Top Job Interview Questions
Interview techniques are constantly evolving. Rather than asking those common questions that everyone expects—your interest in the job, your qualifications, your motivations—employers are getting more creative in the discovery process.
Many of the top job interview questions are either somewhat abstract, in order to find out how potential employees think, or are behavior-based.
Questions to Ask Employers
Interviewees often miss the opportunity to learn more about the position, the organization and the industry when they don’t have any questions to ask employers. Asking questions also demonstrates interest and initiative. Refer to our article by Carole Martin, entitled Do You Have any Questions, for some of the top job interview questions to ask employers.
Sample Interview Questions
Prepare for your interview by reviewing some of the sample interview questions provided in articles by Therese Droste — Don’t Get Thrown for a Loop, and Beat Interview Brainteasers by Thad Peterson.
