You must prepare answer for these interview questions to increase your chance to get jobs in Egypt.
Tell me about yourself
- Your personal info (your name, your age, your marital status)
- Your graduation info (I graduated from Cairo University, faculty of law, 2008, fair degree)
- Your work experience (I worked before as a lawyer for two years)
- Your hobbies and interests (Reading, Playing chess and football).
Tell me about your weaknesses
You must know that no one is prefect and the employer knows that.
Your answer must be with things that you are improving upon.
Also you must show the interviewer that you learned from your mistakes.
You mustn’t say weaknesses that make the employer won’t accept you. You can say for example:
- When I work I work hard and some of my friends don’t like that from me.
- I’m very serious on work.
- I'm always told that I am a bit too slow ... but that's only because I want to do the best job I can.
- I believe that I should always be improving upon myself, weaknesses or strengths.
In this case the interviewer noticed that these aren’t weaknesses so he may ask you the next question.

- This is what I think about it right now.
