Questions to be asked from an Interviewer

People don't leave organisations; they leave their bosses.' This is an old cliche. According to a survey by badbossology.com, almost 71 per cent of employees look for new jobs because of problems with their bosses. A recent Gallup survey of over 1,000,000 employees found that, if a company was losing good people, the biggest reason was their immediate supervisors.

What makes it ironical is that, more often than not, it is your future boss who ends up taking your final interview. And while they try and understand the way you fit in with their teams, it is your responsibility to understand their management style as well. So, when you get an opportunity to turn the tables on them, here are some questions you must ask.

Telephonic Interview Tips

Phone interview as a mode of recruitment is increasingly becoming popular in India. It is an efficient and effective way of screening the potential candidates when the candidate pool is very large and widely dispersed. Recruiters use the phone interview to avoid unnecessary travel, by sandwiching it as an elimination round between resume selection and the regular interview. Sectors such as IT, telecom and banking use phone interview frequently.

It is important to take phone interviews as seriously as any other interview. Don't mistake it for a 'get to know you better' session. Remember it is a selection test. Since most telephonic interviews are with a single recruiter, you may have to sit through multiple rounds, each with a different person.
