How to answer 10

common interview
questions.

Top tips with me, Caileen!


We've all left an
interview regretting
our answers.

Well, most of us have.


Use this guide so you
nail the next one.
1

Tell me about yourself


This is not an opportunity to tell your life story.

The interviewer wants to hear about your


experiences that are relevant to the job you’re
applying for.
2

Why are you


leaving your job?
This is often a test of your attitude.

Keep it positive, providing one or two reasons


why the role you're applying for is a step in the
right direction for you.

For example: "seeking a career change or


looking for further career growth".
3

What are your salary


expectations?
Employers will always ask this question
because every position is budgeted.

You can either use salary guides like


www.whatsmyworth or discuss this with your
recruiter.

But remember, it’s better to discuss a salary


range than a specific number to leave room for
negotiation.
4

Why have you chosen


this company?
Look up the company & understand what
makes them tick.

- Read their 'About' page,


- Look up their social media pages and
- Google them

Pick out 2 to 3 interesting points that resonate


with you.
5

What are
your strengths?
This is your chance to talk about what would
make you an asset to the team.

Relate your answer to the job description,


giving 1 or 2 key strengths that would serve you
well in the role.
6

What are your


weaknesses?
The interviewer is gauging your self-awareness
and honesty.

Give a real weakness, not just a strength


disguised as a weakness and be sure to explain
how you're actively working to address it.
7

How do you handle


stressful situations?
It's okay to get stressed - everyone does
at some point.

Talk about 1 or 2 ways you manage stress


& include a time when you overcame a
stressful situation.
8

Tell me about a time


you failed
They want to know the types of failures you've
faced, your honesty about them & how you
handle these situations.

Provide 1 or 2 examples & explain what you


learnt from them.
9

Why should we
hire you?
Your answer should cover 3 things.

- Your ability to do the work & deliver results


- How you'll fit in with the team & culture
- Why you're different from other candidates

Congrats, you now have your elevator pitch!


10

Do you have any


questions for me?
Have questions ready.

Think of it as an opportunity to find out whether


the job is the right fit for you.

For example: "What are the opportunities for


growth in this role?"
