How to answer: (This the first question that is shot to you in an interview) Yes, your answer should start with your name. Give a slight background of your education, your work history, your personality, your family and mention things that you like to do and are passionate about.
How to answer: Put in words like ‘dedicated’, ‘passionate’, ‘punctual’, ‘productive’ in your answer. Assure your interviewer that you get things done in time and try new approaches to getting things done.
How to answer: First let them know how you came to know about the company. Convey that you have heard about the company in the industry and have been following them. Put in praises but make sure not to sound too flattering.
How to answer: It would be best to focus on your strengths and skills. Express how passionate you are about the job and that you are ready to join the business and acquire new skills.
How to answer: Firstly add praises about the organisation and how you have heard a lot about them. Compliment the atmosphere and ambience telling them you find the place ideal and would add your feedback as you start working.
How to answer: Name your strengths and weaknesses honestly. If you haven’t really thought about your strengths and weaknesses, you can again give in words like ‘dedicated’, ‘confidence’, ‘time management’ in your strengths and for weaknesses you can go into a little clever lane and say that ‘overworking’ is your weakness.
How to answer: If you have worked before, give a background on that work experience. If you haven’t then mention your passion and interest in the field. You can share your internship experience, if you have any.

How to answer: Rather than throwing out numbers straight to the interviewers face, say that you are more focused on learning new skills and things related to your job. Also, don’t hesitate to tell the amount you were being paid in the previous organisation, if asked.
How to answer: Never try to blame the previous organisation i.e. picking out fault in them or their system, give reasons like you are seeking for more professional growth and looking out for new challenges and career prospects.
How to answer: One of the best reasons you can give to this is work experience. Answer by saying you want to know more about the work culture and gain experience. Stress more on you trying to improve your core professional skills, so that you don’t come across as someone who is trying to get the job for only a short period of time.

How to answer: Tell your interviewer that you try to increase your focus while keeping your calm. Say that pressure gives you a kind of adrenaline rush which makes working more fun.
How to answer: If you have the right experience, highlight that along with mentioning the skills that you bring to the table.
How to answer: It is best to express your flexibility here. Say that you can be a leader when it comes to leading and be an equally good follower at the same time.
