How To Answer INTERVIEW Questions..!

Dear All,

Please find the below mentioned Questions which maybe asked by some Interviewers.



Keep these tips in mind when you are in an interview:

• Think first, answer second.

• Focus on your skills and experiences.

• Provide specific examples.

• Draw upon non-work related experiences.

• Turn negatives into positives.



Here are some types of questions that interviewers may ask you:



Directive:

• How has your education prepared you for this position?

• What computer skills do you have?



Non-directive:

• Tell me about yourself

• Why did you choose this career?



Hypothetical:

• Suppose you were working with a group of five people on a major project and one person was doing his/her share. How would you deal with this situation?

• You have a doctor's appointment arranged for noon. You've waited 2 weeks to get in. An urgent meeting is scheduled at the last moment. What do you do?



Behavior Descriptive:

• Tell me about a time when you were working with a group of people and a conflict arose. How did you assess the situation? How did you deal with it? Did you handle the situation well? What did you learn from the experience?



Stress:

• If you had to be an animal, what animal would you be and why?

• Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10

Lets talk about Directive and in directive together

Directive:
• How has your education prepared you for this position?
• What computer skills do you have?

Non-directive:
• Tell me about yourself
• Why did you choose this career?

I always suggest to my candidates whenever giving answer "Tell me about yourself" please include all possible questions and also every answer should be related to your job and intreviewer's mind
as your Education, your hobbies, your background, if you are a player and especially freshers. try to relate them to the responsibilities of the job you are seeking for.

I have mentioned all these points in details in my previous posts also job seekers can go through my blog for this.

Hypothetical Situation
Always answer which takes you more close to your work and shows you are loyal to your work and really dedicating.
If a person can wait for 2 weeks he can wait for some more time it shows it is not very urgent consultation with the doctor as compared to the meeting.

Behavior Descriptive:

Give always constructive and smooth answers without favourism in your mind or don't be very practical/emotional, i mean to say don't be extremist.

Tell me about a time when you were working with a group of people and a conflict arose. How did you assess the situation? How did you deal with it?
- Any time if we talk about conflict or stressed situations we talk for negatives or will answer depends on the conflict so on, i think best anwer on any type of critics or conflict is to start with ""Sir, conflicts is not always negative, as proved earlier and many human management books, it can move into good and constructive results.
Generally we have seen people come close in bad/adverse situations.

After this you can mold it anywhere you want.

Did you handle the situation well? What did you learn from the experience?
- Such situations we are not only handling in our work profile, if we talk about our personal life then also we have faced lots of situations like this (you can give an example of your personal life and tell how you resolved it but please be short)

Answer very positively in any question related to your past to show you learn from your mistakes as no body is perfect.

I have seen very common question tell your weakness, never say you are perfect or you don't have any weakness that 's a fake you too know it, answer honestly with a note how you are working on it.

Stress:
• If you had to be an animal, what animal would you be and why?

Always try to be near the real life and your job, no one is asking you to be an owner of a zoo or a shaikh who can have lion or tiger, best stick with dog , horse or chimpanzee
why as they are very near to human and his nature.

• Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10
Always keep in mind for which skill trait he is asking, rate yourself accordingly as he can ask you questions related to it, be prepared for further more questions.
