Here are 12 classic interview questions from one of my favorite books on interviewing – The Perfect Interview by John D. Drake.
- Tell me about yourself.
- What are your strengths?
- What are your major weaknesses or limitations?
- What are your financial requirements?
- Why are you leaving your present position?
- What are your career goals for the next five years?
- What kind of a position are you looking for?
- What was your most significant accomplishment in your last position?
- Doesn’t this job represent a step down from the level of work you’ve been doing?
- How would you describe your management style?
- Describe a time you failed.
- How would you approach this job?
