What will they be looking for?

During different parts of the interview process you will be asked different types of questions. Let’s break it down into three main categories of questions that may be asked, namely:

  1. Culture fit questions: Which are aimed at assessing the alignment of candidates to the company and team culture
  2. Technical questions: Which are questions specific to the role in question to assess a candidate's skills and abilities in relation to the role requirements
  3. Competency-based questions: These are questions that ask for real-life examples to test a candidate’s skill in a particular competency.

How to make a good first impression:

Make sure the interviewer sees how you’re a good fit for the role and the company as a whole.
