There are 3 types of questions typically found in interviews:
-
Theoretical questions -- Questions that place you in a hypothetical situation. These questions are more likely to test your skill at answering questions rather than in doing a good job.
Example: How would you organize your friends to help you move into a new apartment?
-
Leading questions -- Questions that hint at the answer the interviewer is seeking by the way they are phrased.
Example: Working on your own doesn¹t bother you does it?
- Behavioral questions -- Questions that seek demonstrated examples of behavior from your past experience and concentrate on job related functions. They may include:
- Open-ended questions -- these require more than a yes of no response. They often begin with "Tell me...", "Describe...", "When...".
Example: Describe a time you had to be flexible in planning a work load.
- Close-ended questions -- Used mostly to verify or confirm information.
Example: You have a degree in psychology, is that correct?
- Why questions -- Used to reveal rationale for decisions you have made or to determine your level of motivation.
Example: Why did you decide to major in this program at UM rather than at a small private college or larger university?
