All time Interview Questions for a Fresher Job – HR Question and Answers

If you are a fresher and wondering what questions will be asked in interview, here are some of the question and answers for you:

Very common question that is asked by every interviewer:

Question: Tell me something about yourself?

Human Resource Manager asks you to introduce yourself. The reason behind asking this question is to know how well you introduce yourself and to know as much as possible about you. This question is not only asked for fresher but also for experienced candidate.

Answer:  You have to give best possible introduction of yourself. Make sure you start with your name and talk about your studies, family members, hobbies and areas of interests. The answer should be in such a way that there is nothing left to ask about you. Look into the interviewer’s eyes and introduce yourself confidently, also carry smile in your face.

Example:  Start like this “ My Name is (your name). I am from (your place), graduated in (course). My family consists of ……… members. My Father is a …….., my mother is a ……….Speak about other family members. My Hobbies are playing chess, playing cricket, Blogging…. Etc. Never forget to mention about awards that you got during graduation.(if any)

Note: Keep your nervousness aside for sometime.

Question: Why do you want to apply for this Job/Role?

The reason for asking this question is, He/she would like to know why you are interested in this job.

Answer: You can tell the interviewer that working for this particular company/role was my dream. I prepared myself to be able to work for this job. Make sure you give an answer that is convincing and do not tell the interviewer that you want the job just to make money.

Question: Do you have prior work Experience?

This question was asked to me many times when I tried for job after graduation. This question is annoying because a fresher would not have work experience however HR still asks this question.

HR asks this question intentionally even though they know that you are a fresher and have no work experience.

Answer: Tell the HR that you do not have experience however you can learn the job in no time and give result like an experienced employee. It is all about how you convince the HR and tell them that you are no less than an experienced person.

Question: What would be your Salary Expectation?

I’m sure you will be asked this question at some point of the interview process. HRs would like to know your salary expectation and you must answer this question very wisely.

Answer: Never get excited and demand salary that you do not deserve to get or you do not worth getting. Give a number what is industry is giving to others at this point in time. Make sure that the number that you tell sound good to HR. 

Question: How long would you work with us?

This question is very important for the company. Every employer expects its employees to be with the company for at least 3 – 5 years as they spend lot of money on training employees. By now you should have answer for this question.

Answer: Never tell the HR that you are working for pocket money and you will work 3-5 months. HR will not consider you for the role is they know that you will leave the company within 6 months of recruiting. Tell the HR that you are serious and would work for long time. 

Question: Where do you stay/ where do you live?

This is common question asked in almost all the interviews as the HR would like to know if you are living far from workplace as it is difficult to come to work daily.

Answer: Make sure that you answer this question honestly and tell the HR where you live. If your place of living is far from workplace, convince the HR that you will come to work without any problem. If you have plans to shift to a closer to workplace, inform that to HR so that He/She will consider your offer.

Question: Who else are there in your family?

HR asks this question to know more about your Background.

Answer: There is nothing to hide here. If you live with your family then tell them or else tell that you are living with friends or staying alone. 

Question: Where do you see yourself in Next 3 to 5 years?

You can expect this question in most of the interviews. This question is asked to know your ambition for future or to know about your goals.

Answer: You could say that you would like to become the head of the operations or the CEO of the company in next 8 years. Say “This is what I’m aiming, however rest I will leave to god.”
