Also a good thing to do is reseach the company, read up on it the company and the position you're interviewing for. So when the interviewer ask you questions like why do you want this job or work for this company, you can based your answers on your research.

Also when asked about your weaknesses, say something more on the lines of you're a perfectionist, and you get upset when you cant get things just right...

Dont make it seem as if you're really weak at something, and ALWAYS follow it up with but I'm working on it, or I've gotten better, or something along those lines.

Answer 2

Are you a Human Resources manager who's looking to recruit people? Or do you mean what kind of questions you should ask them when you're going to an interview when they say "do you have any questions?"

Assuming it's the 2nd one, you should ask what kind of benefits the job offers, what do they do there (but make sure you do your research ahead of time, so you have some idea of what the company does. You should ask things like "what do the different departments in your company do?").

Above all though, don't be too nervous, and don't lie. If you seem untrustworthy, why should they hire you?
