This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you like to fire people. At the same time, you will do it when it is the right thing to do. When it comes to the organization versus the individual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect the organization. Remember firing is not the same as layoff or reduction in force.

Questions asked will be have a similar resemblance to the ones which are asked during face to face interview (one-one interview) the only difference lies in answering them in front of a camera with a head phone. It also tests your body language and if you have applied for a position which has strong presence in the service sector then importance will be placed on facial aspects and soft skills.

For recruiting agencies or companies it can add an extra advantage as they can record the whole process and show it to their clients.

Make your self clear about your project, graduation subjects, technical aspects of your project, etc. Try to have a clear voice and fresh breath because they can act as a major distracts to the interviewer.

This question might be kept on record during your employment. There are instances when candidates were rejected partly because of the answer to this question. Always remember that the interviewer has much knowledge about what he is speaking.

While answering this question you need to be honest. If you do not know enough about the project then politely address the basics. Remember they know much more about the technicalities than you don’t try to fool them.

While answering this question make sure that you do enough research about the company and your job opening. It is imperative that you know about the job, its environment, technical aspects and possibly what type of projects you would be working with then do explain to him about all these.

State whether you are passionate about them and your contributions to the society. Also tell them whether you like to develop open source projects or proprietary projects and state the reason.

Project details, its uses and benefits, environment, team, client name?

You need to be as detailed as you can about these specific questions as they will decide your future job prospect and opportunity.

Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest.

Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you are contending for is it, you strain credibility. If you say another job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and can't wait to get to work.

You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to highlight your best points as they relate to the position being discussed. Give a little advance thought to this relationship.

If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying negative things about the people or organization involved.

Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type of work you prefer. Do not say yes if you do not mean it.

Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not mention any other candidates to make a comparison.

The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here. Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That's the type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a benefit to the organization.

Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: I'd like it to be a long time. Or As long as we both feel I'm doing a good job.
