• ¿Puedes contarme sobre ti? (Can you tell me about yourself?)
• ¿Por qué quieres trabajar en esta empresa? (Why do you want to work at this company?)
• ¿Cuáles son tus fortalezas y debilidades? (What are your strengths and weaknesses?)
• ¿Dónde te ves en cinco años? (Where do you see yourself in five years?)
• ¿Por qué dejaste tu trabajo anterior? (Why did you leave your previous job?)
• ¿Cómo manejas el trabajo bajo presión? (How do you handle working under pressure?)

• ¿Qué sabes de nuestra empresa? (What do you know about our company?)
• ¿Puedes describir un desafío que has enfrentado y cómo lo solucionaste? (Can you describe a challenge you have faced and how you solved it?)

These questions are aimed at assessing both professional qualifications and cultural fit. Preparing answers in Spanish to these common questions can be very helpful for candidates interviewing in Spanish-speaking environments. ¹
