Common Interview Questions
Every interview you attend involves an interviewer asking you many questions. A
lot of these are standard questions asked by most interviewers, part of the technique they use to determine
whether your job application goes to the next level, as it where.
Listed below are some of the more common questions used.
They may be worded differently when you are on the receiving end of them, but they are essentially the same.
Study them and determine your likely response. You need to be prepared.
If you take heed of these questions - commonly used by interviewers - you will have an
advantage over other applicants for the job you are after. You will also have time to prepare your answers so that
you don't get caught unawares.
