Job interviews are always stressful even for job seekers who have gone on countless

interviews. The best way to reduce the stress is to be prepared.Here you find mostly asked top interview questions.

1. Tell me about yourself?

The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement prepared

in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items

unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that

relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back and work up

to the present.

2. What do you know about this organization?

This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the interview.

Find out where they have been and where they are going. What are the current issues and

who are the major players?

3. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?

Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide variety of activities can

be mentioned as positive self-improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.

4. What kind of salary do you need?

A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do

not answer it. Instead, say something like, That's a tough question. Can you tell me the

range for this position? In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not,

say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide range.

5. Why should we hire you?

Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not mention any other

candidates to make a comparison.

6. What is your greatest strength?

Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples:

Your ability to prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability to work under pressure,

Your ability to focus on projects, Your professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your

positive attitude .

7. Would you be willing to relocate if required?

You should be clear on this with your family prior to the interview if you think there is a

chance it may come up. Do not say yes just to get the job if the real answer is no. This can

create a lot of problems later on in your career. Be honest at this point and save yourself

future grief.

8. Describe your management style.

Try to avoid labels. Some of the more common labels, like progressive, salesman or

consensus, can have several meanings or descriptions depending on which management

expert you listen to. The situational style is safe, because it says you will manage according

to the situation, instead of one size fits all.

9. Describe your work ethic.

Emphasize benefits to the organization. Things like, determination to get the job done and

work hard but enjoy your work are good.

10. Do you have any questions for me?

Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an asset to

the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? and What type of

projects will I be able to assist on? are examples.
