What this page does
It shows you one interview question at a time, picked at random from a collection we wrote ourselves, so you can't just rehearse in a fixed order. Each question comes with a short tip on what the interviewer is looking for and how to shape your answer.
Questions are grouped into six categories: about you, behavioral, situational, strengths and weaknesses, career goals, and closing questions to ask them.
How to practice
- Pick a category, or browse them all for a mix.
- Press Next (or the Space bar) for a new question.
- Answer out loud first. Say your answer as if you were in the room, before you read the tip.
- Read the tip and think about what you'd change.
- Answer again with the tip in mind, then move on to the next question.
Ways to prepare for an interview
Solo rehearsal
Practice out loud, not just in your head. Record yourself on your phone and play it back – you'll quickly hear where you ramble or rush.
Mock interview with a friend
Ask a friend or family member to read the questions to you. Random questions are closer to a real interview because you can't predict what comes next.
Prepare for a specific job
Read the job description, then practice the behavioral and situational questions with that role in mind. Match each answer to a skill the employer asks for.
Careers classes and workshops
Teachers and career coaches can use the categories to run quick practice rounds in pairs, swapping roles after each question.
Questions to ask at the end
Most interviews finish with "Do you have any questions for us?" The closing category gives you ideas so you're never caught without one.
Calming last-minute nerves
On the morning of the interview, run through five random questions over breakfast. Answering a few out loud warms up your voice and reminds you that you're ready.
Interview tips
- Use the STAR method for behavioral questions. Describe the Situation, the Task, the Action you took and the Result.
- Keep answers focused. One to two minutes is usually enough. If they want more detail, they'll ask.
- Prepare five stories from work, school or volunteering that you can adapt to many different questions.
- Be honest about weaknesses, and explain what you're doing to improve.
- Research the employer so your answers and your own questions show real interest.
- Have two or three questions ready to ask at the end.
Questions
What are the most common job interview questions?
Classics include "Tell me about yourself", "Why do you want this job?", "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" and "Tell me about a time you handled a difficult situation."
How do I answer behavioral interview questions?
Use a real example and the STAR method: the situation, your task, the action you took and the result. Keep the focus on what you did.
What is a situational interview question?
It's a "what would you do if…" question about a situation you might face in the job. Talk through your thinking step by step.
How should I answer "What is your greatest weakness?"
Pick a real but manageable weakness, and explain the steps you're taking to improve. Avoid answers that are really strengths in disguise.
