Then, explain to the interviewer on how you plan to overcome your weakness.

What do you know about our company/organization?

When applying for a job, you have to be resourceful. You can use the internet to search for the company's website and their services, product, history, profile and goal. You can also check their Careers area so you have an idea on what they can offer to you as an employee. You do not need to know everything about the company.

Through your research, you can come up with your reasons why you are interested in joining their team. Make sure that your reasons are good enough to convince them that you really took time to know more about the company.

Why do you want this job (or the position offered)?

Read the qualifications and responsibilities of the Job offered. You can tell them your traits and skills that match the qualifications for the job. Then, convince them that you are capable of doing the job effectively by citing your previous work experiences or achievements. Furthermore, you can mention that your career goal is aligned with the company's goal or that the company provides opportunities for advancement.

Why should we hire you?

Mention all your good qualities, skills, abilities and accomplishments. This is similar to selling a particular product. To convince a prospect buyer, you need to mention what is great about the product. So ask yourself this question, what is great about you to make you fitted on the job you are applying for?

Where do you see yourself five/ten/twenty years from now?

Your career goals should answer this question. Explain how you plan to move to another job position within the company. This will provide the interviewer the idea on what the company can gain from you if you achieve those goals.

Know yourself first, and then you will know how to answer interview questions. Have a positive attitude and be confident, this will greatly help in easily achieving the career you are aiming for.
