Interview questions

4 replies

C25kBecky · 15/04/2022 13:44

I have a pre-screening telephone call this afternoon and I'm trying to prepare answers to common interview questions.

So far I've got:

Why do you want to work here?
What can you offer?
Weaknesses?
Conflict resolution/challenging scenarios.

Anything I've missed?
