Questions worth preparing before the call
Tell me about yourself.+
Use a 60–90 second present–past–future structure: what you do now, the most relevant proof from your background, and why this opportunity is the logical next step.
Why do you want this role?+
Connect the employer’s needs to work you have already done and explain what specifically makes the role attractive. Avoid generic praise.
What is your greatest strength?+
Choose one strength central to the job, provide a short example, and describe the result. A claim without evidence is easy to forget.
Tell me about a difficult situation.+
Use STAR: set the context, state your responsibility, explain your actions, and finish with a supported result and what you learned.
Why are you leaving your current role?+
Keep the answer brief, respectful, and forward-looking. Focus on the work, growth, or environment you are moving toward.
What are your salary expectations?+
Use a researched range and consider the entire package. When appropriate, ask about the approved range before anchoring.
Why should we hire you?+
Summarize two or three requirements, match each to credible evidence, and close with how you would contribute in the first months.
Do you have any questions for us?+
Ask about priorities, success measures, team dynamics, current challenges, and the next step—not information easily found on the website.
