Campushrrecruit, if you are looking to test interpersonal skills, then you need to use Behavioral-Based questioning. Good examples would be something like:
Tell me about a time when you had to work with a coworker you disliked. What was the situation? How did you resolve the problem? What was the result?
Tell me about a time when you disagreed with the actions or decisions of your manager or supervisor. What was the situation? What did you do to resolve this problem? What was the result?
If people are leaving jobs due to conflicts with coworkers, managers, supervisors, etc., THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TELL YOU THAT. You need to use other methods to determine their ability to get along with other people.

Dear Mr. John,
Your way of seeking information is truly admirable, especially using Behavioral Based Questions. In response to your query, if a candidate provides an evasive answer, how can you obtain the desired information?
Allow me to attempt to address your question:
1. I commit to dedicating 100% effort during my scheduled 8-hour workday. If necessary, I will complete the assigned tasks and depart promptly. I believe there is no need to consider others' preferences in this context.
2. By maintaining a neutral stance, I see no reason to be concerned about any given situation.
3. Therefore, I anticipate no challenges in resolving issues, leading to consistently positive outcomes.
If you aim to assess interpersonal skills, utilizing Behavioral Based questioning is essential. Here are some effective examples:
- Describe a situation where you collaborated with a colleague you found challenging.
- What were the circumstances?
- How did you address the issue?
- What was the outcome?
- Share an instance where you disagreed with your manager's decisions.
- What was the scenario?
- How did you attempt to resolve the conflict?
- What was the ultimate result?
It is unlikely that individuals leaving jobs due to conflicts will openly disclose such reasons. Thus, alternative methods are necessary to evaluate their ability to collaborate effectively with others.
Thank you.

Hi!
Just to say that I'm young, energetic, and enthusiastic. I've got great passion for [your Department], knowing that it has its own caliber. I would opt for a position in your organization, and I came to know that this company (the interviewer's) has a great reputation as well. So, I hope there are great opportunities provided for me to improve my skills. For further clarification, feel free to contact me at

Hi, that's a big problem that you are facing, but every problem has a solution too. The answer to their question must be that you left because you were not getting your worth and not being paid according to your talent.

Dear All,
I have a different view. One does not leave a well-paying, or rather any job, without a job offer in hand unless he is extremely uncomfortable in the present job. All the answers provided are good but will be difficult to defend in case they are well probed. Everybody understands that work conditions can be a cause for leaving. I left my previous job due to that reason. When asked why I left my previous job, I, for one, stated the fact and was offered the job. It may work out in case you state the truth. I hope you come across people who see your point of view.

Dear all,
Most interviewers ask questions in a way that allows them to observe your attitude and evaluate how you provide satisfactory answers. Stay positive. Pramod's responses will definitely give you a boost.

Karthik,
In South Africa, we have a saying that goes, "Nothing good comes so easily." So, Prathik, just keep on doing what you are doing and let the interviewers know that you want a change. You also desire a place full of greener pastures, just like them. After all, they too seek greener pastures, right?
