Job interviews are tricky, so it helps to know what you’re up against.
Researching the company extensively beforehand certainly helps. So does compiling some quality questions to ask.
You can also scour job sites like Glassdoor to try to compile and prepare for commonly asked questions.
Fortunately, some CEOs, recruiters, and HR representatives at top companies are quite open about the questions they like to put to candidates.
Here are some questions you might get during interviews at tech companies like Facebook, LinkedIn, and PayPal, according to the people asking them:
‘What are you doing on your best day?’ — Facebook

This question is all about tapping into a candidate’s motivations and drive. And there’s no right answer.
"Whether it’s meeting with clients, coding, or calculating a spreadsheet, it’s going to be different for everyone," Facebook global head of recruiting Miranda Kalinowski previously told Business Insider. "That’s the beauty of bringing all these people together."
‘What are you most passionate about?’ — LinkedIn

Not only will you be asked about your passions at LinkedIn — you’ll be asked to sketch them out on a whiteboard.
LinkedIn’s head of recruiting Brendan Browne previously told Business Insider’s Rich Feloni the goal is to get candidates to be "really spontaneous" in order to see how well they communicate and how they deal with ambiguity.
‘Tell me whether it is better to submit a project that’s perfect and late, or one that’s good and on time.’ — IBM
Hollis Johnson
Obed Louissant, the VP of HR for IBM Watson, prefers this tricky question.
"It’s interesting when you get peoples’ response to that," he previously told Business Insider. "I don’t have a right answer for it. I’m not looking for a right answer. I am more looking at the way in which the person explains and reasons why they answered the way they did."
