Example Interview answers

You can’t always rely on the interviewer to follow
the professional processes we have described in
this book. Sometimes a ‘favourite’ question will
slip in, or sometimes, especially in panel inter-
views, one of the interviewers will decide to go ‘off
piste’ and test you with a question that is hard to
relate to a specific competency. In this chapter
we will:

n explore the range of questions that might
come up

n show examples of specific questions

n give you some ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ in terms of
how to handle them.
