Question To Ask At Interview: The Most Common Ones


Talking about job interview, you may remember an old saying "victory loves preparation". This saying means simple: if you want to be successful in most situations, then you need to be prepared well. Job interview is no exception. After a series of written test, you finally come to the most determining test called interview. Many applicants fail to pass this test but you can overcome it with some tricks. Learning the questions is one of the ways you can do to pass the interview. Of course, not all of interview questions you find on Internet or books will be asked during your interview session. However, there are common questions that usually interviewers always ask to the interviewee. Below are some of the examples:

1.Why are you interested in applying for this job?

This is considered as one of the most predictable questions in almost all interview sessions. The purpose of asking this question is to measure how far you have made a research about the company. The employer expects that you have obtained information about their company be it about their profile, achievements or the latest issues about them. To impress your prospective employer, try to mention some features of the company such as their public image, their increasing sales or their great human resource management.

2.How do you lead a team?

Many job positions involve people management. This position requires you to plan and organize the team in order to complete the task well. The interviewer needs to know your role in a group and our ability in focusing on targets and goals.

To answer this question well, try to describe a situation, your role and the overall task you need to complete. Make sure that you also mention problems that arouse and you how you handle them. Examples are always important to convince the interviewer so don't forget to give as many as examples on how you lead a team.

3.What are your weaknesses and strengths?

It's impossible that everyone doesn't have weaknesses. However, it doesn't mean that you can tell it honestly to the interviewers. A classic strategy is by telling a strength that sounds like a weakness for example "I'm an ambitious person" or "I'm a perfectionist person". This answer has been used many times by interviewee and the interviewer knows this trick. The best way to tell your weakness without making yourself look weak is by choosing a weakness that you are trying to improve. For example: "I'm a little bit forgetful but I try to overcome it by writing down the tasks I need to complete on a piece of a paper and stick it besides my computer. Now, I hardly miss the tasks I need to do with that help."


Remember that you are not suggested to deny your weaknesses. This will make the interviewer assume that you are arrogant.
