Interview Question Generator
Practice interview questions by role and type, with what each one tests.
About this tool
Pick a role type (any job, software, sales, customer service, manager, marketing, or healthcare, care and teaching) and tick the question types you want: behavioural, situational, role-specific, motivation and fit, and questions to ask the interviewer. Choose how many of each. Every question shows what it's really testing. Shuffle for a fresh set and copy the list. Nothing is stored.
How to prepare for interview questions
Most interviews mix a few predictable kinds of question. Behavioural questions ("Tell me about a timeβ¦") assume past behaviour predicts future behaviour. Answer them with the STAR method: the Situation, your Task, the Action you took and the Result, ideally with a number. Situational questions ("What would you do ifβ¦") test judgement, so explain your reasoning step by step. Role-specific questions check the skills on the job description, and motivation questions ("Why do you want to work here?") test whether you've researched the company. Rather than memorising answers, prepare five or six real stories, such as a success, a mistake, a conflict, a deadline and a time you led or persuaded, which you can adapt to many questions. Practise them out loud. Always have two or three questions ready for the end; "What does success look like in six months?" shows you're thinking about doing the job well. If you're the interviewer, ask every candidate the same core questions and score answers against the same criteria, which is fairer and predicts performance better. Avoid questions about age, family plans, religion, health or other protected characteristics. The cover letter builder, the elevator pitch generator and the follow-up email generator are related.
