How an interview is really decided
Interviewers are ordinary people with a post to fill and limited time. They are not looking for a perfect candidate or for clever answers. They are trying to settle three plain questions: can you do the work, will you do it willingly, and will you get on with the people already there. Every question they ask, however it is worded, is a way of getting at one of those three.
That is good news, because it means you can prepare. The questions are predictable. The same dozen appear in almost every interview, and each job adds its own familiar set. What separates candidates is not talent on the day but whether they arrived with real examples ready and had said their answers aloud beforehand.
What you will find here
- Common questions: 12 questions on their own pages, each with the reason it is asked, a way to build your answer, three or more model answers and the likely follow-ups.
- Questions by job: 120 questions with answers for accounts, sales, support, software, teaching, HR, banking, office work, mechanical and digital marketing roles.
- Guides: how to prepare, the STAR method, campus placement, group discussion, phone and video rounds, dress and documents, follow-up and common mistakes.
- Practice tool: random questions with a two minute speaking timer.
How to use model answers without sounding rehearsed
A model answer shows a shape: answer first, then evidence, then the link to the job. It is not a script. Read it, close the page, and write three notes from your own life in the same order. Then say it aloud until it sounds like you talking. An answer built from your own facts survives follow-up questions; a borrowed one does not.
A one-week plan
- Day 1: read how to prepare; study the job description.
- Day 2: prepare tell me about yourself and why should we hire you.
- Day 3: strengths, weakness, five years, why this company.
- Day 4: the STAR method; write five stories.
- Day 5: the questions for your job.
- Day 6: practise aloud, with a friend if possible.
- Day 7: documents, clothes, route; early to bed.
What we do not do
We do not publish "questions asked at" particular companies, salary figures or success statistics, because we cannot verify them. And no genuine employer asks a candidate for money; if anyone does, walk away.
Questions people ask
What are the most common interview questions?
Tell me about yourself; why should we hire you; your strengths and weakness; why this company; where you see yourself in five years; and a question asking for an example of a challenge you faced.
Are the model answers free to use?
Yes. Use them to learn the structure, and put in your own facts. Do not recite them word for word.
Is this site only for freshers?
No. Most pages give answers for both freshers and experienced candidates.
Does the practice tool record me?
No. It shows a question and a timer only.
Model answers are examples. They show the shape of a good answer, reviewed in November 2026. Use your own facts: an answer copied word for word will not survive a follow-up question. Employers differ, and nothing here promises selection. Names in the examples are invented.
