How to Survive a Tricky/Adversarial Interview
The following 'difficult' questions are common to most tricky or adversarial interviews. In order to convince the interviewer that you are the best person for the job, you must prepare and rehearse your answers meticulously. Study the job description and the candidate profile; research the company; and match your skills and accomplishments to the employer's requirements.
When preparing your answers, consider what each question is designed to find out about the candidate's suitability for the position on offer.
1. Why are you leaving your current job?
2. Why should we employ you rather than one of the other candidates?
3. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
4. Tell me about yourself.
5. Where do you see yourself in five years' time?
6. Why do you want to work for our company?
