What are different types of interview questions?


Interview questions can be categorized into several types:

 

1. Behavioral Questions:

   - Focus on past experiences to predict future behavior.

   - Example: "Can you describe a challenging situation you faced at work and how you handled it?"

 

2. Situational Questions:

   - Present hypothetical scenarios to assess problem-solving skills.

   - Example: "How would you handle a conflict between team members?"

 

3. Technical Questions:

   - Assess specific skills and knowledge related to the job.

   - Example: "Can you explain the process of troubleshooting a network issue?"

 

4. Case Study Questions:

   - Common in consulting and analytical roles, involve solving a real or hypothetical business problem.

   - Example: "How would you approach increasing market share for a declining product?"

 

5. Brainteasers:

   - Test creative thinking and problem-solving under pressure.

   - Example: "How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?"

 

6. Stress Questions:

   - Evaluate how candidates handle pressure.

   - Example: "Describe a situation where you had to meet a tight deadline."

 

7. Competency-based Questions:

   - Assess specific competencies required for the job.

   - Example: "Give an example of when you demonstrated leadership skills."

 

8. Open-ended Questions:

   - Encourage candidates to provide detailed responses.

   - Example: "Tell me about yourself and your professional background."

 

9. Cultural Fit Questions:

   - Explore if the candidate aligns with the company's values and culture.

   - Example: "How do you contribute to a positive work environment?"

 

10. Motivational Questions:

    - Probe into the candidate's motivations and career aspirations.
