Interview Question Generator

What this generator does

Supplies a question a candidate is commonly asked, to answer aloud before the real interview. It provides the question, not the answer — and the answer is only practised once it has been said out loud, with a real example in it.

What you'll get

This generator draws from a hand-checked list of 14 entries. Here is a spread of 6 of them, so you can see the style before you generate:

• Tell me about a time you solved a difficult problem.
• Describe a time you disagreed with a colleague and how you handled it.
• How do you prioritise when you have several competing deadlines?
• Describe a time you had to learn something new very quickly.
• Tell me about a time you had to give someone difficult feedback.
• Describe a time you improved a process at work.

A fixed sample of the list, not a live draw — your own results are picked at random from all 14, without repeating until the list runs out. Original authoring for Generate Random.. Last reviewed 2026-07-19.

How to use this tool

1. Press generate for a practice interview question.

Common use cases

• Preparing for a job interview
• Mock-interview practice
• Building confidence answering common questions

Limitations and good to know

• Fourteen general questions are not the interview: a real one also asks about the role, the employer and what is on the CV.
• Nothing judges your answer. The page draws the question and stops there, so practise with someone who will tell you where the answer wandered.

Practical tips

• Answer out loud and against a timer; an answer that reads well in your head usually runs to twice the length when spoken.
• Build each answer round one real example of your own: what the situation was, what you did, and what came of it.
