Probably the most frequently asked question in any job interview is “Tell me about yours

The interviewer’s purpose in asking this question is to get information related to work and job openings. Some people make the mistake of taking this request literally and answering by giving their life history. In fact, the best points to focus on when answering this question are past work experience, education, and social activities. Of these three, work experience carries a lot more weight.

Another very common question that comes up in interviews is “Why do you want to work for this company？” If you don’t have an answer ready for this question, you are letting the interviewer know that you haven’t done much research about the company or the job you are interviewing for. Candidates who can give detailed answers about the perceived benefits of working for a particular company make a much better impression on interviewers.

Two other questions that many people find difficult in interviews are “What are your strengths？” and “What is your biggest weakness？”

People have a hard time answering the first question because it feels like boasting in some ways. But an interview has no time to be shy or modest! The second question poses a problem because the answer needs to be a weakness that sounds like a strength. A good tip to keep in mind is to mention how you are trying to improve.

Along with considering these common interview questions, it is also helpful to remember the questions that should not be asked during an interview. For instance, questions related to family, health, or religion are generally off limits in an interview. If you don’t feel comfortable giving such personal information, then simply don’t.

A final suggestion for preparing for an interview is to go into the interview with your own questions to ask. By asking the interviewer question about the company, you are showing interest and enthusiasm for the job.
