Fazal interviews. Now these are complex interviews that most renowned organizations like Google, HP, Microsoft, and Amazon and so on, are basically employing to see how you think on your feet. concurrently. These questions also help the interviewer determine how you approach difficult situations and how you progress in the face of a challenge, because these are the traits that all good employers are looking for. Now, I know that all good candidates try to mention these skills and these traits on their resumes, and try also to portray them while they're giving an interview. But hiring managers and HR professionals these days do not believe what is written on your resume and they want to see it to believe it, which is why they will ask you trick questions that are meant to confuse you and to judge whether you are able to solve a problem there and then under tremendous amount of stress.

Next, I will be sharing with you personal questions that renowned organizations are asking these days and how you can go about it to give a positive answer. The first is that design an evacuation plan for building the building that you are basically present in. Now thinking about it, this is such an absurd question that it is humanly impossible to design or give an evacuation plan in such a short span of time. But that is the challenge in front of you. And that is exactly what they want you to think. So in this case, what you have to do is, number one, you have to stay calm.

Think about the problem, and start answering this problem by asking questions. So you can start off by asking, how many floors does that building have? How many employees do you have? What kind of disaster Are you looking at, for example, an evacuation plan for a fire compared to an earthquake will be completely different. So what I'm trying to say is that start answering this kind of a puzzle question by asking more questions, throw the ball in his or her court, so that they start giving you information and try to compile that information and give a concrete answer. Now there is no right or wrong answer in this case, tell them that this is an approximate plan that I'm presenting, if given more time and if I have maps about the building the structure on which it stands, the number of employees, the kind of seating plan that you have all the possible fire exits and emergency exits that you have, if you start asking questions with regards to these factors, you will be able to give an approximate answer that will impress the interviewer.

The second example is that how many tennis balls can you fit in a limousine? 10,000 1000 20,000 You know, there is no right answer about this. You can give an approximate answer but you cannot give the exact answer. So first of all, clarify this after doing your initial mathematics, tell them that you will be presenting them with an approximate answer. And you need about let's say three minutes or maybe four minutes to calculate it. So start off by thinking of the limousine as a box and it is perfectly fine if you ask for a piece of paper and a pen.

Draw the limousine. See the effect cubic size over there, and then draw a small tennis ball as well, trying to determine the volume of the tennis ball, let's say for four and a half cubic inches, and just write that down. At the same time since you have drawn a picture of the limousine or the overall volume of the limousine, make sure that you account for the space that is consumed by the seats and the steering wheel, you can subtract that from the overall volume that you have, and then divide the remaining volume in the limousine by the volume of one tennis ball. And hence you will have a very good approximate answer that I am sure will impress the interviewer. The third possible question that you can have, or an example that I would like to share with you is how much would it cost to clean all the windows in New York?

You know, this is a very strange question to ask. But that's the whole purpose of it. Now it is physically humanly impossible to calculate how many windows does New York have the size of each and every window and how much it will cost? Okay, so instead of giving an answer Try to use your common sense over here. You can start the conversation or your answer by asking simple questions. And while doing so try to calculate your best possible answer.

In this case, I think the best possible answer is that instead of calculating the overall number of windows, New York has tried to determine the rate of cleaning a window as far as a square foot or a square meter is concerned. And if you let's say, if you tell them that it would cost approximately $5 per square meter, that I think would serve the purpose, and you will be able to impress the interviewer in a very short span of time. So what I'm trying to say is that in most puzzle questions, if you use your common sense, and you feel relaxed, and you just think about the problem, or the puzzle that is at hand, you will be able to give a concrete answer that is able to impress the interviewer. In the end, I would like to tell you that interview questions like these can be extremely intimidating, and they can catch you completely off guard.

But the thing is that that is the whole purpose of the interview. Renowned organizations business Want to see how quickly you can think about different problems and how you perform under a stressful situation? So instead of panicking, use your common sense. Use your creativity skills. Use time to your advantage, engage the interviewer in a dialogue, try to understand the puzzle or the problem in a better way, and then give your best possible answer and summarize it by giving a proper justification so that the interviewer can acknowledge the fact that you actually thought about it. You performed well under pressure, and you were able to give an approximate answer that pleases the interviewer.
