There are some interview questions that routinely stump the readers of Impressive Interviews. These interview questions are....... 1)        Tell me about yourself – the potential for waffle is enormous. 2)        Where do you see yourself in five years time? – this is difficult to answer as it is so long into the future. 3)        Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses – you don’t want to shoot yourself in the foot by being “too honest,” yet you do want to engage in a realistic conversation with the interviewer. 4)        Tell me about a time where you made a mistake – does an interviewer really want to know when you’ve made a mess of things? 5)        Why should we hire you? – how are you supposed to know whom you are up against? Never fear help is here. Take a read of this terrific article by Fiona Smith in the BRW. She provides some handy ways to approach the five trickiest interview questions.
