Job interview questions and answers
The job interview in English contains speci�c questions and appropriate answers. It
also requires certain �exibility in your usage of tenses.
When you walk in the room the very �rst impression you
make on the interviewer can have a great in�uence on the
rest of the interview. It is important that you introduce
yourself, shake hands, and be friendly. The �rst question is
often a "breaking the ice" (establish a rapport) type of
question.
Don't be surprised if the interviewer asks you something like:
• How are you today?
• Did you have any trouble �nding us?
• What do you think of the weather lately?

Don't be surprised by the friendly tone. The interviewer
wants to put you at ease (help you relax). Answer the
question without going into too much detail. The language
you use should be simple but polite, for example:
How are you today? GOOD! I'm �ne, thank you, and you? I'm
well, thank you. BAD. So, so. OK! Not so well.
