NATURALLY SPEAKING

These are the most common questions asked in a normal interview with some ideas of how to prepare an answer:-

Tell me about yourself.

This does not mean "Give me your life story". It's your chance to give an overall impression of who you are. Research the company to get an idea of the skills and experience they're looking for, work those into your response. Make sure you concentrate on who you are, your work experience, and relate everything to show that you would be a great candidate for the position.

What were your main responsibilities in your last job?

Be specific and positive about what you did in your current / previous job. Try to relate them to the job you are being interviewed for.

What is your biggest accomplishment?

Give an example that relates to the job you are interviewing for.

What are your greatest strengths / weaknesses?

Your ability to work well under pressure, prioritizing skills, problem-solving skills, professional expertise, leadership skills, team spirit. Be prepared to give real life examples.

Be honest about a specific weakness, but show what you are doing to overcome it.

Why do you want to work for this company?

Be positive. Research the organization and relate what they offer to your long-term ambitions.

Why do you want to leave your current job?
Or
Why did you leave your last job?

Never say anything bad about your previous employers. Think about leaving for a positive reason.

When can you start?

Straight away.

I need to give x weeks notice.

Do you have any questions?

Yes. Prepare several questions before the interview. You could ask about career / development / training opportunities. Be sure to ask when they'll make their decision.
