HR & Behavioral interview questions

Tell me about yourself, strengths, weaknesses and situation questions, with sample answers.

  1. Is it okay to ask the interviewer how you performed?

    It is fine to ask for one area to improve, framed as wanting to learn, but avoid asking directly whether you are selected. Many interviewers cannot share results, so accept a general answer gracefully.

  2. Should you ask about work-from-home and leave policies in an interview?

    Yes, but at the right time, usually with HR after you have shown interest in the role or after receiving an offer. Ask briefly and factually, and do not make it your first or only question.

  3. What kind of questions should you avoid asking at the end of an interview?

    Avoid questions answered on the website, early questions about leave, holidays or work from home, salary questions in a technical round, and anything that sounds like you plan to leave soon or are just ticking a box.

  4. How do you ask about salary, bond or working hours without sounding negative?

    Ask at the right stage, usually the HR round or after an offer, frame it as wanting to understand the role fully, and keep it factual and brief. Pair it with interest in the work.

  5. What should you ask a senior leader or director in the final interview round?
