Like with any major career step, the key to a successful interview is preparation. you have head this several times.

1.Can you speak to us about yourself?

Wow wow wow, first boom, It is important to guarantee that certain questions will be asked during your interview, but it is highly likely that you will be asked this question as soon as the interview begins. The purpose why interviewers favour this question is because not only does it allow for a quick segue into the start of official interviewing, but it also allows them to test how you can cope in an shapeless situation. For you to answer this question is to first demonstrate confidence, provide an explanation of your career  trajectory and keep it concise. The question can be answered in many ways, but you know what, there is only one way to answer it incorrectly: by questioning them back “what do you want to know?” work on developing and practicing your answer to create an articulate first impression.

2. What was your main reason for quitting your last job?

Hey! you are in but don’t worry everybody have their reason of resigning or leaving last job. this question can appear a little tricky to answer so it is important to be honest and straightforward. If a conflict or adverse professional situation was the motivation for leaving your last employer, be sure to avoid being overly negative. Even if the situation was not your fault, potential employers might become wary. Instead, highlight positive developments that occurred as a result of your departure and explain that you are eager to enter the next stage of your career. You could also explain that you were looking for a more challenging role or perhaps summarize important lessons that you have learned as a result.

3.what is your greatest strength?

No, you are Not, If you are conscious of this, in order to mindfully answer this question, it is advisable to select two or three attributes or skills that are   relevant to the position that you are applying for and focus on them. This is why you came for this  interview. it can also be advantageous to cite observations that other people, particularly any superiors have made about your work or professional characteristics.
