Many times my batch mates and most of my juniors have asked the question , how to efficiently answer HR questions , with a few dreading these more than the technical questions.
Not much of a risk for freshers appearing on campus as most of the people clear this easily except in some interviews like microsoft the majority rejects were after the HR round. Nothing to be alarmed, probably they realized that the job was not good enough for you, yeah that could happen.
Here are a few guidelines.
When In HR they ask you “describe yourself” they are looking for a person to suit their needs which may differ. For instance a siemens guy who has come to recruit for marketing would prefer a people person not some lab guy who is good at research;agreed siemens is core but at that moment his need is something else. For an infy interview they want a team player. For Tata SED , I am taking a guess, they require an innovative person who is very focussed and aware of his field and even a bit defficient in extra activites..So there is no one formula for HR questions
The solution is to be yourself and SELL yourself properly. Dont be negative at any moment. If you have a problem like a KT convince them that it was a one time issue and an opportunity to improve yourself in that subject (they wont ask about KT but if they do) . If its a software company and they want you to know SQL and stuff….show them you are open to new things and eager to learn anything. Give examples when you did something new even if it wasnt succesfull…they appreciate initiative and will be impressed when you take credit for everything including failure. Its an interview, you have just a few minutes to allow them to evaluate you, so dont be ashamed of giving them the goodies about you.
DONT LIE, never lie! You get caught easily, these guys might be the biggest fraud and you are speaking to them. Just show them how good you are and give them a reason to employ you.
Finally, most important RELAX. You have got nothing to loose cause the avenues are endless.
You dont need luck, you need yourself.
