Unexpected Question:

When I repeat the same question: “What is your role and how was your experience”.

He had all my feedback from previous rounds. So, he said in a friendly manner “You asked the same question to all interviewers, don’t you have any other questions or do you just remember one question to ask” and laughed.

I smiled and said: ” Sir when I ask about the role and experience of anyone, each person gives me a brief idea about their life and experience, which gives me a good idea of how corporate professionals are. Not only that, asking different questions to different people without any basis just messed up everything, so why not ask the question about something that can be generalized to help me in future.”

He laughed and said it was a good reason. and told me about his experiences.

Note: I haven’t included specific HR questions, as it might not be ideal for your unique interview.

Final Verdict: Selected for the Graduate Analyst Role.
