Dear Pallavi,
The questions could be as below:
On Learning Curve:
a) What steps do you take to avoid the repetition of mistakes that happen in the course of your work? Have you maintained any records to avoid the repetition of mistakes? If yes, what are those and how were they useful to you?
(This question is asked to check whether the candidate learns from past mistakes or not. Many persons do not take any steps to avoid mistakes in the future, and they waste their time sorting out mistakes.)
b) Have you taken any formal training programs to improve your knowledge base? If yes, what type of course was it? What knowledge did you implement in your work? How were you or your organization benefited because of this implementation?
c) Have you conducted any formal training for your subordinates? If yes, what steps did you take to build training skills in yourself?
(This question is a bit deceptive. The candidate may feel that the question was about training, but practically it is about a learning attitude. Unless one has a learning attitude, one cannot conduct any training.)
d) Have you read any books related to your work? If yes, then name the books. What did you like most about the books and what did you not like? Have you implemented any knowledge in your regular job?
On Working Under Pressure:
e) In the course of your career, have you passed through tough situations? If yes, what was the situation? How did you maintain your emotional control while passing through a tough situation?
f) Do you face situations where you do not get time to take a breath also? If yes, what type of situation is this?
Handling Different Situations:
g) Have you handled jobs that are out of your regular work (like HR, Purchase, Marketing, etc)?
h) Have you handled diverse types of jobs? If yes, what were those? What was your experience? What was your learning because of these assignments?
Hope the above questions are useful to you.
Final note: Asking questions to a job candidate is easy. Nevertheless, if you are conducting a job interview, then ask these questions to yourself first and find out whether you have answers. The above questions can be used for self-test also.
Thanks,
