I read an article on glassdoor.com that gives a few interview questions you should know for your interviews. I hope it will help with some upcoming career fairs.

Talk about yourself!

Be confident!!!
Don’t give too much of your accomplishments in the beginning. You want to keep it for later questions.
Skip your personal history and give 2-3 sentences about your career path, and how you ended up in this job interview.
You want to leave enough curiosity to the recruiter and be brief in the beginning.

Why do you want to work for (company name)?

Be sure to know the company’s background/history.
Know about your desired position and the company’s requirement.
Express your enthusiasm for the job, and also maybe talk about your connection with this company.

How do you hear about this job?

A great opportunity to show the recruiter about motivation and why you want to work in this company.
If you have a personal connection at the company, this could be a good time to mention their names.

Why should we hire you?

From this question, the recruiter is looking for your skills that you can bring to the team.
If you have had work experience before, it’s a good time to mention the number of years, and your past position.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

This question is a more profound question that asks your future career goals, be realistic.
If you plan to work at this company for up to five years, you need to make sure this is the cultural environment you want to work for.
If you don’t know your future career goals, you could say this job will lead me in the right direction.
