## Focus more on talking about your achievements and learning
## Keep it short

Q2. What are your strengths (Key Skills or Key Strengths) and weaknesses?

Tips:
## Never brag about the strengths and skills that you cannot justify.
## Always elaborate your strengths and weaknesses with some quick examples.

I totally believe in planning and execution in fact when I was in college I used to lead a
group working on social welfare like free education to poor students, spreading
awareness. Because of my outgoing nature & initiative many people have said that I am
quite approachable I believe these are my strengths.

OR

I am a good team player and I enjoy working under pressure, I belong to lower middle
class family so since schooling I have been supporting my family by doing part time
jobs…providing tuitions and working on vacations…

As far as weaknesses, I feel that I am way to detail oriented and I try to accomplish
everything. I just want everything to be perfect, and then I realize I am losing my time
that makes my project pretty less.

Q3. What are your hobbies?
## Avoid sharing hobbies that can give a bad impression such as gambling
## Sharing a mix of personal and professional interests shows you a balanced person
in life.

So, how not to answer the question “What are your hobbies and interests?”

The following answers will hardly add any points in your favor. Besides, they are not
great hobbies to brag about.
## “I’m very sorry, I’m not sure I have any hobbies.”
## “I love to collect books but hardly read any of them.”
## “I am a foodie!”
## “I party with my buddies every Saturday night.”
## “I love to watch movies with my friends.”
## “I am a PUBG XP level 28 player.”
## “I like to Netflix and chill!”

For any fresher (non-technical or technical)


“I am a sports addict and just love playing any sport. But ……. has been my all-time
favorite. I wouldn’t boast of my skills in the game, but I am the captain of my college’s
team. It is not just my hobby, but something that’s close to my heart. As I keep
practicing constantly and indulge in weekly-matches, all the workout sort of helps me
stay fit and focuses better at all other tasks like studying and driving. So, I would
definitely count basketball as my hobby.”

short.

instances to validate your points.

“Being a fresher, I keep my mind open to every necessary thing that is to be learnt for
the enhancement of the growth of the organization and self. I strongly believe it is more
like a mutual benefit and cooperation accord between me and the organization,
wherein I gain the knowledge and the company gains the reputation with time along
with increase in revenue.

“I am positive and determined towards achieving mine as well as the company’s goals.
I will be committed and dedicated to my profession and deliver the best, while

should not settle for anything less than the best.” It sounds immature and
unprofessional.

job at both the ends.

can simply answer to accept the package as per industry standards. This leaves much
scope for the negotiation at the time of final offer letter.

research, I have figured out that job roles like this one are generally paid in the range of
Rs ……to….will be a good starting salary for me in this organization..
