Job Interview Basics Most jobs require an interview before being hired, whether you are applying at the movie theater or a law firm. An interview allows the employer a chance to meet the applicant in person. Role-playing an interview allows us to practice the questions and contemplate why this company should hire us.

Interview Role-Play Below are five common interview questions. Get with a partner and take turns asking and answering these questions. Can you tell me a little about yourself? What do you consider your greatest strengths and weaknesses? Tell me about a challenge or conflict you have faced, and how you dealt with it. Where do you see yourself in five years? What is your dream job?
