Introduction on phone-

Question 1: “Tell me about yourself?”

“I have done my MBA with marketing from Sinhgad College ten years ago
and got pre placement offer from Sharekhan after summer internship only
in the time of very big recession of 2008. I accepted the offer and got
promoted as Team Manager in less than two years in 2010. For last 8
years I am handling a team of ten or more people. My team has been
acquiring 100 clients averagely per month.

I’ve been in this Project Manager role for two years now and even won an
award for outstanding leadership this past year. Everything’s going great,
but I’d like to take my career to the next level by finding opportunities to
lead larger teams. I saw on your job description that you mention this is an
opportunity to lead teams of 8-10 people, so I was eager to learn more.”

Question 2: “Why are you job searching?”

“I’ve learned a lot in my current job and enjoyed it, however I’ve been in
this position for four years and feel that in order to take my skills to the next
level, I should expose myself to a new work environment to continue
challenging myself. I saw your job description mentions ___, which is one
of the key things I hope to continue doing in my next role, so this seemed
like a great job to apply for and have an interview to discuss.“

Question 3: “How did you find out about this job?”

“A recruiter contacted me last week and the position sounded like a great
fit for my skills and experience, so I became interested.”

“I was researching jobs to apply for, and in particular was looking for a
position that would allow me to do ___. I came across your job description
and it seemed to fit a lot of what I’m looking for, so I decided to apply. I also
did some research on your company overall and it seems like a great work
environment to be a part of because ___.”

Question 4: “What do you know about our company?”


“I know you’re one of the top alarm system manufacturers in the US. I did
some reading on your website and discovered that you create alarms for
businesses and office buildings, not just individual homes. I also did some
reading on your corporate culture and it sounds like you do a lot to support
the development of your employees, and get involved in community service
too. That’s something I care a lot about and something that attracts me to
an employer.”

Question 5: “What about this position interested you?”


“One of the key things I’m targeting in my job search right now is an
opportunity to work more directly with customers and clients. I really enjoy
that aspect of my work, but my last job took me a bit away from that. I saw
on your job description that 50% of this job is interacting with clients, either
on the phone or in-person, and that really excited me.”

Question 6: “What other jobs have you been looking


at?”
“I’ve been applying and interviewing at small and mid-sized banks and
financial firms, like yours. I spent the first 4 years of my career with Bank of
America, so I’m hoping to experience a smaller work environment now to
round-out my skill set.”

Question 8: “Tell me about your current or most recent


job. What did you do?”
“One of the biggest areas I was responsible for in my last job was to
ensure our website had as close to 100% uptime as possible. I achieved
the best result in our company’s 29 year history last year by making some
key changes and optimizations immediately after being hired. I saw on
your job description that you seem to be looking for someone who can do
similar work for you. Your company is in a similar stage to my last employer
when they hired me – in terms of size and growth. So it’s definitely
something I could help with immediately in this role.”

Question 9: “What are your salary expectations?”


“I don’t have a specific number in mind. Right now I’m focused on finding
the position that’s the best fit for my skills and my career. ……………..

Question 11: “What questions do you have for me?”
