Preparing for Your First HR Interview: What Questions Should a Fresher Expect?

Respected all, I am a fresher pursuing an MBA in HR, currently in my 4th semester at Babu Banarsi Das (UPTU). I want to know what kind of questions I should prepare for in an interview as a fresher in this field. I have over 2 years of experience in hospitality, entertainment, and sales. Please guide me; I will be very grateful to you all.

Thank you very much, Sachin Sir. As a fresher, I believe I have only a basic understanding of what HR entails, mainly from a theoretical standpoint such as recruitment, selection, bonuses, PF, salaries, etc. Your explanation on the distinction between HR and Admin has been incredibly valuable to me, and it has helped me chart my path toward HR exclusively.

Types of Interview Questions to Prepare

However, I am unsure about the types of questions I should prepare for an interview. I have come up with some questions on my own, such as "how to calculate bonuses, gratuity, and PF." Would you consider this sufficient? I eagerly await your guidance.

Warm regards,
Himanshu
