I was interviewed for Allahabad Bank and have been selected as a PO..:)

The interview went quite good. Questions ranged on my specialization IN HR, Indian Banking

Scenario, About RBI and its functions; and Economic Scenario of India.

A couple of questions were there on Mathematics and Few questions were on my hobby.

It continued for almost 15 minutes.

How to prepare for Interview ? Perhaps,this is a regular question asked by candidates selected in
written tests conducted by banks & government organizations. Interview sessions are considered
tough by many,as it involves speaking out.Here are some commonly asked questions in Interview &
methods to answer them.
Question : Tell /Describe about yourself ( you will be asked this 90% )
Answer : Don't recite your resume.Tell about your education, experience, projects worked ,passion
etc.,Make sure you complete this within 2-3mins.

Q: Why should we hire you into our organization

A : This would be perfect time to tell about your strengths,achievements & assets. Compare your
profile with the job role & justify that you will be a best fit for the job. Answers like ‘This is a best
company’ , ‘I want a job in this field’ wont impress the interviewer.posted at www.bankexamsindia.com

Q : What are your strengths & weakness ?

A: Again this is also a commonly asked question to test how much you know of yourself.Make sure the
Strengths you say have some relation to the job you applied.
’I am very good in english’ can be said as ‘I have good communication skills’ .

Weakness - ‘I don't have any weakness’ means you are not ready to talk about it.Similarly don't say
something like, ‘Im short tempered & get angry very soon’ – It gives an impression that you are not fit
to work in group.Say something which does not affect the working & also describe about the steps
taken to overcome that.

Q: Where do you see yourself after 5 years ?

A: This question would be asked to check how much you know about the career path.
‘After 5 years,I want to be in your seat’ wont work in any case.Think realistically, understand the
growth opportunities of that job & put it across to them.
