1 ) Introduce yourself !
9 out of 10 times, you will find this as the first question of an interview. Quite surprisingly, over 80% people aspiring for their first interview find this difficult. The basic idea behind this question is to make you feel comfortable. There is nothing tricky in this as the interviewer is giving you space to get your senses together. The most general answer to this question is : I am ABC, currently pursuing MBA from XYZ university. I am currently working with EFG Limited as a Developer. I am currently drawing a CTC of Rs.10,000 p.m. I have done my graduation from .so on. Avoid such kind of answers as this can ruin your first impression. All these details are mentioned in your CV and there is no point on reciting same things again. Another important thing to take care off is Grammar. Avoid using sentences like Myself Mr. ABC, so on. The term Myself Mr. ABC here is grammatically incorrect. Be careful. Take this question as an opportunity to get up close & personal with the interviewer and create a healthy atmosphere for interaction. Infact, one of the earlier posts by Mr. Vaibhav Mittal on How to introduce yourself in an Interview will provide you a complete idea to answer this question. However, an example answer to this could be : I am a fun loving person, who believes in Live life as it comes. I am very fond of classical music and have acquired a professional degree in this also. Playing online chess is my favourite pastime. I believe Internet is the future of human civilization and would love to see myself as a successful Marketing Manager.
4) If in case you are working on bidding for a project which is very important for organization s growth. Will you consider bribing the authority to ensure decision in your favour?
Now its time for a personality test. At the first level, the interviewer wants to test your diplomacy. Be very clear that this question has no connection with your family values or principles. Its just to test your art of handling tricky situations. Every organization wishes to hire people who can think smartly. Thus, avoid giving a Yes or No straight away. The best possible answer to this can be : Sir, I have been brought up in a family with high moral values. I consider my workplace as my family. If an awkward situation arises, I will try my level best to resolve it amicably. However, if it requires me to bribe someone for the well being of my family, I will definitely consider it. By giving this answer, you will surely sink deep inside the mind of your interviewer.
6) What will you do when you come across a whistle blower at your workplace?
After diplomacy and smartness, now its time for maturity. This question is to test your character as a professional. There are many distracting people around you at the workplace. This includes all those Boss Favourites and Office Politicians. The interviewer wants to know how you tackle them. Dont reply with I will go and discuss if there is any personal problem with him. Nobody is interested to share his/her personal life at the workplace. Be careful not to answer this way. Also, avoid answers like I will complain to his/her reporting authority. This answer devaluates your rating as a team man. Just give a simple answer : I will not repent until his/her activities start hampering me or my teams productivity. If the situation goes beyond control, I will kindly bring the matter to the notice of his/her reporting authority.
This shows that you have a malicious track record. Answering in this negative way will surely hamper your chances of selection. Another popular answer to this question is : He is a very good man with exceptional skills. He always encourages me to learn new things. He has helped me a lot to develop my skills and its he who has brought me to this level. Avoid this one too. Dont overemphasize on your boss or else you will be judged as a stooge. If your boss is such an eminent personality than why are you leaving the organization? You will end up in a web of such questions. The best possible answer to this can be : He is an excellent person to work with. Always ready to share his experiences. I have learnt many things from him and will always count on him at difficult situations.
Since you have now evaluated me on all your benchmarks, I believe you would know better if I should be selected for the profile or not. As from my side, my job is my passion and thats a one word summary of my candidature. Remember that an interview is the ultimate gateway to your dream organization. If you are not amongst the few unlucky ones, your interview shall be a 20 minutes interaction with someone who will test your personality & professionalism. Each & every question will check your level & sense of understanding. This concludes my post on How to Crack an Interview.
