Tackling Tough Interview Questions – Be Prepared!
These are some of the most commonly asked interview questions in 2023, but not all companies ask these types of questions.
If you're struggling with your job interviews, it's easy to lose your focus and stop believing in yourself which can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy. Here are some tips on how to tackle tough interview questions and maybe land the gig.
It's important for candidates for a job to be ready for tough interview questions like these so they can succeed in their interviews. Try these tips to help you be prepared for your interviews and feel more confident during the interview process.
You want to be able to do well on a job interview because it's not just about the job itself. It's also about getting better at interviewing so you can get more opportunities in the future. But sometimes even when you're prepared, sometimes the questions that you get asked in the interview are difficult and make it seem like no matter how long you've been preparing you still didn't have a good answer. And that's going to make you doubt yourself, make you feel like maybe you're not as prepared as you thought, and it will kind of make a self-fulling prophecy which can really hurt your confidence.
But there's a pretty simple way to handle that. This is just a way of thinking about it. The kind of thing I like to tell people is, "What's the worst that can happen?"
If you're asked something and you're not prepared, you'll have an answer ready in your mind, but either that answer sounds awkward or you don't know how to word it and so on and so forth.
So the worst thing that could happen is what? Nothing happens? Well then…not only did nothing bad happen, the question didn't come up at all which means again – those questions are not likely to show up.
So the worst that could happen is not much happens. But if you're prepared and you handle those questions perfectly, if you handle those questions perfectly then what's the outcome?
It's a great outcome! You're going to be seen as an awesome candidate and when they ask tough interview questions it's going to come out naturally that you have a great answer for them. So it's all about being prepared for these tough interview questions because when they do come up and there's no preparation it will be really hard to answer them well.
Now one of the things that I'd recommend in this situation is bringing this up in relation to the person who asked the question. If you can say something like, "That's a great question!" and then bring it back around to score some points with that person. It also helps you to take the pressure off yourself because what you're doing is taking the importance away from this question. And if you're prepared, a question like this isn't going to do much to hurt your chances of getting hired anyway.
So I hope that this helps. If any of these tips were useful or if you have some questions that aren't addressed here, leave them in the comments down below and I'd love to help answer those questions for you. If you liked this video, if you thought this was useful, please hit like and subscribe.

If you're struggling with your job interviews, it's easy to lose your focus and stop believing in yourself which can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy. Here are some tips on how to tackle tough interview questions and maybe land the gig.
If you're asked a tough interview question it's important to realize that some of these questions exist to see how you think and how you'd respond in a more realistic situation. It's worth noting that the interviewer asking this question doesn't expect you to have the perfect answer, but what they really want is for you to demonstrate your critical thinking skills.
Improvising is the worst way to approach a tough interview question because it will make it seem like you don't have an answer or aren't prepared, but when answering in this sort of way just make sure that you try and stay calm and remember that it's all about demonstrating your critical thinking skill.
One of the things you want to do is start by explaining the problem that you're trying to solve, then explain how it relates to your past experience and show you think about how it fits in with your skills and what you know.
Once you've explained the problem behind this question start from the beginning detailing all of the steps that led up to this specific question. This is easily done if your employer has asked similar questions in previous interviews.
After explaining each step and relating it back to your past experience, show how this is relevant for this position within the company because sometimes answering a question like this with less detail can be okay if it helps provide more context or a better understanding of why they're asking it.
One of the most important things to keep in mind is to always stay positive and try to stay calm.
