Q1. How Long Can You Commit To Work With Us?
I like new challenges and a chance to grow. As long I keeping
getting these, I don’t think
I’ll need to switch ove
Q2. You Seem To Be Drawing A Good Salary. Will You Be Ok In Taking A
Salary Cut?
I believe that at one point of time in career salary becomes
secondary and self actualisation become more important. While taking up any new
job, it will be my priority to ensure that the work culture, chances to
contribute and grow are sufficient along with the money I am paid. I also
believe that any good company who cares about its employees ensures that they
are paid well.
Q3. Assuming That You Are Selected, What Will Be Your Strategy For Next
60 Days?
If I am selected for this position, I’ll use my initial 60 days in
understanding my role carefully in terms of the contribution to the business
and increasing the overall profitability. I’ll sit with my line manager and
other juniors to understand what has already been done and what its impact has
been. From there on, I’ll formulate my strategy to growth in close conjunction
with managers and see that it is properly implemented.
Q4. How Would You Improve Upon Our Product/ Company?
Since I’d be coming from an altogether new environment, I am bound
to possess a new perspective towards everything here including the company,
product, customers, environment, strategy etc. This will enable me to
constructively question things which anyone else here might not do. This will help
in improving the things and making the product & company better.Having
worked closely with product development team I understand how the research for
product development is carried out and how is customer requirement analysed;
I’d be able to provide a value addition there too.
Q5. Can You Work Independently?
Yes, I can work independently without supervision or support from
a team
Do not emphasize on working independently as that will be seen as
an inability to work with others.
Q6. What Is More Important To You Money Or
Success?
This is tricky question, as money and success both are important
and you cannot outweigh the importance of one over the other. Personally you
might prefer money over success or success over money, but it is better to be neutral
when answering this question in an interview:
You can say, that money and success both are important for you,
but if you have to choose you would choose success. The reason being, if one is
successful money often follows and you need not focus on money over success
Q7. What Are Your Greatest Strengths?
Number of answers are good to
give, but in positive manner. Some good instances are:
About your problem solving skills, ability to work hard,
professional expertise, leadership skills, positive attitude etc.
Q7. Do You Have Any Blind
Spots?
Disguise your strength as a weakness. Beware this is an eliminator
question, designed to shorten the candidate list.
Q8. May I Contact Your
Present Employer For A Reference?
You can say that you have no objection for this but express your
concern that it would be better if you could do it after arriving some sort of
agreement.
You can even be honest in stating that your present employer is
not aware of you hunting and you would appreciate to have any contact with them
after having arrived some sort of agreement.
Q9. What Was The Toughest
Decision You Ever Had To Make?
Be prepared with a good example, explaining why the decision was
difficult, the process you followed in reaching it and the courageous or
effective way you carried it out.
Q10. Is There Anything That You Do Not Like About
Your Last Or Current Job?
I was quite enthusiastic while joining my last job. Towards the
end, the number of challenges and opportunity to grow further started
diminishing. A challenge loving and growth oriented person like me doesn’t
enjoy this.
