Personal Interview Questions
2. If your hobby is singing, ready to sing a few songs sung by your favorite
singer!
Ans: Everyone has some or the other hobby, and if you have included them in
your resume, it’s better you prepare yourself for a question on this. Know
every possible thing about your hobby. For example, if photography is your
hobby, you should be able to tell the interviewer about features of the
camera you have, angles, shots etc. It is also advisable that you carry couple
of your works.
3. What are your strengths?
1. Find your real strength which you believe that you have gained more in your professional
career. Some common strength are 1. Effective communication 2. Hard working 3.
Teamwork 4. Good organizing skills 5. Positive attitude 6. Adaptability 7. Problem solving
skills 8. Ability to learn
Be ready to give one example why do you believe that it is your strength.
2. Be double sure to say creativity or communication is your strength. If you say creativity,
how do you prove it? or If you say communication skills, the interviewer easily judge by
listening 5 minutes to you whether you really are articulate or not.

mentioned weakness & convince that I am working on that weakness to convert
into strength.
11
Addition, I have the experience of living outside a few years and this is not being a
problem for me.
Sample answer 1:
Sample answer 2:
Sample answer 3:
Yes sir, If I love my job then I too love to take my responsibilities related job.
It will be beneficial for me to relocate as it will increase my communication skills as
well as knowledge related to other culture. I'm friendly in nature so it will be no issue at
all. And if I know my work I can be best anywhere.
12
10. How do you handle stress and pressure?
Ans: A typical interview question, asked to get a sense of how you handle
on-the-job stress, is "How do you handle pressure?" Examples of good responses
include:
1.Stress is very important to me. With stress, I do the best possible job. The
appropriate way to deal with stress is to make sure I have the correct balance
between good stress and bad stress. I need good stress to stay motivated and
productive.
2. I react to situations, rather than to stress. That way, the situation is handled
and doesn't become stressful.
3. I actually work better under pressure and I've found that I enjoy working in a
challenging environment.
4. From a personal perspective, I manage stress by visiting the gym every
evening. It's a great stress reducer.
Prioritizing my responsibilities so I have a clear idea of what needs to be done
when, has helped me effectively manage pressure on the job.
or
Ans 1: I have the ability, power and strength to work under extreme
pressure as I can strive hard to meet up with the requirements of the objectives
being set by the organization. Working under pressure has never been hard for me
as I consider the pressure as pleasure.
Ans 2: Sir. I know that it is somehow difficult to work under pressure. But
sir I would like to say that if such type of situation arises I will definitely work,
because if we work under pressure we will be able to know our strength and
weakness, so that we can remove the rising of pressure in future time.
Ans 3: Always say “Yes” to this question otherwise there is no point in hiring
you. “I can work well under pressure, because it becomes a new learning experience
and prepares me for the next stages in career growth”

for the welfare of family without any rest. During her leisure time also she would
think only about the family and children and has much dedication towards the
family and adjusts so much for the family. Is this thing not enough to get inspired?
Also we can compare her life with a working life. She does all her works
within particular time and keeps moving on to keep the home clean and achieving
her goals :-).
Ans 2: There is no particular person who inspires each person has certain
qualities even a small child inspires me to be honest, My Parents inspire me to be
dedicated and responsible in the same way many people inspire me in many
qualities.
Ideal job is that where the person enjoys doing his jobs, where he/she use
their knowledge effectively, make other peoples happy and most important where
he/she respected.
18. If you are rejected today, then what will you do?
Solution: Well this question does not mean that they are rejecting you. So
don’t get dishearten. This is more like a ‘stress question’ to judge how you react
during a stress situation. This could also be because they want to know your other
plans like if you have also applied for other companies or if you are very adamant
about joining other company. Either ways it does not mean that they are going to
reject you. And make sure your answer is positive.
Give reasonable answer
19. If you won $10 million lottery, would you still work?
Ans: Yes, I will continue my work in your company; because I want my knowledge
grow. I need an environment where my knowledge and experience enhance. And the
$10 million lottery makes me and my family happy, but it can't grow my knowledge
and skills. So, I will have to work to grow my experience and knowledge.
Ans 2] Yes Sir I will continue working in your organization because
money is temporary and work is class and permanent. Earning money is not
important, earning satisfaction is more important. Having that much money feels
me very happy, but this money will never give me satisfaction, because I have it by
'Luck' not by 'Hard work'. I will still work and do more hard work to make this 10
million into 100 millions. And money makes us happy. But knowledge will help us
how to make money.
Ans 3] My brain will rust if I do not work. Hence I will continue to work.
May be I come to office by car instead of a bike and stay in my own house instead
of rented one.
20. Q. What are you passionate about?
Ans: 1.One of my greatest passions is helping others. When I was younger, I've
enjoyed helping mom with household repairs. As I grew older, that habit grew and
I desired to help others as well. I like helping people find solutions that meet their
specific needs.
2. I’m passionate about painting. I take an evening art class once a week and try to
find time each weekend to paint. Painting is a good way for me to relax and even
though I don't have much talent, I do it enjoy it.
3. I lost my father to pancreatic cancer and ever since then, I have spent time
volunteering to help raise awareness and funding for cancer research. I volunteer
for Pan Can, the advocacy group, and I'm part of their volunteer network. One of
the things I'm passionate is to assist in finding a cure, however I can.

series by wire and two endpoint connect with some LED that provided me
sufficient light.
Ans 2: Sir Creativity means to make innovative from basic things.
My creativity is I learn from my mistakes and try to make failure in
success.
Ans 3: Thank you sir/madam for asking this question, in my point of view
creativity is that where the person think different from others by their innovative
or new ideas. For achieving their objective like technology which is upgrading day
by day.
22. How much salary do you expect?
As a fresher, your primary objective is to gain knowledge. Treat your
initial experience as purely learning with some compensation to get by. “My
priority right now is to learn and contribute to the company if I intend to make a
career for myself. I will adhere to the company policy and accept my salary
according to its”
Ans 1] Sir/mam, as a fresher I would Expect that the salary will be
based upon my knowledge and as per the norms and standard of the company. In
my point of view salary is not a basic issue. For me experience is mandatory.
Whatever you offer will be as per our company norms I'm ready to take that.
Ans 2] Sir I am fresher I need platform to increase my skills and
knowledge and salary does not matter for fresher only need experience and some
knowledge then I hope you will give good salary that helps me survive in this city
thank you sir.
Ans 3] Sir/mam, you have seen my qualifications and my quality. And you
are the better person to judge me.
Ans 4] Sir, a low salary would undermine my experience while a justified
salary would encourage my skills and determination to higher level. I believe you
will justify my salary to what fits best my job description and company
expectations.
Or
Answer: As per the company policy. OR As per (Company Name) policy. OR
As per the company norms.
HR: My company policy is just 2000 Rs. per month. Will you still work with us?
Answer: Show the HR that you are little serious before answering this question and
after few seconds of serious mood showing say this: Well sir being a fresher I just want
to learn and explore my core skills and strength so I would again say that I am very
much OK with whatever is the company offering me as far as salary is concerned.
HR: But don't you think you won't be able to sustain with this much low salary?
Answer: Sir/Ma'am, I have already done a research on your respected company before
coming for this interview and I am very much sure a company like yours would never
let me feel troubled on financial matters. I am again saying being a fresher I am just
willing to follow the guidelines and directions given by my seniors and come up to their
expectations and meet both company and my future growth goals.
HR: If your senior says you to do data theft and escape with him and make money by
selling that data. Would you still follow your senior's direction?
Answer: Sir/Ma’am, if you have noticed in my previous answer I have said seniors not
senior which means that if one of the senior is going against the company policy then I
have the other options also whose directions and suggestions are still available to me.
HR: Alright!! But still you must have seen or gone through some web site for fresher
placement or attended any training for these answers, I want to hear your own answer.
17
Answer: You are absolutely right sir/ma’am, Our College has conducted a training
program for campus preparations and experts have taken our mock interviews and
suggested us some do's and don'ts. I have worked on those suggestions and prepared
myself for this interview keeping in mind that every company would respect a
candidate with proper homework before coming for the campus interview. Even if you
allow me I can share many exciting facts about your esteemed company that I have
collected during that preparation. Tell me something about our company.
There is no doubt about this issue. • Read the Internet for as much
information as you can get • Know what the company’s business and core
competencies • Ask friends or acquaintances about the company. • Find how many
offices / branches that the company has.
Ans 1] > Study about the company in details.
> Know the background work about new project.
> Know the names of the owner and partner.
> Research about the company current issues.
> Update your knowledge about their competitors.
It is one of the best fastest growing company in India, the work
environment of the company is very good, people feel proud to be part of a
company, as company provide full support to their employees & profession friend,
it has many branches across the world so have good opportunity to show my
talent.
Ans 3] Sir sorry the question that you asked me is quite intellectual
question but I think like, this is not my place to tell you because you are a
experienced person but if you are giving me the opportunity for these question
then I will give 9/10 because from my childhood I learned that no one is perfect in
this world.
18
26. Would you be willing to relocate if required?
Ans: 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.
27. Tell me about the recent trends in IT industry?
Ans: Be prepared with two or three trends that illustrate how well you understand
your industry. You might consider technological challenges or opportunities,
economic conditions, or even regulatory demands as you collect your thoughts
about the direction in which your business is heading.
28. If you are rejected today, then what will you do?
Ans: Well this question does not mean that they are rejecting you. So don’t get
dishearten. This is more like a ‘stress question’ to judge how you react during a
stress situation. This could also be because they want to know your other plans
like if you have also applied for other companies or if you are very adamant about
joining Wipro. Either ways it does not mean that they are going to reject you. And
make sure your answer is positive.
or
I am having a lot of interest in getting job in your organization. I never disappoint and I will
learn what mistakes I did and prepare well and again attend off-campus to your organization
in few months
Or
I try to learn why I was not selected so that I could find the way to rectify the mistakes &
appear again to your organization in off campus interviews.
1. Go to company website and study their recent projects related to your background.
2. Contact your seniors and ask what is so special about the company.

company grow
Sample Answer 1:
I hope that TCS is the best organization to start my career and it will help me in such a way
that if I am starting my career in MNC's like TCS definitely I have better future. And I came
to know that in TCS way of treating the fresher’s was good.

exploring cutting-edge technologies, fresh out of the world renowned
research labs. The opportunity to understand, interact, and work
with people from cultures all over the world creates kaleidoscopic
avenues for learning that propel you to be at par or go one up on the

best in the world.
According to you what are the qualities that new employee must have? And which
are the qualities that I have from that? And sir would you like to give me any
suggestions or advice?

chance. I would like to know the mistakes and my faults that I've committed in
this interview, so that I'll never repeat them in future.

Ans 3] Thank you sir for this opportunity. I would like to know what I did
mistakes in my skills, so can you please suggest me. If you selected me, I will help
our company growth and development, but unfortunately if I am not selected, I will
improve my skills and try to don't repeat these mistakes in my further tests. Once
again thank you sir.
This is an interesting question to test your personality. Interviewer is trying to know more about
yourself apart from your academics and your extracurricular activities. i.e., your value system,
your ability to work with teams, leadership skills, etc. Be prepared for this question.
How to answer:
Think about how your personality has moulded over a period of time and try to think of a few
moments in your life that have had an impact on your behavior.
For example, in your earlier days of your college, you did not like studying in groups, but during
your pre final year, you realized that there are many projects which require good team work and
you benefited a lot because of this.
Or initially you are a movie buff but after you’re scored less in a particular exam, you realized
the value of time and since then you are focusing on your academics.
40.How do you deal conflicts? Or Think of a situation where you handled a conflict
successfully?
Sample Answer:
We hosted a big event which had multiple programs and our team was assigned to take
care of receiving the guests, serving them food, beverages, giving them the right
information of where and what events they can attend. My team mates were not paying
attention to the tasks assigned to them and I was having hard time keeping them together.
I took up the issue and gathered them together and explained the problem. I told them
that by knowing and networking with the guests they may benefit from them in future in
some form. So they realized the value of doing their job. Most of them have realized the
mistake and together we are able to finish the task given to us.
