Hello everyone, What is the comman question in any interview?
The most common one I have ever had is What do you know about us.
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians. Help end the violence EAT BACON

Not sure if this is common where you are from but one question I've had heard a lot is: What's you biggest flaw. Or some variation of it. Generally I think it's to see if you can critically analyze your self. But there are too many variables to say for certain. Instead of focusing on specific question like you are trying to memorize forgettable knowledge for an exam you should look at it from the interviewers perspective. First of are you by a person with technical expertise that you might work directly under, is it some HR shaman or external recruitment agent? Also take in consideration what information was posted for the job. Does it seem they want someone long term or you someone that can quickly get to work and do a specific task? Depending on which they might place different emphasis on your current knowledge and skillset vs personality and potential growth. Passing interviews, getting interviews is an entire skillset in itself. I for one is very confident in my ability to land a job once I get to the interview stage just because I know my strength and weaknesses and how to present that in the right way related to all these variables. It also helps to seek the right jobs so you can have that confidence.

Which I consider to be one of the most ridiculous questions one could ask in an interview. For this reason - if I knew what a person's biggest flaw was I would probably not want to work with them.

Hello everyone, What is the comman question in any interview?
Facetious: "Would you like a drink?" "Did you find us ok?" Actual: "Can you give us an example of when you did x" - lots of variations on this "How did you find x project?" - variants on this to just test out that your CV is actually yours "Our project hopes to do x. How would you expect it to work?" Background: "What's your usual approach to a problem?" - more to get an understanding of how someone processes things.

It's a stupid question because it only elicits canned responses about being too much of a perfectionist

"sugar or creme in your coffee?"
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Hello everyone, What is the comman question in any interview?
Why should we hire you? The whole interview is centered around that question.

Hello everyone, What is the comman question in any interview?
The most common one that interviewers never actually ask is .. Why did you bother coming all the way to this interview when you know that we were always giving the job to someone related to the managing director and just posted the vacancy to meet tiresome regulations?

For me it's; "Sir, can you please just leave?"
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.' :laugh:

Incorrect the correct answer is: How do y'do? Welcome to life in the UK, where enquiring about someone's health is seen as intrusive.
