HR QUESTIONS

1)      Tell me about yourself.
                Don’t talk much about your family. Talk about things in which you are much interested in. Try to talk things relating to your resume.

2)      Will you work wherever your work area is? Will your family and partner accept it? If not?
                When you are asked about your willingness to travel during an interview, be honest.
There's no point in saying "yes" if you would prefer to be home five nights a week.
                It is perfectly acceptable to ask how much travel is involved. That way, you can weigh how much you would need to be on the road and make an educated decision as to whether the amount of travel required fits in with your lifestyle.
                What's most important is to get a good understanding of what's involved before you are offered the job, rather than being (unpleasantly) surprised after you have already been hired.

3)      Do you have any questions for me?
                Project yourself as if you are much interested in knowing about the organization. Try not to say “no questions sir” in response to this question.
Eg :
                1) When can I get my appointment order sir?
                2) What will be my designation in “OUR” company sir?

4)      Are you flexible in getting adapted to new technologies?
                Yes, I have a passion towards keeping myself updated to current technologies and getting to know many things, so I feel I am much flexible enough to get adapted to new technologies.

5)      Tell me about your background.

6)      Tell me about Time Management from your side.
                Talk about various activities that you have taken part in parallel to your studies.

7)      Tell me about your family

8)      Tell me about your extra-curricular activities

9)      If we assign you in a team having technology that you don’t know, how will you tackle it (or) if we change to other location, how will you adapt to it?
                I am flexible enough and open-minded to learn new things and technologies

10)   How will you improve your communication if we give you job here?
                Will communicate with colleagues, with friends and my circle in English and will read newspaper regularly

11)   For what do you want job from Cognizant?
                A typical interview question, asked to ensure that you are seriously interested in the job and the company, and to find out how much you know about the company, is "Why do you want to work here?"

                The best way to answer this question is, first of all, to be prepared and knowledgeable about the company. Spend some time researching the company (the About Us section of the web site is a good place to start) so you can talk about the benefits of working for this employer.

                Compare your goals with objectives of the company and the position, then reiterate why you would be an asset to the employer. Let the interviewer know what you can do for the company, if you get a job offer.

                Even though the question is about why you want to work here, you still need to convince the interviewer that hiring you will benefit the company.

12)   Do you want any particular domain or technology to work?
                I can adapt to any domain, according to that I will train myself.

13)   Are social networking sites boon or bane? What if our company is about to develop a community for all our company employees in face book? Is it good or bad?
                Answer positively.
