Ace your HR Interview

In this episode, we are going to discuss some frequently asked questions in HR interview. It is important to be confident and express yourself very well.

Tell me about yourself

A typical structure that works for many people is essentially chronological, with the opening sentence describing their current status and the conclusion discussing their relevant and interesting hobbies outside of work or college.

For example :

"My background is in Computer Science. I am a result-driven and innovative person who is always looking to grow and thrive within my role. I am a strong team worker, a good communicator, and a quick learner. Over the last few years, I have built up extensive experience in different areas. For example, I have developed skills in Software Development and have done internships working in the field of Mobile Application Development and Web Development and working with stakeholders to complete challenging projects. I am a technical blogger and an active open-source contributor."

Why should we hire you ?

The interviewer is interested in knowing your strengths and why you are a better fit than others. So, you must try to put forth unique points about you.

For example :

"I think you should be hire me primarily for two reasons:

1. I already have the necessary skills, qualities and significant experience to perform the role to a high standard.
2. I am a quick learner, so it will be easy for me to start contributing to the team in the fastest time possible."

Where do you see yourself 5 years down the line ?

Employers frequently ask this question to understand your future goals and how those goals align with the position you are applying for.

For example :

"I look forward to learn new skills and improve my knowledge to advance my career. In five years from now, I see myself as a knowledgeable professional having an in-depth knowledge about the company and the industry."
