Answer situation-specific questions. You will not know ahead of time the specific questions you will be asked, but you can prepare to hear one that involves working under pressure, one that involves working with different kinds of people, one asking about issues you have ever had with management or co-workers (say none), and one about mistakes you have made during previous jobs. The interviewer might ask you what you would do in a certain situation. Try your best to relate it to a past experience and explain how you handled it then. The manager is trying to see how you operate in certain circumstances.
Thank you very much all of you for your valuable input in answering this question.
Kind Regards

Most commenly asked question is, "Please tell me about yourself?"
While asnwering this question bear in mind that they are not asking you about your own personality and what you do outside work. All they want to know is how prepared you are and how well you have read job description so its better to tell them about your previous experience, what you used to do in your previous role, how you can relate your previous role with your new role, what are common life examples of that makes you a better candidate. Be confident in your approach and hope for best.
Just be normal and relax it's the only way.

Prepare by building stories from your past employment experience - in HR for instance most professionals will be asked Behavioral questions such as: What would you do if you were on a tight deadline and was not finished yet: would you cut corners or submit unfinished work?
Think of a time this happened to you and if not, try to come up with the best realistic response.
Research the employer and make sure you know their mission, areas of focus and what caliber/type of people they hire. I would also recommend reading about the employer on (URL removed due to policy violation. Please contact support for further information.) before the interview.
Be honest, organized and direct.
