Job Interview Quiz: Test Your Interview Skills (7 Free Questions)
I built this quiz because most people discover the gaps in their interview prep mid-interview, when it's already too late.

A note from Paula
I've sat on both sides of the interview table, and the candidates who did best were almost never the ones with the most polished answers. They were the ones who'd thought about the questions beforehand and knew where they tended to stumble.

Use it honestly, and if you score lower than you'd hoped, treat that as useful information, not a verdict. Paula Townsend
How to prepare for an interview quiz
Interview quizzes like this one are designed to surface the most common mistakes candidates make in real job interviews, before the stakes matter. Use them as a diagnostic: a low score is not a verdict on your employability, it is a map of where to focus next.
The questions cover four core areas every interviewer looks for: self-presentation (the tell-me-about-yourself pitch), research and preparation (have you done your homework on the company), professional judgement (salary timing and handling questions you do not know), and structured communication (the STAR method, especially the often-missed Result portion).
