Most asked Interview Questions


This interview questions I got when I was doing my master. It is helpful if you will be serious about it.

Why Should We Hire You?
Summarize your experiences: "With six years' experience working in the IT industry and my proven record of working with clients, I could make a big difference in your company.

Why Do You Want to Work Here?
The interviewer is listening for an answer that indicates you've given this some thought and are not sending out resumes just because there is an opening. For example, "I've selected key companies whose mission statements are in line with my values, where I know I could be excited about what the company does, and this company is very high on my list." 

What Are Your Goals?
Sometimes it's best to talk about short-term and intermediate goals rather than locking yourself into the distant future. For example, "My goal is to contribute in a growth-oriented company. My long-term goal will depend on where the company goes and on my responsibility” 

What Are Your Weaknesses?
This is the most hearable question of all. Handle it by minimizing your weakness and emphasizing in your strengths. Stay away from personal qualities and concentrate on professional characteristics, "I am always working on improving my communication skills to be a more effective presenter. I recently joined Toastmasters, which I find very helpful." 

When Were You Most Satisfied in Your Job?
The interviewer wants to know what motivates you. If you can relate an example of a job or project when you were excited, the interviewer will get an idea of your preferences. "I was very satisfied in my last job, because I worked that directly with the customers and their problems.”

What Are Three Positive Things Your Last Boss Would Say About You?
It's time to pull out your old performance appraisals and boss's quotes. This is a great way to brag about you through someone else's words: "My boss has told me that I have handled the customer without any help. And tell how you handled the performance tuning in project etc.”

Why are You Leaving Your Job?
If you're unemployed, state your reason for leaving in a positive context: "I managed to survive in three rounds of corporate cut off, but the third round was 30 percent reduction in the workforce, which included me."
If you are employed, focus on what you want in your next job: "After two years, I made the decision to look for a company that is team-focused, where I can add my experience." 

What Salary Are You Seeking?
It is to your advantage if the employer tells you the range first. Prepare by knowing the going rate in industry, and your bottom line or walk-away point. One possible answer would be: "I am sure when the time comes, we can agree on a reasonable amount. In what range do you typically pay someone with my background?"
