Interview Questions for HR

1. Tell me about yourself?

Your interviewers will likely start out with a question about yourself and your background to get to know you.

Hello sir.

Thanks for giving me an opportunity to tell about myself with you.

I’m Aarzoo from Hyderabad.
I’m a botany graduate in Nirmala college Muvattupuzha. My graduation under Mahatma Gandhi University Kottayam.

There are 4 members in my family including me. My father is Areef. He is a software Engineer. My mother is bhanu, she is also a housewife and My sister Arshi Working in Infosys.

My hobbies are making short films with friends in free time, and also I’m a music lover.

That’s all about me.

Or
Currently, I serve as the assistant to three of the company’s five executive team members, including the CEO. From my 12 years of experience as an executive assistant, I’ve developed the ability to anticipate roadblocks and create effective alternative plans. My greatest value to any executive is my ability to work independently, freeing up their time to focus on the needs of the business.

2. How would you describe yourself?

“I would say that as a security officer, I’m vigilant, proactive and committed to ensuring safe, secure and orderly environments. In my last incident response rating, I received a 99% against the team average, which has been at around 97% over the past three years. I like to be thorough, documenting all incidents.

3. What are your key strengths ?

This is another most common question in any HR interview. The idea here is to understand how much you know about yourself and how confident you are about your strengths.
• Just stay positive. Even a simple answer like “I am a very positive person” is good enough.
• You can also change this as per the requirement of the interview. Knowing a bit about the profile you are being interviewed helps as well.
• Explaining your strength with an experience from the past is desirable here.

4. How many hours a week do you normally work?

Actually hour is not a matter in doing work, it depends on how you took interest in the work you had to complete. If anyone is taking interest at doing their work hours become less in count and if anyone is not taking interest hours count is more.

5. Describe your management style?

Basically, my management style comes with promptness and flexibility. To make sure goals are achieved, I religiously study and make plans down to the smallest detail. While I do implement a strict sense of being time bounded, I also add reasonable allowances and make room for contingencies.

6. What does your friends/co-workers say about you?

I recently completed my internship at Tata Steel Ltd., Tata Center, Kolkata. My project lead told me that in the beginning, I was a little lost, but by the end of the summer internship program, she knew that she could count on me

10.  What changes would you make if you came on board?

Well Sir, if I come on board I would first like to understand and get familiar with the present working and systems in place.

This question is not applicable to first-time job seekers who are about to face a round of HR interview questions and answers.
Yes, I have and believe me it feels horrible. But I know how to keep emotions at bay, while I am at work. Firing comes at the very end of road with me. When I set up a team, I do so very carefully after considering the past feedback and history of every single team member.
