Cards in this guide (12)
How did you hear about this job

Answer that by accurately describing how you found the employer. Saying you have no idea is a signal of a by-chance search. Say at least a few words about the network, application process and reason for that net.

Tell me about yourself.

This isn't a personal life question. This is about where you worked prior, what was your experience like there and what valuable skills you learnt. Please, be brief.

Why should we hire you

A direct link to the first card. It shows whether you understand what you have to do. Be honest, specific and relevant to that part of the interview.

What are your salary expectations

Don't say you have no idea. Estimate an approximate range to show your flexibility and that you've been researching. Don't expect to have a million dollars off the bat.

Why did you apply for this position

How do your values align with the company culture? Be specific. Don't say you're here just to get a job.

What is your greatest weakness

Be genuine and show them you know yourself. Avoid being cliché, though. Explain how you're working on improving.

What is your greatest strength

Alternatively, what skills can you apply best in the job? Talk about relevant ones. Again, avoid clichés and bragging.

What is your greatest accomplishment

Shows what is a goal for you. Mention those where you applied the aforementioned strengths. Be relevant.

Why do you want to work for us

Don't say "money". Talk about why the company is the ultimate choice for you. Shows your genuine interest and alignment with their values.

What motivates you

Shows them how you stay productive in the workplace. Align with their company culture. Be relevant to the job.

What is your dream job

What if you don't see yourself with them in 5 years? What if it doesn't align? What are your long-term prospects?

What makes you unique

For them. Mention qualities that you believe aren't seen in other candidates. Be authentic, but also relevant.
