Some useful information/links for QA/Testing interview questions (with few answers) - Part 1

I had checked mostly all links above still if any of the link is not working than let me know instantly. Also not all links may be interested to you but these questions will help you in your carrier somewhere at some point of time.

Apart from above, below are the questions list only which I have noted down after my each interview:

• Give me your introduction. Describe yourself in 5-7 lines.
• Define Strengths and Weaknesses of yours.
• What are some of the highest challenges you have faced during your professional carrier?
• How fast will you be fit into our organization structure and work culture?
• What motivates you to move forward and apply new ideas?
• Why should we offer you this job?
• Describe a time when you brought value to your team or your company. Do you feel was that important?
• How can you motivate your juniors/colleagues? How can you handle self motivation?
• What skills do you have for testing which separates you from others regular testers?
• How would you manage resources if you will given a team of say 5-10 persons?
• Can you able to work in a environment where you are the only one responsible for the entire testing activities?
• Who was the most difficult person you have ever deal with, and how did you respond?
• What your expectations from our organizations? What you want here after say 4 years?
