Quite an interesting article. could be a good help if needed for interview preparation.

Top Executive Recruiters Agree There Are Only Three True Job Interview Questions
Some highlights:
1.  Can you do the job? - Strengths
2.  Will you love the job? - Motivation
3.  Can we tolerate working with you? - Fit
Preparing for Interviews

  • If you’re the one doing the interviewing, get clear on what strengths, motivational and fit insights you’re looking for before you go into your interviews.
  • If you’re the one being interviewed, prepare by thinking through examples that illustrate your strengths, what motivates you about the organization and role you’re interviewing for, and the fit between your own preferences and the organization’s Behaviors, Relationships, Attitudes, Values, and Environment (BRAVE).  But remember that interviews are exercises in solution selling.  They are not about you.
  • Think of the interview process as a chance for you to show your ability to solve the organization and interviewer’s problem. That’s why you need to highlight strengths in the areas most important to the interviewers, talk about how you would be motivated by the role’s challenges, and discuss why you would be a BRAVE fit with the organization’s culture.
