According to Kailash Shahani - Morpheus Consulting Director the ten interview questions that can be asked at the time of interview are listed below.

1. Brief about yourselfThis is the most common question asked by the employer to know about the background of the employee. In this question employer expects something that is not written in your resume as they already have gone through it and shortlisted it from the pool of resumes. Kailash Shahani suggests to tell something that will stand you out from other candidates. You can start with your strong points and making sure that it is related to the job profile.

2. Why company should hire you?Kailash Shahani recommends not to get panic with the question instead feel confident and explain the employer at your best as why you are fit for this position. This is the best question to put before the employer your positive points and your enthusiasm to work in the company for the required job profile.

3. Explain your goals and what you did to achieve it?It would be helpful for you to explain the intermediate and short term goals rather than jeopardizing the interview by talking about the long term goals.

4. Are you a good team player?Employer not only wants yes or no answer in this question but wants the justification also. So be ready for this question with a good example to validate your answer.

So to answer this question you have to be very careful. In case to express the weakness be ready with the techniques that you do to overcome your that weakness.

6. Are you mentally and physically ready to deal with work pressure?To answer best for this question explain the situation of the work pressure that you have gone through in earlier office and the methods you use to deal with it.
