Most interviews recycle the same 10 questions in different wording. Practicing strong answers for these covers ~80% of any first-round conversation.
The 10 most common questions
- Tell me about yourself
- Why are you leaving your current role?
- Why this company?
- What's your biggest weakness?
- Tell me about a time you failed
- Tell me about a time you handled a conflict
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
- What's your biggest accomplishment?
- Why should we hire you?
- Do you have any questions for us?
The STAR pattern that handles half of them
Situation, Task, Action, Result. For any behavioral question, set up the situation in one sentence, name your specific task, walk through the actions you took, and end on a measurable result. Practicing 3-4 STAR stories from your resume covers most behavioral interviews.
