HR Manager

It’s important to evaluate whether the team and hiring manager will be able to elicit the best work from the candidate if hired.

List down points that will help you professionally:

☛ Independent

☛ Responsible

☛ Hard working

☛ Multi tasker

☛ Prompt

☛ Add your characteristics

Cultural fit has become increasingly important to employee engagement. This interview question gauges the candidate’s understanding of your company’s existing culture and also helps you envision how he or she might fit in.

☛ Talk about your professional acheivements, if you were recognised as a high performer or you got good feedback from your manager

☛ You can also discuss you annual ratings

☛ Discuss your promotions/appraisals

This is another incredibly common question and it gives you a great opportunity to stand out from the crowd and really show the hiring manager how you can help the company.

The key thing to remember here is: be specific.

Leverage your company research and the job description to find exactly why the company is hiring someone for this position. What problem/pain points does the new hire have to solve? You need to show that you are the perfect candidate that can solve those problems/pain points.

Start by discussing the profile you have applied for and go on to say that the organization would provide an opportunity to enhance your knowledge and help you to grow professionally

Discuss how you would be of use to the organization and how you plan to develop your professional competencies

Yes, I can work independently without supervision or support from a team

Do not emphasize on working independently as that will be seen as an inability to work with others.

Interviews show candidates at their most polished, but asking this question can help you get a sense of how candidates might handle situations that don’t go their way.

Again, a question for you to answer based on your position. If you are anticipating this question in the interview, it is better to discuss this with your family also before you go to face the interview.

It’s critical to ask candidates about your particular company's industry or size to ensure the candidate understands the unique demands of your business. If your company isn’t a startup, you could insert any other descriptor here!

Passion for the company’s mission is important in selecting a candidate. If he or she is just looking for any job, it most likely won’t be the right fit. Hiring someone who specifically wants to work for your company increases the likelihood that he or she will stay long-term.
