We all are aware through experience that there are a certain set of interview questions that pop up every time you go for an interview. And, regardless of how well-prepared you are you are sure to find them highly boring. But there is really no need of breaking into a sweat each time you are faced with such queries. A bit of common sense and smartness in your communication style can help you to sail through even the toughest of the interviews. Here Ill discuss a few such questions Tell me something about yourself. This often makes us dumbstruck. We spend precious few minutes on figuring what to answer and what we end up stammering is more often than not unimpressive. Most people actually goof up trying to sum up his/her entire life in a couple of minutes. This question actually tests your focus. Just count on your years of experience in your respective field and brief the interviewer on what you have achieved so far. If you are a fresher, talk about your achievements in school and college and your professional courses. Talk about your role on relevant assignments and projects and how you went about with them. Remember, the employer wants to know your execution style with projects, problems and assignments. Why do you want to leave your current job? This is perhaps the most difficult question. There can be a number of reasons like you might have resigned, had been laid off of even fired. You need to explain your position truthfully and also not end up sounding as a hopeless individual or victim of circumstances. It is your positive attitude that the employer is looking for through this question. Present yourself as a proactive employee who is ready to take up responsibilities and challenges. Do not bring up your past frustrations in your present interview. Stop carrying unnecessary baggage. If you were fired be truthful and explain it quickly without delving into political details of your past office environment. If you were laid off, do not show defeat in your attitude. It is no longer a taboo given the current situation. If youve quit your job, express yourself truthfully. What are your career goals or where do you see yourself 5/10 years from now? Do not brag or start painting castles in the air. The employer wants to judge how responsible you are through this question. Be realistic and avoid mentioning designation unless it absolutely calls for. If you have planned your career wisely, youll have no problem n answering this question.
