WHAT TYPES OF QUESTIONS DO
YOU THINK YOU MAY BE ASKED
IN INTERVIEWS?
INTERVIEWS
![Page 18: Recruitment & Employment Confederation YOUTH EMPLOYMENT CHARTER SUPPORT PACK FOR MEMBERS.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551a900a550346761a8b579f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Some typical interview questionsRemember the interview starts the moment you
arrive…• Why are you looking for this opportunity? (as you take the lift to
the interview…)
When you arrive in the room…• What made you apply for this job?
• What do you think you could bring to the role?
• What do you think it will take to be successful in this role?
• Give an example of when you demonstrated XXX skill/attribute, eg: team work, innovation, project management, good communication
• What are your strengths?

Finally – interviews are a two way process…• Do you have any questions for us? Eg:• How do you see this role developing after time?
• Is this a new role? If not, why is the person currently in place leaving?
• What will be the key priorities for the person starting this role?
• What sort of training and development opportunities do you offer?
• Do NOT ask for information provided in the original job description and advert, eg: salary
