Most Common Interview Questions and How to Answer Them

A stellar resume gets you the interview, but your communication skills get you the job. Understanding the psychology behind standard interview questions is key.

'Tell me about yourself'

Do not recite your resume. Use the Present-Past-Future formula: what you are doing now, how your past experiences prepared you, and why you are excited for this specific future opportunity.

'What is your greatest weakness?'

Avoid cliché answers like 'I work too hard'. Be honest about a real weakness and, more importantly, discuss the actionable steps you are taking to overcome it.
