Common Interview Questions:

COMMON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND HOW TO ANSWERQuestion: Can you tell me about yourself?Answer: Introduce yourself, feel free to incorporate your elevator pitch. Reflect on your experiences. Give an overview of your relevant work history, focusing on achievements and responsibilities. Highlight education. If you have limited work experience, mention your educational background and certifications, and emphasize how they’ve prepared you for the role. Provide examples of past success. Illustrate how your skills and experiences have positively impacted previous projects or organizations. Question: Can you share an example of a time you failed and how you handled it? Answer: With this question, recruiters want to see if you’re self-aware enough to see and admit your failures and if you’re wise enough to learn something from them. Make sure to describe the situation, highlight your reaction, detail action steps  Most importantly, discuss what you learned to show how you grew in that situation. 

Interviews can be stressful and anxiety inducing, but practice makes perfect. While employer's questions may vary, here are some of the common interview questions along with ideas on how to answer them.


Networking Video:

No matter the industry, networking is essential to a long, successful career. The most successful networkers know that the real work begins well before the event begins and ends long after you get home. Preparation and follow-up are just as important as the networking event itself!
