Toughest interview questions

Looking for a new job is stressful.

A new study found that over 80% of us agree and that it takes an average of about five months of work and rejection to find a new job.

Why?

Almost 60% of us have bombed out during the interview process.

Here are the questions that trip people up during job interviews:

  • “What are your weaknesses?”
  • “Why should I hire you?”
  • “Tell me about yourself.”
  • “Why do you want to work here?”
  • “Tell me about the worst boss you ever had.”
  • “What are your strengths?”
  • “Describe yourself in three words.”
  • “If you could live your life over, what would you do different?”
  • “Describe a difficult situation and how you dealt with it.”
  • “What do you know about us?”

That last one is important…do some research about the company you’re interviewing with first…or you may be shown the door sooner than you’d like.
