PERTANYAAN INTERVIEW HR PALING SERING MUNCUL #interview #interviews #interviewtips #interviewhr
Main summary
Key takeaways
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.
