Answering Difficult Questions
Preparing for a job interview means being ready to answer the basic interview questions that almost every hiring manager asks – but it also means anticipating more challenging questions. Job interviews always seem to have at least a few tough questions.
Some are trick questions, and others are designed to put you on the spot to see how you react. Then, there are those that don’t have a right or wrong answer; these questions are intended to show how you think. With those, how you respond is as important as what you say when you answer.
Why Are Tough Interview Questions Important?
These tougher questions have a purpose: they give the interviewer a deeper sense of who you are and whether you’re a good fit for the company.
Try to provide anecdotes and specific examples from your previous work experiences in your answers, especially focusing upon how these experiences have shaped you as an employee.
