What kind of Questions are asked in Interviews?

Often through the interview technique, the interviewer evaluates the personality traits and traits of a candidate and with this the interview is a face-to-face meeting. Which has a definite objective, through which the eligibility of a candidate is assessed. Along with this, the right or wrong of his candidature for a post is decided.

If you are going for an interview, then one thing must be kept in mind that honesty, ability to social behavior and intelligence are some of the basic qualities that an interviewer looks for in a candidate. Along with this the job of an interviewer is to find out all the best qualities in a candidate. For this the candidate must be comfortable in front of the interviewer. Only then can all these characteristics be assessed.

For this, the candidate is made comfortable with questions like informal subjects such as education, family background, interest etc. to make the interviewer comfortable first.

However, there is no ‘set pattern’ in the interview and interviewers can ask any type of questions they want. Nevertheless, we can divide these questions into four parts:

1. Leading Question

2. Open Ended Questions

3. Probing Questions

4. Close Ended Question

1. LEADING QUESTIONS

 In fact, the very beginning of the interview begins with the leading question, in which the candidate is made comfortable. Due to which the candidate becomes relaxed and the process of interview can go ahead. For this the interviewer is started with questions from the candidate about family background, their education, general awareness and hobbies, interests etc.

2. OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS

 Actually, through such questions, a candidate is asked to give as much information about himself as possible.

3. PROBING QUESTIONS

Often through probing questions, a candidate’s tendencies, tendencies, his ideology and moreover his personality traits are analyzed.

The level of such questions is based on knowledge of a few different facts and figures. After completing all these processes the interviewer creates an image of the candidate whether the candidate is right for the position or not.
