Top 20 Interview Questions And How To Answer Them by Triumphantboy: 3:01am On Jul 02, 2022
Are you confused on how to answer some interview questions? Well, you have the answer here! I have made a detailed list of all the interview questions you may come across.
What are some of the interview questions?
Below is a list of 20 common job interview questions, along with answering techniques that will help you dazzle your prospects, and hopefully, secure the role you want.

1. COULD YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF AND DESCRIBE YOUR BACKGROUND IN BRIEF?
Most interviewers like to hear stories about candidates, make sure your story has a great beginning, a diverting middle, and an end that makes the interviewer root for you to win the job. Talk about a relevant incident that made you keen on the profession you are pursuing and follow up by discussing your education. In the story, weave together how your academic training and your passion for the subject or industry the company specializes in, combined with your work experience, make you a great fit for the job. If you’ve managed a complex project or worked on an exciting, offbeat design, state it too.

2. HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS POSITION?
Employers want to know whether you are actively seeking out their company, heard of the role from a recruiter, or were recommended to the position by a current employee. In short, they want to know how you got to them. If someone recommended you for the position, be sure to say their name. don’t assume that the interviewer already knows about your referral. You’ll probably want to also follow up with how you know the person who referred you. If you sought out the role yourself, be clear about what caught your eye, it will be extra bonus points if you can align your values with the company and their mission. You want to convince the hiring manager that you chose their company, over all other companies, for a few specific reasons.



3. WHAT TYPE OF WORK ENVIRONMENT DO YOU PREFER?
Be sure to do your homework on the organization and its culture before the interview. Your research will save you here. Your preferred environment should closely align to the company’s workplace culture (and if it doesn’t, it may not be the right fit for you). If the interviewer tells you something about the company that you didn’t uncover in your research, like, “our culture appears buttoned-up from the outside, but in reality, it’s a really laid-back community with little competition among employees,” try to describe an experience you’ve had that dovetails with that. Your goal is to share how your work ethic matches that of the organization’s.

4. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH PRESSURE OR STRESSFUL SITUATIONS?
The employer wants to know: Do you hold down the fort or crumble under pressure? They want to make sure that you won’t have a meltdown when the pressure becomes intense and deadlines are looming. The ability to stay calm under pressure is a highly prized talent. Share an instance when you remained calm despite the turmoil. If it’s a skill you’re developing, acknowledge that and include the steps you’re taking to respond better to pressure in the future. For example, you could indicate that you’ve started a mindfulness practice to help you better deal with stress
