Crack these 11 common job interview questions!



No job interview questions can be taken lightly. Every answer you give, reveals an aspect of your personality. Language and communications expert Preeti Shirodkar lists out the 11 most commonly asked questions in any job interview and how you can tackle them right.



Though seldom recognised as such, an interview constitutes an interaction, the flow of which can be directed by the interviewee and need not be completely left to the discretion of the interviewer.



It is important to understand that as much as the interviewee is in need of a job, the interviewer is looking for an apt candidate for the post -- one with the right attitude, one capable of blending into the culture of the company and one who is equipped with the basic skills and knowledge set that is required for the job.



Paradoxically, this person may not be one with the highest qualifications. This is so because most organisations require a specialised skills-set that no course may necessarily offer. Moreover, it is easier for an organisation to train employees in deficient skills than attempting to change their attitude.



Considering that an interview is a brief interaction that would serve to direct the course of one's career, it is important to be well prepared to face it.



Preparation for an interview would involve gathering documents, gathering information, preparing a list of questions, updating one's knowledge, dressing appropriately, arriving early and carrying oneself with poise.



So too, understanding the objective behind a question can help eliminate redundancy, resulting in a better idea exchange.

Largely an interview covers five major areas personal data, general information, technical information, information about the company and some tricky questions.
