Job interviews are a common tool in the talent acquisition process of employers. As part of the preparations for a job interview, it is highly advised to practice answering possible questions. The questions of a job interview tend to follow a common template or address common topics. The content of the question and expected answer depend on the relevant field of expertise of the job offered.
Thus, practicing the content of possible answers, the pace and length in which to answer them, as well as the implementation of eye contact, hand gestures, and other gestures is important to your success in your future job interview.

Another option is for interviewer to use one of the interview questions to achieve the same by asking “please tell us about yourself”. Another version of the same question may be “please tell us about yourself and why you think you are a good fit for this job and our company”. This question is somewhat similar to the next question explained – “Why us?”…

You know what they are about
You know what their vision, mission, and values are

You are able to identify with the job requirements
