Common Interview Questions


This list of Common Interview Questions is based on the interviews I have attended in the past. I suggest you to review these typical interview questions and think about how you would answer them.

Here is the list:

1. Tell me about yourself
2. Why did you leave your last job? Why are you looking forward for the change? What has disappointed you in current job?
3. What experience do you bring in to the table in this field? Why should we hire you?
