Questions You Could Hear During a Job Interview
Preparing for a job interview is always going to carry some level of stress. To get yourself as prepared as possible, it’s important to know what questions to expect during your interview. This gives you the chance to rehearse your answers so you can present yourself the best way possible when you meet with your potential new employer. To prepare for your next job interview, here are some questions you can expect to hear.
“Can You Tell Us About Yourself?”
This is one of the most common questions you can expect to hear during a job interview. It will typically be one of the first questions as well, so answering this question properly will help to establish a strong first impression on your interviewer.
You’ll want to answer this question shortly and concisely (about 90 seconds at most). As for what to include in your answer, you should introduce yourself again, then discuss what relevant job experience you have that could make you a suitable candidate for the position. After all, any other job information won’t be relevant if it can’t be applied to the job you’re pursuing.
“What are Your Greatest Strengths?”
When a hiring manager asks what your strengths are, they’re asking about the strengths that pertain to the position in question. That’s why it’s best to avoid strengths that are not relevant for the job for which you’re applying.
Oftentimes, when you’re applying for jobs, you’ll see the qualities that employers want in their job applicants. Study up on these qualities, as these are the qualities that you’ll want to mention to your hiring manager during the job interview.
“Why Should We Hire You?”
When answering this question, it’s not just about saying why they should hire you; it’s about saying why they should hire you over somebody else. That means you should provide some unique qualities about yourself that separate you from other people. You still want to start out by mentioning skills that are relevant to the job. After that, though, mention some of the achievements you’ve made in the past that make you stand out.
