PERTANYAAN INTERVIEW HR PALING SERING MUNCUL #interview #interviews #interviewtips #interviewhr

Main ideas / lessons conveyed

• The video helps candidates prepare for HR interviews by highlighting 15 common HR questions and explaining:
  • the purpose behind each question (what HR is trying to assess),
  • and how to answer effectively (including example answer structures).
• HR interviews are described as initial screening to check whether a candidate fits the company’s needs before deeper interviews with other teams.
• The host advises candidates to:
  • don’t copy the example answers word-for-word,
  • answer honestly and naturally,
  • and use structured methods such as STAR (Situation–Task–Action–Result) and the “Rizal/Rizal method” (another helpful method mentioned).
• The questions are mostly opening/general questions; if answers aren’t convincing, HR may follow up with probing.
• Candidates should tailor answers to the company’s values and work environment and do research (e.g., the company website or current employees).

Methodology / guidance on answering (as presented)

• Use STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for past experiences and challenges.
• Use the “Rizal method” as an additional approach (mentioned as “more powerful” alongside adapting example answers).
• Do research before answering, including:
  • checking the company’s official website,
  • learning from current employees (through people you know or informational research),
  • researching salary benchmarks for the role.
• Do not copy example answers word-for-word; adapt them to your own situation.
• Keep answers:
  • honest
  • calm and professional
  • focused on the resolution and value you bring (especially for conflict questions).
• For salary expectations:
  • give a range, not a single number,
  • consider negotiation space,
  • and include awareness that compensation may include benefits (bonuses, insurance, allowances), not just salary.
