Have
an interview coming up? Wouldn't
it be great if you knew exactly what the HR or the hiring manager of
a firm would be asking you in your upcoming interview?
Job seekers should expect less customary interview questions. Knowing
how to put together
a reliable, straight-forward answer to the most common interview
questions is the ultimate key in landing with a job you really
desire. Interviews can be stressful, especially if it is for a job
you really want to take up.
'Practice
makes it perfect' is absolutely
true when it comes to going for job interviews even though
there is no fixed format that every job interviews will follow. The
best thing to do is to think, prepare and revise through the
questions you are likely to be asked in the interviews as many times
as you can and construct the answers ahead of time but never try to
memorize them. First impressions are last impressions. Cracking a job
interview can help to snag you the job of your dreams.
Here
are a few common interview questions that are generally asked and the
correct answers to it:
1.Tell
me about yourself- This is the most common
question asked in the
interviews. It is should last for not more than three minutes, where
you just have to give a brief about yourself about who you are that
includes- your academic qualifications, achievements, job positions,
your previous experiences (if you have any) and how you can
contribute to the company with your background and experiences. Do
not give your personal history.

Why
did you leave your last job?- If
you have left your previous for some negative situations, never say
something bad about the supervisors, co-workers or about the firm
where you had worked. Whatever reason it may be, always stay calm and
positive. You
can focus on the fact that you are looking for better opportunities
and growth.

6. What is your expected salary?- Job
seekers are been frequently asked this question but fail to give an
appropiate answer. It would be better to avoid this question unless
if you have been offered the job. You can say something for instance-
Can you tell me the range for this position? Or say that it can
depend on the details of the job. Try to negotiate for yourself.
