Interview Questions that would reveal your psychology

Glimpses:

Some questions in the interview may reveal your inner qualities, your likely co-operation with team members, your general attitude, your technical and non-technical skills. Take a good care to answer this type of questions. I have tried to explain some of them. Good Luck.

Tips to answer such questions:

• Be prepared thoroughly for these questions. Struggling gives clear hint.
• Be honest to these questions. That is the best way of tackling any interview.
• Never let down your previous employer.
• Never let down your colleagues.
• Strongly express what you can do and what you cannot do. Because commitment to unknown areas would backfire you.
• Your technical skills take only 10% in the interview. Only soft-skills are what the interviewers are looking for.
