Interview Answer Bank: 25 Questions

The STAR method

Situation (1 sentence) → Task (1 sentence) → Action (what YOU did, 2-3 sentences) → Result (number or clear outcome, 1 sentence). Aim for 60–90 seconds. Prepare 6 stories you can reuse: a success, a failure, a conflict, leadership, a deadline, and learning something fast.

Opening questions

1. Tell me about yourself. Testing: clarity and relevance. Structure: present role → one key achievement → why this job now. 60 seconds, no life story.
2. Why do you want to work here? Testing: research and motivation. Name a specific product, value or initiative and link it to your skills.
3. Why are you leaving your current job? Testing: attitude. Talk about moving toward growth, never criticise your employer.
4. What do you know about our company? Mention what they do, a recent piece of news, and who their customers are.
