I am working on the following website. when I login into the Dashboard and click on any item on admin panel such as post or pages I get the following error:

You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/options-general.php on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I am also not able to navigate to the pages except homepage and I found the following error on other pages:

The requested URL /job-interview/ was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

But the pages exists on the website.

Can someone please help?

You might just need to flush permalinks. (Navigate to Settings > Permalinks and click "Save Changes") If you can't navigate to the permalinks page because of the error, you could try one of the other suggestions here

Obviously make a backup of your database before performing any of them.

If that doesn't work there may be a permissions issue. It's generally suggested that the folders be set to 755 and files to 644. You can read more about WP file permissions here

    All folders, really. If you have ssh access you can use these: find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0755 and find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0644
