They sound superficially very simple, but they are not! If you fail to understand how to deal with them, you will not stand out as an excellent interviewee! And if you don’t stand out, you won’t get hired!

"Before every job interview I would always get so nervous! I would re-read my application and my CV over and over before the interview and then get tongue-tied trying to repeat what was on my resume. Every time I would get so nervous that I would say never again, and I would just have to stay in the job I was beginning to detest! When I got your Guide, I learned to take my experience and present it in a more positive way for almost any kind of question. In my last interview I felt so much more confident and relaxed. Thanks again." -- Ron Crichton, Finance Director

Top 58 Interview Questions

"Tell me about yourself"

Yes it is more of a command than a question, but it's often used to get you talking at the start of an interview.

So be prepared! You can learn how to answer this so the interview goes your way, with the Smarter Interview Guide to Top Interview Answers now!

Answers to Top Interview Questions

Before you get into the top interview answers, there are three things you must prepare.

1. Your Career Overview which is the answer to the "Tell me about yourself" question.

[Side note: This Career Overview is possibly the most important part to prepare. If you encounter an interviewer who has not prepared fully, this Career Overview will set the agenda for the whole interview and you will be asked questions that stem from this one statement]

2. A Key Strengths Statement

highlights your strongest skills to match yourself to what they need.

3. An Exit Statement

or leaving statement helps to protect you from the emotions of a difficult job loss. Some thoughtless interviewers try to put pressure on by asking questions like:

"Why did they get rid of you?"

"Why did they make you redundant?"

"If you were doing so well, why are you leaving?"

You can answer these questions with confidence when you've prepared an exit statement that states the facts in a positive light and leaves you in control.

Only our Guide gives you this unique approach which guarantees to make the difference.

Almost certainly you won't be asked all of these questions, because most interviewers only ask around 20 but to be sure we have included more than 55 top interview answers so you are covered.So get your Smarter Interview Guide to Top Interview Answers now!

When I read about your guide and the importance of Closing Questions I had one of those "Eureka" moments. Why didn't I think of this before? I felt so much more confident once I'd read the Smarter Guide. Thanks a million." -- Frank Cowburn, Administration Manager
