Ever been caught off guard in an interview? 😅 We've all been there. You're sitting across from your potential employer, feeling prepared, and then... they ask "That" question. Here are a few things you definitely don't want to hear from your interviewer: 1. "Tell me about your biggest weakness." - This one is almost a classic. They're not just looking to see if you'll admit to flaws but how self-aware you are and how you manage them. My advice? Make it a strength in disguise or discuss how you're actively working to improve it. 2. "Why should we hire YOU over other candidates?" - While this might seem intimidating, it's a golden opportunity to highlight your unique value. Align your experiences and skills directly with the job description, showing them you're the perfect match. 3. "We have had some issues with employee retention in the past." - This can be a red flag. It's essential to inquire further to understand the workplace culture and the reasons behind those retention issues. It shows that you're not only interested in the role but also in a healthy, supportive work environment. In the UK, a recent survey revealed that 47% of professionals feel nervous before interviews (Source: Guardian Careers). It's perfectly normal to feel apprehensive about unexpected questions, but with the right preparation, you can turn these moments into opportunities to shine. Let's look out for each other and share more of these "moments" in the comments! What's the toughest interview question you've faced? Let's discuss.👇 #JobHunting #InterviewTips #CareerAdvice
