&lt;p&gt;When it comes to internship interviews, it&#39;s all about behavioral questions. And while you probably know that you need to have solid answers to questions like &quot;Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses&quot; and &quot;Tell me about a time you worked on a team,&quot; you might not know that you&#39;ll need airtight answers to numerous other questions as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To that end, below we&#39;ve include some of the most common interview questions that top internship programs now ask. All of these questions come directly from our latest &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/blog/internships/the-top-internships-for-2018/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Internship Survey&lt;/a&gt;, which was administered late last summer to more than 12,000 interns at 110 internship programs and which we used to create our &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/rankings-reviews/internship-rankings/.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;2018&#160;Internship Rankings&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;1. “Why did you choose your major?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;2. “Why do you want to intern here?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;3. “Walk me through your resume.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;4. “What have you done in the past that separates you from your peers?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;5. “Name one of your weaknesses and what you’re doing today to turn that weakness around.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;6. “How do you deal with team members who are not pulling their weight?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;7. &quot;Tell me about a time when you failed at something and how you overcame it.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;8. “Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with someone, perhaps another employee, and how it was resolved.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;9. “Tell me about your leadership experience. Tell me of a time when you have demonstrated leadership and how did you lead.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;10. “Tell about a time where you encountered a problem at work. How did you go about handling that problem?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;11. “Name a time when you faced adversity. How did you handle it?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;12. “Give me an example of when you went above and beyond your responsibilities without being asked.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;13. “Explain a time that you needed to persuade a group of people to choose your idea over someone else’s.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;14. “What is something that you have sold before? Okay, sell it to us.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;15. “What is something that you are most proud of that is not listed on your resume?&lt;em&gt;”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;16. &quot;What is one word that you would like us to remember about you?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;17. “Can you tell me about some concept you learned in a class but describe it to me like I&#39;ve never heard of it before?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;18. “Describe a time where you had to improve an existing process.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;19. “What are your greatest accomplishments?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;20. ”Tell me about the hardest, most challenging thing you have ever done.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;21. “You have 60 seconds to sell me on hiring you. Go.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Follow us on&#160;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https://twitter.com/vaultfinance&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;&#160;and&#160;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/vaultcareers/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
