Question
1.
Tell
me
about
yourself.
This is the first question you could be asked in any interview. This may sound simple but if
you are unprepared you could be in big problem. So just prepare yourself for this simple yet
difficult question Start with one two lines about yourself, who you are ? a brief 1 line about
your family [ this depends on what kind of interview you are going through] and lastly why
are you the best suited person for this job. Tell about your achievements but never sound
too proud of your achievements, highlight yourself but with decency. Remember the golden
rule
First Impression is the last impression.
Question
2:
What
are
your
greatest
strengths?
This question is to judge how you present yourself, are you the person who talks too much,
are you arrogant or are you the one who just do what others say and thus never realized
your
strengths.
The answer to this question should be linked with facts and figures if possible. If you had
any previous achievements say you lead a team which did wonderful and thus you are a
team leader and all. Highlight yourself, tell your strengths but be sure it is well supported
and you just dont start sayings just to impress. Remember the HR person will grill you if he
even finds an iota of doubt in what you are saying. Some points on which you could support
your answer could be honesty, leadership, tech savvy, confident, good communication
skills, positive attitude, motivational and inspirational leader etc.
So just prepare yourself for this question, make a mental note of all your achievements.
Question
3:
What
are
your
greatest
weaknesses?
Now this is the question which could either end your interview or could just get you the job.
Dont mince with words, at the same time just dont be too blunt. Tell your weakness but
also tell what you are doing to over come it. Never say I can not do this. Instead say, I have
never done this but I am eager to learn and am sure if our company needs it I will do it.
Note Never say your company or what would be my position in your company, use our
company. Some HR people might ask you why you are saying our before selection then do
say its because I am confident that I am the best person for this vacancy.
Question 4: Tell me about something you did or failed to do that you now feel a
little
ashamed
of.
This question is just to see how you react to embarrassing situations. Of course you just can
not say SKIP THIS PLEASE. So better prepare yourself. Take your time to reply to this one,
at first say I am really finding it very hard to find any such situation as I believe the best
way to avoid shame is never do such things.
Most of the interviewers just will proceed to another question but if he or she insists to
elaborate then give any appropriate reply but be sure it should not sound that you are so
regretful
that
it
still
has
mental
leaving
(or
impact
on
you.
Remember
5:
Why
are
you
did
you
leave)
this
position?
By asking this question, the interviewer just wishes to see how much respect you give to
your management, colleagues etc. So never say bad words about any of your earlier
employers or management. Remember Never talk bad about any one even if he or she
has been the worst boss.
There
can
be
two
situation
First is when you already have one job In this situation tell truthfully that you see a bright
future or this work profile suits you more than current one or so. Never say I am joining
you because you pay more. If you say so, 99% chances are you would be thrown out of
interview.
Secondly
when
you
are
fresher
or
you
dont
have
any
job
If you have been fired, then tell them why you were fired, what you have learnt from that
incident and what are you doing to make sure this would never happen again in life. Dont
hide the facts, companies do check each and every individual so even if you dont tell them,
they know it.
If you are a fresher then you just say I am fresher and you are done with this question
Question
6:
Why
should
hire
you?
The most commonly asked question but the question which is most difficult to answer.
Before you enter any interview make sure you have read about the company, job profile and
all. As soon as this question is asked, start matching your personality traits with the job
requirements.
Show
how
you
are
the
best
suited
person
for
this
job.
For example If you are going for a job which involves marketing, then convince the
interview that you have a personality which is best suited for this job.
The bottom line is Match yourself with what the job profile is and thus the interviewer
should feel that you are the best person for the job.
Question
Where
do
you
see
yourself
five
years
from
now?
This question is usually asked to see how much ambitious you are and what is your actual
reason for joining the company. If you say I see myself as one of the richest manager in
town forget about the job and leave. You need to show that you are a person with focused
aims and you are willing to work to fulfill your dreams. Dont be over ambitious and say I
want to be in board of directors in next 5 years. Of course that is not possible unless lady
luck stays with you 24*7 for all 5 years.
During an interview I said I want to see me at your post and you in top management and
believe me, the interviewer had a very good laugh and said that was really clever. I dont
suggest you to say this every time but yes if you feel the person has a jolly nature you can
say so
Question 8: Why do you want to work at our company?
This question is asked to check whether you know about the company and work profile or it
was just that you got a call from your friend and you walked in the interview.
So do your homework and check annual reports of company, browse website or any relevant
data. See the areas where company is growing and match your skills with it. Show the
interviewer how you could add to the overall profit of company.
Question
9:
What
are
your
hobbies?
This question is asked to judge your personality. I have seen hundreds of resume which say
For god sake dont copy it from others resume and use it. Write what you actually do. Dont
write I have a hobby of reading books when you could not even name 1 book if asked for.
Never be fake, tell them truthfully what you do.
Mention some hobbies which are directly or indirectly linked with job. But make sure you
have that hobby. If not then say what you actually do. Different people have different
hobbies, so there is nothing to be ashamed off.

The mix design M-40 grade for Pier (Using Admixture Fosroc) provided here is for
reference purpose only. Actual site conditions vary and thus this should be adjusted as per
the location and other factors.
Parameters for mix design M40
Grade Designation = M-40
Type of cement = O.P.C-43 grade
Brand of cement = Vikram ( Grasim )
Admixture = Fosroc ( Conplast SP 430 G8M )
Fine Aggregate = Zone-II
Sp. Gravity Cement = 3.15
Fine Aggregate = 2.61
(fa) , (ca) = total mass of fine aggregate and coarse aggregate (kg) per m3 of
Concrete respectively, and
Sfa , Sca = specific gravities of saturated surface dry fine aggregate and Coarse aggregate
respectively.
As per Table No. 3 , IS-10262, for 20mm maximum size entrapped air is 2% .
Assume F.A. by % of volume of total aggregate = 36.5 %
0.98 = [ 160 + ( 400 / 3.15 ) + ( 1 / 0.365 ) ( Fa / 2.61 )] ( 1 /1000 )
=> Fa = 660.2 kg
Say Fa = 660 kg.
0.98 = [ 160 + ( 400 / 3.15 ) + ( 1 / 0.635 ) ( Ca / 2.655 )] ( 1 /1000 )
=> Ca = 1168.37 kg.
Say Ca = 1168 kg.
Considering 20 mm : 10mm = 0.6 : 0.4
20mm = 701 kg .
10mm = 467 kg .
Hence Mix details per m3
Cement = 400 kg
Water = 160 kg
Fine aggregate = 660 kg
Coarse aggregate 20 mm = 701 kg
Coarse aggregate 10 mm = 467 kg
Admixture = 0.6 % by weight of cement = 2.4 kg.
Recron 3S = 900 gm
Water: cement: F.A.: C.A. = 0.4: 1: 1.65: 2.92
Observation:
A. Mix was cohesive and homogeneous.
B. Slump = 110mm
C. No. of cube casted = 12 Nos.
7 days average compressive strength = 51.26 MPa.
28 days average compressive strength = 62.96 MPa which is greater than 48.25MPa
Hence the mix is accepted.
