There are only 3 Interview Questions you need to prepare for. 1. Have you got the skills, expertise, and experience to perform the job? Marr says to answer this one, you need to think about the key skills you might need for the job, and assess your own level of expertise and experience in that context. “It makes sense to identify the more specific or technical skills that your potential employer might expect as well as some more generic skills such as being a good communicator, having good IT skills, being a team player, etc.” He says preparing for this question will help you answer many other interview questions (without getting “sidetracked into talking about things that are not relevant”), such as: Tell me about yourself? What are your greatest strengths / weaknesses? What can you do for us that other candidates can’t? Why do you think you are right for this job? What do you think the main challenges will be? 2. Are you enthusiastic and interested in the job and the company? All hiring managers want to know that you are interested in the company and excited about the prospect of working there, Marr explains. “You therefore want to demonstrate that you have researched the company, understand its strategy, current performance, structure, market position, and products and that you can’t wait to join them.” Show the potential employer you’ve done your homework, and demonstrate your enthusiasm for the job and company. Here are other ways they’ll ask this question: What do you know about our company? What do you think our company is aiming to achieve? What do you know about our products and services? Why do you want to work for this company? Why do you think this job is right for you? What motivates you? 3. Will you fit into the team, culture, and company? “This final key question is about your personality and your style and how you as a person fit into the team and culture of the company,” Marr says. Every company has its own unique culture, and it’s important to both you and the employer that you fit in. Other questions that are essentially asking the same thing: How would you describe your work style? How would you describe yourself? How would your colleagues describe you? What makes you fit into our company? What makes you a good team member? If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
