How to prepare for a job interview — and predict what you will be asked
74% of job seekers prepare for interviews by practising common questions — and candidates who practise tend to perform 45% better on the day. The challenge is that generic lists of “common interview questions” rarely match what actually gets asked in a specific role. The most useful preparation is job description analysis: take the key skills and responsibilities from the posting and prepare a specific story for each one. The job description predicts around 80% of what you will be asked.
The most reliable framework for structuring answers is STAR: Situation, Task, Action, Result. Prepare five to six detailed STAR stories that can be adapted to multiple questions. A story about leading a team through a difficult project can answer questions about leadership, pressure, conflict resolution, and communication — four different questions, one well-prepared story. Saying answers aloud during preparation is essential; thinking them and saying them are very different skills.
Tips for stronger interview preparation
- —Build a library of 5–6 flexible STAR stories. Each story should be adaptable to at least 3 different question types — one strong story about leading through difficulty covers leadership, pressure, conflict, and communication questions simultaneously.
- —Research each interviewer on LinkedIn before the call — knowing their background, how long they have been at the company, and what they focus on helps you tailor answers and ask sharper questions.
- —Research the company's recent news (past 60 days), their main product or revenue driver, and one challenge the industry is facing — weaving this naturally into your answers signals serious preparation.
- —Prepare your “greatest weakness” answer in advance — it is asked in nearly every interview and still catches people off guard. Pick a real weakness that is not core to the role and explain what you are actively doing about it.
- —Prepare 3 smart questions that demonstrate you have thought about the role — ask about the biggest challenge the team is facing, what success looks like in the first 90 days, or what separates people who thrive here from those who do not.
- —Spend most of your STAR answer on the Action and Result — interviewers already know the situation exists. The Situation and Task setup should take no more than 20% of your answer time.
- —Practise out loud and record yourself once — most people are better than they think but use more filler words than they realise. One playback session is worth an hour of silent rehearsal.
- —Send a thank you email within 24 hours after every round — 22% of hiring managers say they are less likely to hire someone who does not send one, and it gives you a second shot at leaving an impression.
Frequently asked questions
What are the most common job interview questions?
“Tell me about yourself” (asked in 93% of interviews), “Why do you want this role?”, “Describe a time you handled a difficult situation”, and role-specific competency questions drawn from the job description. The posting predicts the majority of what you will be asked.
How long should interview answers be?
90 seconds to 2 minutes for behavioural questions. Short answers signal shallow thinking; long answers lose the interviewer. The STAR framework helps you stay structured and on time — spend most of your time on the Action and Result, not the setup.
How do you prepare for behavioural interview questions?
Build a library of specific STAR stories from your work history. For each story, identify all the different question types it can answer — leadership, pressure, collaboration, problem-solving. Five to six strong stories can cover the entire interview. Practise saying each one out loud until it sounds natural, not rehearsed.
