You Need To Know

• College and university students often fear this
  or have already experienced this. It is the fear
  of interview and how to pull in an interview with
  utmost confidence? Even when you have experienced
  interview, attending an interview for a family
  run business or a small organization can be
  different from attending an interview in a large
  organization or a multinational corporation.

• The 5 Big Interview Questions That You Need To
  Know

1. Tell me about yourself

• This is the first and foremost question that you
  come across in any interview. Most interviewees
  hate this question because they cannot understand
  exactly what the interviewer needs to know about
  you.
• In fact, this is an opportunity to present
  yourself in most honest manner with your
  achievements and proud moments either in your
  last job or during your education. The
  interviewer also wants to know whether or not
  your experience will fit or education background
  will fit into the position. So, you need to focus
  on your experience, your specialization in a
  particular field and also highlight your special
  training or technical skills that you possess.
• Also, the question doesnt mean that you start
  with your childhood memories, high school or
  college experiences, your first job experiences,
  etc. No, the question requires your professional
  experiences presented in the right manner. An
  example of this can be, I have 4 years of
  experience in selling various electronic
  appliances for a huge retailing giant. Ive won
  awards on several occasions and have stood as the
  Best Salesman for 4 months in a row.

2. Why are you interested in this role

• This is next important question that most
  interviewers will ask you regardless of whether
  youre a fresher or not. The real purpose behind
  this question is to check whether or not you are
  really interested in the job or you are attending
  the interview just to pass time or just for the
  sake of it.
• If you are really interested in the job, then you
  should be able to check the job requirements and
  apply your experience or education or candidature
  to the position at hand. Put it this way, you
  must convince the interviewer that you are the
  best candidate for the job. Of course, dont
  overdo it, as interviewers are not idiots and you
  are not performing a magic trick like David
  Blaine.

3. Why are you looking for a new opportunity
right now

• This is another sure shot question that every
  interviewer would ask an experienced candidate.
  The answer to this question lies within your
  previous job. Your experience at your previous
  job and the circumstances of you leaving your job
  are mostly involved. The circumstances can be
  differences with your previous manager,
  performance or compliance issues with your
  previous company, quitting the job on good terms,
  etc. Each of the explanation can place you
  differently in your interviewers perspective.
• For example, leaving due to differences with
  manager can mean that you have an issue with
  authority. Leaving due to performance or
  compliance issues also mean that you clearly have
  an issue with authority and you are not good at
  your previous job. Leaving on good terms is the
  best bet for you because, it shows that you have
  done your job well and are looking for a more
  challenging role.

4. What are your strengths

• This is a tricky question that most interviewers
  ask. A good answer to this you note down the
  qualities required for the job at hand and note
  down your qualities. And present the like
  qualities to the interviewer. 
• Most people answer this question at a very
  personal scale like my mom is strength or my
  dad is my strength. Well the interviewer is
  definitely not looking for such answers and
  giving such answers will only mark you down.

5. What are your weaknesses

• This is another tricky question which every
  interviewer would love to ask the candidates.
  This question is perhaps the most unanswered or
  wrongly answered question. While some candidates
  try to answer by saying that he or she is a
  workaholic. But, subsequent questions about how
  you being a workaholic and that quality is a
  weakness can leave you stumbled and fumbling. 
  So, try not to answer the question like this.
  Here the interviewer is trying to break the ice
  much further.
• All the above questions were just tip of the ice.
  With this question he wants to know the real you.
  And it wouldnt be advisable to really discuss
  your weaknesses. Everybody knows that every
  person is not perfect and have weaknesses. So,
  the best way to answer this question is to talk
  about a professional weakness which is at present
  unrelated to the present job. For example, if
  your job doesnt require you to meet people or
  speaking to a large group of people, then you
  could say that, well, Ive always had a fear of
  speaking to large audience. I never got an
  opportunity to face my fear in my last job. But
  then, I am attending certain classes where it is
  taught how to speak to a large group of people.
  So, in this way, you can avoid such a tricky
  question and yet answer the question.

• Of course, these questions are not complete
  questions that every interviewer asks. Mostly,
  the questions asked in an interview depend upon
  the way you are answering the questions. Your
  answers will bring out new questions in an
  interview. So, be very careful about answering
  questions, your references and also about your
  qualifications.
