Job interviews can be a frightening experience for some job seekers, leaving them uncertain about their performance. In the current scenario, where mass layoffs in the tech industry and hiring freezes affect people globally, standing out in interviews has become more crucial than ever. Md Riyazuddin, the founder of Digiwink, recently came up with some valuable advice to help you perform better in your next interview. In his LinkedIn handle, Riyazuddin shared a cheat sheet of questions designed to impress any interviewer and his advice could be a game changer.
Riyazuddin highlights that preparing for questions about personal experiences, ethical dilemmas, and problem-solving skills and stating what sets them apart, can greatly boost their chances of getting selected.
The founder shared, “Prepare for these 12 questions to crush your next job interview: 1- Tell me your story. Share your work journey, showing how it led you to this job. Explain why you like what this company does, using your past as proof. Keep it 5 minutes.
2- What is the hardest problem you’ve ever worked on? Testing your problem-solving skills and how you handle challenges. Explain why the problem was hard. Show how you solved it. Use clear examples.
3- Tell me about a time you faced an ethical dilemma. How did you handle it? Show you have high integrity and can make decisions under pressure. Talk about what you decided, how you did it, and what you learned."
“4- What sets you apart from other candidates? Highlight your top 5 strengths related to this role, from the job description. Give examples of when you showed these in prior roles. 5- Share an experience when you identified a problem others had missed. How did you discover it, and what action did you take? You are being tested on your initiative and ability to get sh*t done. Give specific examples. 6- Describe a situation where you had to manage multiple responsibilities. How did you ensure that everything was accomplished? Describe your multitasking and organizational skills. Explain how you organize your work and schedule your time. Show that you get things done," Md Riyazuddin.
When asked about a missed deadline, he advises honesty when giving examples instead of just speaking about experiences. Further, talking about strengths, he encourages candidates to provide responses aligned with the job requirements. Similarly, regarding weaknesses, Riyazuddin recommends a genuine area for improvement that isn’t crucial for the position and steps taken to enhance it. While speaking about how they handled difficult colleagues, the founder suggests that one should describe how they managed the situation through communication.
Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “This is a very useful information for fresher and any professional who look for change." Another wrote, “Grateful for the insightful interview questions, setting the stage for success."
An individual shared, “These questions are crucial for acing that job interview. Preparation is key, and this guide provides valuable insights."
“Absolutely brilliant share," a comment read.
One more added, “These questions not only prepare candidates for a strong interview performance but also show how to reflect their true capabilities. The linked courses will certainly enhance those skills further. Thanks for providing such comprehensive resources."
