Why+do+they+ask+that+in+an+interview?

Going to a job interview will make anyone nervous but when they ask complicated questions that you have to take a second to think about, it can get a little sketchy. Most of what the interviewer is trying to do is see how much interest you actually have in the company and how you will benefit it.

One of the popular questions that interviewers will ask is "Why do you want to work here?". By asking this, they are trying to see why you are coming to them instead of their competitiors or if you know about the company. This is where you need to have done your homework so you don't make yourself look bad.

When they ask "What are your strengths?", it is important to try to link your answer to something within the job you are trying to get or something within the business. The question "What are your weaknesses?", is where people tend to mess up and make themselves sound bad. Mention something about a challenge that you had gone through and overcome and tell how it benefitted you. It shows that you are going to try your hardest even if that means you will end up learning from your own mistakes.

When the question "Do you work better alone or with a team?", comes up what they really are asking is how well do you get along with others and how much direction will you need when working alone. You want to make it clear that you can interact well with others but you can also be productive on your own.

Know any recent problems the company has been facing and have some ideas for how you would plan to help correct them. The last thing to remember is that the interview works two ways, if you want the company to have interest in you, you need to show interest in the company.
