Job interview questions and answers: how to prepare
How should I use these job interview questions and answers?
Do not memorise the answers. Use them to prepare your own stories, one per theme, so you can adapt them to whatever the interviewer asks.
Which job interview questions matter most at senior level?
The ones about impact and judgement: tell me about yourself, a decision you got wrong, how you built a team, and why this role. Prepare those first.
How do I answer “tell me about yourself”?
Keep it to 60 to 90 seconds and end on why this role. Our free Tell Me About Yourself guide gives you the structure.
What if I am not getting interviews at all?
Then the problem sits earlier in your search. Take the free Senior Job Search Score to find which of the five dimensions is holding you back.
