Explain the difference between group and team?
The difference between group and team are as follows:
There is only one difference between the group and the team. That is unity. Any set
of people who stand together without any purpose or goal can be called as Group.
Whereas, when more than 2 people work towards a common goal, can be called as a
Team. For example: If you assign work to a group, then the work will be divided
between the members and each member will work out their part, without any
coordination with the other members of the group. On the other hand, if you assign
a project to a team, they will collectively take the responsibility and work
together with the goal to achieve the desired result. In a team, the members will
cooperate and coordinate with each other at all times.

What is your greatest fear?
Possible Answer 1
Before some time, public speaking has been a challenge for me. I was very nervous
and hesitate while giving any presentation, so I started taking public speaking
seminars to improve it. Now, I still get nervous before pitches, but I have learned
how to remain calm and get the job done right.
Possible Answer 2
As you know that I have never worked in my life and this is my first job, my
inexperience is my weakness. But I beg to differ. I am confident and a fast
learner. I assure you that I will perform my job without carrying any pre-conceived
notions regarding how I feel.

Possible Answer 1
I would try to find out exactly what the problem was, and evaluate if there was
something I could do to make it right.
Possible Answer 2
I would ask the customer to explain his problem and carefully listen to him. After
that, I do my best to solve his problem. If that problem is not regarding my work
area, I spoke to someone who could help him immediately.

What was the biggest mistake of your life?
At the time of answering this question, you should choose a story containing not
too many mistakes. It should be real.
Talk about the mistake, but it is also important to convince the interviewer that
you never make the same mistake again.
For example:
I think the worst mistake I ever made at work was in my first ever job - five years
ago now. A more senior member of the team seemed to take an instant dislike to me
from the start, and one day she was particularly unpleasant to me in front of
several colleagues.
Later on, I was talking to one of those colleagues who was, I thought, attempting
to console me. Angry and hurt, I foolishly vented my feelings and told her what I
thought of the lady in question. I was naturally shocked to find out that she went
on to tell everyone what I had said and this certainly didn't help my relationship
with the team member who was causing me problems.
Rather than let the situation carry on, I chose to have a quiet word with this lady
to find out what her problem was with me and to see if we could put it behind us.
It turned out it was nothing personal; she just resented the fact that a friend of
hers had also been interviewed for my position and had been turned down. Once we
had got matters out into the air, her behavior changed, and we got on quite well
after that. However, I certainly learned a lot from experience. I learned that
careful communication is vital in managing interpersonal relationships and that if
I have a problem with someone, it's always best to talk it over with them rather
than with someone else.

What was the most difficult decision you have made in your past life?
This question is asked to judge your decision-making capabilities. The interviewer
wants to know, how you take a decision in tough times.
Possible Answer 1
After completing my graduation, the toughest decision is whether to go for higher
studies or do a job. Then I chose the job because getting trained is better than
educated and it was also the demand of that time.
Possible Answer 2
My toughest decision was to take admission in MBA In Foregin. I belong to a middle-
class family, and my father was not in favor of taking admission, but I convinced
him, and today he is very happy.
Possible Answer 3
Before some time when I had to choose between joining a group of employees
protesting some issue, and staying away from the issue. I ended up being a mediator
between our immediate supervisor and employees, and I am glad I made that decision
because it all ended well and without further conflicts in the company
