What questions are commonly asked during an interview and for what purposes are they asked? I know some questions are for clarification but are there other reasons?

Tell me about yourself: This is your chance to pitch yourself and help me remember you. Prepare an elevator pitch.

Why did you leave your last job: Are there any red flags? How do you treat those who you no longer have a relationship with?

Walk me through your resume: I want to make sure you are telling the truth on your resume and can recall it

Why is there a gap in employment: Are there any red flags? Are you going to be away again?

Tell me a challenge or conflict you've faced at work and how did you deal with it: Do you work professionally and tactfully?

Your weaknesses: Are you actively working on it and how do you overcome it
