stressful situations in the work atmosphere.

thinking.

• What is your name? Why did your parents
select this name specially for you?
• Don’t tell a complete story behind your
name. End up by saying something like
“No any special reason as such, but may
be my parents have considered the
beginning letter to select my name.”
• What will you do if your boss shouts at you
for any reason?
• I will have to calm him down so as to help
maintaining the decorum of the office. May
be because of any untoward incidence
boss goes under stress. I will try my level
best to bring the situation to the normal
level, irrespective of whether I have made
some mistake or not.
"If you caught a colleague cheating on
his expenses, what would you do?"
• Complaining will not solve the problem. So
I will suggest the decision maker to modify
the system to prevent the cheating.
• Why did you leave your previous job?
• I am sure that I will get better career path
in this organization with reference to the
web site and other reports of the company
in news papers, magazines etc.
• What is the similarity in boss and monkey?
• It seems to be very informal question. So I
would prefer to be informal. So according
to me monkey gets benefited from the
quarrel between Cats (Ref. Story) and
boss makes his position by settling the
disputes between subordinates.
• Why should we hire you?
• I am confident, honest and hardworking. I
am ready to accept challenges. I have the
requisite qualification and experience for
the position. So I feel that there would not
be any reason for not giving me this
opportunity to prove my abilities resulting
in the benefit of your organization.
• What is the characteristic of dog similar to
that of any boss?
• (Smile) Please allow me to be informal for
answering this informal question. I would
say, “Both shout at you in the beginning,
but once you prove your identity they trust
you”
• Your resume suggests that you may be
over-qualified or too experienced for this
position. What's Your opinion?
• I feel that in modern business world the
seniority is related also with your
performance not only with qualification or
experience. I am ready to make my career
in such a professional atmosphere which
is available in your organization. I am very
open minded person with learning attitude.
• As per your application this job is the
golden chance for you then you will be no
where if you don’t get this. Isn’t it?
• Immediately I may feel nervous, but see
failure to get this job will be the first step
for me towards success. Also I will keep
my candidature open for your organization
in future. As I like to maintain relations.
• Why don’t you go for self employment?
• I personally feel and also I have gone
through some psychometric tests where
the results show that I can be a good
intrapreneur as I can use my creativity in
very effective way for masses if I work for
others.
• If we don’t allow your own ideas to be
implemented in the job then would you
leave the job?
• I am sure that I can please the
management with my performance and
creativity to such an extent that
management will certainly find my ideas
very practicable and beneficial for the
organization. Also I am mature enough to
understand the difficulty in implementing
the new ideas, so there is no question to
run away by quitting the job.
• If you get good career path here then
would you work with us till your
retirement?
• Certainly, its my pleasure provided if you
really allow me to do so.
• What is more important: bicycle or
motorcycle?
• Both are important in different phases.
Bicycle is very important to set proper
balance but in the next phase motorcycle
is important to speed up. Thus in business
you may begin slowly but you have to
speed up for faster growth.
• Do you feel more comfortable to work with
female / male employees? Why?
• No it doesn’t affect on my work, because I
take proper care to deal with male and
female employees by giving them proper
respect. I don’t allow the gender difference
to make anybody feel inferior or superior.
• What would be your action if you don’t like
your boss?
• Pl don’t misunderstand, but I have that
ability to judge people. So I will consider
this aspect before accepting the job. After
accepting it becomes my commitment
towards job where I must adjust with the
situation and try my level best to make
conditions the most favorable.
• What if you are asked to work for
hospitality of your MD as no staff was
available?
• MD of my company is just like a God for all
the employees. Would anybody mind to
serve god? That’s it.
Can you justify that you are a successful
person till date? How?
• I have always tried to be optimum efficient
in my assignments. I have achieved
reasonable success in my academic
career. I am getting good job
opportunities. Even this interview itself is a
step ahead for me. Thus I feel satisfied
about my success as I am continuously
improving.
• What is the similarity between boss and
crow?
• Both are very intelligent and efficient in
monitoring.
• (Note : Always try to answer positively,
though the question may suggest you to
answer in funny or naughty way. Pl don’t
make a mistake to become funny or
naughty)
• What would you do if honesty is becoming
obstacle in completing your task?
• I would never ever compromise with
honesty. It is a part of my commitment to
my employer. I strongly believe that
dishonesty always results in disaster.
• How will you manage if you want to go to
celebrate your spouse’s birthday and your
boss orders you to work till night?
• I always focus on my career and
professional commitments. Even I never
allowed my parents to come in the way of
my studies. Same way I would take care to
make my spouse to have proper
understanding about deciding priorities.
• Do you drink? Why? If not now would you
like to drink occasionally?
• I don’t drink. I am against any kind of
addiction as it reduces our efficiency and
also reduces our life.
• (Note: Pl don’t say I drink occasionally or
Yes, I drink. That will degrade you and
your family)
• How will you manage your personal work
during office time if you have outdoor
duty?
• Normally, I don’t like to bother anybody for
my personal work. So I don’t see any such
possibility. In case of urgency or
emergency interpersonal relations and
proper communication can easily find out
the way.
