The three principal things
that the interview board wants to find out about you are :
Will you fit in ? Are you competent enough to handle the job ? At what cost will you be available to the company ?
The focus during the

two measures in this regard to assess you .
The First Measure :

you up on the basis of :
·

Interpersonal skills .
The Second Measure :

questions to gather information about you to answer queries in their mind about
your suitability and about your capabilities to handle the job competently .
One can also expect some
difficult questions in an interview , like :
§
