During the course of an interview, you will find that responding appropriately to some questions is challenging. Often these are open-ended and “behavioral” questions, such as “Tell me about yourself”. Different interviewees struggle with different questions. While preparing for an interview, you should identify those questions you feel may be the most difficult for you to respond to. Then take steps to prepare a response that will work. Not only will this reduce the pre-interview jitters, but it will also provide you with the best opportunity to sell yourself to the interviewer.
