Internship Interview Questions

Internships are a perfect way for many recruiting managers to assess new employees. Internships are intended to be training experiences first and foremost, which means you should be personally involved in curating the questions and activities aimed at finding the best applicants who might also prove to be your potential employees in the near future.

Here’s your cheat sheet towards developing the perfect internship interview questions:

• Why are you interested in this internship?
• Why are you interested in this internship?
• Have you ever worked as an intern before? If so, please explain your experiences.
• Which is the best team you’ve ever been a part of, and why?
• What’s your perspective of an ideal team at work?
• Tell us of a time when you took the initiative or undertook a leadership role.
• Tell us about a project or assignment that you worked on from start to finish—what went well and what you would have done differently?
• What has been the most difficult challenge, and how did you overcome it?
• Tell us of a time when you needed to learn something entirely new.
• Can you tell us about a project or accomplishment that you are really proud of, and why?
• How would your professors, friends, and coworkers describe you?
• What three words would you use to describe yourself the best?
• What do you think are the most important qualities to have as an intern?
• What amount of experience do you have with standard office management applications (for example, Microsoft Office/Excel/Powerpoint, Slack, SalesForce, and so on)?
• How can you deal with stress? Is it ever been a challenge for you?
• What made you decide on your major?
• What are your long-term objectives?
• Do you have any queries for us?
