1. Top 6 Interview Questions Every Employer Should Ask
An employer’s life is very complicated than employees assume it to be, sitting at a desk and
simply commanding orders for others to perform isn't the sole duty that an employer is usually
responsible for performing, which might be the general idea of the staff who is working under
them. Employers are responsible for numerous tasks such as compiling with rules, regulations
and standards, keeping the workplace hazard free, observing the workplace to determine if em-ployees
are operating according to the rules and the most important hiring an competent and
strong candidate as an employee for their organization. From stacks of resume files it’s the re-sponsibility
of an employer to choose a candidate for an interview, that is after the human re-sources
initial selection of a candidate based on the required position. Its evident the pressure of
selecting a fit candidate for a position is crucial decision employers are expected to make on be-half
of their company. Furthermore simply reading resumes isn’t sufficient to provide a concrete
assurance for hiring a candidate, face to face conversation is essential. So what are the questions
a employer should consider asking for grasping a better understanding about a candidate ?. Here
are the top 6 question I consider important for a employer to ask from my perspective:
1) Have you ever dealt with a tough client ? -This is the perfect question to ask an potential fu-ture
employee because their response for this particular question reveals the individuals skills in
the matters of communication, problem-solving and stress management. When a individual is ca-pable
of handling a tough situation through positive thinking with minimum anxiety and be able
to successfully generate positive results is a talent which confident individuals possess in my
opinion. After all in the business industry dealing with tough situations or clients is assumed to
be part of the job but employees who confidently deal with such circumstances and proceed
ahead are an asset of the company.

2. 2) Who inspired you for who you are today ?- This is a seldom asked question during an in-terview
because nobody wants to take the conversation to a personal level but the reason behind
asking this question is that from a brief introduction about their role models we can learn about
the individual’s personality and their beliefs towards principles and their commitment toward
their careers. When a individual is inspired by someone they tend to follow similar footsteps in
their life in order to attain motivation and guidance in their life. For example, my role model is
Gurbaksh Chahal an hard working, dedicated and successful internet entrepreneur, who I feel is
my source of inspiration to keep me moving forward even when circumstances are unfavorable
on my side.
3) Why should I hire you? - Its evident this is the most commonly asked question by employers
and as well consumed to be asked by employees preparing for an interview. How does this ques-tion
differ for each different candidate an employer interviews? - the kind of feedback given is
the key factor here, usually future candidates discuss about how their strong working ethics, ver-satility
in language speaking skills are the factors which should be taken into consideration as a
hiring criteria, such feedback is not sufficient in my opinion. For example - I remember asking
the same question to a potential candidate, Why should I hire you ? - “ You should hire me be-cause
I am hardworking and committed towards the assigned duties”- something very crucial is
missing in this answer that I expect to hire, how is an individuals education,experience, creden-tials
and interests help in bringing positive results to the company and their careers. Therefore its
a great opportunity for employers to observe whether the candidate they are interviewing is suc-cessful
in presenting themselves unique from the others.
4) Please complete this sentence - In the next five years I see myself as_____? , this is another
ideal question to ask to uncover a individuals motivation and passion towards moving ahead in
their career. A keen individual always has a plan for the upcoming future because their present
work is set at achieving a target in the future, therefore when a individual has a goal they truly
desire to meet, it can be seen from their actions. To be precise an employer should remember
that when you ask this question observe your interviewee’s expression, does their face light up ?
does it bring a smile on their face or is it an ambiguous expression. If its an positive observation
it signifies you are conserving with an ambitious person who are serious towards their career,
conversely if its a negative expression its likely the individual is yet unsure of their future plans
and as a result they require more time in determining their future goals. In addition, it might clear
doubts of the employers such as: whether this candidate is fit for the position offered by the com-pany
or are their any intentions for the candidate to leave the postion in future.
5) How have your actions contributed to the success for the company you were previously
employed in ? - In my opinion, when a individual is able to demonstrate a past experience were
he/she has used their knowledge and leadership skills to bring a positive outcome for the growth
of the company, it’s consider as a strong characteristic an candidate to posses. In our business
sector young innovative minds are in great demand because they are considered to be the future
for the world, therefore its always a priority to give such a responsibility in confident hands.
6) Do you have any questions for me? - Generally at the conclusion of the interview it’s im-portant
to ask if your interviewee has any questions for you. From my own personal experience I
have observed 8/10 candidates would respond as: “ No I don’t have any questions, thank you”,

3. there are two explanations behind such a response in my opinion. First, this question might come
as a surprise for some candidates because they usually expect to be questioned rather ask a ques-tion,
as a result they suddenly become nervous and decide to avoid the vulnerability by not re-sponding.
Secondly, their interest towards being apart of the team is might not be important to
them because it may be an ordinary job which they choose to temporarily associate with. Fur-thermore
this is another alternative to test a potential employee because when they are placed in
a situation which requires immediate critical thinking and decision making skills, an employer
can practically observe their actions and determine their suitability for the real world before hir-ing
them.
From my perspective these are the top six questions every employer should ask when interview-ing
a candidate, you get to learn abundant about of information about the person on the other end
of the table. As well there are various different techniques employers practice to determine the
suitability of a candidate for a position. What other questions to techniques do you think are es-sential?
