Sample Interview Question A short list of sample interview questions would not be complete without the ever-popular "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" The weakness you mention should be one that would have no bearing whatsoever on your performance at the job you're applying for. Don't give the interviewer a reason to eliminate you from the running! More Sample Interview Questions: Here are some sample interview questions that you should mull over in your mind and make sure you can respond to them in an intelligent, organized way: "Why do you want to leave your present job?", "Why should we hire you?", "How have you solved a conflict that arose at one of your past jobs"?, "Give me an example of an innovative, original idea you came up with at your last job.", "Describe a typical day at your present(or past) job.", "Tell me about situations in which you've had to manage multiple projects at the same time.", "What have you learned from your mistakes?", "How do you handle criticism?", "What did you think of your last boss?" Regarding that last sample interview question, it's almost always advisable to say nice, complimentary things about your last boss, or else you might be perceived as someone who's either difficult to manage or a complainer. If you bring up a conflict or disagreement that you had with your last boss, the person who's interviewing you (who's probably also a manager and possibly your future boss) might assume that you were at fault, and that you were the cause of the conflict. It's a good practice at job interviews to avoid the appearance of being disagreeable, argumentative, or uncooperative. There's a good chance that job interviewers will not give you the befefit of the doubt.
