When u apply for a job and you’re called for an interview,there are various questions that are asked and the better prepared u are ,the more successful your interviewed would be.well,u might have come Arcoss various videos online talk about the most common interview questions and answers.this is a little different,because it’s not just about the questions and answers to talk.we are gonna explain that what exactly the interviewer thinks.when he’s asking certain questions.what exact answers he’s looking at and what are the common mistakes u usually do,the first common question that is asked by the interviewer is,so tell me something about yourself or he or she might ask that run me through your CV?Now here the interviewer is not really interested in ur answer.what they are looking at is your confidence your enthusiasm and passion that ur answer with.so it’s the best time that u show off ur communication skills.Now usually I have observed that many people end up saying Ahh,I love watching movies,I think I love partying.I have so many friends.so I really partying.No,that’s not the right way that u answer to this question.what u need talk about is ur education,where u grew up or u can answer talk about ur past work experience.if u have any any personal and ur personal interests.for example,u can say ,ahh well I grew up in France and I studying accounting.I also worked for a accounting firm about eight months and I really enjoy numbers,so maybe that’s exactly the reason,I love to solve them .solving them is so much fun,and in my spare time,I really like reading and also go out jogging only if the weather allows me too.so that is the way u would answer to this question.The second most popular question that asked by an interviewer is ,what are your strengths?Here the interviewer is looking at how positive,u think about urself,it’s quite a general question,there’s no right or a wrong answer to it,but if u give one liners such as,oh,I’m a very friendly person ,I love being with people and people love being with me ,that just doesn’t sound great for an interview,isn’t it ?so what I can say is strongest trait is attention to detail,I totally believe in planning and execution ,in fact even when I was in college,I used to really organize my week and many people because of my very outgoing nature .many people have said I am quite approachable.so I believe these are my strength.the third most questions that is asked is ,so what are ur weaknesses? This question u need not be really negative about urself.I have heard people say,That I get angry easy,that’s Not right answer,maybe that is ur weaknesses,but u need -not bring it out,the best answer to this,because this interviewer is looking at whether u can identity your weaknesses and how u can cover it up,so one of the example to this question is ,I think my weakness is that I am way too detail oriented.I try to accomplish everything and I just want everything to be perfect,but I realize that I’m losing out on time,so maybe that makes me submitting the project pretty late,so I think that is one of the weaknesses.so here basically,what u are doing is, u are displaying that maybe,u run out of time,but u also give a very positive aspect to it that u are perfectionist .That is exactly what we saw a strength in the previous question too,so I think this is one of the best ways that u can answer to this question.the next common question that is asked is,where do u see urself in five years from now or the interviewer might also ask that what are ur long term or ur short term goals? I’ve see people really struggle to answer this question,well,maybe,you,yourself have no idea.where u would like to be?so usually end up saying,oh ,I would like to own be the CEO of this company or I would like to own an airline.that doesn’t sounds right.so what a good answer to this question would be,because here the interviewer is looking at,how committed you are gonna be to this company?A very clear part would be commitment because u know the attrition rate these days?so he want s to know how long would u stick to the company?so one of the best answers that u can give ,would be,five years from now,I think I would like to be a management position,till then,I would like gain a practical experience and then eventually become a manager.of course,I would like to share and also learn a lot of new things from my team members.The next most popular question that is asked is ,so tell me something about our company or what do u know about our company?Now here the interviewer of course,have knowledge about his own company that he is working for,but what he is looking at is weather u are seriously about this job or not?whether you have just come for one of those radom interviews?so many people are usually let down,because lack of researchers about the company,so what u need do is research.Go on online learn about the positive attributes about the company.learn about their products their history and etc.so one of the best ways u can answer to this question is ,oh,well,your company is very well-know for the customer services and you also won an award for the best service provider in the country,and also,u also have a great clientele,so that’s one of the best ways u can answer to this question.Sixth common question that is asked is ,How we’ll do u handle a change?well,the philosophy behind this question is to know would u be able to cope up with a change .because companies definitely come up with different strategies.employees come and go.would be able handle that ?people usually end up saying .of course ,I am great at handling a change.trust me the interviewer would not be impressed with these answers.How u can answer to this question with an example?would be,well,of course I can handle a change,because my previous company,one of our bosses,one of our immediate bosses had to quit and there was this new boss,who came in and he has completely changed our strategy of a project,so of course,I am very flexible and hardworking too,so we managed it with our team efforts and definitely the results were pretty good.The next common question that is asked is ,How well do u work under pressure?Now the reason behind this question is the employer or the interviewer wants to know that do get really stressed out ?Do u get really panicked under pressure?because these days companies,of course,expected u take more and more responsibility,and of course,a greater work load.so the best way to answer these questions is ,well definitely working under pressure or without pressure works just the same for me.In fact ,one of the company that I was working ,there was a project that was given to us,which hard to be complete in four days.which usually take ten days and the whole time is like so stressed out,they panicked and they just didn’t know what to do,but then ,I ensured they settled down.we prioritized our work and in fact in A very organized manner ,we completely the project.of course we also worked late nights,but definitely helped to submit our project in four days.so I think working under pressure is not too bad for me,so this is one of the best ways that u can answer to this question.The last common question that asked is,How do u handle important decisions?Now the reason behind this question is usually,If someone or the interviewer is hiring the person or hiring you for a management position,or for a lead position.He want to know someday that when u have to handle a very important ,very critical decision,How would u do that ? So many people end up saying .you know what I really haven’t come across,I really haven’t dealt with such difficult situations.That is not right answer.One of the best answers that I can help you with is ,you can say,handling decisions is definitely considered to be a little difficult,but I am sure I can do it,because my experience,I would rely on my experience,I would also weigh on the pros and cons.of-course,I would also take some advice from my team members and I am sure that would help me to come on a decision,we will also look at the consequences of the decisions .so definitely I can go ahead and make decisions .
So that brings me to the end of this lesson.I hope all of these questions and answers are helpful for ur interview.And if u are going for an interview.wish u all the very best .
