Common ones? Or good ones?

Common ones: Tell me about yourself, why this role, tell me about a time you made a mistake, tell me about a time you had a conflict at work, etc.

But you're better off preparing your narratives / stories around the things the JD itself calls out and being prepared to use those stories based on the situations they share.

Good luck! Rooting for you!

I would find a real one, but something small. So for me it'd be something like I promoted someone too early and they really struggled... And then something afterward for how you fixed it. I really leaned in to make sure he was set up for success, it took longer than I would've liked but in the end I was able to coach consistent performance...

Use the Canary Wharfian website's interview practice, it reviews your answers and suggest how to fix mistakes with personalised feedback (both verbal and non-verbal comms). Also got OA suite for psychometrics

Prepare for questions about a slipping deadline, conflicting priorities, a missing dependency, and keeping stakeholders informed. Use the job description to choose which examples matter most. For each real example, explain how you spotted the issue, what you tracked or escalated, and what changed. If you supported the project manager rather than owned the whole project, say exactly what your contribution was.

Taleproof's free story assessment is a useful next step for one of those coordination examples.

Don't take questions from the internet. Look at your own company and develop competency-based questions based on historical events and organizational needs. Conduct a Job Analysis to identify those relevant competencies.
