5 Common Questions Asked During Job Interviews
1. Tell us something about yourself?
This question specifically asks the candidate to highlight his background, education, skills and experience. Do not narrate the same story, which has already been written in the resume.
2. Why should we hire you?
Here the interviewer wants to know exactly whether the candidate has researched the job he has applied for, and whether he is suitable for the position. It actually tells the interviewer the confidence level of the candidate regarding the position and if can really take the responsibility for the said position.
3. Under what kind of boss do you perform the best?
Here, the recruiter wants to know if the candidate has any role model whom he admires a lot. Be emphatic in telling him that you want a boss who sets guidelines and let you take over the task to complete it yourself.
4. How much salary do you think you are worth?
This is the toughest of the lot. Especially in case of fresher, putting a price tag is a difficult proposition. A good answer might be, “The amount should be based on the contribution I make to the company” or tell him to pay you at the market rate or as per the compensation plan they have for the particular position.
5. Do you have any questions for us?
This is a very tricky question because here the interviewer wants to know how you can be useful for them. You can ask them about any new upcoming projects or how you can play an important part in it or how excited you feel about your job or the new responsibility you are going to handle in future.
