Internship Interview Questions and Answers

This question gives you the chance to come into the limelight. If you have any real example of yours where you have motivated other team members, then share it with the expressions. If you have been motivated by someone else in the past, then share that example and make their story yours.

The important thing to remember here is to be patient. Describe the situation politely to the interviewer and make sure to keep both sides of the argument/conflict in your answer. This question is to figure out how analytical you are and how you will react to people’s issues in the future.

With your answer to this question, the interviewer will get the idea of your interest and can easily determine whether they can give you the similar work that you are expecting or not. Explain your answer in detail and try to add the agenda of doing this internship. Give a deep thought on the benefits of getting this internship, like how this will gonna help you in your career and what new things you are excited to learn about; that you can easily figure out from the job description.

This question is important to ask for an interviewer. With this, he can judge you whether you are here for some reason or would you take this internship for granted. So make sure to show some enthusiasm towards the internship position and seriousness for your career.

Your strengths should fall in these categories, pick two or three and elaborate it with real-life examples: Team player, Workaholic, Creativity, Multitasking, Good communication skills, Good social skills, Honesty, Dedication, Problem solver, Initiative taker, Good writer, Respect for all, etc. Never say you don't have any weaknesses. This will display amateur and arrogant behavior. Everybody has weaknesses but it's important to display them in such a way that should not hinder your selection.

Some examples:

• Single tasker (Finish one task at a time. Greater or smaller doesn't matter to you. You just put all your focus on it and don't settle until it's done.)
• Introvert (Keep on hustling on your own),
• Self-criticism (Blame yourself and improve),
• Multitasker (Take too much on my plate but I get it done, always),
• Sensitive (Can say no attitude), etc.

If you have a good strategy already, go with it and explain it. Otherwise,
Sir, I take a moment to analyze different tasks altogether. Tasks that need urgent attention are my priority. Then comes the tasks which have time but are important. After that, I do the tasks which need little attention. In all this, I am flexible enough to perform short tasks when needed in between these priority tasks.

Pick up the instance of your life or a college project that will display at least 2 - 3 strengths of yours. Even if you have taken help from your friend or teacher, don't be afraid to tell it.

Sir interruptions are part of life. Whether it's an urgent phone call or friends asking for hanging out or a family visit. To avoid this I make sure to do all the important tasks early. For example: During my project delivery in college, I spend 30-40 minutes every day in the 6 months duration to avoid last-minute delay. As a result, I submit my result and presentation in a given time frame and get praised by my teacher for it.

Explain a challenging project of yours in detail. It could be your college project, part-time job project, or project you built through self-learning. The project should be creative, fun, big, related to your field, and should display your excitement with it.

Anything which I will learn here other than my studies will be fruitful for my future. The greater the experience I gain, the more successful I will become.
