What Are The Main Questions That Are Asked In An HR Interview?

The main questions asked by a Human Resource Manager are mostly based off the resume. An HR will not ask questions based on the resume. The questions he might ask would be that why did the person leave the previous job, what went wrong and what is that he really requires in the new job he is looking for. The HR may also ask the person's future plans and how long is he willing to work with the company. The HR may test the speaking ability of the person by allowing him to talk on any of his favourite subjects. The HR may also throw a few general knowledge questions at the interviewee. The HR can also take a short written test based on aptitude to check his IQ.
