Why Do Interviewers Ask Certain Questions?
By Candace Davies - candocareer.com

There are 12 reasons that interviewers ask specific questions. Each question will help them uncover your:

· Passion for the industry/company/position
· Motivation and Purpose
· Skills and Experience
· Diligence and Professionalism
· Creativity and Leadership
· Company/Job Fit
· Personality and Cultural Compatibility
· Management Style and Interpersonal Skills
· Problem-Solving Ability
· Accomplishments
· Career Aspirations
· Personal Interests and Hobbies

The impressions you create during the interview are instilled in the interviewer's mind long after the particulars in your resume have been forgotten. This impression will play a major impact on the final decision on who to hire. Increase your chances of securing a job offer by preparing in advance. A well-prepared, confident applicant will make a positive lasting impression with the interviewer. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail!
