Nd my philosophy towards life is dat always hav a desire nd never get satisfied......
You all need to do is to relate your profile with company's job requirement.say more about
your other activities( like ncc, sports, competitions, in plant training.} Other than
studies.since they will ask technical question separately to know about your knowledge. Be
bold. Even if u make mistake be bold to acknowledge. Don't worry u will get a job even
though not this job.be in this mentality to be brave in interview.
I am vinay kumar singh, a commerce graduate from umeshchandra college under cu.i have
worked for pepsi co india holdings pvt. Ltd.(fritolay-division)as an packaging machine
operator for more than 4 yrs. My father is a service man and mother is a housewife.i have two

Perhaps satisfaction is the most important one..,not just the money or work..we may not be
satisfied even if we have the money..but our performance will definitely give us the
satisfaction as wel as the money..so ultimately,we must go for satisfaction and decide which
of our action is going to give us the same..
It is the work or the performance that determine the money.so, for going on the top and for
getting the long-term success you should focus on your work.
13
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
It is the work and the performance of an individual's that determine the success and the
money. So.it will be more benefical for an individual to focus on the work.
It is the performance or the work of an individual's that determine the value of the work. So it
is more benefical to an individuals to focus on the work.
Well, it is a cycle. Money leads to motivation, which leads to hard work, which in turn leads
to more money. (this is true especially for incentive - driven jobs.) So money and hard work
are like the 2 sides of the same coin.
Money and work both are important. We can say that both are two face of a coin. Because we
all do hard work for gain the experience and earn the money for improve our self. And we
can say that both have importance because both are not separate, because without work no
money
This is depend on how the work is some time money comes without anu hard work and some
times hard work gone waste. Over all work and money depend each other
Money and work both have importance. But i think if we do work hard, the money will flow
to us. Such as we all say if we want to get some thing then we have to put some efforts which
help to us improve out inner talent and make bright feature so without work no money
If they are asking tell the one thing among the two we should heartly say money because
without paying money we can't work for them ...at the same time they may be ask ..are you
willing to work without salary? So be honest thank you
Both work and money are important to me, it is the matter of preferance, i will prefer work,
because of work i will be getting money, no work no money, ultimately work harder and you
can gain more and more money.
Well i would like to go with situation , will begin with work and then with the combination of
work & money
Success is more important for the success the money imoprtant for money you should have
good work or a some monopolly in work than u can get easly work or money. So the money
or work is the two side or a coin
Well everyone enter in to the job environment with the intention of earning money but once
you did all the hard work automatically money will follow you.so externally we are working
for money but internally work is very important to us.
Work is important because work gives us peace,satisfaction. If we do hard work then money
will flow to us automatically.everybody in this world
wants peace which can be get by hard work not can be bye with money..
14
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Work is more important than money because, u can get money only 4 your work. Without
work nobody will provide money. Through work anyone can get experience. And this
experience helps himher to earn more money.
If we get money without any work ,than we dont know the value of that money.having money
without knowing its value in waste.
Both money and work are a part of life but money is essential for living .so we are working
for grtting the money only.then i think money is important than work.
Well money is more important than work..because if u target the value of money
automatically u more concentrate ur work..so money will deside ur work....
I think that work and money go hand in hand because unless and untill you give your best
nobody is going to provide you money but once you work hard and perform well, money will
automatically flow to you..above these two things is the satisfaction which matters a lot.if
you are satisfied with d wrk,you ll give ur 100% which is d way to earn money.
Work&money both are important.work is a way by which the money flows as like stream.if
we have no way means no talent to create such type of way then no money flows from
it.work is passion,talent,etc∧ money is our need .work &money both are synonym to each
other at the rate of honesty.
I think for me work is more important because without work u cant earn money but if you
work hard money will flow to you automatically so in my point of view work is more
important than money.
I believe that hard work is more important than money, because without work u will never
get money, so work hard and demand moer money
Both r the two face of one coin. For me both r important. After all satisfation is must required
to do a work , if u will talking about money , a person should not worry about money. If a
person perfom well then ultimately then money can flowes.
Work with money, if you are doing your work honestly then you will automatically get the
money also.
When we choose to the type of the work then we think towards mainly satisfaction at the
work place and also we expect the monry as per our contribution to accomplish the
oranisation gole
I think money & hard work part of eatch other some time you work hard but yoy don't get
money or reward against the hard work.you feel nervious but don't hope less you go to more
hard work than you get money...
Hello sir,
according to me both money and work are very important.with out money we can't do any
thing and also with out work we can't earn money.when we work hard we will get
money.both money and work are the two face of one coin.now a days the people are more
15
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
depended on money.if we have money we get every thing in the word for this we have to
work hard.
Well money and work are not poles apart so following the fact that we are working for
earning no doubt we even wanna to built ourself with a successful career.it should go
simultaneously
As of now work is important to me. It will help to to bring good money and stability in life
that will help me to complete the wants of my family and give them better livings.
If i will get money than i will enjoy my work so both are important for me
Money and work both are important. We can say that both are two face of a coin. Because we
all do hard work for gain the experience and earn the money for improve our self. And we
can say that both have importance because both are not separate, because without work no
money
I think both r important for our life.if u do hard work nd get money for it u will do more
hardwork(u get motivated)and get more money also satisfaction is important.
If u get money without any work i don't think i would get satisfied by it.....
Say something, which does not relate to your current profile and the profile for which you
came. For example: bad handwriting.
I m workaholic.
The weak point should not be relate with your profile and your education by which you have
come in the company for giving interview.
My weakness is that i am too much focused on my world. So i need to get some time for
developing my hobbies and my family.
I am hardworking person.
16
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Never say exactly what is your weak point rather use a term which will signifies your weak
point but its potential in the company like being a workaholic, getting into the work and not
coming out of it unless and until i'll finish that work.
I am emotional.
Since i am workaholic, getting into the work and not coming out of the department unless and
until i will finish that work. Second main important thing is very soon i will react to injustice.
I am a hard worker and result oriented person.. I am expecting same from my team members..
Never say any single weak point which is related to your carrier nor to the interview you've
come for. That may definitely effect your performance in the interview. Nevertheless, if you
feel that you have any, try to overcome henceforth, provided you don reveal the same to any
one.
Say == which does not relate to your current profile and the profile for which you came. For
example: no sing any song..
I sometimes push my people too hard. I like to work with a sense of urgency and everyone is
not always on the same wavelength.
I strive hard to be a perfectionist and expect my team to be the same. If i have assigned a task
to somebody and he/she produces a shoddy work then i loose my shirt forgetting that all
humans are not alike and probably he/ she requires a little more time to learn things
Frankly speaking i do not know what my weak point is. So, that might be a weakness.
I want to tale u my weak point.my weak point is i m littlibit sentimental,i m might type
person
Food is my week point. At times i consume more food that makes me feel sleepy.
Though it is a team work i take too much responsibility when things are really not doing
good.too much responsibility is not good and i am trying to over come and relax myself
I lose patience and go frustrated when i encounter irresponsibility and injustice in the society.
I ignore the world till i achieve perfection in an activity or work.
17
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
When m in work .. I need all my group members working hard or as much as me..
Actually, i cant take decision very easily on big issues (deal), so i have need time to think....
My weakness is that,i m not frank with new people ,so they may get irritated sometimes.& i
don't like lazy people in the team to work with.
Frankly told that i don't know what is my weak point, but from my experience,can't say no to
anyone i think it's my weakpoint

satisfaction. After 5 years, if i would looking into the mirror i should be feel proud what i
have done in the past for my organisation or for my family.
The best answer to this question is staying away from negative aspects of your life. If you
answer this question it should look like a positive thing even though you quote it as your
weakness. For example, you can say that sometimes you stick with your work till it is
completed 'coz you can not leave it pending or you can quote as looking for the minutest
details in the work as your weakness. Your answer must sound positive to the employer
though you quote it as a weakness. 2. You can say that you do not have any particular
weakness that you remember.
I dont think there is any weakness in me that would affect my ability to work.
Your weak points are just the things that you don't do very well. For example, you might be a
slow typist, or easily distracted.
25
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Brooding over a matter too much. I can not sleep at night if something goes wrong.
Sometimes that type of seriousness is not good.
When anynew work is assign to me,i forget all others things around me at that time
In interviews candidate should not tell the weak points.why because some of the companies
are not considered the weak points.this is my opinion.
I always say yes to all for all work,use to say no is one my weakness which i feel.
I can expect my team members can also work hard like me.this is my weakness.
We can say like this.i am a workalholic.it means untilor unless my quality of work is not
complete.i contuniosly doing the work.
My biggest weakness is my friendly nature of sharing my personal details and flow with
emotions of others
Everytime i am in very hurry.so,i don't get my desired result sometimes but maximum time i
get 100% output in short time.
I am little more talkative girl. Talkative means if any one come and ask any doubt regarding
any subject matter or work, until they get clear i wont leave them in that esteem i am a
talkative girl
I will not give up the work until it finish. May be its strength for the organization but in my
point of view, professional shall be know the multitasking rather hanging in single work.
I am a peoples person, i.e i consider other peoples interest before mine.from this the
professional will know you are a team player and multitasking.
Well, people says that i am a less-speaker. Actually i speaks only when needed. So i think
this may be my weakness.
I get a little bit distirbed and tensed when assignments are not carried out time bound.
I think my my week point is my honesty speech,then still hard working this is my opinion
I don't think about there is any week point in me as well as i don't think about the negative
points and always i am a positive thinker and a proactive person.
My parents are my biggest weakness and this weakness of mine is my biggest strength too..
26
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
I think my my week point is my honesty speech,then still hard working this is my opinion
You can state something that will tell the employer that there will be no constrain for the job
because of this weakness, as you can say that i am very fond of delicious food and shopping.
Weak point,that mean things that i cant do will,things can be barrier to successes.say
somethings you did in the bast to overcome some of this weak point and how you turn it to
strength point
Side note - if you sent the resume, rather than went on a recommendation from a friend, it
would be obvious you sent it to other places as well.
Yes sir, i applied for jobs including jindhal , bhel , ecil . & iam very happy that i attend this

company.
How to tell that reasons for changing another company.pls mail me the answer
Ya .i applied for many organization... But i give first preferance for your company .. Bcoz of
i saw your website.. There briefly say about your organization. Its there i am very much
inspring that..
27
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
When you know about something and say yes i know the answer is 'confidence' and when
you don't know the answer and still try to answer the question is 'over confidence'.
Confidence is when you say "yes i can so this job" over confidence is i only can do this job"
Confidence means when we perform the implementation of the any particular things(exam
given,any interview..etc)at first time we only know i can do this so, this is confidence.over
confidence means we says to every body this things i & i can performed well than others this
is over confidence.
There is a very quite difference confidence is that i can do. Over confidence is that i only can
do.
If one has the confidence he can work with group or single.
And more confidence makes person stand, overconfidence collapse the person
Confidence means believe in yourself and if you make any mistake by skipping simple
known rule/things it was over confidence.
A person is confident when he know the fact better, a person is overconfidence when he think that he
know the facts better than others.
Confidence means i can do it & over confidence means only i can do it.
Confidence is when we are aware of the procedure/details to perform a task & over
confidence is even after knowing the sop we end up making a blunder of it
Confidence is totally positive word while over confidence is negative one.it shows ur
negative attitude towards anything
"i can do any particular work well manner" is my confident when others says "i can only have
a capable of do that particular work" is a over confidence
Suppose i say that i will surely clear this interview. Had i prepared well for the same, it shows
confidence. Otherwise, its over-confidence.
There is very little difference between confidence and over confidence, when we say that, "i
can do this" it is called confidence but when we think and say that "i am the only one who
can do this" this is over-confidence.

Hard working :- hard working comprise skills which are accomplished through physical
capabilities
smart working :- smart working requires mental capablities to get the work done
Hardwork means when u dont use your brain & do the work in the traditional way as all hav
done earlier putting all your efforts whereas smartwork includes creative approach ,some
40
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
initial study over the work assigned,using new ideas or may be some shortcuts &achieving
your goals.
Hardwork :without thinking new ideas continue the work with old ideas
Hardwork to me is interpreting everything step by step as it is told to you with out being
creative.as smart working is gathering all info of tasks needed to be done and using your
creative mind to process an approach to have the job done at a shorter time.
Hard work done with phical capability and smart work done with skills.
Hard work mean dedication and smart work mean dedication with inner intelligence
The difference is nothing but the effort which we put in to accomplish the task. The abscense
of physical effort is the main advantage of doing a smart work. Also the amount of work
which we do by smart work is always way ahead than doing hark work...
1.hard work is the conventional way of performing a task which includes both physical as
well as mental strain
2.smart work is the work which is finished on time with less resources used but with a lot of
creative thinking behind. It includes the love towards a job
Hard work never fails. The more harder u work the more luck u get. Requires lot of physical
activity
But in another case the more harder u work the more smart one can become.
Hardwork means working but not getting desired output and smartwork means working with
some logic and skills to get best output.
In hardworking, the person have the capacity work hard even if he is not capable for it. At
this time he is ready to work to achieve his target with inadequate knowledge. But in
smartworking, person apply his own skill which can help the organization to progress & feel
the person unique for his abilities. These are my thoughts....
Hard working:- it is the way in which i can give my max. Effort to achieve my predetermined
goal.
Smart working:-it is the way in which or when i can use my hard work potentiality to achieve
my target.
smart work :- z to a (arrive with results first and work on that later)
41
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
You can answer this question by simply giving the example.a labour's work is hard work
where there is only physical strain.where as a designer's job is smart work with full of
innovative ideas.
Smart work is to know from where and how to get the work done rather than doing all the
work.
Hardwork is physical work that do not use any new thing but smart working we should use
mind & new idias.
Hard work is the hidden form of work on the other hand smart work is that type of work
where we apply both internal mentality and techniques to achive accomplishment.
In my opinion hard is when we apply our full efforts and our full energy in our work whereas
when we use our energy and when we apply our efforts on the right time on the right place is
known as smart work. In smart work we wait for the right time to use our efforts in the right
way but in hard work we dont think this... We think that every time is right.
Take an example..using small buckets to harvest rain water is hard work,as it comprises more effort
and time..
On the other hand using large reservoir to preserve water is smart work,as same task is being done
with better idea and effort..
But smart work is not substitute of hard work..they go hand in hand..
First we have to love the work what we do. Doing the work with love is said to be smart
work. Doing the work without love is said to be hard work.
With out loving work a small work also becomes a big and hard work.
In simple words hard work is to go at the top storey with the help of stairs and smart work is
with the help of lift. Lift can't work at the failure of electricity but stairs will always be
workable.
Smart work means saving money energy and time and working with new idea and other that
working with this all thats means hard work
Hard work is time taking work and the smart work is the time saving work

HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Learning from your own mistakes and performing a job/task is attributed to hard work while
learning from others' mistakes and seek perfection with less effort can be referred to smart
work.
According to the type of work the activities differs.for example. If you take agricultural work
their smart and hard work is very necessary.whatever may be the activities you r doing smart
work is very effective than hard working.in smart works mental health will be defined.
Hard work is done through physical capabilities where as smart work is done thruogh mental
capabilities.
Hard work means doing work with hard..smart work means enjoying the work with out any
stress..
Hardwork means did u know skills priorly after that u enter into the tsk,then u follow same
process with physically tolerance
smartwork:it means innovative approach like decision making process.
Hard work :- more physical strain less mental strain = work done. (same path of work)
smart work :- more mental strain less physical strain = work done.(different path of work in
short time)
Hardwork is dedication or doing work without intention about result... But smart work always
start with intention about result
Hardwork not only includes physical strain but also includes mental strain .
The best example i can give u is chatur's work is harwork(mugging up everything) whereas
rancho's work is smart work...hardworking is a part of a life ......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It should have healthy environment to work with in a well established company. It can give a
better platform to improve our skills and way of working which will be more effective for
growth of the company and for our growth too.

48
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
You can also use this question to shatter any stereotypes that could limit your chances.
If you?Re over 50, for example, describe your activities that demonstrate physical
stamina. If you?Re young, mention an activity that connotes wisdom and institutional
trust, such as serving on the board of a popular charity.
But above all, remember that your employer is hiring your for what you can do for him,
not your family, yourself or outside organizations, no matter how admirable those
activities may be.
What is on roll?
The person who completed their training period the thir become on roal staf his ctc &
position & designision become changes
Example: it’s been a good life, rich in learning and experience, and the best it yet to
come. Every experience in life is a lesson it its own way. I wouldn?T change a thing.?
My sisters are really close to me because they are always guides me to the best and
encourage me to work more efficiently
49
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Be prepared to give examples of how their words, actions or teachings have helped
inspire your achievements. As always, prepare an answer which highlights qualities that
would be highly valuable in the position you are seeking.
If you?Re vague about your career and personal goals, it could be a big turnoff to may
people you will encounter in your job search.
Be ready to discuss your goals for each major area of your life: career, personal
development and learning, family, physical (health), community service and (if your
interviewer is clearly a religious person) you could briefly and generally allude to your
spiritual goals (showing you are a well-rounded individual with your values in the
right order).
Be prepared to describe each goal in terms of specific milestones you wish to accomplish
along the way, time periods you?Re allotting for accomplishment, why the goal is
important to you, and the specific steps you?Re taking to bring it about. But do this
concisely, as you never want to talk more than two minutes straight before letting your
interviewer back into the conversation.
My goal is to achieve the targets day to day and enhance my skills to improve my carrer
to the highest level and will be beneficial to the company progress.
Example: ?I think every sales manager finds it challenging to motivate the troops in a
recession. But that?S probably the strongest test of a top sales manager. I feel this is
one area where i excel.?
50
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
?When i see the first sign that sales may slip or that sales force motivation is flagging
because of a downturn in the economy, here?S the plan i put into action immediately??
(followed by a description of each step in the process?And most importantly, the
exceptional results you?Ve achieved.).
Instead, describe the rational, methodical process you would follow in analyzing this
problem, who you would consult with, generating possible solutions, choosing the best
course of action, and monitoring the results.
Remember, in all such, ?What would you do?? Questions, always describe your process
or working methods, and you?Ll never go wrong.
If you?Re not working, you can talk about other employment possibilities you?Re
actually exploring. But do this with a light touch, speak only in general terms. You don?T
want to seem manipulative or coy.
51
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Example: ?Making money is very important to me, and one reason i?M here is because
i?M looking to make more. Throughout my career, what?S been even more important to
me is doing work i really like to do at the kind of company i like and respect.
(then be prepared to be specific about what your ideal position and company would be
like, matching them as closely as possible to the opportunity at hand.
I can see myself as a ceo .. I think every day is something special to learn something
new .. So definitely i ll be a ceo after 10 years..
Why do you like to join this company? & what would you do
for the growth of this company?
I like to join this company because the annual turnover is around is $16 millon.this
company is manufacturing steel and glass sheet and i can learn more from this
company.i can get the good knowwwledge for the future aspect. Sir this company
contain the plc based system which is used in this company. Sir first of all see the
52
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
production growth of this company from 2004-2005.from this production i can extend
the growth the production for some extend,which would increase the economic
growth.sir i will access the instrument which is used in this company, kepping the
maintenance and realibility of the instrument so that thre is no harm to the instrument
and the process is maintained
For this question, you should answer about the positive aspects of the company,along
with your professional competency matching with the profile comapny is looking for
But all things considered, you take responsibility for where you are, how you?Ve gotten
there, where you are going?And you harbor no regrets.
Example: ?After i floated down from cloud nine, i think i would still hold my basic belief
that achievement and purposeful work are essential to a happy, productive life. After all,
if money alone bought happiness, then all rich people would be all happy, and that?S not
true.
?I love the work i do, and i think i?D always want to be involved in my career in
some fashion. Winning the lottery would make it more fun because it would mean having
more flexibility, more options...who knows??
?Of course, since i can?T count on winning, i?D just as soon create my own destiny by
Sticking with what?S worked for me, meaning good old reliable hard work and a desire
to achieve. I think those qualities have built many more fortunes that all the lotteries put
together.? Ya definitely, as am not working only for the money. I choosen this type of
job is to create something innovative with my ideas and to reveal my name to the
society with my effort.
How many hours a week does you normally work?
If you are in fact a workaholic and you sense this company would like that: say you are
a confirmed workaholic, that you often work nights and weekends. Your family accepts
this because it makes you fulfilled.
If you are not a workaholic: say you have always worked hard and put in long hours. It
53
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
goes with the territory. It one sense, it?S hard to keep track of the hours because your
work is a labor of love, you enjoy nothing more than solving problems. So you?Re
almost always thinking about your work, including times when you?Re home, while
shaving in the morning, while commuting, etc.
Have you been absent from work more than a few days in any
previous position?
If you have had no problem, emphasize your excellent and consistent attendance record
throughout your career.
Also describe how important you believe such consistent attendance is for a key
executive?Why it?S up to you to set an example of dedication?And why there?S just no
substitute for being there with your people to keep the operation running smoothly,
answer questions and handle problems and crises as they arise.
If you do have a past attendance problem, you want to minimize it, making it clear that
it was an exceptional circumstance and that it?S cause has been corrected.
To do this, give the same answer as above but preface it with something like, ?Other
that being out last year (or whenever) because of (your reason, which is now in the
past), i have never had a problem and have enjoyed an excellent attendance record
throughout my career. Furthermore, ibelieve, consistent attendance is important
because?? (pick up the rest of the answer as outlinedabove.).
?From what you?Ve told me so far, the areas of greatest concern to you are?? (name
them. Then do two things. First, ask if these are in fact his major concerns. If so then
reaffirm how your experience in meeting similar needs elsewhere might prove very
helpful).
54
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Of course, no one is perfect and you always welcome suggestions on how to improve
your performance. Then, give an example of a not-too-damaging learning experience
from early in yourcareer and relate the ways this lesson has since helped you. This
demonstrates that you learned from the experience and the lesson is now one of the
strongest breastplates in your suit of armor.
If you are pressed for a criticism from a recent position, choose something fairly trivial
that in no way is essential to your successful performance. Add that you?Ve learned from
this, too, and over the past several years/months, it?S no longer an area of concern
because you now make it a regular practice to?Etc.
Another way to answer this question would be to describe your intention to broaden your
master of an area of growing importance in your field. For example, this might be a
computer program you?Ve been meaning to sit down and learn? A new management
technique you?Ve read about?Or perhaps attending a seminar on some cutting-edge
branch of your profession.
Again, the key is to focus on something not essential to your brilliant performance but
which addsyet another dimension to your already impressive knowledge base.
Human beings are the main asset of the organization.. And this will help to identify the
qualified persons to generate more profit for the organization and also got a chance to
meet with different qulaified persons which create an interesting environment to learn
new things because no one is perfect in this world...
I think it is a very interesting field in which one can meet with different qualified
persons,share the ideas and create a new interesting enviornment to learn new things
for the employees.by thisprocess one can help the organisation with innovative minds.
Right from the beginning of my pgdbm program/ , i was strict to choose human resource
as my specialization. I wanted to get expertise into this field. Then i attended several
workshops during the program. Then after going to these workshops, i came to realize
the actual concept of human resource.
And i found that my skills, value and personality matching very closely with this field. I
can do better perform here either choosing other field.
55
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
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 question never occurred to you. Then say to hr,
?You know, i really can?T think of anything.? (pause again, then add): ?I would add that
as a general management principle, i?Ve found that the best way to avoid regrets is to
avoid causing them in the first place. I practice one habit that helps me a great deal in
this regard. At the end of each day, i mentally review the day?S events and
conversations to take a second look at the people and developments i?M involved with
and do a double check of what they?Re likely to be feeling. Sometimes i?Ll see things
that do need more follow-up, whether a pat on the back, or maybe a five minute chat in
someone?S office to make sure we?Re clear on things?Whatever.?
?I also like to make each person feel like a member of an elite team, like the boston
celtics or la lakers in their prime. I?Ve found that if you let each team member know you
expect excellence in their performance?If you work hard to set an example
yourself?And if you let people know you appreciate and respect their feelings, you wind
up with a highly motivated group, a team that?S having fun at work because they?Re
striving for excellence rather than brooding over slights or regrets.?
I have chosen my career in hr field because this makes me to mingle with people more
easily and also i can understand there needs and wants easily.
Say which color is pleasant and which makes peaceful and deliver success. Eg: blue,
green..
My favorite color is white because it gives me peace and positive attitude towards life.
56
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
My qualities of being innovative and flexible to adapt changes . These qualities makes
me a good asset for your company
My abilities to learn new things,my proactive approach and most importantly is to knw
the value of team player
Example: ?After my job was terminated, i made a conscious decision not to jump on the
firstopportunities to come along. In my life, i?Ve found out that you can always turn a
negative into a positive if you try hard enough. This is what i determined to do. I decided
to take whatever time i needed to think through what i do best, what i most want to do,
where i?D like to do it?And then identify those companies that could offer such an
opportunity.?
?Also, in all honesty, you have to factor in the recession (consolidation, stabilization,
etc.) In the (banking, financial services, manufacturing, advertising, etc.) Industry.?
?So between my being selective and the companies in our industry downsizing, the
process has taken time. But in the end, i?M convinced that when i do find the right
57
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
match, all that careful evaluation from both sides of the desk will have been well
worthwhile for both the company that hires me and myself.
Prior to any interview, you should have a list mentally prepared of your greatest
strengths. You should also have, a specific example or two, which illustrates each
strength, an example chosen from your most recent and most impressive achievements.
You should, have this list of your greatest strengths and corresponding examples from
your achievements so well committed to memory that you can recite them cold after
being shaken awake at 2:30am.
Then, once you uncover your interviewer's greatest wants and needs, you can choose
those achievements from your list that best match up.
As a general guideline, the 10 most desirable traits that all employers love to see in their
employees are:
Intelligence...management "savvy".
Good fit with corporate culture...someone to feel comfortable with...a team player who
meshes well with interviewer's team.
Confident...healthy...a leader.
58
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Example: ?My whole management approach is to hire the best people i can find, train
them thoroughly and well, get them excited and proud to be part of our team, and then
work with them to achieve our goals together. If you do all of that right, especially hiring
the right people, i?Ve found you don?T have to fire very often.
?So with me, firing is a last resort. But when it?S got to be done, it?S got to be done,
and the faster and cleaner, the better. A poor employee can wreak terrible damage in
undermining the morale of an entire team of good people. When there?S no other way,
i?Ve found it?S better for all concerned to act decisively in getting rid of offenders who
won?T change their ways.?
How do you define success?And how do you measure up to your own definition?
Give a well-accepted definition of success that leads right into your own stellar collection
of achievements.
59
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Example: ?The best definition i?Ve come across is that success is the progressive
realization of a worthy goal.?
As to how i would measure up to that definition, i would consider myself both successful
and fortunate??(then summarize your career goals and how your achievements have
indeed represented a progressive path toward realization of your goals.)
Whether your interviewer asks you this question explicitly or not, this is the most
important question of your interview because he must answer this question favorably in
is own mind before you will be hired. So help him out! Walk through each of the
position?S requirements as you understand them, and follow each with a reason why
you meet that requirement so well.
Example: ?As i understand your needs, you are first and foremost looking for someone
who can manage the sales and marketing of your book publishing division. As you?Ve
said you need someone with a strong background in trade book sales. This is where i?Ve
spent almost all of my career, so i?Ve chalked up 18 years of experience exactly in this
area. I believe that i know the right contacts, methods, principles, and successful
management techniques as well as any person can in our industry.?
?You also need someone who can expand your book distribution channels. In my prior
post, my innovative promotional ideas doubled, then tripled, the number of outlets
selling our books. I?M confident i can do the same for you.?
?You need someone to give a new shot in the arm to your mail order sales, someone
who knows how to sell in space and direct mail media. Here, too, i believe i have exactly
the experience you need. In the last five years, i?Ve increased our mail order book
sales from $600,000 to $2,800,000, and now we?Re the country?S second leading
marketer of scientific and medical books by mail.?
Every one of these selling ?Couplets? (his need matched by your qualifications) is a
touchdown that runs up your score. It is your best opportunity to outsell your
competition.
60
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Maitaining good relations with the co-workers by sharing work and team building will
increases output and reduces stress
I wud do tat hard work in a smartest possible way...which reduces stress upto certain
leve;
Very important is good communication skill & body language,confident answers for all
questions,talking like friendly without tension
Your interviewer doesn?T care a whit about your previous boss. He wants to find out how
loyal and positive you are, and whether you?Ll criticize him behind his back if pressed to
do so by someone in this own company. This question is your opportunity to
demonstrate your loyalty to those you work with.
Examples: if you are a reserved person and/or the corporate culture is coolly
professional:
?I?M an even-tempered and positive person by nature, and i believe this helps me a
great deal in keeping my department running smoothly, harmoniously and with a
genuine esprit de corps. I believe in communicating clearly what?S expected, getting
61
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
?If anyone or anything is going off track, i want to know about it early. If, after that kind
of open communication and follow up, someone isn?T getting the job done, i?Ll want to
know why. If there?S no good reason, then i?Ll get impatient and angry?And take
appropriate steps from there. But if youhire good people, motivate them to strive for
excellence and then follow up constantly, it almost never gets to that state.?
If you are feisty by nature and/or the position calls for a tough straw boss.
?You know what makes me angry? People who (the fill in the blanks with the most
objectionable traits for this type of position)?People who don?T pull their own weight,
who are negative, people who lie?Etc.?
I think being a fresher it wil really be a good threshold for me to enter into corporate and
learn new things practically
62
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Being a fresher it will really be a good thresold for me to enter into this organisation and
i can begin new role
What would you say to your boss if he?S crazy about an idea,
but you think it stinks ?
Remember the rule stated earlier: in any conflict between values, always choose
integrity.
Example: i believe that when evaluating anything, it?S important to emphasize the
positive. What do i like about this idea??
Then, if you have reservations, i certainly want to point them out, as specifically,
objectively and factually as i can.?
After all, the most important thing i owe my boss is honesty. If he can?T count on me for
that, then everything else i may do or say could be questionable in his eyes.?
But i also want to express my thoughts in a constructive way. So my goal in this case
would be to see if my boss and i could make his idea even stronger and more appealing,
so that it effectively overcomes any initial reservation i or others may have about it.?
Of course, if he overrules me and says, ?No, let?S do it my way,? Then i owe him my full
and enthusiastic support to make it work as best it can.?
63
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
As a result, you?Ve learned to adapt quickly to whatever is thrown at you, and you
thrive on the stimulation of new challenges.
To further assure the interviewer, describe the similarities between the new position and
your prior one. Explain that you should be quite comfortable working there, since their
needs and your skills make a perfect match.
Why are you leaving (or did you leave) this position ?
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.
Never lie about having been fired. It?S unethical ? And too easily checked. But do try to
deflect the reason from you personally. If your firing was the result of a takeover,
merger, division wide layoff, etc., so much the better.
But you should also do something totally unnatural that will demonstrate consummate
professionalism. Even if it hurts , describe your own firing ? Candidly, succinctly and
without a trace of bitterness ? From the company?S point-of-view, indicating that you
could understand why it happened and you might have made the same decision yourself.
Your stature will rise immensely and, most important of all, you will show you are healed
from the wounds inflicted by the firing. You will enhance your image as first-class
management material and stand head and shoulders above the legions of firing victims
who, at the slightest provocation, zip open their shirts to expose their battle scars and
decry the unfairness of it all.
For all prior positions:
make sure you?Ve prepared a brief reason for leaving. Best reasons: more money,
opportunity, responsibility or growth.

HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Best sources for researching your target company: annual reports, the corporate
newsletter, contacts you know at the company or its suppliers, advertisements, articles
about the company in the trade press.
Drawback: this strategy is better than admitting a flaw, but it's so widely used, it is
transparent to any experienced interviewer.
Best answer: (and another reason it's so important to get a thorough description of your
interviewer's needs before you answer questions): assure the interviewer that you can
think of nothing that would stand in the way of your performing in this position with
excellence. Then, quickly review you strongest qualifications.
Example: ?Nobody's perfect, but based on what you've told me about this position, i
believe i' d make an outstanding match. I know that when i hire people, i look for two
things most of all. Do they have the qualifications to do the job well, and the motivation
to do it well? Everything in my background shows i have both the qualifications and a
strong desire to achieve excellence in whatever i take on. So i can say in all honesty that
i see nothing that would cause you even a small concern about my ability or my strong
desire to perform this job with excellence.?
Alternate strategy (if you don't yet know enough about the position to talk about such a
perfect fit):
instead of confessing a weakness, describe what you like most and like least, making
sure that what you like most matches up with the most important qualification for
success in the position, and what you like least is not essential.
Example: let's say you're applying for a teaching position. ?If given a choice, i like to
spend as much time as possible in front of my prospects selling, as opposed to shuffling
paperwork back at the office. Of course, i long ago learned the importance of filing
paperwork properly, and i do it conscientiously. But what i really love to do is sell (if your
interviewer were a sales manager, this should be music to his ears.)
This is the most dreaded question of all. Handle it by minimizing your weakness and
emphasizing your strengths. Stay away from personal qualities and concentrate on
professional traits: "i am always working on improving my communication skills to be a
more effective presenter. I recently joined toastmasters, which i find very helpful."

HR INTERVIEW Q & A
You have never allowed yourself to grow bored with a job and you can?T understand it
when others let themselves fall into that rut.
Example: ?Perhaps i?Ve been fortunate, but that i?Ve never found myself bored with any
job i have ever held. I?Ve always enjoyed hard work. As with actors who feel there are
no small parts, i also believe that in every company or department there are exciting
challenges and intriguing problems crying out for energetic and enthusiastic solutions. If
you?Re bored, it?S probably because you?Re not challenging yourself to tackle those
problems right under your nose.?
Example: ?Good human relations would call for me to go directly to the person and
explain the situation, to try to enlist his help in a constructive, positive solution. If i
sensed resistance, i would be as persuasive as i know how to explain the benefits we can
all gain from working together, and the problems we, the company and our customers
will experience if we don?T.?
68
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
I have a high commitment for my future, i wll do my job with the same exilence. And my
goal is...
Remember that if you?Re coming from a company that?S the leader in its field or from a
glamorous or much admired company, industry, city or position, your interviewer and
his company may well have an ?Avis? Complex. That is, they may feel a bit defensive
about being ?Second best? To the place you?Re coming from, worried that you may
consider them bush league.
This anxiety could well be there even though you?Ve done nothing to inspire it. You must
go out of your way to assuage such anxiety, even if it?S not expressed, by putting their
virtues high on the list of exactly what you?Re looking for, providing credible reason for
wanting these qualities.
If you do not express genuine enthusiasm for the firm, its culture, location, industry,
etc., you may fail to answer this ?Avis? Complex objection and, as a result, leave the
interviewer suspecting that a hot shot like you, coming from a fortune 500 company in
new york, just wouldn?T be happy at an unknown manufacturer based in topeka,
kansas.

HR INTERVIEW Q & A
Answers:
Express your concern that you’d like to keep your job search private, but that in time, it
will be perfectly okay.
My present employer is not aware of my job search and, for obvious reasons; i?D prefer
to keep it that way. I’d be most appreciative if we kept our discussion confidential right
now. Of course, when we both agree the time is right, then by all means you should
contact them. I’m very proud of my record there.
Remember from question 2 that you should commit to memory a list of your greatest
and most recent achievements, ever ready on the tip of your tongue.
If you have such a list, it’s easy to present any of your achievements in light of the
quality the interviewer is asking about. For example, the smashing success you
orchestrated at last year? Trade show could be used as an example of creativity, or
analytical ability, or your ability to manage.
The person who is negligible and dishonest to the work, and who will always be an obstacle
to the others in the company.
I don't like the people who can't dare to think higher and may discourage the team.
I dislike those person who don't dare to face challenges and who always interrupt others
while work
If aggressively pressed to choose between two competing values, always choose personal
integrity. It is the most prized of all values.

HR INTERVIEW Q & A
In every life change is constent so, i want to be work under this organizetion
I want to change for my growth and also to learn and gain more knowledge as your company
is a brand name in this.......field.so, obviously i have more options to learn here and to
increase my potential.
108.give an answer with an example how i should answer for tell about yourself? Answers:
What should i answer if my interviewer asks me about my short and long term goals.tell me with
some example?
The short term goal is what u wants to be at present and the long term goal is what u wanted
to be in future ie., may be after 5 or more years or less.
For ex, suppose u r trying in it based on development side, then u can say ie., for present, that
u want be a software programmer or .net developer and for future, u can say to be the project
leader/manager or at the top position in it.
For the short term goals you can say that at present i want to start my career with a reputed
company like yours.or you can focus on something on non technical part like you want to
learn guitar..etc
for the long term goal you can say that you aim high and look to become group leader or
project manager or occupy some good position in the organzation
Short goals: means present goals which you can collect to fulfill your long term goals.
Example : you want to learn asp.net, and new technologies and get experience in that. So that
u can achieve long term goals
71
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
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.
There’s also the value of all the training and years of experience that other companies have
invested tens of thousands of dollars to give me. You’d be getting all the value of that without
having to pay an extra dime for it. With someone who has yet to acquire that experience, he’d
have to gain it on your nickel.
I could also help you in many things they don’t teach at the harvard business school. For
example (how to hire, train, motivate, etc.) When it comes to knowing how to work well with
people and getting the most out of them, there’s just no substitute for what you learn over
many years of front-line experience. You company would gain all this, too.
From my side, there are strong benefits, as well. Right now, i am unemployed. I want to
work, very much, and the position you have here is exactly what i love to do and am best at.
I’ll be happy doing this work and that’s what matters most to me, a lot more that money or
title.
Most important, i’m looking to make a long term commitment in my career now. I’ve had
enough of job-hunting and want a permanent spot at this point in my career. I also know that
if i perform this job with excellence, other opportunities cannot help but open up for me right
here. In time, i’ll find many other ways to help this company and in so doing, help myself. I
really am looking to make a long-term commitment.
Note: the main concern behind the overqualified question is that you will leave your new
employer as soon as something better comes your way. Anything you can say to demonstrate
the sincerity of your commitment to the employer and reassure him that you’re looking to
stay for the long-term will help you overcome this objection.
No sir/madam,
i think i m very well qualified for this position.
72
HR INTERVIEW Q & A
He should have a positive attitude, care-taking person, try to understand and solve the
employee's problems. Should appreciate the work done by an employee even if it is trivial.
By doing so, the qulaity of work by that employee will be raised.
If already hr called you by your name, so never start from your name,start from where you
belong, then educational background, technical qualification, family, interest, experience,
career objective, strength, achievement....

This will often be a 5-10 mins session where u might have to talk about yourself and the
skills u bring on board.
Then mostly the person who is interviewing u will talk more than u. So be empathetic
Consider it part of the work of your job search to read up on a few of these leading books.
But make sure they are quality books that reflect favorably upon you, nothing that could even
remotely be considered superficial. Finally, add a recently published bestselling work of
fiction by a world-class author and you?Ll pass this question with flying colors.
No,not at all. Empty mind is devil's home.rather than retiring ,i will prefer to give my
knowledge
to freshers of your company in traning.
