Recently , during one of my workshops, I was asked by a few people to tell them what were the most common interview questions and how they should go about it . This blog post is dedicated to them and all job aspirants preparing for interviews .
- Are you aware of the role and the responsibilities of the job you are applying ? Elaborate
- What are your current responsibilities and duties ?
- Describe your typical work day
- Which areas do you like the most about your current job and what do you like the least ?
- Describe a problem which you have faced at work and what did you do to encounter it ?
- Suppose you could not handle a problem yourself, what would you have done ?
- Are you proud of any aspect of your current job ? Tell us about some accomplishments at work .
- Why do you think that you are suited to the job you have applied for ?
- What has been your greatest disappointment so far ?
- How has this changed your view towards work and life ?
- I see that you have switched jobs quite often. What are the reasons for your instability ?
- Why do you want to leave your current organization ?
- What do you think about working in teams ? What works and what does not ?
- What do you like the best about work on a team and what is the least ?
- How do you see yourself after 5 years ? What are your long term goals ?
There are no right or wrong answer.... but in case someone wants to know what I would have answered to any of these question, put in your remarks and I will respond !
Cheers !
