Some of the toughest interview questions to answer include:
- Why do you want to work here?
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
- What do you know about our company?
- How do you perform under stress?
- Where do you see yourself in five years?
- Why should we hire you?
Definitely practice answers to the above questions before any job interview, as these are also very common interview questions. Other tough interview questions include STAR questions, where you would be asked to describe a particular Situation, the Task at hand, the Action you took to resolve the situation, and then the Result of your action. Here are two examples of STAR questions:
- Can you describe a stressful situation in a previous job and how you handled it?
- Tell me about a time when you had a disagreement with a co-worker. How did you handle it?
You should do a lot of research on the company you are interviewing with so that you can answer any and all questions about the company (and how you could play a pivotal part in helping the company succeed). Check out the company's mission statement, and recent news stories about the company.
