Dont tell your whole life story.

What is one of your weaknesses?

Dont talk about your personal weaknesses,

Eg. I often oversleep, and I have missed

important meetings. Instead, talk about

professional areas where you can improve,

Eg. If someone isnt working hard enough, I

sometimes do their job. I am trying to focus

on my own work.

Inappropriate questions, Eg. About yourpersonal life, your age, if you are married.

You can say. Id rather keep the focus on

the job, not my personal life.

4. Things to remember:Stand up to greet the interviewer.Dont wear too much cologne.
