YES at once. This will only show your desperation to this job. You can answer like this:
Possible Answer 1
I will definitely consider traveling if the opportunity is appropriate, rewarding and feasible. I
don't think that I will have any problem with the traveling involved.
Possible Answer 2
Yes, as part of growing up. I used to travel a lot as my father is an ex-serviceman hence
occasionally he used to be posted throughout the country. Though I would prefer my city as it is
my birthplace and all my friends and relatives are there, but at the same time, I am ok with
relocating.
11) What are your expectations from the company?
Though this answer is objective and can be different for different persons, but you should be
positive in your thoughts and do not say many things about the company which gives the
interviewer an illusion that you are exaggerating. In short, be realistic and precise.
For Example
I have always wanted to work with an organization which provides a very comfortable and
home like work environment. I would like to work in the company where I can get the
opportunity to learn and enhance my skill to become a better professional in the future.
12) Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Now, this question is the trickiest and deadliest one among all. This can prove to be a trap and
you might not even be aware of it. While the question might seem casual, the main purpose of
this question is to find out how long you are planning to stay in the company if hired and how
your vision fits the vision of the company.
“You might be tempted to answer honestly by saying things about your plans for higher studies,
your plans to start a startup, your plans of becoming a hiring manager in the company or if you
don’t have a plan then you are simply tempted to say you don’t have a plan at all. These are the
things the interviewer doesn’t want to hear and hence avoid giving such answers.”
“ The recruiter is only interested in knowing how long you are planning to stay in the company
and how satisfied you are with the current position you are going to be hired. “
Sample answer:
Over 5 years, I would love to utilize all the opportunities that this company provides me to learn
by utilizing the internal and external training programs. My ultimate career goal is to become a
Technology Architect and hence I would look forward to developing various products that
represent the vision of this company and be a part of making a difference along with quickening
my journey of becoming a Tech Architect.
13) What is more important to you: the money or the work?
This is a very tricky question. The work should always be more important than the money. This
frame of mind is good for you(at least at the time of interview).
Possible Answer 1
"Money is always important, but the work is most important for me."
Possible Answer 2
"I would say that work is more important. If we work and achieve Company goals then
obviously money would follow. I believe work to be prior."
Possible Answer 3
"Work is more important for me. Working just for money may not be fulfilled if I don't feel
satisfied with my job. My work makes me stay productive, and money would naturally come
along well."
Possible Answer 4
"I think money probably matters to me about as much as it does to anyone. It's vital and
necessary for us to live and prosper but, at the same time, it's not my single most important
driving force. I believe that money is rewarded for work."
14) What does success mean to you?
Possible Answer 1
If I feel I am making a difference working with a team of people to make a more profitable
company. It is a success for me.
Possible Answer 2
If I put a smile on someone face and make him happy, it is a success for me.
15) What is the difference between confidence and overconfidence?
Confidence is based on facts and knowledge, and overconfidence is based on speculation. There
is a small difference between confidence and overconfidence. Yes, I can do this work is self-
confidence. But only I can do this work is overconfidence.
Or you can say that: confidence is an internal belief that I am a right person for this job and
overconfidence is thought that I am only the right person for this job.
16) What makes you angry?
You should always answer this question in a manner that suits both your personality and
management too.
"Sir, I am not a short-tempered person, but I feel a bit of annoyance when someone disturbs me
in my work without a genuine reason. Although I am an even-tempered person, when I get
angry, I try to channel my negative feeling in my work."
17) If needed, would you be willing to relocate for this job?
With this question, the interviewer wants to know if you can take up field jobs and tasks that
require extensive traveling. Do not say “Yes” straightaway – build your answer. It will only
make you look desperate. If you have familial obligations to stay at your location, make sure to
state it honestly. Understand the tone of your interviewer and answer diplomatically, like this:
“I will certainly like to travel if the opportunity presents itself and is rewarding for my career at
your company. I think work-related travels are excellent for exploring new places, new business
opportunities, and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds.”
If you are inclined to travel, you could say:
“Yes, I would be willing to travel/relocate to new locations. I love traveling, and I think going to
new places will be a delightful experience for me.”
18) Are you good at time management?
This is a straightforward question that demands a simple and honest answer. For this question,
you could say:
“I take on a very professional approach to time management. It’s my habit to make schedules
and timelines for work to complete my tasks before the deadline. I also make to-do lists and
make sure to stick to my routines. These little things help me keep my days and weeks
organized.”
“For time management, I believe there’s nothing better than to-do lists and schedules. Once I
have a list of tasks to do, I prioritize the tasks and then schedule them in my weekly/monthly
schedule. I also follow a scheduling system for my meetings so that they never collide. This
helps me to keep things well-planned and organized, both at work and home.”
19)Can you tell about a time when you faced a difficult situation and how you handled it?
Once, while working on a project, we faced a major technical issue just days before the deadline.
The data we were using became corrupted, and it seemed impossible to recover it in time. With
limited time and resources, I had to think quickly. First, I gathered the team to assess what parts
of the data were salvageable. Then, we split tasks to rebuild the corrupted sections as much as
possible while creating backup plans in case of failure.
To handle the stress, I stayed organized, communicated frequently with the team, and focused on
what we could control. Despite the pressure, we managed to deliver a solution that worked,
though it wasn’t perfect. The situation taught me the importance of flexibility, collaboration, and
the value of staying calm under pressure.
