which is invested in the way of Capital is used for procurement of Assets.
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders Equity

The company has to pay for buying assets by either borrowing (liabilities) or getting it from shareholders (shareholders' equity). So
that make sense that both sides get equals.

A loss to the firm is considered as an Asset not as a Liability, because there is no need to pay or return the money to anyone. It is
assumed as amount to be recovered back(or Expenses) in the concern soon, so it is considered to be an Asset.

About Yourself

Always answer which grabs the interviewer attention, let that be even negative also, don't worry, because you are creating some
impression rather going numb. Later on going you can change the interviewer impression if you created a negative impression
earlier. There are few examples I provided for this question.

Here there are few more answers which can create an impression in the interview.
Perhaps you should begin by telling you why you have chosen to apply for this job at this stage in the career and outline how the
experience in your current and previous jobs related to the post you applied for.

You can start by telling something about the course you have completed, what you have gained form it and how it links with your
plans for the future.
May be even you should start by telling one or two of the more unusual things you did, and what you think you have learned
from it and what you have to offer to this post. (make sure the unusual things should be particular to work projects, experience
or other interest you got)
You can even begin by describing the sort of person you are, or at least how friends and colleagues would describe you and a
supporting point of your behavior to those description.

I believe the position you're offering would allow me to continue to develop my problem-solving skills and I feel I could contribute
skills and experience that would be of value to you'

What are your strengths?

Interview Question: What is your Greatest Achievement and Strength?

What are your weaknesses?

Do a simple analysis about yourself, and figure out what are you strength first. Post those as weakness, this is the strategic move.
Always use you strength as weakness, for example, I say writing is my weakness, even for a job which need Writing reports is the
highest preferred skill. Supporting it I say that's the reason I started a blog 2 years before to overcome it. Now the interview is
diverted what blog is it? What do you write? How is the response? You have cracked half the interview.

Why do you want this job?

Never be desperate and at the same time not overconfident, in fact be desperately determined.
It not wrong, if you hide the truth sometimes. Never reveal your actual financial backup, that would give wrong signals. Put yourself
in normal, moderate situation.

Where would you like to be in your career five years from now?
Say that you want to climb the ladder, and reach the next possible position in the organisation, which would give hint to the
interviewer that you want to stick to the company.

Possible Goof-ups: Want to start my own company, Want to be the VP/CEO of a company etc

What's your ideal company?

You can list your requirements. But to be at safe side, say which provides balance of work and life to its employees.

What attracted you to this company?

Of course Salary... is that in your mind.. Don't reveal it.

Highlight the positive things about the company (for example Brand, working culture, career growth, training practices of the
company, your personal attachment towards it etc)

Why should we hire you?

Because I am unemployed.... I used this answer in an interview to make the interviewer smile.

It always better to take the interview on the lighter side, and humorous. But some times it doesn't work.
Highlight how different you are, for eg., with a example of how quick learner you are, and how you can do justice to the role than
other who sitting outside the hall.

What did you like least about your last job?

The answer absolutely rest with you!

When were you most satisfied in your job?

On 1st day of the month, when I get my salary credited to my account.
Tell when you get the first appreciation from you boss for you work.
When you met your first target.
When you handle the most critical task and completed successful.
Reached a new heights in your job. etc

What can you do for us that other candidates can't?

Same as Why should we hire you?

Why are you leaving your present job?

Just I require a change is the most common answer an interview listen. If you want to stand out in the crowd say I am happy with
my present job, but my learning are getting limited to a particular task or I want to enter the next level of my learning.

17. Why should we hire you? You can state that you are hardworking and can be smart and confident in
your work. Give positive answers about yourself for this question. But, never try to compare yourself with
the fellow applicants to show you are the best.

18. What are your strengths? You can point out your strengths like I am a good listener and observer, I
can handle work with patience and you can also state that I am compatible and flexible to anyone. But,
give these answers only if you can act as per your words.

19. Why did you leave your last job? Even though, you might be angry with your previous boss or
previous co-workers and this was the main reason why you are looking for a new job, do not state this as
the reason. You can state that you wish to work for a new boss and new environment and wish to meet new
colleagues. You can also state that I am looking for a job with more responsibilities.

20. What are your weaknesses? Even though, you are asked about your weaknesses, you should never
give answers that would spoil your selection process. You can give answers like I will never feel
comfortable, until I complete the work allotted to me. You can state your straightforwardness and smiling
face as your weakness and so you cannot say no to other when a help is asked.

21. Tell me about yourself. Here, you can follow two different approaches of answering. You can tell your
past personal story and get out with a sap. The second approach is that you can tell about your education
and past employments and remember that common wisdom suggests the latter to be ideal.

22. Tell me about your dream job. You should never be specific here. Rather, you should be generic like
great atmosphere, friendly colleagues, etc...

23. Describe your management style: You can tell that I wish to motivate and inspire teamwork for
achieving goals and for influencing valuable changes. You can also state that you are open to new ideas
and constructive criticisms. You can also state that I can identify the skill set of each member in my group
and will accordingly delegate the responsibility as a team leader.

24. What is your philosophy toward work? The best idea to answer this question is to avoid adjectives.
Rather, you can talk about the basic values that you have adopted in the past jobs or you can also talk
about the energy you brought to your earlier job teams to improve the performance.

25. Do you consider yourself successful? Your answer to this question should undoubtedly be
affirmative. You can state that success does not mean to conquer the world and can describe your past
accomplishments and the proud moments in your professional life.
