Attending an interview for a job you really want can be a nerve wrecking experience especially if you are unprepared. Luckily, Jobsite have created a list of typical interview questions and best responses so you need worry no longer!

The Basics

1. Tell me about yourself

• Keep your answer to one or two minutes; don’t ramble.
• Do not go back to childhood experiences, just give a brief outline of where you are from and where you want to be going.
• Use your CV introduction as a starting base.
• Say only positive statements

2. What do you know about our company?

• Show that you have done your research. Know what their products are, how big the company is, roughly what their annual revenue is, what reputation it has within the industry and on the street. Know the company’s history, image, goal, and philosophy.
• Project an informed interest which allows the interviewer to tell you some more detailed aspects about the company.
