Your interview is at 9 am - what time are you going to wake up?

Time to get ready! What's in your morning routine?

Question 3

You made it! What's your first impression of the interviewer?

You finally made it to the interview! Don't be too nervous, it's time to make your first impression. The person doing your interview introduced themselves to you and told you to come into their office to get started. But wait, what do you think of the interviewer? Do they seem cool or not?

Question 4

How nervous are you?

Some people get really nervous in situations like interviews or giving a public speech. That's totally normal!

Question 6

Was your last job at all related to this one?

What is your interviewer going to see when they look at your resume? Was the job that you left before you applied for this one similar? Was it completely different? Or is it somewhere in between, so that you have some experience but you're also trying something new on for size?

Question 7

What are three things that describe you?

Alright, here come the questions. Your interviewer has you sit down and immediately starts the interview. Their first question is, "What are three phrases that you would use to describe yourself?" Time to make a good second impression! You really need to sell yourself here. What do you say back?

Question 8

Why did you leave your previous job?

Your previous job experience is really important. Having jobs before this one that are in a related field can show that you have experience and really know what you're doing! It's also important to know why you left them because that can say a lot about what you're like in the work environment. So, what do you say when they ask why you left your last job?

Question 9

And sometimes, you might not get along with your coworkers! How do you deal with conflict?

Question 10

Whoops! In the middle of the interview your phone rings. What do you do?

Well, this is awkward. During the interview, your phone started ringing in your pocket! Oh no. You definitely thought it was turned off before you came in, but you were just so nervous that you forgot to double check it. This is really embarrassing! What do you do about it?

Question 11

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Think about the future. Where do you see yourself in five years? The interviewer left the question pretty open, so you can answer about your professional life or your personal life. However you choose to answer, you definitely want to say something that will make you seem dependable and like they should hire you! What do you say?

Question 12

Do you have any special talents?

Aside from the professional skills you listed on your resume, do you have any special skills or talents? Maybe you can say the alphabet backwards or you can fold your tongue up into a whole bunch of wild shapes. Tell the interviewer something that will make you stand out but also show that you'd be an asset to the company.

Question 13

What are your hobbies?

Although your hobbies outside of work aren't really that relevant to this interview, they can say a lot about you as a person!

What do you tell the interviewer your hobbies are?

Question 14

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Question 15

Why should you get this job?

So, how do you react when your interviewer asks this?

Question 17

What's something you learned at your last job?

Even though you're clearly not working there anymore, if you ever worked somewhere before this at all, your last job can be pretty important to this one! It may not seem like it, but it's true. So, when your interviewer asks what you learned at your last job, you definitely need to give a good answer. What do you say?

Question 18

Which of these 90s hits is your karaoke go-to?

Which of these four catchy hits from the 1990s is your go-to song when it's your turn to pump up the volume and get to singing?

Question 19

If you woke up to 3,000 emails and could only answer 200, how would you choose which to answer?

Imagine you wake up to 3,000 new emails in your inbox. Talk about a nightmare, right! Yikes! But then things get worse when you find out that you have to choose only 200 of them to reply to. Um, this sounds awful. So, how do you pick which ones are worthy of a reply?

Question 20

If you had to teach someone a skill in five minutes, how would you do it?

Pretend for a moment that you have to teach someone a skill, one that you're already good at, and you only have five minutes to teach them. Then, they'll be tested on their knowledge of it and you'll be graded on how well you taught them. How do you teach them this skill?

Question 21

What pushes you to want to succeed?

What pushes you to want to succeed in the things you do in life? Everyone has something that makes them push themselves to finish projects and meet deadlines. Is it because you're a perfectionist who wants everything done just right? Is it because you want the approval of others? Or is it simply because you're looking to keep your job and keep getting paid?

Question 22

Which of these ridiculous products do you wish you had invented?

Everyone has seen those ridiculous "as seen on TV" products, right? Some of them are pretty cool, but a lot of them are just bizarre and nonsensical. How do people come up with some of them?! If you had to pick one of these absurd products to be the proud inventor of, which one would you pick?

Question 23

What would you do about a coworker that smelled horrible?

Your interviewer tells you to pretend for a second that you got the job and it's great, but one of your coworkers who you're near a lot smells horrible.

Question 24

What do you think will be your least favorite part of this job?

Question 25

Do you think you got the job?

Now that the interview is over, how do you think you did?
