Honestly I don't get it why some HR is asking questions such as What's your Passion and Why do you want to work here.

Of course the realistic answer would be people want to get higher paying job in order to pay their bills and commitment.

For passion part, it depends on what kind of job you are doing.

I've worked in property and shopping mall industry. The realistic answer would be I'm passionate to sell your overpriced property projects and making people become unaffordable to buy landed and condo properties.

I'm also passionate in making the CEO and the rest of their family members getting richer every single month.

Is this the realistic answer you want to hear TS?

Many still kinda confused

1. I start my interview on a short intro. I intro myself and my company then I ask interviewee to intro and what they do.

2. Based on what they do I generally know what's their knowledge and skills level at (I am their reporting manager if hired). For me my concern is that are you able to do the job youre expected to and can I work with you.

3. If there is any confusion, I will ask in details like what they do. e.g. the candidate told me he work from scratch a project with other dept and lead to increase in 30%. Then I ask what is the project - he cant answer me instead he give me example, i bring him back and rephrase my question, "you mentioned earlier you work with other dept on this project that lead to increase in 30%" what is the project about and what 30% increase? what metrics? He cant answer me, instead he give me more example of the things he do which if listen carefully is rather vague

4. Graduated on the year 2021 (presumedly graduation on year end) now working as AM? either he is super capable or something is wrong.

Item#4.... I find a lot of new start ups / younger companies ...like to use big title for some execution/routine jobs ~~~ sales director sound better than saleman...
anyway there is always expectation mismatch between interviewer & interviewee ...

interviewer ask interview to solve their company problem, but don't really hire how? want real answer, give offer first lh... lolz

That is not my task as I am the department HOD, my task is to ensure
1. he is knowledgable and skilled enough to perform the duty
2. do I want to work with this fella


Is not about the accuracy of the answer is how the candidate answer matters.

I ask general technical questions, if you can solve meaning youre able to function well in the position if youre hired. If you want to talk about money, I would skip this candidate coz too calculative, personality 0. That's my opinion

I dont have issue if he reading a script or even printed all the technical jargon and formula on his screen. Now, the knowledge can be find easily through the net and what I want to know is the interviewee resourceful enough the find the answer. When they are stucked, I will ask them to google or doing some kind of text book interview and give them few minutes to look for the answer.

From here, I can know whether he is a person that can work under minimum supervision and know where to find solution. I dont need a text book or academician type of employee as our 80% job is to applied the knowledge instead of creating a new theory.

But I do respect other interviewer having different style which always follow the script. As an interviewee, when I saw my future is too scripted, then I know that I am not suitable working with him.

Ok Boomer

I am honest and sincere. Here is my ATM card number.....

When mandarin speaker preferred go wrong interview

this, dont just blame the candidate

my most memorable interview is the first question the interviewer ask is why you leave your current job? no self introduction no greetings, no nothing. and the best part the guy is the head of the company

fucking retarded, after that i straight told him im not interested anymore and tell him go fly kite

cheating is wrong? if not, how can get rich?

Fly kite.
