10 Common Job Interview Questions and Answers (Job Interviews in English)

Learn the right way to answer common job interview questions in English.
The key to a successful interview is preparation and knowing how to adapt your answers to any question. That means understanding what the interviewer is really asking and knowing alternative questions you might hear.
In this lesson, I share how to best answer questions such as:
1. Tell me about yourself
2. Why do you want this job
3. What do you know about our company
4. How would your supervisor describe you
5. Why are you leaving your current position
And much more.
Plus, you’ll learn other ways interviewers may ask these questions AND why they like to ask unexpected questions.

[@chunfajardo5506]

Hi Annemarie, thank you for your masterclass. I found it very useful. However, I am just an incoming college student and I am preparing for a college interview. I’m having trouble with how am I going to answer confidently those possible questions that will be going to ask to me. English isn’t my first language but I’m willing enough to learn. I’ve been watching your videos on KZbin and subscribed to your channel. I admire you a lot because you’re helping many students like me that had trouble and difficulties in the English language. I am looking for guides on exactly what to do and how to answer the possible college interview questions. I hope you can help me to reach my dream college and to be more steps ahead of my fellow applicants/candidates. Thank you so much and more power to you.

[@bompy84]

Great lesson! Thank you! One of the things that has made me succeed at interviews is answering at a relaxed pace and honestly as much as possible. Of course a well-nourished resume helps enormously, but speaking with humility and truthfully about yourself is a remarkable addition.

You're welcome. Identifying your strengths and learning how to talk about them in a job interview is one of the many in-depth topics in my Confident Jobs Interview Course. You can learn more about it on the website, www.speakconfidentenglish.com/confident-job-interview-course/

[@ileniaspitale8317]

Hi there Claudia, thank you so much for your support and contribution to the community. It is almost underestimated, but still very important what you do by letting us know how to behave and answer some important questions during our job interview. Especially when settled in non-native language. Tomorrow, is my turn to have a job interview in English. It could be the step-forward, and the greatest change in my life I actually need, as well. The question scaring me the most is “What do you think about family and children?” (In all its variations). How can we successfully answer this question? Thank you so much, Ilenia

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Hi Illenia, I wasn't sure if this question was addressed to me or someone else. I'm not sure who Claudia might be. As for the question of how to respond to, "What do you think about family and children?" I'd like to say that this question would not be appropriate in an English-speaking interview. This question is about someone's personal life. Is this a question you've encountered in job interviews?

[@ileniaspitale8317]

@@Speakconfidentenglish Oh my Gosh, I am so sorry. I must have read the name of someone who commented your video. Sorry for the misunderstanding. However, unfortunately YES. I was asked about my opinion with respect to family and children and, after having being honest and sincere about the matter, I didn't get the job neither a feedback.

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Hi Ilenia, I'm terribly sorry to hear you didn't get the job you interviewed for. And I'm quite shocked that someone asked this question in an interview. In the United States such a question would not be allowed. This is a very personal matter. As a result, if someone were to ask me that question in a job interview, I would ask how this was relevant to the job position and my qualifications.

[@santiagocastillo7585]

Hello. Annemarie, I will be in an interview during this week. It's going to be for a Supervisor position but the thing here is that I don't know if the interviewer is going to ask me some questions in English. Just let me tell You that at this point I'm still learning How to speak English. I'm on progress day to day and your videos are helping me a lot. Around me unfortunally I don't have enough Friends and Family members that can speak English. My question for you is : Is there any way to talk someone by phone maybe once a week ? Are there a channel ? Regards, Santiago Castillo.

[@angelitacampa320]

Thank you I have a job interview tomorrow and your information has been very helpful. I know I will not have this answered b4 my interview but I am sure I am not the only person who has this question. How do you answer a question of why do you want to leave your current job? or Why were you let go from your previous job? In my opinion I have good answers for both but I would like to hear from you because in all honesty, I would rather not have to answer these questions and lying is out of the question.

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Hello Angelita, first I wish you much success in your upcoming interview. Secondly, I provide in-depth answers to how to respond to these questions in my Confident Job Interviews course. As you note, lying is out of the question. It is best to be honest about why you're leaving or why you were let go. And to remain positive. Rather than disparage your current/previous company, focus on the results you achieved while there or what you learned.

[@rounnokmazumdar8401]

I'm first to like and comment on your channel

I was so regret to ask my direct about the salary when I was planning to apply one of positions opened up for internal employees.

[@AXNJXN1]

Though a great video, putting it INTO practice and sharing out some proposed actual ways to answer said questions, would have been more beneficial....Food for thought when creating content like this and I mean it with all due respect.

Nice video madam

[@madina4284]

I’m very bad at interviews. Now, I know why I struggle at interviews, and it is because I memorised the answers for the interview🙇🏽‍♀️

Sometimes it works..

[@leighmarsh2010]

Hello Annmarie I was on a job interview last week , one of the question I remember was , What project did I do in my last job , took me by surprise because I perform tasks on a daily , so what is the difference project and task?

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Hi Leigh, thanks for the question. There is an important difference. A task is a single piece of work to be done. For example, to send an email to a client. A project is made up of a series of tasks and milestones. For example, a project might be designing a new brand logo for a company. This project would require tasks such as designing a logo draft, editing the draft, sending it to the client, getting feedback, refining the logo, changing the color scheme, resubmitting to the client, etc. I hope this helps.

[@chiuwinghing]

In the end of the video and interview, there is a question about what question do I have. It is very stimulating such as someone asking you what weakness or problems happened in my history with the aims to insult or bully me to stimulate me to be unhappy or be crazy or angry to mindfulness. But When we all know the framework of the working with what specific or different from different other jobs, we may know what concerns are missing that you have not known. If you know much, you will win. If not, I will say I have no question. Is it really very bad? Always in a market, different companies and different department and people may like you and without necessary to be right and passed for all questions and without any worrying at all if not good in a interview if you choose the correct job adverstising with enough preparation in this informative society with AI or information pooling. As I graduated from the university in HK, I was only a bookworm without knowing all others except what learned from the books in Mathematics. Within the field of knowledge, I may know what the examination will question and what is missing to question. As to the interview questions at work, it brings me a lot of challenges and make me fail all the time. But your video can make me well organizing myself for these years of working. It is a good show and lesson honesty in a warm heartfully dialogue without necessary to any negativity with matching honesty to reflect the real society in darkness in some not valuable or mismatching company interview. Finally I have the idea that if you failed in a interview, it does not mean it is bad. And maybe you can find a correct company with your healthy life as like you can find Mr. Right or Mrs. Right for your remaining years and beautiful life without urgent and no failure at all in the world if you do not care when you do your best or affords valuably with only need one star to know you as everything enough. Go on and remember without losing your things by yourself and keep it up for later brillant moment waiting.
