Interview preparation: the 10 questions to prepare for

Interviews are not a memory test. The interviewer is asking one question in many forms: can this person do the work, and will they be reasonable to work with?

The ten to prepare

Tell me about yourself. Ninety seconds: what you do, one thing you did well, why this role.
Why do you want this job? Name something specific about the organisation.
Why are you leaving your current role? Keep it neutral. Never insult a former employer.
Tell me about a problem you solved.
Tell me about a time you failed. Say what you changed afterwards.
Tell me about a disagreement with a colleague.
What are your strengths? Give evidence, not adjectives.
What is your weakness? Choose a real one that is not central to the job, and say what you are doing about it.
Where do you see yourself in three years?
What are your salary expectations? Give a range, based on what similar roles pay.

Use the STAR shape for anything starting "tell me about a time":

Situation — one sentence of context
Task — what you had to do
Action — what *you* did, not what the team did
Result — what changed, with a number if you have one

Prepare two questions to ask them. "What would a good first three months look like in this role?" tells you more than anything on the job advert.

Practical things

Test the video link the day before, not five minutes before.
Sit where the light is in front of you, not behind you.
Have your CV open on the screen.
If your connection drops, call back and apologise once. It happens to everyone.

The ONFIVEE onboarding interview works the same way. It is recorded as a score on your profile, and employers see it next to your application — so treat it as a real interview rather than a form to click through.
