=What Do Common Interview Questions Really Mean?=

This article in a nutshell is to let people know that sometimes interview questions can be more complex then we think. Sometimes interviewers ask certain questions and have responses to them that they want you to say in your answer.

~Question: What are your strengths?
What it really means: How have you used strengths to add value to your employer?

~Would you rather work alone or on a team?
What it really means: Can you work with minimal direction? or Can you work well with other people?

Tips For A Great Interview:
~Answers such as "I'm responsible" or "I have a can-do attitude" may be strengths, but they are all overused answers that everyone says. Using fresh, unique responses to interview questions distinguish you from other candidates and might help you stand out to the employer.

~When employers ask about your weaknesses, many people will say things that can be seen as strengths, like "I'm too much of a perfectionist " or "I never say no when people ask for help" Responses such as these may come of as canned and the interviewer might wonder what you're hiding. Its better to just be honest about your weaknesses, but mention you'll be willing to work on them.

~Thinking about possible questions that interviewers may ask and formulating well-thought-out responses to them will help you to be more prepared for the interview.
