Here’s the FULL LIST of DATA ENTRY INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself.
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed for this role today. Before I applied for this data entry post, I studied the job description to make sure I had the knowledge, the skills, and the qualities to perform to a high standard. Over the years, I have worked in various positions where a requirement to work at pace, apply strict attention to detail skills, and multi-task have been the norm. For example, in a previous role, I was responsible for periodically collating company data and information that was then used by the company’s managers to enhance the business’s performance. I always took great pride in my work, and I would describe myself as very well organized, a meticulous planner, and someone who can be relied upon to do their duties to a high standard. Outside of work I keep myself fit and active which in turn ensures I have the highest concentration levels possible at work. If you hire me in this data entry post I will always ensure I follow company rules and procedures, I will take responsibility for my development, and I will conduct my duties with integrity and passion.”
Q2. What are the most important skills needed to work in data entry?
