prepared that doesn't sound rehearsed. • It's not about you telling your life story and quite frankly, the interviewer just isn't interested. • Unless asked to do so, stick to your education, career and current situation.

  3. Why are you looking for another job? • If you are currently employed, you can say it's about developing your career and yourself as an individual. • If you were fired, you should have a solid explanation. • Whatever your circumstances, do not talk about the drama but remember to stay positive.

  4. What do you know about this organization? • Find out who the main players are—have they been in the news recently? • You're not expected to know every date and individual, but you need to have a solid understanding of the company as a whole.

  5. Why do you want this job? • You may want to say that you want to work for a company that is X, Y, Z, (market leader, innovator, provides a vital service, whatever it may be). • Put some thought into this beforehand, be specific and link the company's values and mission statement to your own goals and career plans.

  6. Who are our main competitors? • Think about a few and say how you think they compare (similarities and differences). • This is a good opportunity to highlight what you think are the company's key strengths.

  7. What would your previous co-workers say about you? • This is not the arena for full disclosure. • You want to stay positive and add a few specific statements or paraphrase. • Something like "Joe Blogs always mentioned how reliable and hard working I was" is enough.

  8. How do you handle stressful situations and working under pressure? • You want to give specific examples of stressful situations and how well you dealt with them. • You may also want to list a few tools you use to help you, such as to-do lists, etc. • It is alright to say that you will ask for assistance when the job is more than what you can handle.

  9. Are you applying for other jobs? • It is also a way of showing that you are in demand. • Be honest but don't go into too much detail; you don't want to spend a great deal of time on this. • If asked about names of who you have spoken to, it is absolutely legitimate to say you prefer not to disclose that information at this stage.

  10. What are you like working in a team? • You may want to mention what type of role you tend to adopt in a team, especially if you want to emphasize key skills such as leadership. • Be prepared to give specific examples in a very matter of fact sort of way.

  11. What sort of person do you not like to work with? • Even if you can immediately think of a long list of people who you don't like to work with, you could take some time to think and say that it's a difficult question as you have always gotten on fine with your colleagues.
