Interview questions by job

10 jobs, 120 questions, each with a model answer and notes on what interviewers look for.

Two kinds of question in every interview

Whatever the post, an interview has a general part and a job part. The general part is the same everywhere: who you are, why this job, your strengths, a difficult situation. Those are on the common questions pages. The job part tests whether you know the work. An accountant is asked about reconciliation, a salesperson about objections, a teacher about a weak student, a developer about a join. These pages cover that part for ten kinds of work that employ large numbers of people at entry and junior level.

How the answers are written

Each answer is at the level expected of a fresher or someone in the first few years. Technical answers give the standard, settled explanation with a small example, the way you would say it aloud. Where a full answer depends on a figure that changes, such as a policy rate or a transfer limit, the answer explains the concept and tells you to look up the current figure from the official source; quoting an outdated number in an interview is worse than quoting none.

Practical questions ("what would you do if...") are answered as a sequence of sensible steps. In your own answer, replace the invented details with something you have actually done, wherever you can.

Using these pages

  1. Read "what interviewers look for" first. It tells you what the whole interview is weighing.
  2. Cover the answers and try each question aloud. Then compare.
  3. Mark the ones you could not answer and revise those topics from your own books or notes.
  4. Prepare the scale of your own experience: how many, how much, how often.
  5. Finish with the practice tool, which mixes questions at random.

If your job is not listed

The pattern carries over. For any role, an interviewer asks: the basic concepts of the field, the tools you have used, two or three everyday situations and how you would handle them, and the size of the work you have done. List those four for your own field and prepare them the same way. The guides on preparation and the STAR method apply to every job.

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.
