Common Interview Questions

(with what employers are really asking)

  • "Tell me about yourself." They want a 60-90 second summary of your relevant experience, not your life story.
  • "Why do you want to work here?" Shows if you've done your research and are genuinely interested, not just applying everywhere.
  • "What's your greatest weakness?" Best answered with a real weakness plus what you're actively doing about it.
  • "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" They're checking if your goals align with staying and growing at the company.
  • "Why are you leaving your current job?" Stay positive; never badmouth a former employer.
  • "What salary are you expecting?" Research typical ranges for the role/sector first (Browse Jobs salary listings on talent.gy can help here); give a range, not a single number.
