Say that your skills and interests, combined with history of getting things done,
makes you valuable.
Mention ability to set priorities, identify problems, and use your experience and ability to

Answering the question, What can you do for us that other candidates cant? I would like to say that
I am a well-rounded individual with a very unique blend of skills. Past training and job experiences
have allowed me to take on and complete projects and assignments of high importance and

increasing difficulty while on time and under budget. And now, I want to be part of your team and
solving problems for you.

See Question 2 for more detail.

You should hire me because I am capable for the job. l agree that there are likely other candidates
who also have the ability to do this job. Yet I bring the additional qualities that make me the best
person for the job- my passion for excellence. I am punctual, dependable and can be counted upon
to finish what I start. I get a great deal of satisfaction from knowing that I have done something well
and on time. I amgud at

Industry experience

Experience in performing certain tasks or duties

Nominal skills

Soft skills

Key accomplishments

Awards/accolades

Education/training

4. What do you look for in a job?

Keep you answer oriented toward the opportunities at the organization.
Talk about desire to perform and be recognized for contributions
Orient your answer toward opportunities rather than personal security

For me to love a job, I need to know that they measure and reward success, and that they value
each individual employees contributions. I also would like to work for a workplace that has a viable
business plan, so that I know I am helping the company succeed in both the short and long term.
Every company will think it values its employees and almost every company will know that it can
stick around for a while. If you are turned down from a job because you want a company that looks
like it will succeed in the long term, chances are you dont want to work there anyway.

5. Can you work under pressure and deal with deadlines?

Observe that both are facts of business life.

Take examples from your list of accomplishments to show how you have
dealt successfully with pressure and deadlines in the past.

Answering the question that can you work under pressure and deal with deadlines I would like to say
that Yes, I work well under pressure. But I believe that by simply reacting to a situation, you are
creating the pressure. Instead of reacting to a problem, I will review the facts at a heightened pace
and respond to the situation with a solution all while keeping a clear head.
6.

What career options do you have at this moment?

You should try to identify three areas of interest, one of which includes this company and job.
The other two should be in related fields.

My career goal as at now is to work with a reputed organization like yours and become an integral
part of the company also to enhance my nominal and communication skills and gain working
experience as well.
7.

How would you define success?

Think in terms of a sense of well-being.
Consider opportunity and responsibility as components of success.

I feel successful when I meet my short term as well as the long-term goals. I try to achieve the set
goals and work hard as much as I can, I try to reach those goals and achieve the desired outcome. I
want to recognize myself as someone with a progressive attitude who does his best and gives 100%
to attain goals. To me success is not just my personal achievements but also by the efforts of the
people around me.
8. If you could choose any company, where would you go?
Talk about the job and the company for which you are being interviewed.

"I wouldn't have applied for this position if I didn't sincerely want to work with your organization." I
know that your company is better and provide better opportunities. I trust your company and flowingly
I am ready to provide my full services and work whole heartedly.
9. What are your long-range goals?
Refer back to the self-assessment phase of your career continuation efforts. Dont answer, I
want the job youve advertised.
Relate your goals to the company youre interviewing for: In a firm like yours, I
would like to .

Id like to become an expert in my position and learn more about this sector of the industry. In the long
term, I want to focus on understanding the industry as a whole so that I can advance to a
management level position. My ultimate goal is to work closely with the companys clientele and over
see major projects.

Feel free to be honest, but be sure to remain as positive as possible. Show that you are excited for
this position as well as your future career in the industry.

10. How long will you stay with us?

Say that you are interested in a career with the organization, but admit that you would have
to continue to feel challenged to remain with an organization. Think in terms of, As long as
we both feel achievement oriented.

As a young graduate it has been always my dream to be a part of your company. So if I am selected,
it will be my pleasure and I assure that I can give you my best. And if you recognize my work and
potential, I will be there with you always as long as you want me to stay in this company.I would like
to work here till my talents are best utilized for the companys growth, if the company still needs me
then there's no way of quitting it
11. What is your management style?
You should know enough about the companys style to know that your management style will
compliment it. Possible styles include:

Task oriented (Problem solving)

Results oriented (Effect on bottom line)

Participative style (open-door method motivating people and delegating)

There are several management styles and all have their advantages and disadvantages. However,
certain management styles work in certain environments.Management style is so hard to put your
finger on, but I think in general a good manager gives clear directions and actually stays pretty handsoff, but is ready and available to jump in to offer guidance, expertise, and help when needed. I try my
best to make that my management style.
12. Are you a good manager? Can you give me some examples? Do you feel that you have
top management potential?
Keep your answer achievement and task-oriented.

Rely on examples from your career to support your statements.

Stress your experience and your energy.

Yes, I would. I believe I'm particularly good at motivating my subordinates. For example, I aim to
align their aims with those of their organization. Once an employee is able to understand and
empathize with the overall aims of the organization, they are normally much more motivated to help
achieve them. I also believe I'm good at getting the best out of people while being aware, of course,
of their limitations. I strive to set challenging but realistic targets and ensure people are treated fairly,
equally and objectively.

13. Do you consider yourself a leader? How?

Take examples from your work experience.

Yes I consider myself as a good leader. A leader is a person who matches resources, opportunity, and
reward. As a leader, I work to set an example, propose plans that convince people to support me, and
demonstrate my proven track record of success. As an effective leader, I believe I can be an essential
asset for your company.
14. What important trends do you see in our industry?
Be prepared with two or three trends that illustrate how well you understand your industry.

You might consider technological challenges or opportunities

Economic conditions

Current competitive situation

Regulatory demands related to the direction in which your business is heading.

The most significant trends is to maintain relationships with client, provide them best services at
earliest, application of new technologies, reach out to remote areas, educating customer the benefits
of banks.
15. Would you describe a few situations in which your work was criticized?
Be specific. Dont be emotional.
Think in terms of constructive criticism
Show that you responded positively and benefited from that criticism.

This is a major problem during working hours in the organization. I learned that principle of
management. Sir, if I know very well about some way to get a success among them, I want to argue
their criticized. But that fault belongs to me, I must accept their suggestion and I can be recognized
myself. I learn from them more.
16. What are your strong points?
Present at least three.
Use concrete, work-related examples to illustrate them.
Try to relate your answer to the interviewing organization and the specific job opening.

My strong points are as follows:

Focus
Be accurate
Be relevant

Be specific
Be prepared to demonstrate

17. What are your weak points?

Dont say you have none. But try to make a negative sound like a strength carried a bit to far.
I sometimes get impatient and become deeply involved when a project is running late.
Dont offer a list of weaknesses
A good interviewer may press you a bit by saying, Is there anything else? You
might answer No, I dont think so on that topic.
If the interviewer persist, come up with a second weakness, but only if you are
asked for it. Dont offer negative information unnecessarily.
Finally, show that you are working to correct your weaknesses.

Its a question meant to make you thinkand think hard. It also requires you to delve deep into your
own inner psyche and do some serious soul searching. I am short tempered. An I am trying to come
upon to improve these weak points.

18. What do you feel this position should pay?

Salary is a delicate topic.

We suggest that you defer tying yourself to a precise figure for as long as you can
do it politely.
You might say, I understand that the range for this job is between $X and $Y. That
seem appropriate for the job as I understand it.
You might answer the question with a question. Perhaps you can help me on
this one. Can you tell me if there is a range for similar jobs in the organization?
If youre asked the question during an initial screening interview, you might say
that you feel you need to know more about the responsibilities involved before
giving a meaningful answer. Here too, either by asking the interviewer or doing
research during your investigation of the company, you can try to find out whether
there is a salary grade attached to the job. If there is, and if you can live with it, say
that the range seems right to you.
If the interviewer continues to probe, you might say, You know I am making $X
now. Like everyone else, Id like to improve on that figure, but my major interest
is in the job itself. Remember the act of taking a new job does not, in and of
itself, make you worth more money.

Sir, being a fresher my first priority is for learning not earning, so salary is not the main thing for me
even though the present economic world only depends on money for that give considerable salary
which will fulfill my expectation.

19. Do you speak to others before they speak to you?

The interviewer is probably trying to determine your ability to deal with unstable or
unanticipated situations.
Say that your actions depend on specific circumstances.
While you wouldnt normally start a conversation with a stranger on the street,

for example, you feel comfortable initiating discussions with people you dont
know in normal business or social settings.

Well. Sir, being a fresher salary is not first priority to me, getting the job is my first priority. But, Sir you
very well have known about that for surviving money plays an important role because after 4-year
engineering I don't want to dependent on my parents. Up till now they looking towards me and now
it's my responsibility to help them. I want salary which will fulfill my economical as well as financial
requirement.

20. You can have a million dollars to launch your ideas best entrepreneurial idea. What is it?
Think about what you are passionate about. What you are good at. Be able to support your idea
with reasons why it would work. Highlight our positive traits such as goal-setting, planning,
ambition and responsibility.

I think that we should do something new for the market and customer. If I have a million dollars to
launch a new business then I should start a new online entrepreneurial idea that is Understand a
niche and set up your own online store.
