typical questions often asked by companies

 

A common fear in interview is being asked a difficult question and your mind going blank. If this happens, the best advice would be to keep calm. Interviews are often structured in a particular way in order to assess the suitability of applicants. Therefore, some questions can often be anticipated, and if you have a general idea of what may be asked you can prepare a few ideas beforehand.

What do you know about our company?
What was the biggest challenge at your last job?
What immediate contributions can you make?
What was your most rewarding experience? Tell me about it.
Why do you want this job?
Tell me about yourself?
What motivates you?
What are your greatest strengths? Give examples.
Give me an example of when you overcame adversity?
How would your friends describe you?
What would you do if your current company counter-offered?
Are there any other opportunities outstanding at the moment?
