Questions almost every interview has
Tell me about yourself.
Almost every interview opens with it.

Why do you want to work here?
It tests whether you read about the company.
A good answer shows: Something specific: a product, a goal from the posting or a problem you can help with.
Why are you leaving your current job?
It checks for problems you might bring along.
A good answer shows: What you are moving towards, said briefly, with no criticism of your employer.
What are your salary expectations?
Only 12% of today’s Android developer postings state pay, so be ready to name a figure.
A good answer shows: A range you can defend. Today’s 67 Android developer postings that state a yearly US-dollar range advertise a median of $202K; the middle half $180K to $236K. Ask for their range first if you can.
What is one of your weaknesses?
A classic, still asked.
A good answer shows: A real weakness that does not block this job, and what you do about it.
Do you have any questions for us?
