Frequently Asked Questions and Answers for Job Interviews in 2022
Question 1: Tell us about yourself?
One of the most common questions in an interview is “Tell us about yourself.” Actually, it is not even a question–it is an invitation. It is an opportunity to share with the interviewer whatever you think is important in their hiring decision.
More importantly, it is your chance to differentiate yourself from other candidates. In most cases, the standard questions offer the same opportunity.
Question 2: Where do you see yourself in five years?
In five years, you should have made a significant impact on the company’s bottom line. Think about how you can achieve this in the role you’re interviewing for. In technology careers, advancing your skills is important, too. You should be able to share what areas you want to strengthen in the near term.
Question 3: Why should we hire you?
You need to only share how you meet almost all the criteria they seek, and also have two to three additional abilities that they might not even know they need yet. They need to know you are a candidate who can not only meet their needs now but will also be valuable for where they want to go in the future.
Embrace that this question is an opportunity to emphasize your value and to demonstrate your knowledge as they work together to show how well you could do the job.
Question 4: Why do you want to work here?
Employers want to know you feel you can fit in at the company quickly. That means not only deliverables in the job description but also your fit with the company culture. You will likely have to do some homework to answer this one. You need to understand the reasons why others enjoy working there. Is it a great place to advance your skills, have great challenges to add to your resume, or will it allow you to grow as a professional?
If a hiring manager feels you’re just “telling them to want they want to hear,” but don’t mean it…well, the interview is over in their mind. They want to know this is not just a job and paycheck. They want to hear this is what you want to do and the best place to do it.
Question 5: What is your greatest strength/ greatest weakness?
Your greatest strength is something they need. Don’t choose something irrelevant to the job or the employer, like your skill in sudoku.
You have many strengths, but pick the one they need help with the most. Is it your expertise in a particular skill? Is it your ability to turn low-performing teams into high performers? Share something that makes them think they need to hire you…right now.
When you give a real answer, you are being genuine. You are admitting you have some growth opportunities and are not perfect. But you can include that you already have a plan to overcome this weakness through training or practice.
Question 6: When can you start?
Be careful about this question for a few reasons:
- It doesn’t mean that you “got the job.” They may be just checking to add that to their notes. You must keep your guard up until you are in your car and driving away from the interview.
- If you are currently employed, you should be honest about the start date and show professionalism. You should tell them you would have to discuss a transition with your current company to see if they require a two-week notice.
- If you can start right away, you certainly can say you’re able to start tomorrow. A sense of urgency and excitement about starting work at the new company is always a good thing.
Question 7: Why were you fired?
This is another danger zone. This is not the time for defending yourself with a long story about you being the victim.
If you made a mistake, you are going to have to try to minimize the severity of the situation. An argument with a boss could be described as a difference in opinion. Not following orders because your moral compass told you not to could be described as “taking the high road.”
Just be careful not to cast blame on others. Consider including a “silver lining.” Did you learn a lot from the experience and now possess knowledge that will mitigate the chances of this happening again?
