How To Answer Mock Interview Questions

 

The IAS mock interview is a simulated recreation of an actual job interview which is used for practice purposes only. The interaction and scenario are often similar to that of an actual interview, for the sole purpose of giving the candidate real-life experience prior to an interview in order to boost his/her confidence level. Although candidates can gain valuable work experience from an IAS mock interview, this experience does not carry the weight of an interview with a hiring manager. The following are tips to help prepare a candidate for his/her IAS mock interview.

The IAS mock interview surrounds what types of answers you should give during the real interview. Naturally, the interviewer will want to know your preferred answers most likely to improve your performance during the real interview. They will also look for your voice and tone. So, better be prepared for it. When answering behavioral interview questions, you must clearly state your opinion regarding a specific situation and how it has affected your thought process. For example, if you have recently had a disagreement with your spouse, you will answer "I completely agree that it was ridiculous for you to put me in such a stressful situation."

Another common method used to test interviewees is the so-called star method. This technique asks you to rate yourself on a scale of one to five based on how you handled a particular situation. For example, if you received an angry phone call, you could rate yourself a three on a scale of one to five. As a rule of thumb, it is always recommended that you wear professional attire when answering this type of IAS mock interview questions. The purpose of this mock interview is to make sure that you have the ability to apply what you have learned from reading material and from attending training sessions.
