41⟩ What do you think about garden gnomes?

'Not all questions are serious; a question like this is most likely thrown out to see your sense of humour in an otherwise formal situation,' said a spokesperson from recruitment company Pareto.

'It is still prudent to air on the side of how it can be related to the role you have applied for, but try to take a not so serious approach to it. For example if you are applying for an engineering role, question whether the gnomes have the right tools to do the job in hand.'

55⟩ Explain about your typical workday – how do you prioritize assignments?

A clerk is a company resource who receives tasks from many departments and individuals within the business organization.

The straightforward answer is that you ask your immediate superior to prioritize your work. They will do so with regards to the level of seniority and the level of importance. When additional tasks are brought to you, even those marked urgent, your superior must either decide on a case-by-case basis or give you specific guidelines.

58⟩ Do you have experience in which you assigned to be the main person who handles an important project – the focal point?

This question is basically pitched at you to find out whether your recent employers gave you more responsibilities than a clerk would normally have. The interviewer may want to discern whether you have personal management skills or leadership abilities that would make you the perfect candidate to be promoted down the road.

Answering this question in the affirmative can make or break your application.

Therefore, highlight some of the major projects/responsibilities that where given to you. If you did not have any, but are interested in such responsibilities, mention this idea. If you had responsibilities in a volunteer position, elaborate on that.
