Top 10 Most Common Job Interview Questions ANSWERED

[@michael30736]

4:38 my weakness is that I don't interview well. Once I have the position I don't have a problem communicating. It just the interview process that gives me anxiety.

[@spartyontop]

Me too, I know I can do the job. I just suck at interviewing.

[@mocheese2k]

My exact issue as well. There is no poorer intellectual space than my own stream of consciousness when Talking about myself

[@tuneshiaroach7393]

me too

[@TheAcenightcreeper]

That shows the employer that you cant work in unfamilar conditions under pressure, if you cant get into a room full of strangers and discuss your background, how are you going to do that while on the job, discussing more complex ideas of which you may have limited familiarity…

[@stefaniemartinez7777]

I have an interview tomorrow that I’m dreading. I have such a hard time interviewing bad anxiety. I forget about everything I’m gonna say, start stuttering, sweating it’s bad I can show you better than I can tell you.

[@KristiHinsch]

I used your question in my high leadership interview: "Is there anything you see on my resume preventing me from being considered for this job?" The executive leadership panel looked shocked, stumbled on their words, and stated that it was the best question they had ever heard from all their interviews. They finally responded, I countered and sold myself, and within 4 hours I was called and offered the job! You are right, this question sealed the deal, I think! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@RobinH-us4vs]

That was an awesome question. Congratulations on your new job! I just screenshot your question to my list of things to say in my upcoming interview.

[@triciajuliano9666]

I replied to the weakness question with "pizza" once and the panel laughed so hard. And moved to the next question. Got the job.

[@fraidnotsfortunatefew282]

I love this - hilarious!

[@Aritul]

Nice!

[@charleneradyn333]

I'm planning on giving my kids' names 😂 but then adding that they're grown up now, so my latest weakness is chocolate and fear of heights

[@letoyachantelle2229]

😂😂 that’s hilarious!

[@suzbone]

4:46 "I have a lot of ideas and opinions, so when asked for group input in meetings I have the urge to want to jump right in with what I’ve got. I learned a while back that 1. Some folks take a little longer to process a question, 2. People can be quite put-off by someone who always pipes up first up with ideas, and 3. Not every opinion needs to be heard. I’ve learned to give others space to give their input first, before I give my own every time." OMG did I need to hear that, interview or not. I'll be interviewing soon, and not only is this a great answer, it's an EXCELLENT reminder for me personally about something I already struggle with. Thank you for quantifying it the way you have. I've worked in places where that didn't happen and others where it did, but thinking about it the way you've put it here gives me the "structure" I need to act right and not become perceived as a know-it-all. Certain people can seriously hurt you if they have a grudge against you.

[@1988jbk]

I don't like that answer of hers. Why? Because she said earlier not to turn strengths into "weaknesses" also not humble brag when asked a weakness question, but that answer she gave is that she's doing all that by saying she has a lot of ideas and opinions but somehow turned into a weakness 🙄🙄

[@KimSodetani]

I just stumbled on your videos, as I couldn’t relate to the shouting man, or a woman from the UK. You’re so relatable to me and deliver information I need for a big interview on Monday. I’ll now be looking at additional videos. Thank you so much!

[@blush.pumpkins]

this video helped me get my job!! tip: study the job description and focus on how your experience directly relates and transferable skills. I finally got a job after months of interviewing! Thank you for your videos :)

[@awesomedavid2012]

My problem with interviews is that it feels like a manipulation game from both sides. As an interviewee, I have no interest in constructing some narrative around my life so I can easily answer tired questions. I especially don't want to feel like I'm walking on a land mine having to choose my language. I'd rather be as honest as possible and not get the job.

[@rachelbrenner4092]

I had the same feelings, but it is a game and we need to play it. The problem is we may not have the rule book. The best thing is to take charge at the beginning, begin with small talk, or point out some cool thing in their office. My goal is always to try to keep the conversation going or build rapport, it gets me the job offer more often than not. The more rapport you have the more it doesn't feel like an interview, but an actual conversation. And also remember, "It's nothing personal, it's just business."

[@Q1209pc]

An interview panel recently asked me "what are your pet peeves"? Thought it was so left field and outdated.

[@montsergirl]

What did you end up saying?

[@ilTHfeaa]

i have an interview on wednesday and if my interviewer decides to randomly ask this i would probably say my biggest pet peeve is bad communication.. which is so true but also a good answer for a job interview

[@tns4358]

Lazy people! ;)

[@Maria46823]

I was going to say when I just hit my little toe on something or if I step in water WITH SOCKS

[@sarahjane4908]

I was asked, “What are your triggers?” 😬 I asked around later and found out that interviewer was known for having a massive temper.

[@ebonysims9690]

Thank you so much for your videos. I was able to use these videos to dust off my skills and land a job after months of searching. Salary negotiation helped me not get low balled. You are truly amazing.

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

You're very welcome!

[@sarahjane4908]

Aww I hope this is me soon

[@meregreg]

I soaked up all your videos and got the job!! Thank you so much!

[@AriBrown-tv3pz]

Thanks I recently had an interview and was asked the same ten question you explained. I will definitely be ready for my up coming interview after watching your video.

[@meanyapickles]

I GOT THE JOB!! Aaaah! Thank you Cass for all the excellent advice, you're a lifesaver.

[@SamaratYar]

Good advices here 👍and I'll add "be yourself" and you'll most likely get the job! Remember, whatever you say in an interview you'll have to commit to it when you've actually got the job, so be careful not to exagorate and cross that fine line between "confidence" and "lying"!

[@bsluxeplusaustralia378]

Brilliant!!! Thank you!!! This covers everything. Finally, a video that wasn't just about one or two topics of an interview. 🎉 👌

[@cocolade99marmie]

I’m going for an interview on Tuesday, I will update you on the outcome with an honest answer. I am 54 and only do menial jobs so really not hopeful because ageism is rife in Britain!

[@kendillydoll]

How did the interview go??

[@miguelsanchez272]

?

[@S5Dic09]

rip

[@tee228]

its sad that even menial jobs nowadays require you to answer questions as if you're trying to work at NASA. we're just trying to put things in boxes or peel something for 8 hours, its not that deep EMPLOYERS!!

[@KevinAPamwar]

Thanks... it was really helpful Some companies follow SAO modeling instead of STAR. It is basically the same Situation - outline a specific situation. Action - describe the actions you took in response to that situation. Outcome - describe the outcome or result.

[@jax4094]

im abt to have my first job interview, and its today😥 ive took so many notes and will update how it went later today 🙏

[@KazuhaKaedehara-yr9nf]

Omg same. Mine is today too.

[@totallynotgad]

hope it went well for you :D

[@sarahtruax9144]

What if you honestly cannot think of a situation to answer a question? For example, I have never had to deal with a conflict with a coworker. There have been times when personalities differ but it never got to a point where I'd call it a conflict.

[@Blvchmist8]

Make something up!

[@sabrinapina3677]

You just explain what you WOULD do in the situation they’re asking about! It’s okay, they only want to know that part of it

[@lorenagonzalez6340]

Thank you, thank you for not asking yourself a question and then answering it (like the others), i loved how you walked through the questions with explanations and you started the video right to the topic and not 2 minutes of how we can promote you. I'm now a loyal follower.

[@__R___]

they ask similar questions so you get confused you don't wanna be repetitive!

[@maameyaaabrafiawuah8547]

Thanks for these tips. They are so helpful.

[@RadRavioli]

I think you may have just helped me land my dream job!! Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@mamavibetribe8878]

I feel like this is very dependent on the recruitment process. Having interviewed within the same company for years with the managers in charge of various departments (and interviewing candidates myself), I can tell you they don't know what answers to expect. HR might give a list of questions but your overall attitude and demeanour is relevant

[@dwightbaker7066]

This is such a great and informative video! I'm grateful for you and your time. I feel like I am more prepared for my interview! Thank you for your expertise! 😊

[@Asclepias7]

Thank you! I had my interview yesterday with Dept. of Education - almost none of the questions I practiced were what they asked me ha! But I still felt prepared going into it

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

Isn't it weird how it still helps even if its not the same questions?

[@aubreyriddick]

This video was super helpful. I love how you were direct and gave examples of how to answer that could apply to every job. I’m interviewing to be an ambassador, I have a good feeling it will go well thanks to you!

[@vOnZ-69]

How did your interview go?

[@xiomaracuerodaza5930]

English is not my first language, so I get a little big nervous about having to change jobs, but, i know that I must pay the price for what I want, ✌️

[@BeWriteThere]

[@theemikewilk2735]

Had an interviewer ask how i could grow a role as her first question. This was a brand new role with limited job description 😢

[@happymonkeycat]

I have severe anxiety and I had an interview today. The interviewer threw out "what's an atom?" and I completely blanked

[@Bloodyfknprincess]

These are great tips! I have all the charisma and confidence in interviews but after hearing your answers I'm definitely failing every question they're asking me in interviews. Have an interview later today hope I do well.

[@mrs.dontmindme6542]

How did it go?

@@mrs.dontmindme6542 that interview went terrible I did however get the job but then was sent a very sketchy contract in which I declined and then ended up getting a call for a job I interviewed for a month prior and took that job.

Thanks for your videos! I went in today and he didn’t ask any of those questions it was actually nice.. I’m pretty sure I failed because I had to tell them if I’m allergic to dogs cause the owner brings his in.. well I am.. so kind of a bummer, other than that I nailed the qualifications, but off to the next job search.

[@nicolebrady9626]

I have a job for merchandising. So for weakness is public speaking in front of 100s of people good.?

[@alytaylor1364]

Thank you sooo very much case for making this very helpful video! I have an interview today with a company that is potentially a huge step in my career path as well as financial stability , and I have been struggling in my interviews mostly due to anxiety! But you have simplified everything for me and also my recent interview I had and failed entirely! ; I was asked what is my weakness and also what is my 5 year goal plan. I unfortunately over explained myself and went off subject 🤦🏼‍♀️ so I am super thankful for your advice and I plan on using these strategies in my interview today! Your great! Keep up with what you’re doing!

[@spartyontop]

I feel your pain, I broke out into a horrible sweat once the HR Manager started asking me scenario questions with a grading scale. I completely lost it and started yammering and flubbed the entire interview. Have another one Thursday so I'm trying to prepare myself. Good luck to you btw!!!

4:06 "We all see thru that NOW" This can give you a clue that interviewing is more about tricking the interviewer until this trick gets exposed, and then you gotta find a less common one. Such a meaningless bubble, but we gotta do it.

[@kcbob8004]

I feel like interviewers should scrutinize a candidates work history, but should also equally scrutinize their previous employer/company. Sometimes you have a great candidate who has had a few jobs just not work out because of awful employers. If the company they previously worked for has super high turnover and is constantly advertising for the position that should be a clue as to maybe they are justified for leaving a position.
