few stupid HR ques.

every recruitment process has one last HR round to qualify. recruitee is sure of being asked same boring and crap questions to test so-called intregrity, trust and professionalism of candidate which basically tests nothing rather than it is a small feel-good chit-chat session with a candidate. what if one is disqualified based on it. blame guy or blame HR ?

Q. why do you want to join our company ? => does HR person want to listen manufactured good points about their company ? What does HR person expect from a candidate to say ? let suppose he is looking for change of job only for monetary increment then what's the problem HR person has got? to retain good employees or to absorb new employees, it is problem of company...it is not the responsibilty of an employee to stay inspite he deserves better.

Q. are you happy with your present work/company? => how it is going to matter whether a candidate is happy or unhappy with his company as long as he is proving his mantle or expertise in his area of work? why the hell anybody will say that he is unhappy with present company to invite more questions about his style of working rather he will choose to cut down next question by saying 'i am happy but i want to be happier if i join your firm.'

Q. if you get a better offer while working in our company, would you leave our company? => if anybody who is staying with a company inspite of getting better prospect from another company, is fool. i don't think anyone will use above line to reply to HR person to lose his prospect with certainity.

Q. why do you want to join software firm ? => why the hell, company is bothered for reasons behind a candidate's personal choice to work in his preferred industry ? what matters most is whether he is doing good.

Q. where do you see yourself in our company after five years ? => is a candidate going to stay for next 5 years on the basis of that he has made a statement like he would like to see himself as a manager ? does his answer worth anything good for a company ?
