A company is only as good as its employees, which is why Google places a heavy emphasis on the interview process. Here are the three types of questions Google will ask you during an interview. (via CNBCMakeIt)
To determine whether they want to hire you, the tech giant uses carefully crafted questions designed to elicit thoughtful answers. According to the book, there are three types of interview questions you should be prepared to answer at Google:The interview shouldn't be an overly-stressful situation for you, note the authors, but Google does ask questions meant to push you.These types of questions are complex and have a wide range of answers so that Google can understand your thought process.
Google doesn't want applicants to regurgitate the experiences listed on their resume. To avoid this, the company asks questions that draw out what insights you gained from previous positions.This framing is meant to catch you off guard, so you can't provide rehearsed answers, and forces you to think from a unique perspective, write the authors.
"Both of these can lead to a far better understanding of the candidate," the authors explain. They are also intentionally specific, which allows the interviewer to gauge how well you listen to and interpret the questions.You're even more likely to be asked scenario questions when interviewing for a senior position because they reveal how people will "use and trust their own staff," the authors explain.
One question you may get is, "When you are in a crisis, or need to make an important decision, how do you do it?" Your answer will reveal whether you're a "do it yourself if you want it done right" person or whether you're able to delegate and rely on others, the authors write."Generic answers to these questions indicate someone who lacks insight on issues," say Schmidt and Rosenberg. "You want the answers to be interesting, or at least specific."
