Oracle hiring and interview process

• Written Exam
• Technical Interview process
• HR Interview

Note: The format of the exam is not permanent and can be changed any time by the company. 

An overview of the Oracle written tests

Oracle conducts an online test for candidates that consists of the following sections: 

• Logical reasoning
• Verbal reasoning
• Numerical reasoning
• Diagrammatic reasoning
• Situational judgment test 

Logical Reasoning - Logical reasoning examinations examine a candidate's capacity to use conceptual, non-verbal information in problem-solving. Candidates will be shown a succession of shapes or images, and their task will be to identify the rule or pattern that applies to the situation and then link all of the presented items together. The test is timed giving candidates about a minute to solve one question.

Verbal Reasoning - The capacity to grasp textual passages and provide analytic feedback is evaluated through verbal reasoning examinations. You will first be shown a section of the text, after which you will be presented with a statement connected to the section. You then need to determine if the statement is 'true,' 'false,' or 'cannot say,' as the case may be. Remember that you do not need prior knowledge of the subject to take this test. 

Numerical Reasoning - Your mathematics abilities will be put to the test. The questions will deal with shape of graphs, charts, or tables, and your responses will be collected using multiple-choice questions. Your capacity to think analytically & rationally with numerical data will be evaluated through this timed test. We strongly suggest that you familiarize yourself with basic mathematical concepts such as percentages, ratios, and fractions and practice taking simulated examinations of numerical thinking. 

Diagrammatic Reasoning - Diagrammatic reasoning tests assess a candidate's ability to think logically and solve complex problems. The level of difficulty of diagrammatic reasoning questions could be higher. Hence, one needs to practice well through the previous year's questions or mock tests. 

We have an important list of Oracle aptitude questions for you that will go a long way in your preparation. Take a look.

HR questions for Oracle interviews 

Apart from the aptitude test and technical interview round, HR interview is an important round in the Oracle recruitment process. Here we have listed some of the most frequently asked placement interview questions for Oracle HR interview round.

Q42. What do you consider to be some of your most significant strengths?

My upbeat and optimistic outlook on life is one of the characteristics that best defines me. Even in the most trying of circumstances, I can maintain my motivation with the assistance of this strategy. I also get along well with people and can quickly pick up new ideas, contributing to hassle-free teamwork because of my abilities. As a team member working on the project, I was assigned XYZ-related tasks, all of which I could complete thanks to my expertise in XYZ (skill) satisfactorily.

Q43. How do yu manage your time?

I consider myself extremely proactive, and I always make it a point to finish whatever I'm working on within the allotted amount of time. When I have a lot of things to get done, I like to list them in order of importance and then try to finish them in that order. The competition for XYZ in which I had taken part happened at the same time as our semester examinations. My workday was organized to allow me to finish both of my assignments, which I had planned for in advance. In addition, I came out on top of the rest of my classmates in the semester's examinations, and I placed in the top X competitors in the Y competition.

Q44. What is the fundamental difference between hard work and smart work?

Putting in a lot of effort to accomplish something is the essence of what we mean when we talk about 'hard work.' On the other hand, performing work that requires intelligence would require fewer resources to accomplish the same thing. On the other hand, areas that have already been tried and tested can be managed more intelligently because they have already been subjected to a certain level of scrutiny. Both of these aspects, however, are interdependent and go hand in hand with one another.

Q45. What are some things you want to accomplish in the future?

My primary objective is to obtain employment with a company like yours, hone my abilities, and broaden my horizons so that I can contribute significantly to the company's success. Speaking of my future goals, I intend to become XYZ in this field, and I want to ensure that I can keep this company at the top of the heap in this industry.

Q46. What makes you think working for our company would be a good fit for you?

Your business has always stood out to me as an industry leader in innovation, and I continue to hold that opinion. Your recent moves in the market have proven to be a major success, and I can't think of any other company where I could develop my initial skills, which will help me in the long run. I would like to work for you because your recent market moves have proven to be a major success.

Q47. What was it that drove you to perform so well at your job?

When I set my mind to something, I always give it my all and do it to the best of my abilities. When I was young, my father told me that whenever you do a task with your sentimental attachment to it, you need to do it with 200% of your commitment because it might continue to live longer than you do. He said this was because the task might continue to live longer than you do. To ensure that it will stick in your mind, you must perform the task to the best of your abilities.

Q48. Are you able to relocate to a new location?

Ever since I was a child, I've had a strong desire to see the rest of the world. Therefore, I do not anticipate that relocating will present a significant challenge. I know it will be an exciting experience, so I can't wait. Even though I will miss my friends and relatives back in my hometown, it is now much simpler to maintain connections with people in other parts of the country thanks to advancements made in internet technology.

Q49. In your opinion, what is creative thinking?

I believe that the capacity for creativity exists in every one of us, from the three-year-old who draws a car to the world-famous Michelangelo who sculpted the Sistine Chapel. The moment we open our eyes and take in the world around us, creativity begins to flow into our minds because our focus is immediately drawn to whatever catches our attention.

Q50. In 10 years, what do you see yourself doing with your life?

I see myself in a leadership position at your company in ten years. Thank you for your consideration. My goals are to become more knowledgeable in my field and to serve as a source of motivation for those who report to me. I want to be in a position where I can serve as a mentor or guide to others. As a result, occupying a position of authority will facilitate my progress toward achieving this objective.

Q51. How would you describe the perfect employee?

Employees who accept responsibility for their actions, are dependable, make it to work on time, perform what they say they will do, and don't let the other members of their team down are highly appreciated employees.
