1. Tell me about yourself

The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement

prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-

related items unless instructedotherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you

have held that relate to the position youare interviewing for. Start with the item

farthest back and work up to the present.

2. Why did you leave your last job?

Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with

managementand never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. I f you

do, you will be the onelooking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive

reason such as an opportunity, achance to do something special or other forward-

looking reasons.

3. What experience do you have in this field?

Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not

have specificexperience, get as close as you can.

4. Do you consider yourself successful?

You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good explanation is that you

have setgoals, and you have met some and are on track to achieve the others.

5. What do co-workers say about you?

Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific statement or a

paraphrase willwork. Jill Clark, a co-worker at Smith Company, always said I was the

hardest workers she had ever known. It is as powerful as Jill having said it at the

interview herself.

6. What do you know about this organization?

This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the

interview. Find outwhere they have been and where they are going. What are the

current issues and who are themajor players?

7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?

Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide variety of activities

can bementioned as positive self-improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.

8. Are you applying for other jobs?

Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus on this job and

what you cando for this organization. Anything else is a distraction.

9. Why do you want to work for this organization?

This may take some thought and certainly, should be based on the research you have

done on theorganization. Sincerity is extremely important here and will easily be used.

Relate it to your long-term career goals.

10. Do you know anyone who works for us?

Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This can affect your

answer eventhough they asked about friends not relatives. Be careful to mention afriend only if they are wellthought of.

11. What kind of salary do you need?

A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So,

do notanswer it. Instead, say something like, that,s a tough question. Can you tell me

the range for thisposition? In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you.

If not, say that it can dependon the details of the job. Then give a wide range.

12. Are you a team player?

You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready. Specifics that show

you oftenperform for the good of the team rather than for yourself is good evidence of

your team attitude. Donot brag; just say it in a matter-of-fact tone? This is a key

point.13. How long would you expect to work for us if hired?

Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: I,d like it to be a long

time. Or As longas we both feel I,m doing a good job.

14. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?

This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you like to fire people. At

the sametime, you will do it when it is the right thing to do. When it comes to the

organization versus theindividual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect

the organization. Remember firing isnot the same as layoff or reduction in force.

15. What is your philosophy towards work?

The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here. Do you have strong

feelingsthat the job gets done? Yes. That,s the type of answer were that works best

here. Short andpositive, showing a benefit to the organization.16. If you had enough money to retire right now, would you?

Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type of work you

prefer. Do not sayyes if you do not mean it.

17. Have you ever been asked to leave a position?

If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying negative things

about thepeople or organization involved.

18. Explain how you would be an asset to this organization?

You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to highlight your best

points as theyrelate to the position being discussed. Give a little advance thought to

this relationship.


7/19



19. Why should we hire you?

Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not mention any other

candidatesto make a comparison.

20. Tell me about a suggestion you have made?

Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted and was then

consideredsuccessful. One related to the type of work applied for is a real plus.

21. What irritates you about co-workers?

This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with anything that irritates

you. A shortstatement that you seem to get along with folks is great.

22. What is your greatest strength?Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples: Your ability to

prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability to work under pressure, Your ability to

focus on projects, Your professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your positive

attitude

23. Tell me about your dream job.

Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you are contending

for is it, youstrain credibility. If you say another job is it, you plant the suspicion that

you will be dissatisfied withthis position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say

something like: A job where I love the work,like the people, can contribute and can,t

wait to get to work.

24. Why do you think you would do well at this job?

Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest.25. What are you looking for in a job?






26. What kind of person would you refuse to work with?

Do not be trivial. It would take disloyalty to the organization, violence or lawbreaking to

get you toobject. Minor objections will label you as a whiner.

27. What is more important to you: the money or the work?

Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is no better

answer.28. What would your previous supervisor say your strongest point is?

Hello my dear aspirant,

If You observe the candidate who are attending as a fresher and the candidate who are

going as a experienced, then the way of interview is completely different.companies will

be focused very less on Experienced candidates because that person is already having

experience then no need to concentrate on him.

But in the freshers interviews, HR Manager will grill you completely, he will get all the

information and how much your capable in your subject knowledge and they will focus

more on your stress management, how well you can manage your self in the crucial

situations in the organization and while in the work.

Fresher Interview usually goes like as follow;

-Both Interviewer and you wishes

-Tell me about your self

-In that your answer, he will raise some questions on your family back ground

-He will ask you about your education and how your percentage decreased if it

get down

-He will focus on your personal skills

-he may ask you to tell your weakness, but don't tell your weakness any where if

a situation like you must answer then tell as that is not a weakness and try to

make confuse interviewer to think whether it is come under weakness or

strength.

-Technical questions, if you don't have an idea about any question then tell

immediately that you don't know.Tell the answers confidently, some times he

may confuse you.

-Some questions on your Project and he may go depth on your project

-Questions on your Additional certifications if you have done

this position, if yes how?

-Do you have good communication skills?

-Tell me some thing which you know about our company?

Every admissions interview is different, but there are some common questions that MBA

applicants are often asked. To prepare for your MBA interview, read through these

questions and think about how you would answer them.

Why business school?

Why did you decide to apply to this business school?


What can you contribute to our program?

What are your expectations of this program?







What are your greatest strengths?How would your colleagues describe you?


To learn more about the specific MBA interview questions that you may have to answer

at a particular school, consider speaking with current students or school alumni. They

may be able to offer additional insight into the admissions committee or provide you with

a list of questions common to your school of interest.

Here are some of the interview questions which are generally asked in the MBA

interview

1. Tell me about yourself?

Do not divulge too much personal information. Keep it targeted and focused to

professional work culture. This is a highly repeated question in most interviews and

often the first one. Do not get carried away and talk non-stop. Start from the furthest

information and walk through the interviewer to the present.

2. What do you bring to the table?

This is another way of highlighting, all of your achievements from various spheres,

including education, voluntary work, internship and so forth. Ensure that you are

specific and match what you say to what is on your resume.

3. What do you know about the organization?

This question showcases how well prepared you have come for the interview and if you

have done your research well. Drop a few names and figures to prove that you really

know what you are talking about.

4. Why do you want to work for us?

Relate it to the company and its achievements along with your long term goals and how

they can be met. This is the time to showcase your research.


Be honest and sincere. Be alert and ensure that you answer convincingly.


This is an important question as most organizations look for team players. Cite examples

of how you have been able to achieve team work. Ensure that you state the

circumstance, the action that you took and the results that you achieved.

7. How long do you expect to work for us if hired?

Do not give specific examples and months or years. At the same time, ensure that you

give them the right answer without going into further details.


This is the question wherein you can show your passion for the work. This is the time
