Commonly Asked & Some of the Toughest Questions During An Interview

There are some common questions that are inadvertently asked in almost all interviews. Though common, they are usually the toughest and most difficult questions to answer. Hence, job seekers must prepare themselves in advance to answer these predictable questions well.

Here are some of them:

What About The Future? - "Where do you see yourself 6 years from now?" - this is a futuristic question and the interview wants to test how ambitious and forward looking you are. Without going into too much details, you can talk about things that are important to you such as your realistic growth goals.

What About Salary? - When asked about your present salary expectations, it is good practice to

• ask what this position offers

• mention a salary range based on the industry standards, your current position and your last salary.

Why You? - The employer wants to know why you should be chosen out of all the candidates who are applying for the job. While answering this question try to be as honest and confident as you can. However, you must understand that there is a fine line between being confident and proud. Just make sure not to cross that line and all will be well. Prepare in advance and associate your positive traits with how you can prove to be beneficial for the Company.

Unexpected Questions - No matter how much you prepare in advance, there will always be a chance of being asked unexpected questions that you haven't previously thought about. In such a case, maintain your calm, understand fully the question being asked and take your time in answering it well.
