5.1.6.2 Your way to a successful interview

Trick questions you might get

An interviewer knows how to test applicants.

One way to make a job candidate feel a little uncomfortable is by asking tricky questions.

Trick questions might address certain issues with your CV or they might be questions that are difficult to answer.

The aim is to see how you cope with a stressful situation and also, to see if you start contradicting yourself under pressure.

Don’t panic if they ask you a question like that and try not to lose your thread of thought.

Take breaths in between as needed and think before you answer.

Possible Trick questions are:

  • Have you already thought about the idea of becoming self-employed?
  • Prepare yourself also for questions about your CV and gaps in it
  • What have you done in the time of your  of your "professional reorientation"?
