Job interview questions to expect during a pandemic



It would be strange if you and your interviewer didn’t acknowledge the global pandemic. You’ll probably be doing your interview remotely and it’s also likely that you’ll be starting work remotely. The company you’re interviewing with won’t be operating as normal and you’ll have to navigate a new way to work together.



Aside from making sure you’re wearing trousers and that your Zoom background looks passably professional, preparing for an interview means being ready to answer some new questions. So, what can you expect to be asked?



To find out, we spoke to Alex Jonsson, account manager at BrighterBox, a recruitment company and Julie Olivieri, talent acquisition lead at Dataiku. Below is one of them, followed by comments.

You don’t have to pretend you’ve been on some kind of productivity marathon if you haven’t. Of course employers will want to know if you’ve added any professional skills to your CV, but talking about hobbies you’ve picked up or personal lessons you’ve learnt helps to give interviewers a glimpse of your personality.



“What they have learnt about themselves could be how they discovered a new skill or the ability to step back from something. It doesn’t need to be professional, it can be something more personal,” said Olivieri.
