Imagine you knew exactly what questions you would be asked in your next job interview.
While there is no way to know for sure what topics will be covered, we will provide you with the next best thing: a list of the most frequently asked interview questions.
We wouldn’t recommend having an acted response for each interview question. But we do recommend the practice to get comfortable with the questions you might be asked, what human resource managers are actually looking for in your responses, and how you can demonstrate you are the right person for the job.
