Be Prepared to Answer Such Questions As:
  • Tell me about yourself. Prepare a brief "sound bite" — two to three sentences — describing your professional achievements, qualifications and career goals.
  • Tell me about your career. Explain what's made you effective in your work, your range of talents and why you want the job.
  • What are your strengths? Talk about projects you've handled that show your ability to do this job.
  • What are your weaknesses? Be honest — address a skill that you're developing but would like to improve. However, do no overstate any lack of knowledge. Nor should you proclaim that you have no weaknesses.
  • What interests you about our firm? Discuss why you would like to work there and how your qualifications match the position. State your interest in taking on new challenges and assignments.
  • Where do you see yourself in five years? In 10 years? Discuss your long-term career goals, such as growth in responsibility or management positions.
