Class of 2015 graduates, pay attention. Homegirls feeling complacent at work, take heed. Glassdoor has compiled the 50 Most Common Interview Questions. As they put it, “one of the best ways to get ready for a job interview is to practice your responses to any and all interview questions.” Here are the top 10 questions you’ll probably come across at least during a phone interview:
- What are your strengths?
- What are your weaknesses?
- Why are you interested in working for [insert company name here]?
- Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten years?
- Why do you want to leave your current company?
- Why was there a gap in your employment between [insert date] and [insert date]?
- What can you offer us that someone else can not?
- What are three things your former manager would like you to improve on?
- Are you willing to relocate?
- Are you willing to travel?
So as you prepare to befriend Taleo and push those resumes out, start prepping yourself to answer these questions. And remember to have your own questions to ask too. You’ll be more prepared when you get that job interview. Good luck!
