💬 Interview Questions
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Pick a moment in your life that you feel was a turning point for you. Describe the event and how it affected you.
What was the most interesting question?
A man runs into your house looking panicked. He then runs out and you see him run to the left. Another man walks in with a knife and says, "Where is that guy...I'm going to kill him!" What do you say to the man? (In the end, I was told that the true answer is to tell the truth...) I said that I would like to say, "I DOn't know" but in reality, if I was scared for my life, I would probably tell the truth. (I think they were looking for the idea that you would not lie)
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me what you know about the current healthcare system in India.
