Explanation:
Thankfully, hiring managers are often not the most creative people when it comes to thinking up questions, meaning there are a number of typical interview questions in their arsenals that get reused. This makes it easier to plan your answers, rid yourself of nerves and, therefore, help you to present yourself in a calm and effective manner.
Read on for some of the most common job interview questions, with advice on how you’ll be expected to answer.
"Tell me about yourself…"
One of the most common job interview questions, “tell me about yourself” is often the interviewer’s opening gambit to quickly find out what you’re all about.
Your answer shouldn’t be a simple recitation of your CV (which the interviewer has hopefully at least scanned already). Instead use this as an opportunity to make a quick pitch to sell yourself for the role, highlighting not only your primary selling points but also your personal approach to work and why you want to work in the industry. Briefly outline any relevant work experience from your current role, but of course don’t go into as much detail as you do on your CV, as you will probably be asked to go into further detail about these roles later.
However, be careful not to sell yourself too hard. This question is designed to find out what you’re like as a person, what your ambitions and interests are and why they relate to the role. Your answer should be short and concise (ideally one minute long), with a final sentence to summarize why you applied for the position and what you’re currently looking for (e.g. “a new challenge”).
