Tips from the Interviewers Side of the TableBasic Interview Questions:

Tell me about yourself. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Why do you want this job? Where would you like to be in your career five

years from now? What's your ideal company? What attracted you to this company? Why should we hire you? What did you like least about your last job? When were you most satisfied in your job? What can you do for us that other candidates can't? What were the responsibilities of your last position? Why are you leaving your present job? What do you know about this industry? What do you know about our company? Are you willing to relocate? Do you have any questions for me?



The Second Interview

Most likely they have established that you can do the job

It is about fit



What do you leave behind?

Paper?

Digital?

LinkedIn PDF?

Your Soul?

Some great examples
