“The 5 most frequent questions asked during an interview”
Following interview standards, every question is an opportunity to stand out from the competition.
Here are 5 frequently asked interview questions:
Tell me about yourself:
This is often the first question asked in an interview. Prepare a concise answer that highlights your skills and experience in a way that's relevant to the position you're applying for.
Why did you apply for this position?
Highlight your skills and explain how they match the job requirements. Show that you have researched the company and understood the job requirements which will translate into a genuine interest.
Tell me about a situation of which you are particularly proud:
Through a project that you consider a success, highlight your strengths, both behavioral and technical. This question offers a unique opportunity to show in concrete terms how you contributed to the success of an initiative.
Tell me about a particularly stressful or difficult situation you've had to deal with:
Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answer and highlight your problem-solving skills. The aim is to remain optimistic by highlighting the solutions you have implemented to overcome the difficulties or the lessons you have learned from the experience.
Do you have any questions?
The last part of the interview is often led by you. Therefore prepare relevant questions about the work environment, team organization and objectives. Not asking questions is often perceived as a lack of interest or preparation. You can also take advantage of this opportunity to understand the next steps of the selection process if your application is retained.
By mastering these answers, you'll position yourself as a prepared, motivated candidate capable of making a significant contribution to the company.
Good luck with your next interview!
