I agree, since you have been shortlisted for the interview, it goes without saying that they know a lot about you. In my opinion this question is asked to observe how well a candidate describes and what he chooses to speak- prioritizing. Possibly this is one SMALL question which enables a candidate to speak maximum, it gives lots of scope to interviewer to observe many aspects of candidate's personality, his clarity of expression, body gestures, also reflects one's approach about life, A successful (positive personality) person will have a lot to discuss about himself with lots of enthusiasm where as less successful person would be hurrying up to sum up his answer.

One should not only research potential interview questions, but go on as many as possible to "get used to the fishbowl". The simplest question that trips most people up is the old favorite: "Tell me about yourself." It is so open-ended that, if unprepared, the interviewer will blather on about things that will only get them a rejection letter.

Since interviewing is so important, one should research it and practice as often as possible. The resume gets you into the door, but the interview seals the deal. Utilize a credible interview coach if necessary.

That is a very unique idea from Glass door. I think it is a great way to help people get jobs, but then again, companies will change their questions when they learn about this. So I am thinking about whether it can be effective at all.

Regards, Tim.

Not sure why you refer to the "great workplace" awards as "BS lists." Most of these workplace evaluation programs are based on employee surveys and input, so the people working at those companies seem to feel like their employers employers are high quality.

The best preparation to have for interviews is to be comfortable going into new experiences that you have never had before with people you have neve met before.

Practice doing this will enable you to be calm and relaxed in the interview, the ideal state to be able to manage anything that arises.
