What Questions to ask the HR

Few questions you should ask the HR : What kinds of assignments might I expect the first six months on the job? How often are performance reviews given? Please describe the duties of the job for me. What products (or services) are in the development stage now? Do you have plans for expansion? What are your growth projections for next year? Have you cut your staff in the last three years? Are salary adjustments geared to the cost of living or job performance? Does your company encourage further education? How do you feel about creativity and individuality? Do you offer flextime? What is the usual promotional time frame? Does your company offer either single or dual career-track programs? What do you like best about your job/company? Once the probation period is completed, how much authority will I have over decisions? Has there been much turnover in this job area? Do you fill positions from the outside or promote from within first? Is your company environmentally ...

Aren’t you overqualified for this position? - How to Answer

Question 8    Aren’t you overqualified for this position? TRAPS:   The employer may be concerned that you’ll grow dissatisfied and leave. BEST ANSWER:   As with any objection, don’t view this as a sign of imminent defeat.  It’s an invitation to teach the interviewer a new way to think about this situation, seeing advantages instead of drawbacks. Example:   “I recognize the job market for what it is – a marketplace.  Like any marketplace, it’s subject to the laws of supply and demand.  So ‘overqualified’ can be a relative term, depending on how tight the job market is.  And right now, it’s very tight.  I understand and accept that.” “I also believe that there could be very positive benefits for both of us in this match.” “Because of my unusually strong experience in ________________ , I could start to contribute right away, perhaps much faster than someone who’d have to be brought along more slowly.” “There’s also the value of ...

How to Answer - The “Silent Treatment”

Question 6:   The “Silent Treatment” TRAPS:   Beware – if you are unprepared for this question, you will probably not handle it right and possibly blow the interview.   Thank goodness most interviewers don’t employ it.   It’s normally used by those determined to see how you respond under stress.   Here’s how it works: You answer an interviewer’s question and then, instead of asking another, he just stares at you in a deafening silence. You wait, growing a bit uneasy, and there he sits, silent as Mt. Rushmore, as if he doesn’t believe what you’ve just said, or perhaps making you feel that you’ve unwittingly violated some cardinal rule of interview etiquette. When you get this silent treatment after answering a particularly difficult question , such as “tell me about your weaknesses”, its intimidating effect can be most disquieting, even to polished job hunters. Most unprepared candidates rush in to fill the void of silence, viewing pro...

How to Answer - Why are you leaving (or did you leave) this position?

Question 5  :- Why are you leaving (or did you leave) this position?           TRAPS:   Never badmouth your previous industry, company, board, boss, staff, employees or customers.   This rule is inviolable:   never be negative.   Any mud you hurl will only soil your suit. Especially avoid words like “personality clash”, “didn’t get along”, or others which cast a shadow on your competence, integrity, or temperament. BEST ANSWER: (If you have a job presently) If you’re not yet 100% committed to leaving your present post, don’t be afraid to say so.   Since you have a job, you are in a stronger position than someone who does not.   But don’t be coy either.   State honestly what you’d be hoping to find in a new spot.   Of course, as stated often before, you answer will all the stronger if you have already uncovered what this position is all about and you match your desires to it. (If you do not p...

How to Answer- Tell me about something you did – or failed to do – that you now feel a little ashamed of. (Q.no.4)

Question 4     : Tell me about something you did – or failed to do – that you now feel a little ashamed of. TRAPS:   There are some questions your interviewer has no business asking, and this is one.  But while you may feel like answering, “none of your business,” naturally you can’t.  Some interviewers ask this question on the chance you admit to something, but if not, at least they’ll see how you think on your feet. Some unprepared candidates, flustered by this question, unburden themselves of guilt from their personal life or career, perhaps expressing regrets regarding a parent, spouse, child, etc.  All such answers can be disastrous. BEST ANSWER:  As with faults and weaknesses, never confess a regret.  But don’t seem as if you’re stonewalling either. Best strategy:   Say you harbor no regrets, then add a principle or habit you practice regularly for healthy human relations. Example:   Pause for reflection, as if the ques...

Why Should i Hire you? - Compalsary Question by HR

Why Should i Hire you? - Famous and Compulsory Question by HR The key to answering the tough interview question of why should we hire you? is preparation: you need to know what your transferable skills are. Transferable skills are those skills that you pick up in a work or personal environment that you take with you where ever you go. For example, if you have developed a high level of knowledge regarding computing and IT issues, then this is a skill that your next employer will benefit from. Take some time and establish in your head what skills you have in your personal arsenal. These skills make you a valuable asset to any company. The more developed and polished your transferable skills are, the more valuable you are to a company. The other side to your answer comes in the form of relevant experience. Essentially you need to be able to demonstrate that your previous roles have given you the experience to prove you are more than capable of doing the job you are apply...
