Recruitment interview skills

Hi Ranjit,

Thanks for sharing these slides. Referring to such material helps to point out "what we should change" in our existing processes.

I must say you have a very interesting discussion initiated. Here is my contribution:

"Tell me something about yourself?"
This is a very basic question to break-ice with a fresher/junior candidates. A smart candidate is the one who will share details about himself preferably one that is not mentioned on his CV and wraps in not more than 2 mins and of course with a smart note.


"Why you are leaving the current job?"
Most of us have changed a job, we do it for various reasons, a few major ones
# Money
# Differences with their Supervisors
# Resistance to change (esp. when ones current boss move s/he is not quite open to work under a new boss, or new process improvements that s/he refuses to accept and cannot raise his opinions it, etc.)
# Influenced by a new brand/friends (lack of loyalty for the current employer or lesser growth opportunities within the company)
# Monotony in current profile (which they call, wish to work on challenging assignments), etc.

Is that what the interviewer wants to hear..... A lot of candidates fake this answer and put it in a very fancy way to impress the interviewer. However all who fake, create a very bad impression once their reference checks are done. The best answer is the one which is honest and yes has a positive note. I agree with 08.shivani and Arjun on all their points. .

Hope this helps.

Q. Why are you leaving your current job?
Possible answer: Please, I am seeking for a more challenging job or responsibility as compared to mine current job. I also want to experience different working environment.
Another reason you can give is: I have a creative and innovative skills that I would like to bring out if am given the chance.
Note: you are to express you competence and you vision but not to say any bad messages about your organization. make sure you do this with a smile.

Ranjit, thank you for sharing. You put a lot of time and effort in your work and it is appreciated.

Suggestions on designing your PowerPoint.

* Try to limit the number of words per slide. Sometimes the slide gets very busy to read

* When possible use pictures or clipart to make your point (some people learn through visuals

* When you have a number of bullets per slide consider alternating colors every other sentence. It will be easier to read.

Just a suggestion and food for thought

Be well

I am doing MBA in HR specialization.....as a fresher what will be the best ans when interviewer ask "Why you choose HR as a career?"

Thanks to everyone. If you also mantion mail id i give you prsnly thanks.
