Most Common Interview Questions and Their Answers

Interview is a greatest opportunity for job applicants to prove that he is the best person for the job! Practice your responses so you sound positive, and clear, about your circumstances and your goals for the future. Be enthusiastic and confident when responding to questions. Don't rush your answers, but don't ramble on and on, either. Try to avoid using unnecessary words and repeating yourself or annoying phrases.

common-interview-questions


Most questions will relate either to your ability to do the job or to the type of employee you will be. Here are  15 most commonly used questions with their best and suitable answers:  

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 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 and work up to the present.

2. Say something about your previous organizations?

Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking reasons.

3. What do you know about this organization?

This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are going. What are the current issues and who are the major players?

4. 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 the organization. Sincerity is extremely important here and will easily be sensed. Relate it to your long-term career goals.

5. 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 not answer it. Instead, say something like, That’s a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position?
In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not, say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide range.

6. What will you do for this organization?

You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to highlight your best points as they relate to the position being discussed. Give a little advance thought to this relationship.

7. Why should we hire you?

Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not mention any other candidates to make a comparison.

8. 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....
There are numerous other good possibilities; Loyalty, Energy, Positive attitude, Leadership, Team player, Expertise, Initiative, Patience, Hard work, Creativity, Problem solver...

9. What is Your Greatest Weakness?

When you're asked what your greatest weakness is there are several different ways you can answer. Analyze the key skills and strengths required for the position you are interviewing for and then come up with an honest shortcoming which is not essential for success in that job. For example if you are applying for a technical job, you might share that you are not particularly adept at conducting group presentations.
I like to make sure that my work is perfect, so I tend to perhaps spend a little too much time checking it. However, I've come to a good balance by setting up a system to ensure everything is done correctly the first time.

10. Why Are You Leaving Your Job?

Regardless of why you left, don't speak badly about your previous employer. The interviewer may wonder if you will be bad-mouthing his company next time you're looking for work. You may answer positively i.e. 
  • I was commuting to the city and spending a significant amount of time each day on travel. I would prefer to be closer to home.
  • To be honest, I wasn't considering a move, but, I saw this job posting and was intrigued by the position and the company. It sounds like an exciting opportunity and an ideal match with my qualifications.
  • This position seemed like an excellent match for my skills and experience and I am not able to fully utilize them in my present job.
  • I recently received my degree and I want to utilize my educational background in my next position.


11. How Do You Work Under Stress / Pressure?

Examples of good responses include:
Stress is very important to me. With stress, I do the best possible job. The appropriate way to deal with stress is to make sure I have the correct balance between good stress and bad stress. I need good stress to stay motivated and productive.
I'm not a person who has a difficult time with stress. When I'm under pressure, I focus, and get the job done. I'm the kind of person who stays calm under pressure, and handles stress fairly easily.

12. What Are Your Goals for the Future?/ Where you see yourself after 10 years?

The best way to respond to this question is to refer to the position and the company you are interviewing with. You want to connect your answer to the job you are applying for instead of discussing your goals about your family or personal life.

13. What were your starting and final levels of compensation?

Be prepared to tell the interviewer how much you earned at each of your prior positions.
Make sure that what you tell the interviewer matches what you listed on your job application. Refresh your memory prior to the interview by reviewing your salary history, so, you can speak in detail and accurately. Don't exaggerate or inflate your earnings. Many employers will check references and confirm your salary history prior to making a job offer. A discrepancy between what you reported and what the employer says could knock you out of contention for the job.

14. What were your responsibilities in previous Organization?

The best way to respond is to describe your responsibilities in detail and to connect them to the job you are interviewing for. Try to tie your responsibilities in with those listed in the job description for the new position. That way, the employer will see that you have the qualifications necessary to do the job. Focus most on your responsibilities that are directly related to the new job's requirements.
It's also important to be honest. Don't embellish your job, because you don't know who the hiring manager will be checking with when they check your references.
   

15. Do you have any questions for me?

Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an asset to the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? What type of projects will I be able to assist on?

Top-10 Interview Tips for Job Seekers



These ten tips will help you for a successful interview; from greetings to saying thank you. In the current situation of financial crisis, employment chances are becoming lesser and competition to get a job is increasing. In this scenario when you get a chance of job interview in a reputable company or organization, you will not want to waste it or let it go. You should do your best to get job offer after the interview.
Read following steps carefully and prepare yourself for the interview accordingly.


1. Get Information about the Company/ Organization

You as an applicant might already know basic information about the employer but it is very necessary that when you get interview call, you should gather as much information about the company or organization as you can. You may visit their website and other online resources to know more about them, their business type, their products or services etc. If you know someone already working with that company, ask him about required info.

2. Practice Interviewing

Prepare a questionnaire containing all the expected questions and ask one of your friends to act as interviewee asking these questions. This will probably help you to prepare yourself for interview practically.

3. Dress Well

First impression is the last impression. You should select a decent dress to wear on the day of interview, your nails and hair should be properly cut and your shoes should be clear and polished well. In simple you should look awesome, smart, decent, active and energetic.

4. Keep all the Related Documents

You must have all your necessary documents; degrees, certificates, credentials, experience letters and reference letter etc on the time of interview. Use a suitable documents folder or file to keep documents safe and organize so you can easily find any documents when you need. Bring along a set of extra copies of your resume, a copy of your references and paper to take notes.

5. Be on Time

On the day of interview, you must reach at company office will on time or well before time, if possible. If it is your first time to go that place, know the route, transport availability and estimated time to reach there.

6. Start with Greetings

When you are called inside the room before interviewee or interview panel, ask for permission to come inside the room and greet them with most appropriate words. A firm handshake and plenty of eye contact express confidence.

7. Stay Calm and Look Confident

During interview, you should stay calm and look confident. Never get puzzled or confused. Answer all the questions confidently. And if you don’t know the answer, say that I don’t know. Speak clearly in a confident voice, even though you may feel trembling.

8. Never Tell a Lie

Always speak truth; never tell a lie even in any situation. Don’t tell a lie about your qualification, skills, experience or anything else. Any lie can make your career life worst.

9. Listen Carefully

One of the most deserted interview skills is listening. Make sure you are not only listening, but also reading between the lines. Sometimes what is not said is just as vital as what is said. If you could not hear a question clearly or you want to make it clearer, don’t hesitate to ask it.

10. Say Thank You

Say thank you after the job interview not only is good interview decorum, it also emphasizes your interest in the position. Use your thank you letter, as well, to address any issues and concerns that came up during the interview.
