HR Interview Questions For Freshers
1. Tell me about yourself?
I am down-to-earth, sweet, smart, creative, industrious, and thorough.
2. How has your experience prepared you for your career?
Coursework:
Aside from the discipline and engineering foundation learning that I have
gained from my courses, I think the design projects, reports, and
presentations have prepared me most for my career.
Work Experience:
Through internships, I have gained self-esteem, confidence, and
problem-solving skills. I also refined my technical writing and learned to
prepare professional documents for clients.
Student Organizations:
By working on multiple projects for different student organizations while
keeping up my grades, I've built time management and efficiency skills.
Additionally, I've developed leadership, communication, and teamwork
abilities.
Life Experience:
In general, life has taught me determination and the importance of maintaining
my ethical standards.
3. Describe the ideal job.
Ideally, I would like to work in a fun, warm environment with individuals
working independently towards team goals or individual goals. I am not
concerned about minor elements, such as dress codes, cubicles, and the level
of formality. Most important to me is an atmosphere that fosters attention to
quality, honesty, and integrity.
4. What type of supervisor have you found to be the best?
I have been fortunate enough to work under wonderful supervisors who have
provided limited supervision, while answering thoughtful questions and guiding
learning. In my experience, the best supervisors give positive feedback and
tactful criticism.
5. What do you plan to be doing in five years' time?
Taking the PE exam and serving in supervisory/leadership roles both at work
and in professional/community organization(s).
6. What contributions could you make in this organization that would
help you to stand out from other applicants?
In previous internships, my industriousness and ability to teach myself have
been valuable assets to the company. My self-teaching abilities will minimize
overhead costs, and my industriousness at targeting needs without prompting
will set me apart from others. Additionally, one thing that has always set me
apart from my scientific/engineering peers are my broad interests and strong
writing abilities. I am not your typical "left-brained" engineer, and with my
broad talents, I am likely to provide diverse viewpoints.
7. What sort of criteria are you using to decide the organization you
will work for?
Most importantly, I am looking for a company that values quality, ethics, and
teamwork. I would like to work for a company that hires overachievers.
8. What made you choose your major?
My academic interests are broad, so I sought civil engineering to achieve a
great balance of mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, and writing.
9. Have your university and major met your expectations?
The College of Engineering at MSU has exceeded my expectations by providing
group activities, career resources, individual attention, and professors with
genuine interest in teaching.
My major has met my expectations by about 90%. I would have enjoyed more
choices in environmental courses, and would have preferred more calculus-based
learning.
10. What made you choose this college?
I chose this college for the following reasons: my budget limited me to
in-state schools, I was seeking an area with dog-friendly apartments, the MSU
web site impressed me, I saw active student groups, and the people were very
friendly.
