How to Face Interview - Frequently Asked Questions

1.) If Interview Asks a question and if i dont know the answer,what i have to do?can i say
wrong answer?

If you don’t know the answer fo the question asked by the interviwer , never say wrong
answer.Tak atleast few seconds and say , i am sorry sir/madam , at this moment i haven’t able to
answer you , i will make sure that i will update my knowledge soon.

The above points makes you to present your frankness and your presentation abilities.

2.) What to answer and what not to answer for "Tell me something about you"?

hi,This kind of questions are best answered by focusing on 5 to 6 strong selling points of yours.
when asking this question, the interview is not looking for your history of school work and
employment but kind of giving you a chance to sell yourself in about 60 seconds. Why 60
seconds? Try to limit your answers to 60 seconds as far as possible because if you go on talking
about your past at length then the interviewer might loose interest in you and the interview might
end at that very point. The answer should include your achievements, skills and talents that would
enable you to succeed in the position that is being discussed.Make a short, organized statement
of your education and professional achievements and professional goals. Then, briefly describe
your qualifications for the job and the contributions you could make to the organization.

If I get a better learning oppurtunity & growth, then certainly yes. Otherwise, I have to think how
much it is feasible from organization's point of view.

Well, your current position will still remain open and you have to interview atleast one more
person.It may be difficult for you to find a more dedicated and knowledgable person than myself.

challenging and rewarding work experiance. I thought we had win-win situation.

You should highlight your projects and your experience with other companies if you have worked

which they learn from their respective institutions. so feel industry is a best way for a person to

while answering this question, try to keep yourself on both sides. For example, if the interviewer
asks if you prefer to work alone or on a team, he may be trying to get you to say you are one way
or the other. But you don't have to play this game. The reality is that most jobs require us to work
both independently and in teams. Your response to this question should show that you have been
successful in both situations or (In case you dont find yourself comfy with team work say this) - I
believe in individual work recognition [this would not put your weakness in front of others that
strongly, Remember people who take interviews are super masters, do not fool them]
