1. You are currently employed. Why do you want to change your job?
If you have disagreements with the management or other conflicts it is not necessary to parade them. At an interview about your superiors you need to respond well or neutrally. It is also better to leave your financial motivation behind the door and not complain about insufficient salaries, a large family and a mortgage. Your motives should be logical and understandable. For example, if you are a sales manager, then we can say that the company has a lack of resources, not enough goods, and this makes your professional growth impossible.
2. What were your biggest mistakes or failures at work?
There are no ideal employees; no one can always work without error. Therefore, if you say that you always handle everything, the interviewer will immediately feel the catch. This is rather not an answer, but a departure from it. It will also mean that you do not know how to evaluate the results of your work. You can say that serious mistakes were not made, but give examples of minor misconduct. For example, a small breakdown in the terms of the assignment, which did not entail consequences, but you learned from this lesson.
3. Why did the project in which you participated fail?
Explaining the failures by the illiteracy of the leadership, the state of the market, the economic situation in the country, the mistakes of colleagues, while remaining nothing to do with it, you risk looking like a person who prefers to evade responsibility and is unable to learn from mistakes. Again, everyone makes mistakes, and if you see only external factors in the causes of failure, you are unlikely to become a valuable employee. A good specialist should be able to admit their mistakes and draw conclusions from them.
4. What issues do you know best?
A true professional always knows his strengths. If you say that you carry out your duties well and are equally versed in all issues, it will look like avoiding the answer or not understanding the essence of the question. Prior to the interview, identify the areas of your activity in which you are as competent as possible.
5. Tell us about yourself
The main mistake will be to tell everything about yourself, starting from school, university and ending with the last place of work. Your complete autobiography may give the impression that you are not able to distinguish between the main and the secondary. Information that is important for the position you are applying for should be given. You can also check with the interviewer what he would like to know first.
