we'll break down the most frequently ask
interview questions and understand why
they matter and how you can craft uh
compelling answers that showcase your
skills and personality so grab a pen in
a notebook first up we have the classic
tell me about yourself they want to get
a quick overview of who you are your
professional background and what brings
you to this interview this is an
open-ended question that allows them to
gauge your confidence your communication
skills and your ability to summarize
your experience so how do you answer it
effectively let's use a simple framework
called the present past future this will
help you structure your response in a
way that's clear concise and compelling
let's start with the present begin with
a brief overview of your current
position and responsibilities then
mention any recent accomplishments or
highlights that are relevant to the job
that you are applying for next move on
to the Past talk about your previous
rules and responsibilities that have
prepared you for this position focus on
key achievements and skills you've
developed while working in this roles
finally wrap up the future explain why
you're excited about this opportunity
and how it aligns with your career goals
let's have an example So currently I am
working as a marketing coordinator at
get hired company where I manage our
social media campaigns and coordinate
events recently I led a successful
product launch that increased our online
engagement by
40% before my current role I work at
Blues agency as a market assistant and
there I gained valuable experience in
content creation and analytics and I
spearheaded a campaign that resulted in
a 25% growth in our client base I'm
really excited about this opportunity at
123 Corporation because I've always
admired your Innovative approach to
marketing I'm eager to bring my
background in digital strategy to your
team and contribute to your continued
success remember keep your answers
concise ideally between 1 to 2 minutes
and tayor response to the job
description and Company highlighting the
most relevant parts of your background
keep practicing until it's perfect until
you sound natural but remember avoid
sounding to rehearsed next question
we're tackling can be a bit tricky what
are your strengths and weaknesses this
question is a favorite among
interviewers because it reveals a lot
about your self-awareness and honesty so
let's break down how to answer it
effectively first start with your
strengths this is your chance to to
highlight your skills and qualities that
make you the perfect fit for this job
but it is not just about listing all
your strengths you have to back them up
with examples don't give them or don't
give away 10 strengths instead focus
with two to three strengths that are
relevant to the rule that you are
applying for then provide specific
examples on how you've demonstrated this
strengths in your previous and current
rules now let's move on to weaknesses
this part can be challenging but it's
important to show that your s aware and
you're actively working on improving
yourself choose a witness that is
genuine of course and one that is not a
deal breaker to the role so for example
if you are applying for a Content writer
and you say that I'm not that good in
writing in English then that's
definitely a no no okay so choose
something that's okay and then explain
the methods that you are taking in order
to address it so one of my key strengths
is my ability to manage multiple
projects simultaneously in my current
role at get hired company I successfully
LED three major projects at once all
while maintaining high quality work and
meeting tight deadlines my
organizational skills and attention to
detail really helped me keep everything
on track and I'm also particularly
strong in data analysis in my previous
job I developed a new reporting system
that streamlined our data collection
process and improved our decision-making
efficiency by
20% when it comes to weakness sometimes
I can be too detail oriented which can
slow me down but I've been learning to
balance my attention to detail with the
need to meet deadlines by setting strict
time limits for each task this approach
has helped me maintain high standards
without sacrificing efficiency remember
the key to answering this question is
honesty and self-improvement for your
strengths choose qualities that are
relevant to the job description and
provide specific examples and then for
your weakness choose something that
you're actively working on and then
explain the steps that you're taking in
order to improve it and now a question
that usually catches people off guard
describe a challenging situation at work
and how you handled it this question is
assigned to assess your problem solving
skills and your resilience and how you
handle stress or pressure so let's talk
about how to craft a strong response for
this question the best way to structure
the answer to this question is by using
the star method star is in situation
task action and results this framework
will help you tell a clear and concise
story that will highlight your skills
and accomplishments first situation set
the stage by describing the context of
the challenge be very specific as to
what was happening and why it was a
challenge second task explain what was
your responsibility in that situation
what was expected of you third action
detail the actions you took to address
the challenge focus on the steps that
you personally took and why you chose
those actions finally results share the
outcome of your actions highlight the
positive results and what you've learned
from the experience a few months ago our
company Was preparing for a major
product launch when we discovered that a
key supplier had back out at the last
minute this meant that we were at risk
of missing our launch deadline as a
project manager I had to ensure that the
launch proceeded as planned finding a
new supplier quickly without
compromising quality or increasing cost
so I convened an emergency team meeting
to brainstorm Alternatives identify
potential new suppliers and I directly
negotiated terms I work with the
logistic teams to streamline the
onboarding process for the new supplier
and I provided daily updates to Senior
Management in the end we secured a new
supplier within a week and the launch
proceeded on schedule resulting in a 15%
sales increase that quarter this
experience highlighted the importance of
quick decision making and effective Ive
Communication in crisis situations using
the star method helps you provide a
structured and compelling answer that
showcases your problem solving skills
and how you handle challenging
situations at work and remember to keep
your story concise focus on your
contributions and highlight the positive
outcomes next question is what type of
work environment do you thrive in when
