8 Common Job Interview Questions and How to Answer Them

By: The Look Jobs Team

Most interviews follow a familiar pattern. Preparing your answers in advance is the best way to stay calm and sound confident.

1. Tell me about yourself. Keep it to about a minute: background, key experience and why this role fits you.
2. Why do you want to work here? Show that you researched the company.
3. What are your strengths? Pick two and give a real example of each.
4. What is your greatest weakness? Be honest and explain how you are working on it.
5. Tell me about a challenge you faced. Use the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action, Result.
6. Where do you see yourself in five years? Connect your goals to the role.
7. Why should we hire you? Sum up what you bring, including your language skills.
8. Do you have any questions for us? Always have one or two about the team or the day-to-day work.

Final tips

• Practice out loud and record yourself.
• If you don't understand a question, it's fine to ask: "Could you repeat that, please?"
• For video interviews, test your camera, mic and connection beforehand.
