In previous interviews, I have had to deliver a presentation of my opinions on a particular topic/project. At the end of the interview, I asked... "You've heard my views on...x...., what are yours?"
-
Great question Sharon! I would be very impressed if someone asked this.
-
A good tip would be to identify one weakness but then turn it into a positive. This shows you have proactively found a way to improve yourself, and that this can have additional positive benefits.

My favourite interview question Moustapha!

I have been on both sides of this situation before. When you are the interviewee, seconds of silence feels like a lifetime. But as an interviewer, it goes much quicker. It's best to take your time, compose yourself and then answer.

@SharonNeyland Very true! I've been an interviewer many times now, but was incredibly nervous the first time.

Hi Nasreen. Welcome to the course.
This will be a good introduction to the application stage of jobs, but we also have our other course "How to succeed at: Interviews" starting on 15th April which may help you too. -
