This interview had happened in Mumbai for New IIMs (Indian Institute of Management) -After 15 minutes of sweet interview , they hit me with a question.Question: What is Marketing ? ( I am in marketing dept of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL)).Answering, I said, "Something that contained two words - "need" and "want" ".Next question to me was, "So, what is the difference between "need" and "want" ?"Meanwhile, a guy was serving tea & biscuits to the interviewers. In the heat of moment I said,"Chai patti" (tea-bag) is need for tea and having biscuits is want."The whole panel laughed a lot and I, too, shared in the laughter. Then they started pulling my legs by saying -Panelist 1: I want lemon tea. Is this my need or want? I said it's your want.Panelist 2: I want more warm water. Is this my need or want ?The whole interview surrounded on Chai (Tea) and we had Chai pe Charcha (Discussion based on tea) :DP.S: This interview happened on 15th Feb 2016. The results will come in May, 2016.Update: Converted :D

The best one I’ve heard of (I’ve also used it myself) is this:Let’s fast forward a year from today. You’ve made this hire—maybe it’s me and maybe it’s not—and a whole year has gone by. What does a homerun hire look like for you? In other words, what does success look like for you? What needs to happen in that year for you to look back and say ‘WOW, we are so happy we picked this person for this role’?I like the question because it shows an interest in the interviewer’s problem: hiring a new person that’s largely an unknown quantity. It shows concern for their goals. But it also gives you a blueprint (if you’re hired) on what you need to do to succeed in the role.Make sure you write it down though! Because most people at that point are focusing on getting the job, not what they’ll have to do to succeed if they do get it.
