Most common interview questions with examples
Do you have any questions for us?
You’ll hear this question in every interview you will attend.
While there isn’t a right answer, there IS a wrong answer:
Nope, all good! Thanks, I’ll go show myself out.
Instead, with this question, you want to show your enthusiasm about the company. Imagine they’ve already hired you and you’re starting tomorrow – what would you like to know about them?
Keep in mind, though, that the questions shouldn’t be too easy (So, what does your company do?).
Other than showing the recruiter that you’re really interested in working for them, this is your opportunity to really find out more about the ins and outs of the place.
What are you looking for in a new position?
The easiest way to answer this question would be to simply say that you’re looking for whatever the company is offering.
I’m looking to further apply my machine learning skills that I developed during my 2+ years of work at Ford. There, I used to do programmatic ads model design.
Now, I’m looking for an opportunity to work on a larger scale project that involves setting up programmatic ads for audiences of more than 10 million people.
Are you considering other positions in other companies?
I have had two interviews during the past week with companies in X and Y industries.
However, as I’m very passionate about both your industry and the work you have done during the past several years, I am more inclined toward working for you, if everything works out.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Sometimes the honest answer to this is “Hopefully not doing this.” especially with entry-level jobs.
Don’t think the hiring manager doesn’t know it, though. There are diplomatic ways to go around it.
In general, the motivation behind this question is for the interviewer to assess whether you are an ambitious person or not and whether you have realistic expectations for your career.
As a start, I want to learn if accounting is the right field for me. While I loved what I studied at the university, I want to see if working in the field feels the same
