Many of us dream of getting a good job. When
various companies publish job circulars, we submit our CV for the job. Some of
us are called for interview after submitting CV. From then on, we started
thinking about interviews. In many cases, this is the first job interview. So
the question arises in mind about the interview. For example,
- What
kind of clothes should I wear on the day of the interview?
- What
kind of questions will be on the interview board?
- How
do I answer these questions?
Many such questions revolve around the head.
This is my small effort to think about job candidates. Here are some common
questions and answers that are asked on almost every interview board. The other
2/3 questions are based on the position you applied for. I hope you find this
tutorial useful.To know more visit our Facebook

Interview questions and answers: 01
Tell me about
yourself?
This is a popular interview question. This is a question that you will be asked
regardless of the position you are applying for. To answer this question
effectively, you need to follow: Evaluate your hard skills, movable skills, and
personal characteristics. Your chance to get acquainted with your
qualifications, good work habits, etc. Keep it related to most work and career.
As simple as the question is, it can also be very complex. Be careful not to
give out unnecessary personal details about yourself. All employers want to
know who you are and how you fit into the role and company vision and work
environment. Be careful to frame your feedback which makes you the most
suitable for the role. You may be tempted to talk about all the good things,
but you will need to keep it concise and relevant.
