Question what are the basic questions that the interview asked
This may sound weird but hear me out. I have an interview coming up for a role that I have a strong suspicion is not a good fit for me. So I figure this is a good opportunity to try out some things that I’ve never been brave enough to do before. E.g. try to prioritize making personal connection over demonstrating the fit. I’m looking for more ideas though. Do you have any suggestions or questions that I can try? Happy to report back with results!
i have a second interview coming up soon for a job that's a perfect fit for me! this is my first time making it to a "second round" as most of my interviews are just screening calls or single rounds w/ no follow up. i don't recall getting asked any behavioral questions in the first interview, it was mainly just a vibe check and going over resume. this next one will be with my potential boss. i always ask smart questions and send thank you emails. if i've made it this far is that a good sign?
For a phone screen: tell me about your self, why are you looking, what is….(some behavior question), and salary and availability. Hiring manager team interviews: more behavioral, technical, and culture fit. Questions can be structured or unstructured dependent on the whim if the interviewer. Exe/Stakeholder level: questions to vet big picture thinking, goals, cross-functional collaboration, and what you bring to the org. This is my experience interviewing in tech.
- Tell me about yourself/walk me through your resume - Why are you leaving/why did you leave your last company? - Why do you want to work for this company? - Examples of successes and accomplishments - Examples of failures or difficulties... and how you handled them - Salary expectations
Tell me about yourself Have you ever had your work critiqued by a senior leader How would you handle specific situations What do you know about the company Why do you want to work here Do you prefer working alone or with a team How do you stay organized Name a book that you recently read Where do you see yourself in the future Tell me about a time you solved a problem (use STAR method here)
