Hi Mamta The motive here is to find the connection between you and the job you will be allocated to do. Whatever your interest is, it should be a constructive one. Don't go yapping about how you love to kill time doing nothing productive. Relate your answer to learning. Few examples are: Reading, Quizzing, Some sports (specify the name), cracking Sudoku etc. This question can further be probed. For example if you mention reading, there might be a question asked "what was the last book you read"? It is advisable to name an autobiography or biography of some great person.
Hi Rajiv Your answer should short and to the point. Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Highlight areas from your background that relate to current needs and problems. Match the description of the job, meeting it point by point with your skills. A sample answer could be like: 'I have the qualifications you need; I am a team player and have a learning bent of mind'. Make sure you do not mention any other candidates to make a comparison.
Hi Moni Point out how your assets meet the requirement of the organization. Few typical answers could be: "I am committed to this industry for the long term"will serve instant notice that you represent the kind of employee the organization needs!! For one thing I adapt well to new systems and procedures. My resume mentions my high personal efficiency and I‘d like to put that efficiency to work for your organization. Those are main reasons you ought to hire me Sir, and I can guarantee you that if you do, you won't regret it!! Be polite but do not sound desperate to get the job.
Hi Aditya This question requires you to exhibit the knowledge about the business the organization is in and why you interested in being involved in it. A bad answer to this question without any preparation is a showstopper. These days it is easy to educate yourself on an industry using the internet. You can research on how fast the industry is growing, how profitable it is, major players and future prospects. If possible, weave your interest in the industry into an interest you have had from an early age.
Hi Abhijeet For heaven’s sake don't come out with answers like "No other company took me in". You will be shown the exit door! Try showing your interest in their industry and process you are applying for. Do thorough research. Use the web to collect information. Look at the website of the organization. Their main competitor. Names of people holding top designations in the industry. How fast the industry is growing and changes that has occurred in recent years. Look for the company’s mission statement. For instance you can state that "I want to take part in the rapid growth
Hi Kajal All interviewees know a lot about themselves but this question requires you to know about the organization. A good research on the organization can give you a competitive edge. Find the website of the company and scan through it. Know about industry sector, company structure, financial performance last year and main customers and competitors. Support your answer with reference to your belief that the company can provide you with healthy and stable work environment.
Hi Dehana Try showing that you have done a good deal of research on the company. The motive lies not in how much you know about yourself and your aspirations but how much interest you have taken in knowing about the organization and its aspirations. Use the web to know: Aims and strategy. Financial performance last year. Main clients and competitors. Products and employees. Find something about their reputation for treating their employees. Do not try to argue, if there is anything you disagree with and want to bring it to their notice try to put it in a healthy conversation.
Hi Aastha You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind though this is a relatively easy one but still needs preparation, else you might talk about the wrong and irrelevant things. You should have stories in mind which could give a glimpse of personal attributes like leadership qualities, ambition and future aspirations. For Ex: 'I spent an interesting year as the project co-ordinator in an IT Company which involved tracking projects and coordinating with sub-ordinates. I learnt huge amount by working closely with the project manager'. While taking through brief history of you
Hi Sumit This is to give a friendly touch to the tensed interviewee. It is also to judge, what according to the candidate is relevant or irrelevant information. You can go prepared about each aspect of your history. Show confidence and 'grown-up ness'. But be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Talk about study background and what were roles and responsibilities picked up by you. Limit it to work- related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back a
Hi Tarun This question might sound easy but could be a deciding factor in your interview. Keep a short statement prepared. When you have decided what to say about yourself, rehearse it in front of mirror. But be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Example: 'University was a turning point for me. I learnt to be independent and the university years made me self motivated. Since I read electronics, I had to do lots of experiments and write reports.
