When asking this question, recruiters want to know how much time they have to recruit you before other companies can. At the same time, it’s a test question to find out how passionate you are about the role and industry you are applying for.

According to a 2012 Office Team Survey, more than half of recruiters are now conducting video interviews. Job seekers should exert extra effort to ace virtual interviews.

Most recruiters ask about preferred work environment to find out how flexible a candidate is. Knowing what response the interviewer will appreciate should be your guide in how to ace this question.

Ever felt like your work is sucking the life out of you? Have you seen the signs that it’s time to move on to a different career? Perhaps you have something in mind that will make you feel happier and fulfilled. If this is the case, then it’s probably the right time to take action and follow your gut feeling.

Moving onto a different career path should never be a hindrance to success. Sometimes, you are left with no choice but to pursue what you really love, no matter how different your passion is from your current job. It’s a positive life decision when you act on it the right way. You should be able to answer questions regarding your career change when you’re in an interview.

We all know that feeling of being kicked to the curb. The numbness.

The disbelief.

The denial.

Mentally grappling to really register what just happened. And then, after the initial shock subsides, the sinking in the heart sets in.

When looking for a job, you should always consider if you would be a perfect fit for the position available. If not, you may end up looking for another job too soon. If you see potential red flags, don’t hesitate to skip to the next company that fits your skills more.

Congratulations! You have accepted a new job offer, and you are about to start the job you really wanted.

On one hand, you are excited, but on the other hand, you might be feeling a bit apprehensive.

Will you fit in? Will people like you? Will you be able to do the job?

When called for an interview, every job seeker should expect to hear this question, because the recruiter wants to determine if you’re the perfect fit for the position available.
