Dis is really helpful, thnx a bunch

Op, well done for the effort. However, after looking at your answers to questions 1 and 2, I had to stop to do a quick review.

To question 1: please don't make the mistake of giving your family background! No one is interested in knowing what position you hold or what village you are from. If they are, they will ask specifically. Stick to divulging professional information. That is, educational background and previous work experiences.

Question 2: how do you start saying you are the one for the job when you weren't asked if you are, in the first place? The question is: what interests you about the job, not why should we hire you?.

Answer: talk about what you enjoy about the role. E.g. I find this position really interesting because it provides opportunities to be innovative, to take initiative and to apply my problem solving skills.

Good observation. Some of the answers are not necessary. In as much as you are answering questions, make sure you don't leave the reason for the interview- your potential job. Some questions may not be straight forward like this, which means you should be smart enough to decipher what the person(s) want. Don't forget you have to be bold and confident. Your responses to questions has up to 30% of your score (mostly oral interview). Congrats to the next employee!

Thanks so much for this wonderful piece. What if you are asked a question like "Are you romantic?" What would be your response
