"For many of us, job interviews can be a nerve-inducing experience. In some situations, that anxiety is exacerbated when a potential employer goes to extreme lengths to find out if prospective new hires are a good match by asking elaborate, difficult, or overly intrusive questions."
"The prospect of being asked something like, "how do you feel life has worked out for you so far?" appeared to be enough to send people into a panic about all the inappropriate questions that could potentially come up while job hunting. But in reality, according to a recruitment expert, it's actually the more simple routine interview questions that candidates anticipate with horror."
"1. Tell me about yourself. Because this question is vague it can leave candidates unsure of how much detail to provide, how personally to answer, or how to answer at all, as the question doesn't have an obvious structure, Maleh said. 2. Why did you leave your last job? Deciding how much detail (and honesty) to reveal can be challenging, Maleh said, especially if you left your last job because you were unhappy or it was not an amicable parting."
Job interviews commonly cause anxiety for candidates. Extreme or deeply personal questions can trigger panic among job seekers. More simple, vague routine interview questions often provoke greater dread than elaborate intrusive queries. The five most dreaded interview questions include: Tell me about yourself; Why did you leave your last job?; What do you think of your current or previous boss?; Describe a difficult situation and how you overcame it; and a fifth question beginning "What are your sala" (incomplete). Vagueness forces candidates to decide how much honesty and detail to reveal, especially about negative past experiences or relationships.
