Deepanshu: (Welcoming) Good morning! Welcome to this mock interview session. We appreciate
your presence today. Let’s start with brief introductions. Gauhar, could you introduce yourself?
Gauhar: (Confidently) Good morning, sir. My name is Gauhar Zaidi, a 2nd-year BBA student
specializing in HRM at Galgotias University. I have a CGPA of 7.8 and am particularly passionate about
employee engagement and organizational development.
Sulabh: Impressive. Could you tell us about a project or experience that showcases your HR skills?

workplace conflicts and proposed strategies for resolution. This enhanced my problem-solving and
interpersonal skills.
Deepanshu: Excellent. Yash, could you introduce yourself and share a key strength?
Yash: (Calmly) Good morning, sir. I’m Yash Singh, also a 2nd-year BBA HRM student at Galgotias. One
of my strengths is adaptability. I performed well in a Financial Research project, which required
teamwork and adjusting to tight deadlines.

underperforming?

facing. Based on that, I’d provide constructive feedback, set achievable goals, and follow up regularly
to ensure improvement.
Deepanshu: Good approach. Yash, if you were tasked with hiring for a senior role, what key qualities
would you look for in a candidate?
Yash: I’d prioritize leadership skills, relevant experience, and cultural fit within the organization. I’d
also assess their ability to mentor junior employees.

Informal Job Interview Script
Setting: A casual discussion setup, possibly a classroom.
Characters:
Gauhar: Interviewer 1 (Friendly)
Yash: Interviewer 2 (Supportive)
Deepanshu: Candidate 1
Sulabh: Candidate 2
Gauhar: Hey guys! Welcome to this mock interview session. Let’s keep it casual but insightful.
Deepanshu, let’s start with you. Can you introduce yourself?
Deepanshu: (Relaxed) Sure! I’m Deepanshu Sharma, a 2nd-year BBA student at Galgotias University.
I’m really passionate about understanding HR strategies and how they shape organizations.
Yash: That’s great! And Sulabh, what about you?
Sulabh: (Friendly) Hi, I’m Sulabh Singh. Same batch as Deepanshu. I’m especially interested in
recruitment and employee engagement. Recently, I worked on a project about workplace motivation
strategies, which taught me a lot.
Gauhar: Nice! Deepanshu, let’s say you’re the HR manager, and an employee asks for a raise during
their performance review. How would you handle it?
Deepanshu: (Thinks) Hmm... I’d start by reviewing their performance over the past year and checking
the company’s salary structure. If their performance justifies it and the budget allows, I’d advocate
for the raise.
Yash: Good answer! Sulabh, how would you deal with a conflict between two employees in your
team?
Sulabh: I’d first talk to both employees individually to understand their perspectives. Then, I’d bring
them together for a discussion and work on finding a common ground to resolve the conflict.
Gauhar: Smart approach! Alright, last question for both of you. What’s an HR trend you think will
dominate the future?
Deepanshu: I think AI in HR processes, like recruitment and employee analytics, will continue to
grow. It saves time and provides better insights.
Sulabh: Agreed. I’d add a focus on mental health and well-being programs. Employees value
organizations that care about their well-being.
Yash: Great points! That’s a wrap. You guys did really well. Let’s catch up over chai and discuss the
feedback!
Deepanshu and Sulabh: (Laughing) Sounds like a plan. Thanks, guys!
