Interviewers often ask candidates questions like “Do you think you are overqualified for this position”, in HR interviews. This is a tough question and you need to answer it carefully. On this page we have provided a complete guide to answer this question.
Page Highlights:
Interviewers ask this question to see whether the candidate thinks the job is suitable or not. Often interviewers hire candidates who later feel that the job is not doing justice to their talents, and start looking for other jobs. This is not good for the company, therefore the interviewers want to make sure that a candidate feels that the job is satisfying and is willing to stay for a longer period of time.
This is another tricky question that interviewers pose to check the intention of the candidate. If a candidate shows hesitance then it indicates that they are already second guessing the job. On the other hand if someone immediately says no without any justification then it shows dishonesty to the interviewer. While answering this question you must be careful, and come off as honest and sincere to the interviewer.
