Most Common Interview Questions...

Prepare for the below questions generally asked in the job interviews. Tell me a little about yourself Why are you looking (or why did you leave you last job)? Tell me what you know about this company. Why do you want to work at X Company? What relevant experience do you have? If your previous co-workers were here, what would they say about you? Have you done anything to further your experience? Where else have you applied? How are you when you're working under pressure? What motivates you to do a good job? What's your greatest strength? What's your biggest weakness? Let's talk about salary. What are you looking for? Are you good at working in a team? Tell me a suggestion you have made that was implemented.

Would you rather work for money or job satisfaction? Would you rath...
