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.

The difference between smart work and hard work are as follows:

Smart work and hard work are related to each other. Without being a hard worker, we can't be a smart worker. Smart work comes from the hard work. That means everyone has to specialize in his work to become a smart worker. So, all of us have to do hard work to achieve smart work.

So hard work increases your accuracy, and smart work increases accuracy as well as efficiency.

If your answer is YES, you are surely get FAILED.

You can say that:

"No sir, I don't think so. I am a professional, and I love my work, so there is no question to leave my work. Yes, it may be that I would take a break to spend quality time with my family."

This is trick of the interviewer to trap you and judge how boasting you are?

So, be alert to answer this question and don't even hint to the interviewer that you are overqualified although you are.

This is a good answer:

"I think I am qualified for this post because I am just a beginner and have lots more to learn. I think qualification is not only a matter of theoretical knowledge or results; it also depends on practical knowledge and learning. When I get practical knowledge, I will consider myself just a well-qualified not overqualified. Because learning never ends."

It is a trick question. So don't specify your actual weaknesses. Instead of this try to show you are very team oriented

For example:

"I would say everyone has blind spots and I would too that's why I believe in teamwork because when you are a team, you can point out the blind spots of other people, and they will also do the same for you."

Note: "don't admit failure as a blind spot. Failure is not a blind spot."

It is a typical interview question asked to judge how you handle the job stress and pressure.

Possible Answer 1

I believe in working in a planned way and finishing my work regularly. I always react to situations, rather than to stress. In this way, I handle the situation and don't take the stress.

Possible Answer 2

I go to the gym regularly and do work out. In this way, I remove my stress. I believe that physical exercise is a great stress reducer.

This question is asked to judge, what type of situations make you uncomfortable and disappointed. While answering this question, don't just say your disappointment. Instead of this, you should include what you learn from that incident.

Possible Answer 1:

"The greatest disappointment in my life so far as when my laptop had stolen, and I had lost all my important data. I remember that I had to work hard for the next 10 days to redo all my work to make sure to submit on time."

Possible Answer 2: If you did not face any disappointment in your life

"Sir, I don't feel that I have faced such type of situation."

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."

This question is asked to judge your decision-making capabilities. The interviewer wants to know, how you take a decision in tough times.

Possible Answer 1

After completing my graduation, the toughest decision is whether to go for higher studies or do a job. Then I chose the job because getting trained is better than educated and it was also the demand of that time.

Possible Answer 2

My toughest decision was to take admission in B.tech. I belong to a middle-class family, and my father was not in favor of taking admission, but I convinced him, and today he is very happy.

Possible Answer 3

Before some time when I had to choose between joining a group of employees protesting some issue, and staying away from the issue. I ended up being a mediator between our immediate supervisor and employees, and I am glad I made that decision because it all ended well and without further conflicts in the company.
