What are your flaws?
The downside of the previous question is that highlighting your flaws can be a dangerous exercise if you haven't prepared for it. Obviously, don't deny having any flaws, because that would be very badly received. Be smart and select one or two weaknesses that don't directly interact with the tasks you will be assigned. For example, if you are applying to work in the fashion industry, you can talk about your extraordinary ability to not have a green thumb. No one will hold it against you.


This question 99 acres database can be particularly destabilizing, since it brings up painful or distressing memories. However, it is at this moment that the recruiter will analyze your ability to demonstrate intelligence, combativeness and leadership. You can obviously talk about a professional situation, but also personal within reason. The goal is to show the recruiter that you have been able to transcend an apparently negative experience to learn from it and evolve positively. However, be careful not to be acerbic and not to accuse anyone in particular. Being virulent towards your former employer, even if you are within your rights, will not give you a positive image.

What is the project you are most proud of?
This question seeks to show your qualities as a proactive person, who has resources. However, it is delicate to handle since you will have to explain how you reached the end of a project that is close to your heart. You will therefore have to talk about your motivations, any difficulties encountered and how you overcame them. You can talk about a personal experience, for example how you learned Japanese in 6 months or a professional situation. However, know how to remain modest while being proud of what you have accomplished.

Why should we choose you?
Or why you rather than someone else? If there is a trick question, it might be this one. Indeed, you might be tempted to go on about your incredible academic background or your formidable human qualities and your analytical mind. However, the recruiter is waiting to be surprised. He hopes that you will give him information that he has not yet had access to and that could irremediably tip the balance in your favor. You can start from the expectations and skills expected for the position by explaining, point by point, why you are the ideal candidate. Or, show other levels of expertise that are specific to you and that could be a plus within the company. Finally, talk about yourself and only yourself! Do not compare yourself to other candidates (who you do not know anyway).
