Top Categories of Interview Questions - recruitment agencies


 

While thinking on what kind of questions will be asked during the interview is a constant thought, troubling our minds before appearing for the interview. Here are some obvious categories of interview questions which will give you a brief idea:

Open-ended questions: These questions expect a detail answer than a yes or no. Some of the traditional questions in this category are:
    Tell me about yourself. Why you want to do this job? What are your strengths and weaknesses?

The best way to answer such questions is to practice before appearing for the actual interview. For this you can visit the company's website and by looking at your resume, ask questions to yourself which will release your tension.

Close-ended questions: Such questions demand specific information like your period of experience, skills etc. It requires a brief but a precise answer. The best way to answer such question is making you 100 percent sure about your own information. Then it may be any kind of information. For example:
    Do you have experience in teaching children?

Hypothetical questions: The interviewer throws such questions at you to assess your problem-solving skills and ensure that you have got sufficient experience. The best way to deal with such question is you should have all the information ready with you besides giving meaningless answers.

Leading questions: These kinds of interview questions are quite predictable. For example: So, you have got sufficient experience in the customer service area, do you? The logic behind asking such a question is to get a particular response from the respondent. The best way to face such questions is listening carefully to the questions. Think for a minute peacefully and then answer. Other important factor to keep in mind is, in this case, the interviewer may ask you tricky question in a negative aspect but you should respond positively to all his questions. Multi- Barreled questions: These questions are meant to test your reasoning skills. These questions are a bit tricky. They are compiled in such a way that though it may seem to be one question but there are actually 2 to 3 questions tied and asked. Here also, think, understand and then answer. Don't hesitate to ask the question to the interviewer to repeat if you don't understand the question. Behavioral questions: The interviewer asks such questions to judge the behavior of the candidate. Such questions are meant to know about what he/ she did in a similar situation in the past. It is very important to be honest while answering such or any kind of questions. It is because if the interviewer wants to know about your past work experience, it will be difficult to lie for hours continuously.

Thus, it is advisable that you should research for interview questions enough before going for an interview. If you can rehearse a bit before going for the interview, it will help you a lot. Here is a STAR approach for answering questions:

S: Situation- Interpret the situation

T: Task/problem- the problem you face

A: Action- Action to take

R: Result- The result of your action
