What are your weaknesses?

Again, remember to try and focus on the positive. For example take a weakness that has a positive side (e.g.: It is very easy for me to become so involved in my work that I lose track of time, but I am learning to organize my time better.)

Do you prefer working by yourself or being part of a team?

State which you prefer but remember to also say that you are also comfortable working in the other situation.

Where do you see yourself three years from now?

Remember professional development is an important part of your job. An employer is looking for someone who is willing to grow and develop new skills.

What are your salary expectations?

When answering this question remember that by stating an exact figure you may be asking too much or you might be "selling yourself short". You may want to respond: "I expect to be paid the market value for this particular position", or "What is the current salary for this position?"

Do you have any questions?

Always be prepared with two or three questions that you want to ask the employer. This may also provide you with the opportunity to state any skills you may have forgotten to mention.
