Tell us about yourself…
This post will focus on managing the timing on 3 interview areas. First, some simple questions to break the ice, second, some longer essay-style questions, and finally some technical questions to test your speaking abilities in a professional environment.
Remember to keep in mind that it is best to stay to the point, keep your answers direct and focus on concisely answering the questions.
Interview Style Questions

Essay-Style Questions

Why do people get nervous during job interviews when they’re asked questions like these? The answer is simple. People feel nervous because they know they’re being judged. They’re being judged on their personality, their body language, the logic behind their responses and the quality of their clothes. This is why extensive preparation before a job interview and the implementation of strategic answers is vital for your chances of success.
