The 10 Most Common Job Interview Questions

Reader Comments

Back to blog

I have had many opportunities for job interviews and many times I felt that I was less prepared, then what I should have been, even when I know I always had the motivation and drive to full fill the positions that I applied for. The position I am recently applying for is Training Specialist for the US Coast Guard and after reviewing your different ?'s asked by interviewers, it has put me in memory flash from the past and helped me to identify different scenarios to help me remember many different situations and help me to remember a lot of information that will be helpful to answer many questions many of these questions. Thank you!

Do you think that it is right for me to apply for another position at the same company, that I just had my third interview at, or do you think that I should wait until I get the job?

It is good to know the common questions that are going to be asked during an interview. It is also a good idea to learn the questions potential employers are not allowed to ask as well. Here's a good post that lists 8 Illegal Interview questions.

Great post,

The most important thing on your interview to be honest.That is better than to lie.Your employer will need to know are you for this job.

it is very certain that you need to be honest and fast with what u got to say because if u dont have an answer to say when asked can have u studerin and losing yourself just listen carefully to the question and answer it with all the mighty u have in u because they see the potential in u when u are abnswering a question..
