What are they looking for?

An interview serves as an opportunity for both the interviewer and the interviewee to evaluate whether there's a good fit. To make this assessment, the interviewer typically seeks answers to three key questions:

Can you do the job? The interviewer aims to ascertain if you possess the necessary skills and qualifications for the role. They'll inquire about your skills, experience, and accomplishments to validate what's on your CV/resume.

Will you stay committed? It's crucial for the interviewer to determine if you're likely to remain in the position for a reasonable duration. Expect questions about your long-term career goals, your affinity for the role, your interest in the company, and your motivation for applying.

Will you fit into the culture and team? Interviewers want to confirm if your personality and work style align with the organization's culture and team dynamics. Questions might touch on your values, preferred management style, ideal work environment, and what you prioritize when joining a company.
