                                                                              Common Interview Questions And Answers

                                                                              1. HOW DO YOU PLAN YOUR DAY?

                                                                              This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird? Remote teams can be made up of people working on different shifts and around the world, so you won't necessarily be stuck in the 9-5 schedule if it's not for you...

                                                                              2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

                                                                              When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

                                                                              3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

                                                                              Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...
