How many interview questions should I prepare?

Prepare 15 to 20 questions properly rather than skimming a hundred. Cover the core skills of your job, three or four stories about real situations you handled, and the HR basics: salary, notice period and why you want this job. Most interviews return to the same themes, so a small set of well-practised answers carries you through most rounds.

Should I memorise the sample answers?

No. Read them to see the structure and the level of detail interviewers expect, then write your own answer with your own numbers, tools and situations. A memorised answer sounds flat and breaks down at the first follow-up question. Practise saying your answer aloud until you can give it in your own words each time.

What is the difference between role, behavioural and HR questions?

Role questions test whether you can do the job: technical knowledge, tools and how you handle typical work. Behavioural questions ask about something you did in the past, and are best answered with a short story. HR questions cover salary, notice period, relocation and why you want to join. Each page here marks which type every question is.

How to use these question pages

Read every question for your job once and mark the ones you could not answer well today.
For each marked question, read what the interviewer is checking, then write your own answer with one real example, a number and the tools you used.
Say your answers aloud. Aim for 60 to 90 seconds for most answers, and prepare a reply to each follow-up question.
Run a timed mock round a day or two before the interview, and fix the answers where you paused or rambled.
