37) Interview - What are your salary expectations?
Tuesday, September 8, 2009Hint:
Everyone is very well aware about the paypack s/he ll ask for. Still hereunder are sample answers for guidance:
- "I've strong experience in this industry. My qualification and skills are perfectly fit for this designation. I would expect my compensation to be at the upper end of the position's salary band. Can you tell me what that salary band is?"
- It is the way to counter question the interviewer regarding the offer in his/her mind. It helps to negotiate salary when you know it but wanna make sure you are paid the best. - "As per my information, a salary of 28,000-32,000 would reflect the best for experience and qualification for the designation and the same is what industry offers."
- This is the reply when you know pay pack offered by the company but remember "Trust but Verify". So to verify it you can add a counter question like in Ist suggestion to make sure your information is updated.

25) Interview - Why Do you want to Join our company when there are so many companies in the same field.
Friday, October 3, 2008Hint – Clearly say, "Because, I was not shortlisted by any other company". HaHaHaHaHa
Just joking.....
Here the Interviewer tests the knowledge of the candidate about the company. Hats-off to you if you have researched a lot about the company; else you may end up putting a wrong impression. Key data about the company, you have collected, can be elaborated to the interviewer and can be compared with industry standards saying that the company is a leader in such and such respect and you want to work with the Leader.
Now the question raises, what data to be churned out from the research?
Just start from the starting year of the company to present market scenario. All imperative years of progress must be searched. Values of the company, about Founder and present CEO/Chairman, Management, Areas and countries of Business, recent ventures of the company etc. are the key Themes to be targeted in the search.
Now next question raises, Where to search all this?
On Internet foremost source is the Company’s website where from the Values of the Company, Annual Reports, Media information can be retrieved. Other sources are popular search engines like Google, Educational websites like Wikipedia etc.
Next to it are Advertisements about the company products and Job vacancies because there are given the key points about the company.
So, do your Homework to grab the Merit Certificate called Offer Letter in the Classroom of Interviewer.
Interview Q15 - What is your Name? ... What does it mean?
Saturday, September 6, 2008Hint - "Shakespeare wrote, What is in a Name?", but you can't say so to the fellow from Inerview panel. I hope u got the idea i wanna explain. Yesss... you should be very well aware about the meaning of your Name. Do what ever, like search on net, refer to books, ask people etc. but get the meaning. But still if there is no meaning of the name then you can say it clearly. Interviewer/s searche/s here for the creativity in the answer of candidate rather than the Meaning of Name.
