6 Most Important Interview Questions

In this article, I would like to share 6 most important interview questions which everyone needs to get prepared before taken up interview.

Interview Questions:

1. Tell me about yourself?

First and most popular question in an interview (not just in Software Testing interview)

Start with your name (if they didn’t mention your name before this question), your degree and university (Also you could mention your aggregate percentage).

If you are a fresher, tell something about the training’s which you have taken up related to the job, also mention about your final year project. Mention some of your achievements. Conclude here and ask whether they have any further questions which they would like to know about you.

If you are an experienced, start with your position and roles and responsibilities at the current employer and go on with other employers (go on in a reverse chronological order). Mention tools (automation tools or defect tracking tools or project management tools etc.,) which you have used. Also, mention your achievements and conclude here and ask whether they have any further questions which they would like to know about you.

Key Note: Stick to your career, education, and achievements. Interviewer won’t show any interest in your family story.

Here is sample answer of “Tell Me About Yourself”

Tell how successful you are in your current and previous roles and mention your achievements in previous companies and how you made your managers happy. Tell your technical skills in detail and tell “I believe I have all the qualities you are looking for.”

If you are a fresher, you could tell how well you managed to deliver university project on time and made your staff happy and tell what you learned about testing and your technical skills.

5. Why did you leave your previous job?

This is to know what kind of situation you decided to move on from the previous job.

Don’t answer that the work was no longer interesting or don’t blame previous organization or colleagues. Try to emphasize your accomplishments and mention you are ready to take new challenges.

6. What are your goals for the future?

List out your goals and segregate them as short-term and long-term goals. While telling about your goals, just stick related to your career.
