Interviewed for an HR internship through a virtual Microsoft Teams call. The interview was conducted as a phone-style call with no camera required.
The interview was straightforward and focused on getting to know the candidate’s background, motivation, and understanding of HR concepts. The recruiter asked several basic behavioral and introductory questions, such as:
“Can you walk me through your resume?”
“Tell me about yourself.”
“Why are you interested in pursuing an internship?”
Questions about familiarity with HR functional areas such as:
employee relations
talent acquisition
talent management
HR communications
Wanted to know whether candidates had exposure to HR concepts through coursework, work experience, or both, and how those experiences shaped their interest in the field.
