Question

Accepted Answer

1. Talked about my upbringing and family background (joint family)  to highlight my strength of being a people's person (as I was being interviewed for Business Dev Mgr role); 2. we're taught everything from our early ages only to have a basic understanding of different subjects and the way this world is progressing it is good to have cumulative knowledge of both technical and managerial aspects of work (elaborate more on how to use your knowledge to have best outcomes but refrain from using any word which you are not aware of as you can face cross questioning); 3. Businessman; 4. Because I want to do something on my own (they're only asking this question to check whether you will stay with the company or will you go back to family business after sometime, just make them believe you are here to stay); 5. I gave brief answers (make sure to be aware of your family business or parents' job only to show your strength as being observant  but don't go overboard as you need to show you are interested in working with the company and not any work for family); 6. Be prepared with any technical terms in your educational background; 7. yes, if the job demands me to (this is on your discretion, but the company prefers someone who can relocate)
