zest to work. Having said that I can assure you that I am working on that and if the situation demands I wont disappoint you. I
am exible that way. After all life isnt a bed of roses.

Anger is a nature to human being, The main-thing is every human can control the anger but it cannot be avoided. There may be
situations where I get angry. But my anger is as fragile as a water bubble. It lasts only a few seconds. I dont take any such things
to my heart.
18. Give me an example of your creativity.
Creativity is to create innovative idea and to modify old things to new one. I cant remember any particular example right now but
my creativity lies in every work what I do daily. Always try to implement something new that makes hard work into smart work.

Teachers and Colleagues.

sincerely. Moreover I have a quality to learn from my failure and dont give up until I achieve positive result.

qualication and achievements is just a proof that Im good learner, it is also a proof that I can still take up challenges and
compete with others.
Additionally, my own term for the word overqualied is like a retired person, who thinks that he/she has done enough well. So for
me I considered myself that I am denitely qualied for this position.
22. Would you lie for the company?
Sir, in my opinion goodness and badness are both relative. Things good today might be bad tomorrow. An outlaw today could be
the lawmaker tomorrow. So I believe lie is yet another tool which if used with an ethical sense does make sense. And if such a
reputable company as yours demands me to speak a lie then it must surely be for a reason. And as an employee I must add

Indicate your desire to concentrate on doing the immediate job well youre condent that the future will take care of itself. You
do not want to convey the idea that you have no desire to progress, but you need to avoid statements that might indicate you put
your personal career before doing a good job.
80.Have you ever made a mistake.How did you rectify it.
The answer to this question should be given very smartly. Even though the answer may differ from person to person, avoid
answers like I dont think I have made any mistake , I can never make mistakes etc. This creates an over condent impression.

or someone who was more experienced. I made it a point to not repeat it and learn out of it.
81. Would you like to work in a team or on your own?
1.The agenda behind this question is to understand if you are a team player or a solo performer. It might be risky to choose any
one of them as the role for which they are considering you might need you to be a team player but the career progression which
they might consider for you down a years time may need you to handle a more autonomous position.
It is better to answer this question by saying that I dont have any such preference. I can comfortably handle both the situations,
as the need arises. Now back it up with examples where you successfully worked in a team and where you performed an
autonomous role.
2. I would denitely like to work in a team. It helps to learn new things, explore new people, exchange ideas etc.
82. Has your career developed as you had liked?
1.The agenda behind this question is to understand if there had been times of dip in your career and if you lay the blame for them
on others. Theres nothing to be ashamed of if there have been short gap in your employment. You can justify it by giving a
convincing reason. Look at your qualications and social environment and relate your achievements to them, to answer this
question.
2. Its shaping yet. Im trying my best to shape it as I want it. Being satised with my job will be the most I can ask for
83. What would you do if your team ceased to perform?
1.The agenda behind this question is to understand your management style. A good answer to this question could be, I will try to
establish the reasons for non-performance of the team and try to eradicate them.
2. I would try and nd a reason behind the same. I will ensure that they are well motivated to perform. Team may always not
perform because they are not skilled. Digging into the root cause should be the approach.
84. Would you take up this job if we offered it to you?
Again there are two ways to handle this question.
First Way: If you have built up a good rapport with the interviewer by now you can ask a more direct question, Are you offering it
to me? (with a smile and right body language). If they say Yes, you can say that off course, based on what we have discussed till
now I am enthusiastic in taking up this position. How soon would you be able to get me a written offer?
Second Way: Alternatively you can say, based on what we have discussed till now, I will be happy to take up this position but

knowledge. In BPOs, unlike other industries, individual talents are appreciated, so the growth of the individual on his own

Now the agenda behind this is to know what the future plans are. Many turn up saying they have plans to give fulltime or part
time studies or planning to go abroad after certain time. Now the catch is employer wants to know whether your plans will affect
organizational mission, terms etc.
Always remember organization wants an individual who needs the job, who is willing and looking for growth in the job. So try
avoiding if there are any future plans you are not sure about. Just stick to the basics if possible (I am not planning anything for
atleast 2 years).
97. If well qualied, why do you want to work in a call centre?
Its not very hard to gure out why call centre is such a happening industry, especially among youngsters. Apart from career
building opportunities, good compensation and fast-track growth potential, one of the biggest factors that attract and retain
youngsters in BPO companies are the innumerable rewards, recognition and benets schemes, coupled with loads of exciting
events and competitions.

planning to immigrate as you are already familiar with their culture.It can help people to developed there grammar, uency,
pronunciations and skills to speak.

problem better than anyone else.

who knows everything.
Do not make them wait or leave them to assume what youll do.
Create a niche around your product/service that you offer, you need to know why your customers come to you.
99. What does customer service mean to you?
Good customer service means having thorough knowledge of your inventory, experience with your products, and being able to
