Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a co-worker who wasn't doing his/her fair share of the work. What did you do and what was the outcome?
Correct Answer
I worked closely with Shilpa who, for the most part, always carried her fair share of the work load During a stressful time, working on a project with a deadline, I realized Shilpa's contributions to the project were almost minimal I made the decision to wait until after the project to speak with her I'm glad I did, because I learned she'd been going through a very tough time in her personal life and she appreciated my willingness to go the extra mile so the project was completed on time As a result, our ability to work well together significantly increased
Correct Answer: Another seemingly safe interview question, this is certainly a good opportunity to stand out and put your passion for and connection to the organization For example, if you found out about the gig through a professional contact or friend, name drop that person, then share why you were so excited about it If you hear the company through an article or event, share that Even if you found the listing through a random job board, share what, particularly, caught your eye about the position
Correct Answer: I have always been able to perform and keep a competent work schedule that allows me to work with the same number of hours per week Certainly, when I am working on a particularly important or difficult project, I am happy to hardly increase those hours to produce my best work
3. If you had the chance to start your career over again, what would you do differently ?
Correct Answer: This depends on several factors Different Individuals have different answers for it You can answer as - " I will most likely be involved in a different but still related career path; something to do with the creative side If I were to start over I would attempt to get myself to specialize in one area as a young man It?s very interesting to follow one?s interests all at the same time, but you don?t get anywhere very quickly this way By pursuing lots of interests all at the same time, it takes a long, long time to acquire professional level skills"
4. Where do you expect to be working in five years?
Correct Answer: Why are they asking? The interviewer wants to find out the following: -How committed are you to the career and the company -How much do you understand about the career path ahead of you -How passionate are you Approach Research the job and the organization structure and relate your career plan and progression with the job posting and progression of the company Eg I would like to work hard and grow with the company to a respectable position with additional challenges and responsibilities and contributing to success of the company Please don't give these answers "Doing your Job" "Working somewhere else" "No idea" "I haven?t thought that far ahead" "Have a family"
5. Describe a stressful situation and how you handled it?
Correct Answer: The interviewer wants to know how you will deal in stressful situations by asking this question Sample answer: I react to situations rather than being stressful I want to make the situations not to be stress for anybody If a situation seems overwhelming, I mentally break it up into smaller steps and just focus on reaching each one on the way to accomplishing the larger task Once I had a situation that in the same week i had to submit two projects which is very pressure to me As i was skilled in multiple tasks, i just break down all the works i have in to smaller assignments and just worked one by one to complete the whole task By this way i handled my stressful situation and submitted my projects within the due time Ofcourse, such situations helps me to stay motivated and productive
Correct Answer: Most recently, we had a new hire (Prakash) that was really struggling with getting to work on time, and I knew the boss (Dan) was getting irritated Over lunch one day I explained to Prakash how important it was to our boss for everyone to be there at least 10 minutes early It was personal with the Harry, but you could really get on his bad side when you were frequently late The new employee was grateful for the advice At his previous employment, the boss was only concerned about the work getting done on time; he/she did not "watch the clock"
7. Have you ever hired anyone? Why did you choose them?
Correct Answer: If you have hired one or more people during your career, your answer might go something like this: " Yes, I have hired peopleI have also decided whether some internal applicants were right for jobs in my department The first time I hired someone ,I concentrated on checking off all the right qualificatiosI just went down a checklist Since then,though, I've learned that some candidates who became excellent workers didn't necessarily have every qualification on that checklistThey more than make up for what they lacked in the beginning with enthusiasm and a willingness to work with others" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you've never hired anyone? Show the interviewer you appreciate that he or she is trying to evaluate both your management potential and people skills,and try something like this: "Not realy,but on several occasions I was asked to speak to prospective applicants and offer my opinion Ofcourse , in those cases, I was trying to determine whether that person would be a team player and if he or she would get along with the other people in the department"
8. Describe a Situation Where You Disagreed With a Supervisor ?
Correct Answer: Standard interview tips and techniques still apply Do not speak negatively about any supervisors, coworkers or former jobs It is acceptable to share a specific situation that occurred with a former boss, but do not go into detail about the disagreement Focus instead on what you did to help the supervisor see your point of view You may be asked a follow up question, such as ?Did they ultimately see your point of view?? Be honest Did they follow your advice or didn?t they? The answer is not as important as the presentation Do not sound bitter in your response if they did not ?They did see my point of view They chose a different path, but they understood my concerns and beliefs in the end?
Correct Answer: Inspiration is powerful, but it isn?t easy If you want to be a positive influence, capable of inspiring your loved ones to become better versions of themselves, please consider these: - Be a good example - Read them - Care about others - Encouragement - Be inspired yourself - Share your own experience - Share your success as well as your failures - Be a good mentor - Make them to trust you
Correct Answer: There are many things you can say This type of question doesn't have a wrong answer All answers will be correct So the best answer is how good you can make the answer A mediocre answer will be something like completing a project on time You can say this, but add another twist to make the answer a little better Here is an example Short Answers : "To me, success means to have a goal, plan the steps to achieve the goal, implement the plan, and finally achieve the goal" "Success means to produce high quality work before the deadline" "Success to me is knowing that my contributions positively impacted my company" Long Answers : "Success to me means completing a task and when looking back, thinking I couldn't have done it better To succeed is to complete a task or assignment on time in an excellent manner But that's only half of it The results should be good and the people involved should gain a valuable lesson or experience For example, if it was a group project, and only two people out of four really did the work, I wouldn't call that success If everyone participated and worked together providing a valuable deliverable then it's a success So I think both the result and the process should be great to call something a success" This answer is showing that you believe in delivering great quality work Moreover, it is implying how much you value team work If you value teamwork highly, then it is safe to assume that you would make a great team player
