Interview Questions those don’t make sense
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009I will be graduating this May. With more than 3 years of experience in Software and the self trained ability in PHP/MySql skills, I found many positions which are suitable for me even in the recession time. When I prepare for the interview and facing interviews, I found some of the questions are very stupid and have no value. But all of us rehearse those questions and giving the expected answers the interviewer is looking for.
I can’t completely agree with questions and methodology to hire that “talented and motivated” employee.
Here are some of the questions, I feel have no value to ask in interview.
1. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? – Is it OK to say, I want to be in your seat in 5 year to the interviewer. Who would want to hire some one who will be a competition for him self in 5 years.
2. What is your weakness? – What is the purpose of this question?. Who is going to tell their actual weakness. In reality most of us will tell a fabricated answer.
3. Why did you choose our company?- Can we say that your company is one of the 15 companies I applied for last week?.
