Pay close attention to the four most important questions employers want answers to when they’re interviewing you:
- “Why are you here?” (also phrased as “What do you know about us?” or “Why are you here today?”)
- “What can you do for us?” (also phrased as “Tell me a little about yourself,” “Why are you looking to change jobs?” or “What’s your most important accomplishment to date?”)
- “Will you fit in?” (also phrased as “Will you get along with our values and culture?”)
- “What makes you different from everyone else that we may have talked with?” (also phrased as, “Will you go that extra mile?” or “Why should we hire you?”)
Rehearse your answers with your own “personal stories.” These are short narratives describing specific times in your past when you overcame a crisis, led a team, met a deadline, or resurrected a failed project.
