twist. Something which in general a weak point of a person, but is alright from an
organization perspective.
Example
“I tend to try to take up too many things, leaving little time for myself.”
“I am a perfectionist and sometimes, concentrate too much on one single task to get it to
perfection, using up time from other tasks”.
“I tend to say Yes, when someone asks for help. I am working on learning to say No at
times”.
Example
“I would like to see myself donning one of the senior positions in the organization
contributing to technology as well as participating in business growth. I am hoping, I can
position myself with relevant experience by then.”
“As a fresher, I am assuming by first five years will be a huge learning curve. I want to
absorb much of the industry knowledge and also to sharpen my technical abilities. In next
five years I see myself playing various roles in the team from a developer to leading a
team.”
“I would like to see myself as a technical architect in next five years. My core competency
is with technologies, and I would like to work and contribute in the field of most recent
technologies and advancements. I would like to get take up some of the major technology
certifications”
Have you been in some challenging situation ? Explain how you handled it ?
This is usually an add-on question to explain your strengths that you
mention previously. This is good opportunity to give a suitable example, as to why you
mentioned what your strengths are.
Example:
“Yes, we did have some challenging situation during our final semester project delivery.
Usually the kind of code logic we were trying to implemented, works with a 64bit
processor, while we were trying to make it work with a lower configuration, due to
budgetary constraints”. Theoretically it was possible, but result was not coming through and
the team wanted to give up and upgrade the hardware. I was positive, that this will work
and that we stick to the plan and figure out our actual problem. It took some effort to
convince my team, a lot more hard work and few extra hours of reading, but finally we
stayed positive and cracked the issue and delivered the project.
The above example, explains your strength like Positive thinking, hard work etc.
“I have a huge passion for sports and have been a regular member of college athletic team.
There was an event coming up slightly ahead of one of our exam schedule. Although our
coach said, I can skip the competition, I was sure I can win points for the college. So I
decided, I will put in extra time in studies late evenings, while also practicing and attending
the event. I had to stretch a bit physically & mentally, and also manage my time tightly.
But finally I was able to win the tournament and also come out with good scores in exam.
The above showcases, you multitasking capability, time management, passion for things and
hard work.
Why should we hire you ?
As a fresher, you can’t commit to any expertise in any specific domain. So this question is
intended to understand what quality of yours will be helpful most for the company.
Knowledge about company and what quality of yours suits the organization, is the key to
answer this. In case you don’t know much about the company, quick learning ability,
flexibility, team player etc are few common qualities that will fit any organizational needs.

for me adapt to the new environment, which is significantly lessen my training cost.”

resource. An example of my learning curve is my final year project, where I have worked on
a short time frame on an entirely new technology”
