The questions asked today in job interviews are obviously not the same as a few years ago. In 2025, one of them focuses on a very current subject, which may frighten some. Here's which one.
It's a moment feared by many, but nevertheless essential to obtaining a new position: the job interview . If some people feel stretched and know how to remain natural during this exercise, others lose their means in front of their potential new employer. It must be said that job interviews do not have the reputation of being fun, given the certain trick questions asked.
The best thing is to prepare for this moment at home, by practicing in advance to answer potential questions that may be asked. There are the most obvious, and the most recurring: on former professional experiences, the qualities which concern us, but also the faults, the professional capacities, the reasons why it would be good to hire us, what we could bring to the company or our abilities to work in a team.

What is the question that is likely to come up the most in 2025 during a job interview?
Once these banal questions have passed, it's time for more current questions. According to Daniel Shapero, director of operations at LinkedIn, a theme, now well established in everyday life, has also been particularly addressed in job interviews. It is about artificial intelligence (AI) generative.
A large number of professions are in fact affected by the rise of AI, and many employers must have had to get up to speed : “One of the most common interview questions employers asked this year was, ‘Tell me a story about how you used AI in your workplace or at home,’ and this demonstrates that if you are comfortable with AI, you are more likely to help their organization become more AI-centric.” explained the manager in the columns of Fortune magazine.

-Working with AI becomes essential for employers
By asking this question, employers are seeking to know if their potential future recruit knows a minimum of AI, and above all, if they will know how to work with it, in order to evolve with this new technology, which many already feel overwhelmed by. . . This does not mean that employers are asking that the person present necessarily be an expert in AI, but simply that they know the basics in order to possibly work with it in the future.
Daniel Shapero explained that among the most frequent responses to data by future employees are taking notes, imagining creative ideas or planning trips. : “There is therefore a very wide range of areas for which AI can be used”, declared the director of operations at LinkedIn, before adding : ” It becomes more and more obvious when you talk to someone and ask them for examples how comfortable that person really is. I think we're seeing that employers are looking for people who are comfortable with AI, because they know they're going to have to integrate AI into their daily lives.”
