Cheat sheet to the most commonly asked interview questions!
Tell me a little about yourself? (2 or 3 big accomplishments and tie to why you're a great fit for this role)
How did you hear about the company? (name drop! Why you were so excited about company?)
What do you know about the company? (don't care if you know the mission, want to know why you care about it. “I’m personally drawn to this mission because…” or “I really believe in this approach because…”)
Why do you want the job? (start with why a great fit then onto why you love the company)
Why should we hire you? (show can do work, deliver results, fit in with culture)
Greatest professional strength? (give examples! For example, dedication to continuous learning and improvement could be shown by the professional magazine you read or extra courses you’re taking)
Greatest weakness? (something you struggled with and trying to improve. For example, if it is public speaking, mention you seeking opportunities to perform or present in class)
Challenge and overcame it. (task: mine is WIB founding. Situation: No funding, extremely slow, wait or be proactive. Action: Wasn't allowed to advertise so I did it by word of mouth, hand baked cookies, invited one by one on facebook, handed out flyers. Results: all of you!)
Dream Job? (this job!)
Example of teamwork (consulting cup, sports team, club boards, etc.)
