INTERVIEW QUESTION - Online Test

Q1. Have You Ever Gotten Frustrated at Work? If So, What Did You Do?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Everyone gets frustrated at work so it is okay for you to say that work has frustrated you at times. But the key is to show your potential employer that you are able to handle your frustration in a constructive manner. A good way to answer this question is to say that you stepped out for a little break to gather your thoughts and talked about what frustrated you once you are no longer emotional and are able to put things in perspective.

Q2. What position would you prefer while working on a project?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

This question is for you to answer based on the skills and qualities you have. If you have the capability to handle different positions, discuss that also in the interview.

Q3. What Are You Looking For in a Job?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

When answering this question, do not come off as high maintenance. What you look for in a job shouldn’t be much more than a safe, respectful, and comfortable workplace and a job that is fun, challenging, and allows you to grow professionally (and personally).

Q4. What are the most important things for you as a manager?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

The two things which should be most important for a manager to succeed in his role are: 
a.) His team should be happy and keep performing 
b.) The project he is working on with his team is successfully finished with minimum problems.

Q5. How Do You Juggle Multiple Responsibilities?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

This question is used to measure multi-tasking abilities. Granted, multi-tasking is not the most efficient way of doing things but it is a required skill in today’s fast-paced work environment. To answer this question, you must show the interviewer that you are able to prioritize what the most important tasks are. You should also mention that you do not ever compromise quality when handling multiple priorities at once.

Q6. Will you be happy to re-locate, if required?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Again, a question for you to answer based on your position. If you are anticipating this question in the interview, it is better to discuss this with your family also before you go to face the interview.

Q7. What Are Your Expectations of a Supervisor?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Your supervisor’s role is to supervise and manage, not babysit or assist you with technical matters.  So when describing your expectations of a supervisor, be sure to create realistic expectations for the supervisor.  Some good example answers to this interview question might be:

  • I think a supervisor should have an open line of communication with their employees and be someone that their employees can approach with new ideas and insights about work-related matters.
  • I think a supervisor should be fair in judging the performance of all employees.  In addition, I think the supervisor should have some inherent trust in his or her team and vice versa.

Q8. What kind of a salary are you looking for?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Try to put the ball back in interviewer’s court by asking him about the salary they offer for a position like this. Most of the big companies will have a fixed remuneration for each level.

However, if this is negotiable, you will have more negotiation power if you have some work experience. So, know your lower limit (amount below which you can’t go) and also know the maximum salary in the industry for the position then put forward a figure which is not very exact. It is better to mention a range. For e.g. if you are expecting something around 55 K, say that you expect something in mid fifties. Don’t keep the range to broad otherwise you will be offered something towards the lower end.

If you are a fresher, most of the times you will have to accept the company’s offering for the position. However, if you find it too less, you can definitely discuss that during the interview.


Q9. Are You Willing to Relocate?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Most rank-and-file jobs will not require you to relocate. However, if you go into management, there may be a chance that you will be required to. Whether the job involves a possible chance of relocation or not will usually be on the job announcement itself. So when asked this question, it is important to not completely rule out relocation. You can say that you are willing to relocate under circumstances or give a flat out “yes” to the answer. It would not be wise to say “no” to this question, even if you are in fact unwilling to relocate. Chances are that you will not relocate if relocation was not made clear on the job announcement.

Q10. Discuss the most stressful situation you came across in your previous job.
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Here you should discuss a stressful situation that you were able to overcome and keep a positive tone, do not say you never came across a stressful situation. Typical answers can be:

  1. Our team’s targets were increased three fold and initially everyone was overwhelmed by the number, but we discussed it with our manager and he was co-operative and understood the situation. But he wanted us to give it a try and was ready to reduce the targets to a more realistic number.
  2. You can also talk about a very demanding project where you worked for long hours/2 shifts and had to sacrifice on family time, but once the project was done you got recognition for the hard work and you were over the stress.
