---

Getting into the tech interview is hard enough. Don’t blow your chances by saying the wrong thing.

Going for an interview isn’t easy. The employer is the consumer and you’re the business-of-one trying to show you’re the best service provider for the job they are offering. Studies reveal that it costs a company as much as 130-140 percent of your wage to hire you which includes things like benefits, taxes, training, etc. The pressure of choosing the right candidate worries hiring managers. A series of intense interview questions designed to let them “kick the tires and look under the hood” before they invest.

Behavioral questions = Get them inside your brain.

Hiring managers often use behavioral questions in a tech interview with an attempt to have you reveal your genuine professional self. Mostly these are open-ended questions designed to make you give lengthier answers. Your replies will validate your personality, aptitude, and experience level. Which of course these 3 things matter greatly to employers who choose a candidate grounded on his or her ability to fit in with the company’s philosophy.

Below are 7  intense tech interview questions you should always be ready to answer appropriately.

1. What’s wrong with your past/current employer?

This seeks to understand what’s driving you to leave your former job. Contented employees don’t go on interviews for new jobs. The recruiter or hiring manager is trying to see if you have improbable expectations of employers.

2. Tell me about the worst manager you ever had?

Once more, seeking to comprehend your expectations, the recruiter or hiring manager may want to identify what kind of administration style you don’t work well with–especially if it’s a style the hiring company presently is using

3. What’s the worst job you ever had?

The recruiter or hiring manager wants to know what type of work separates you. He or she also wants to recognize what (if any) efforts you made to resolve a problem. When unhappy, are you proactive and try to resolve the circumstance in a certain situation, or do you sit around and get discontented?

4. Why are you better than anyone else for this job?

This may be a test to see if you can balance self-confidence with meekness, this is intended to see if you have an understanding of reality and can communicate how you are different from the struggle without resorting to “throw them under the bus” schemes.

5. Why were you fired?

These are for those that have been obligatorily terminated, you need to factually share what happened and be responsible for your actions. If you resort to imputing and explaining your way out of any wrongdoing, you’ll be dismissed as in denial.

6. What are your weaknesses?

Nobody is perfect. You should discuss your areas in need of improvement, then you aren’t self-aware enough to grow on the job. If you can not clarify how you are already trying to decrease these weaknesses, then you are showing a deficiency of understanding about the necessity to always be cultivating as a professional.

7. Tell me about a time when you had to work with a difficult person?

This question may get to the core of what you are like to work with. The hiring manager wishes to know what type of co-worker you struggle to cooperate with and whether you know how to find a way to work together successfully with that type. You will be paid to do a job, and that means getting along with all types of people, even ones who don’t work like you do.

Hiring managers hear what they see.

A mere reason why hiring manager asks intense tech interview questions is not to calculate your answers, but to evaluate your non-verbal communication skills which your body language, facial expressions, hand gestures, eye contact, etc.

Hiring managers are trained well and can convey when someone is acting nervous or deceitfully. So it is important why every candidate should work on their interview answers as much as they can before they go to the interview day. It will help you relax and communicate with more confidence.
