which included Marketing, Sales, Graphic Design, Events

but he, unfortunately, missed a deadline. When I

Eventually, we decided to speak to our AVP about how
important and time-consuming this project was. The AVP
agreed and ended up assigning other designing projects to
another graphic designer. This took pressure off my team
and then we focused on our priority. Later my designer
apologized for the blow-up and his behavior. He also
thanked me for my help.”

Possible Answer:
“No I don’t.”
Play safe with this answer while you face your HR interview
questions and answers round. If you have an offer letter already,
keep it a secret till the salary negotiation stage comes up. There, you
can negotiate your remunerations on the basis of your current drawn
package and also the offer letter that you have. You can negotiate
with all the three organizations at this stage (your current
organizations, the company that issued an offer letter and also the
company with which you interviewed) and finally select the best
possible option. In case this strategy conflicts with your personal
theories and beliefs, you can frame your answer, as shown below.
“I’ve been talking to ABC company for the past 15 days, but
it is not final yet. I am interested in working with them, but
I’m still not sure. Is there something you know about
company ABC that you can share with me?”

for us?
The purpose of this HR interview question and it’s answer is tricky
and most of the interviewees these days fail to give an appropriate
answer. Your interviewer wants to find out if you have relatives,
friends or acquaintances working for the organization. From a
psychological point of view, they want to know if you already have a
mentor within the organization. So it is recommended that you
frame a positive answer while facing your round of HR interview
questions and answers.
