Impressive Interview Questions and Answers

Question 1:
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night,
it's raining heavily,
When, suddenly you pass by a bus stop,
And You see three people waiting for a bus:

An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to,
Knowing very well that there could only be One passenger in your car?
This is a moral/ethical dilemma
That was once actually used as part of a job application.

* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;
* Or You could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to! Pay him back.
* However, You may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer.
Guess what was his answer?

He simply answered:
'I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital.
I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.'

Sometimes,
We gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations.
Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.'

Do's and Dont's in an interview-Strength and Weakness

Hi guys back again with another stuff that I feel is worth mentioning.In almost 90% of the interviews,you get the question "Mr X ,what do you feel are your strengths and weakness"( Out of the 6 interviews attended by me,I got this question four times).Usually you can see many cooked up diplomatic answers that most of the people follow and you can find it in most of the sites.When asked about strengths,the usual reply goes on as"I am very positive,hard working ,optimistic ,sincere to work bla bla bla".I can state this only as the ingredients that formulate your strength rather than them being strength.These are more like the vitamins and minerals that combine to form your nutrition.So when you reply ofcourse,state these points (its a must),but also add like "I am hardworking etc, because of this I have been able to complete my project before time"(citing example is a very good way of doing it.).Now coming to weakness,its the usual statement that they expect from you like"I am always busy with my work ,am more professional rather than emotional ;place my work above my personal things."All spoken out damp boring words,but I think that would be enough to get through(I f anything more please put it as a comment.).But Never say you are lazy (even if you are) or I am pessimistic or something.The most important thing never say that you dont have any weakness ,if you are so particular,you can say"I havent yet come across my weakness"(but preferrably avoid it,that can be a negative point also.Say it at your own risk).
Above all these ,the interviewer expects you to reply with utmost perfection the most important question "what are your achievements?".The reply would be "I got 99% in 10th; I qualified for national football team;I have been .....".Ofcourse these are achievements and you dont expect every person to achieve it,the problem I find is it lacks the punch that need to be there in your reply to make the interviewer satisfied,infact very happy.You get 100% for board exams ;you are happy and if your achievement ends there,then you happen to be a bit more selfish.Your achievement must be something that inspires or makes atleast a single person happy other than you.You can say "I got 100 % for the boards exam.My parents were proud of me .My friends were proud of me and infact I could see some inspired faces amongst my juniors.THIS IS MY ACHIEVEMENT".If this cant make an impression,then I dont feel much else can.So guys take my word ,your achievement must be a broader one rather than a self centered one.Remember guys, the company is looking for a TEAM PLAYER ,an inspiring guy,rather than a ONE MAN SHOW.

DO's and Dont's in an interview-LANGUAGE MATTERS-remedies

In the earlier post we have seen the problems of language proficiency,now lets talk about the remedies.I have heard many people say "the problem is we think in our regional dialect and then convert it into english,so that delay in speech comes out as stammering and makes the thing worse".I completely DISAGREE with this statement.I am not concerned about the conversion,but how can one ever think in a dialect or a language.Let me tell you can never think in english or any other language.Thoughts are those emotions in mind that happens to flow more like a painting than words.If you notice properly,you can see every memory or every answer comes to your mind as a picture and then you take it out to words(provided you have not mugged up something without understanding).So we think the way everyone does and you can never think in languages;its something like asking someone to draw a picture in english(if you can do that you can do this too).The interpretation of idea to words is similar to adding a description to your painting(none can do it better than you).So what you need to do is label your idea in english rather than "creating your idea in english".
How to implement this labelling technique.Its as simple as that.If you fear talking to people in public,do it in private with yourself.Say to yourself,speak to yourself.Believe me( because I have tried it and worked well) you can start talking to yourself,there would be moments when you talk to yourself when you put your thoughts on something,label your thoughts in english and this is the best possible start you can ever give to attain language proficiency.(Do it in front of a mirror,its just a funny and beautiful experience).
The another thing you must do is listen to english programs whatever it is ,even a cricket commentary will do ,also atleast once in a week go through an english article whether in news paper or magazine or anything in that regard.I can tell you this will get you well with your speaking fluency, it will increase your word power which well augment the quality of the words you use and of course the flow of words.This is similar to providing words for describing your image.
Once you implement these two techniques,I assure you,you are quite ready to talk in english with no much problems.Now regarding the fluency or flawless speech that you do find in VJs or other news spokesmen,you need to talk with others in english especially with your friends.Do create small sessions of mock GDs or discussions in your class rooms and that does help a lot.Infact these are the only ways by which you can improve.Sitting idle and thinking "oh this is not my cup of tea" really means its time for some nice thrashing.So guys kick start your preparations and your weakness would surely be your greatest asset.A better conveyed small idea is always better than an excellent idea not conveyed.

Do's and Dont's in an interview -LANGUAGE MATTERS-problems

Hello guys this is my second post on do's and dont's in an interview.This time I am here to talk about the power of expression-the power of language.Many a time ,even in my campus ,I have seen this inability or infact a sort of inertia among students in putting forth their ideas.The problem as they say happens to be the difficulty in presenting a langauge different from their mother tongue.Its quite understandable,especially in colleges you cannot expect everytime to speak in english and naturally the tendency of inhibition in speaking comes out.This flaw mainly comes out in GDs but becomes more noticable in interview.Ofcourse you need skills to get to a job and if you have skills and still cant get the job,then the flaw must be with you language.Now how to improve your language.Mostly one can see people joining for some spoken english courses,polish their language and get through,personally I believe you can do much better without this because we remember and practice those things efficiently that we learn ourselves.I never mean such courses are bad, but I would say such courses are unnecessary especially when you are doing a graduation course or a professional course.
First lets analyse the reasons of so called "faulty" language.
Here the educational background matter most of the times( there are cases where this hasnt been a hindrance in english proficiency).Students with schooling with a regional syllabus base do face a problem as the whole portions or atleast most of them happens to be in the regional language.so they are kept aloof from the english proficiency that you would normally expect from a student who follows a CBSE or english medium,but all of them neednt be betterof with speech skills.
Next is the deliberate inertia that students show in speaking in english.There are a lot of students who just disagrees to participate in mock gds or interviews because they have to speak in english.This is mainly because of the fear of humiliation that they feel they have to face if they speak out something grammatically incorrect or if their style of speech happens to be of "low class".What they fail to understand is most of them has all learned this way and nothing is learned without mistakes.
I think these are the main problems related to the deficiency in language proficiency(If you feel there are other problems please feel free to tell me).

Do's and Dont's in an interview -SAY NO TO SHYNESS

Mostly now a days you do see a lot of interview tips and stuff in many of the websites and all of them happens to be identical, I am not much interested in putting on those usual things ,but would like to draw your attention to what really matters in an interview.
Initially (Far before the interview; may be months back even before you know you will have to attend such interviews) try to be more interactive with people.This is very very important.If you are inert,its better you throw off that habit and get yourself more open ,else you are out of the game.We should always remember that its not as easy as we speak to put yourself properly at an interview when you have been inert for all through out your life.Its quite understandable that some people do have shy nature and they tend to keep themselves away from debates,speech competitions and also such activities where one has to be dare enough to stand in front of others and present something.But what one should know is too much inertness never fetches you a job.
Now talking about stripping of the shyness in you.As I have told,its not always so easy to strip off your shyness one morning and become social.First of all,you have to have a positive attitude.Try mingling with people especially friends, make your voice count among them.Also when you get chances to be more social especially like taking initiative in regards of various activities;in college or school,do show the spirits to meet the challenge rather than running away from it.Never hesitate to say yes whenever you get a chance yourself to present in front of a gathering.Mostly the fear of under performance leads one to saying a big no in this regard,but proper practice will lead you the right way.Now some would mention about the shivering that they feel when addressing a bunch of people, but let me tell you ,this feeling remains possibly for a minute or less and almost every person in the world experiences this feeling on the first stage.Let me tell you from my experience ,its that initial guts that you need to have to stand in front of others and then everything would be normal.So dont crawl around corridors of your institution and waste your time,put yourself into something thats worth playing a good part in your life.
So remember,the first tip for being successful in your interviews is STRIP OFF YOUR SHYNESS and BE DARING TO PRESENT YOUR IDEAS IN FRONT OF OTHERS.
