Q1. TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF (ANSWER OPTION #1)

SUGGESTED ANSWER:

β€œThank you for inviting me to be interviewed for this position today. My name is [insert name] and before applying for this job I read a copy of the job description carefully to make sure I not only had the relevant skills and qualities to match but to make sure I could contribute positively to your team. I am a diligent and industrious person who has a diverse set of skills that will add value to your company. I am an excellent communicator; I take ownership of difficult challenges, and I always seek ways to help my team improve. For example, in my last role, I was concerned about how much we were wasting office supplies. I came up with an idea to streamline their use and to make sure we only ordered them when necessary. My idea helped save the company $1,000 a year. I am a positive person who always sees opportunity in every difficult challenge. If you choose me you will get someone who has a can-do attitude, who will be a great role model for your company, and who will always embrace change positively.”

What Are The Top 10 Most Common Interview Questions?


The top 10 most common interview questions that get asked during virtually all job interviews are as follows:

  • TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF
  • WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST WEAKNESS?
  • WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS?
  • WHAT CAN YOU BRING TO THE ROLE?
  • WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 5 YEARS?
  • WHY DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE YOUR JOB?
  • WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK FOR US?
  • WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU?
  • WHAT ARE YOUR SALARY EXPECTATIONS?
  • DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US?

Your answers to these 10 questions should be the basis of your pre-interview preparation. If you fail to answer any of these interview questions confidently and positively, you are not going to get hired. Your answers to each of the above 10 common interview questions say a lot about your personality, your values, your work ethic, your motivations for wanting the job you have applied for, and your reasons for wanting to work for their company.

TIPS FOR ANSWERING THE TOP 10 COMMON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Before you download Richard McMunn’s TOP 35 EXAMPLE ANSWERS to all 10 common interview questions, read the following tips carefully; they will help you to construct outstanding, top-scoring answers that are guaranteed to impress the hiring manager.

INTERVIEW QUESTION #1 – TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF

TIP: It is imperative you get your job interview off to a positive start. Practice your answer to this common interview question several times before your interview. When answering the question, talk about the skills and qualities you have, any relevant experience you possess, one example of a significant achievement you have gained in your life, and what you will do in the role when they hire you.Β 

INTERVIEW QUESTION #2 – WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST WEAKNESS?

TIP: Do not, under any circumstances give a weakness that matches anything listed on the job description. Choose one weakness that shows you are keen to improve and you are self-aware.

INTERVIEW QUESTION #3 – WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS?

TIP: Out of all the 10 common interview questions, this is by far the easiest to answer. Choose several strengths that match the job description but be prepared to back up your claims with evidence of where you have demonstrated the strength either in a previous role or in your personal life.

INTERVIEW QUESTION #4 – WHAT CAN YOU BRING TO THE ROLE?

TIP: This question is assessing what makes you unique. Think of something you can bring to the role that will add value to their organization. Perhaps you can bring experience or knowledge in an area that will help increase sales, you can help the company save money, or even your speed of working means you can do twice as much as the average person!

INTERVIEW QUESTION #5 – WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 5 YEARS?

TIP: There really is only one way to answer this common interview question, Do not say you plan to have moved on in five years! If you do, you won’t get the job. In your answer, demonstrate you are driven, ambitious, and determined to succeed.

INTERVIEW QUESTION #6 – WHY DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE YOUR JOB?

TIP: Do not say you want to leave your job because you didn’t like the direction the company was heading, you didn’t get on with your co-workers, or the pay was not enough!Β 

INTERVIEW QUESTION #7 – WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK FOR US?

TIP: This common interview question is assessing one thing, and one thing only: whether you have researched their company! If you carry out no research into the organization you want to work for, you won’t get hired.

INTERVIEW QUESTION #8 – WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU?

TIP: This is your opportunity to SELL YOURSELF! Choose 4 reasons why they should hire you. Tell the interviewer you are commercially aware and you want to add value to the role. Not sure what commercially aware means? Download the answers below to find out!Β 

INTERVIEW QUESTION #9 – WHAT ARE YOUR SALARY EXPECTATIONS?

TIP: This is most definitely one of the toughest interview questions to answer. It is vital you give the reasons why you think you are worthy of your desired salary. Download Richard McMunn’s β€˜ready-made’ answers below to get the perfect salary expectations answer templates!

INTERVIEW QUESTION #10 – DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US?

TIP: Most candidates do not ask any questions at the end of their interview – this is a mistake. Asking questions is your chance to show the interviewer you care about their organization, and you want them to succeed! Ask 3 questions that demonstrate you are a smart, caring, and committed employee.
