(And don’t miss our bonus list at the end, with links to resources on specific types of interview questions—about emotional intelligence or diversity and inclusion, for example—and interview questions by role, from accountant to project manager to teacher. )  \n60+ most common job interview questions and answers  \n1.  \nTell me about yourself/your work experience  \nThis seems simple, so many people fail to prepare for it, but it’s crucial. Here's the deal: Don’t give your complete employment (or personal) history. Instead, give a pitch—one that’s concise and compelling and that shows exactly why you’re the right fit for the job. Muse writer and MIT career counselor Lily Zhang recommends using a present, past, future formula.  \nTalk a little bit about your current role (including the scope and perhaps one big accomplishment), then give some background as to how you got there and experience you have that’s relevant. Finally, segue into why you want—and would be perfect for—this role.  \nPossible answer to “Tell me about yourself”  \n“ Well, I’m currently an account executive at Smith, where I handle our top-performing client. Before that, I worked at an agency where I was on three different major national healthcare brands. And while I really enjoyed the work that I did, I’d love the chance to dig in much deeper with one specific healthcare company, which is why I’m so excited about this opportunity with Metro Health Center.”  \nRead this next: A Complete Guide to Answering “Tell Me About Yourself” in an Interview (Plus Examples!)  \n2.  \nWalk me through your resume  \nLike “Tell me about yourself,” this question is a common interview opener. But instead of framing your answer around what qualities and skills make you best for the position, your answer should group your qualifications by your past jobs and tell your career story. You might choose to tell this story chronologically, especially if there’s a great anecdote about what set you on this path. Or, as with “Tell me about yourself,” you can begin with your present job then talk about what brought you here and where you’re going next. But regardless, when you speak about your“past” and “present,” highlight your most relevant experiences and accomplishments for this job and wrap up by talking about the future, i.e. connect your past and present together to show why this job should be the next one you add to your resume.  \nPossible answer to “Walk me through your resume”  \n“Well, as you can see from my resume, I took a bit of a winding road to get to where I am today. In college, I double majored in chemistry and communications. I found early on that working in alab all day wasn’t for me and at some point I realized I looked forward to the lab class I TA’ed the most.  \n“So when I graduated, I found a job in sales for a consumer healthcare products company, where I drew on my teaching experience and learned even more about tailoring your message and explaining complex he","cbCaib1s5Gimfiyk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib1s5Gimfiyk","pdf",205685,34,"English","# 60+ most common job interview questions and answers\n## Tell me about yourself/your work experience\n## Walk me through your resume\n## How did you hear about this position?","[{\"question\":\"How should you answer “Tell me about yourself/your work experience”?\",\"answer\":\"Use a concise pitch that explains why you fit the role.
