Important HR Interview Questions P3

I’m concerned that you don’t have as much experience as we’d like in.

Review the areas of your greatest strengths that match up most favorably with the company’s most urgently-felt wants and needs.



How do you feel about working nights and weekends ?

Answer this question in a balanced way and ensure the hr that you will be willing to work a lot of extra hours in the time of need. This is what hr will be testing.



Are you willing to relocate or travel ?

First find out where you may have to relocate and how much travel may be involved. You should say yes mostly and keep your options open until other offers come.



Why have you had so many jobs ?

You should try to minimize your image as job hopper. You can specify the time you spent at previous positions in rounded years. Describe each position as part of an overall pattern of growth and career destination. Dont blame other people.



What do you see as the proper role/mission of:

a good (job title you’re seeking);

a good manager;

an executive in serving the community;

a leading company in our industry;

Think of the most essential ingredients of success for each category above



Looking back, what would you do differently in your life ?

Indicate that you are a happy, fulfilled, optimistic person. Every experience in life is crucial and i would not change anything.



Could you have done better in your last job ?

Dont be negative and say something which is not of major consequence.



Can you work under pressure ?

Absolutely. Explain your experiences and previous achievements when u actually did. And explain "working under pressure" as part of previous job. But say that u dont worry a bit about it.



Why aren’t you earning more money at this stage of your career ?

You like to make money, but other factors are even more important.



Who has inspired you in your life and why?

Choose any leader in history, in business, politics or anyone. Be prepared to tell about how their words, actions, etc. inspired you.



What was the toughest decision you ever had to make?

Have a good example for that. But again, be positive.



What changes would you make if you came on board?

Again, u need to study everything about the company before the interview to answer this question.
