Will You Be Comfortable Working Overtime?

No Never! ❌

This is a common question in interviews, and your answer can say a lot about you!

Here are two ways to answer it:
Option 1:
👉Yes, I know some projects or deadlines might need extra hours, and I’m happy to help when needed to support the team.

Option 2:
👉I’m focused on meeting deadlines and doing my best during work hours. While I can work extra hours if needed, I believe in keeping a good balance between work and personal life.

The key is to show you’re flexible but also value balance.

🚨 These Resume Mistakes Can Cost You Your Dream Job! 🚨


Recruiters spend less than 10 seconds scanning a resume. If yours has these mistakes, you might be out before you even get a chance to interview!

❌ Too Long or Too Short – Keep it one page (or two if you have extensive experience). Recruiters don’t have time for a novel!

❌ Generic, Overused Phrases – “Hardworking team player”? Nope. Instead, highlight specific achievements that set you apart.

❌ No Keywords from the Job Description – Many companies use ATS software to filter resumes. If your resume doesn’t match the job description, it might never be seen by a human.

❌ Typos & Formatting Errors – One tiny mistake can make you look careless. Always proofread with tools like Grammarly!

❌ Not Quantifying Achievements – Instead of “Managed a team,” say “Led a team of 10, increasing efficiency by 30%.” Numbers grab attention!

✅ A polished resume can 10x your shortlisting chances.
