What genres of music do you enjoy listening to?

Miscellaneous

Purpose

This question is a fun way to break the ice and see if you can chat about everyday things comfortably. It’s about connecting on a human level and showing a bit of your personality.

Tips

  • Be honest about your music tastes – there’s no wrong answer here.
  • Mention a couple of genres or artists and why you like them.
  • Keep it positive and enthusiastic – music is a fun topic!

Common mistakes

  • Don’t say you’re not into music at all – it can make the conversation flat.
  • Avoid negative comments like 'I hate all modern music' – it might come off as snobbish.
  • Don’t assume the interviewer knows niche artists – be ready to explain if needed.
