Do you know what the killer question is? Are you prepared to answer it during the interview? For some people, the killer question is “What is your weakness?” For others, it may be “How will you contribute to our company?” The point is that there is no one killer question;  all questions will be a challenge to answer if you are not prepared. Your ability to describe your skills during the interview will allow you to handle any question the interviewer asks you. The following list includes some of the most commonly asked interview questions:

Why don’t you tell me about yourself?

Why do you want to work for our company?

What do you know about our company?

What qualifies you for this position?

What are your strengths?

What are your weaknesses?

Have you ever had a conflict with a coworker? If so, how did you resolve it?

Why should we hire you?

Why are you seeking leave your current employment? (Why did you leave your last employer?

Do you have any questions?

The key to preparing yourself to ensure that you will be able to successfully answer each of these “killer” questions is to reflect on your experiences, identify the skills you’ve applied in those experiences, and market your relevant skills to the employer.
