As architects work closely with clients and a variety of individuals, employers, usually, look for candidates who have both good communication skills and impeccable architectural qualifications. 

Therefore, architects should prepare themselves to answer general and technical questions. Their answers should demonstrate certain attributes such as problem-solving skills, as well as being able to maintain a professional approach at all times, even when faced with disagreements and disputes. 

As a candidate, you should expect to be asked about the last project your worked on, your role in it and how did you influence your team to implement your suggestions. Employers might also ask you about your skills when it comes to drawing, sketching and modeling using architectural programs such as Revit, AutoCAD and SketchUp. 

Some employers like to have an insight into your passion, so they might ask you about the reason why you chose this particular profession.

And Finally, try, as a candidate, to do your homework before your interview: read about the firm you're applying for and inform yourself about their projects and their vision.
