Other Questions
In addition to this you must be prepared for questions on current affairs, your hobbies
and interests and your ambitions, goals and aspirations. Also interviewers are now
regularly probing deeper into your psyche, your friends, family, upbringing, why
you've taken certain decisions in your life, what is your purpose, major driving
factor, etc. The tasks in 'How to WOW' will go some way in helping you prepare for
this.
The one area that you simply cannot prepare for are the 'showboat' questions - 'If
you were an animal what would you be and why', 'If you were a colour what colour
would you be and why?'. Answer politely with a wry smile on your face safe in the
knowledge that here is an interviewer that is obviously deficient in some area and
needs to give his own self esteem a boost for being so clever!
Conclusion
Remember that it is useful to look at interview questions to get your mind in tune
for an interview, particularly if it's been a while since you were last interviewed,
but it is imperative that you do not learn parrot fashion your answers. Have complete
confidence that if you know who you are, where you are going, your strengths, your
experience and your achievements that you will be fine. Absolutely fine.
