Any interview irrespective of which field, position, profile it is these questions are faced for sure.
Basic Interview Questions with answers:
Tell me about yourself.
What are your strengths?
What are your weaknesses?
Do a simple analysis about yourself, and figure out what are you strength first. Post those as weakness, this is the strategic move. Always use you strength as weakness, for example, I say writing is my weakness, even for a job which need Writing reports is the highest preferred skill. Supporting it I say that's the reason I started a blog 2 years before to overcome it. Now the interview is diverted what blog is it? What do you write? How is the response? You have cracked half the interview.
Why do you want this job?
Never be desperate and at the same time not overconfident, in fact be desperately determined.
It not wrong, if you hide the truth sometimes. Never reveal your actual financial backup, that would give wrong signals. Put yourself in normal, moderate situation.
