    The Top 5 Interview Questions That Employers Should Always Ask

    Making a decision on whom to hire during the job interview process isn't an easy task. Finding and hiring the best candidates starts with asking the right interview questions. I never miss to ask the below questions to assess the job applicant whether he is a strong potential hire.

    1. We all make mistakes on the job. Share with me 2 mistakes that you have made in your current or past job. How did you resolve these mistake(s) and what did you learn from the mistake?

    Reason to ask this question: You can check their ability to acknowledge that they have made mistakes. You can check their ability to problem solve, fix mistakes, make decision under stress and whether the mistake became a learning experience or not. Also we can understand whether he can do better job when faced with a similar situation in the future.

    2. If I were to contact your current supervisor/colleague today for a reference, what would he/she say about your work performance and commitment to the job?

    Reason to ask this question: You can check his honest and his self-awareness on his work done.

    3. What is your long term objective? Share with me 3 activities you do in a day to achieve your goal?

    Reason to ask this question: Working without keeping a goal for life is equivalent to missing a heart in human body. This question will help us to understand whether the candidate does a goal in his life and how they in line their daily schedule towards it.

    4. How does your past and current work experience that makes you the best fit for this position?
    Reason to ask this question: This question requires the job applicant to give real life examples of their specific experience and skills sets and how this experience can be applied to the job that you are hiring for.

    5. What is your life's philosophy?

    Reason to ask this question: We can predict his behaviour in the organization based on the philosophy he has adopted in his life.
