Hi Sana,
No one can give you exact answer as these are question to judge you as an individual. You need to do some soul searching as to why you wanted to do HR and what unique qualities you feel you have as a professional that you think will benefit the organization.
No company will giving you a great career without expecting a great outcome from you as an HR. Think on those lines and you should be able to answer your own queries.
Also I assume you are a fresher. Please prepare a list of anticipated questions in the interview and prepare your own answer and document it for your future reference. It helps. The interviewer is not only listening but also studying you. He will know if the replies are copied and pasted. Remember "DO NOT COPY IF DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PASTE".
All the best.

Sana,
The questions that you have put as rightly pointed out by Jhuma, judges an individual. Moreover, for such question there are no right and wrong answer. It all depends upon the individual who answers the question and the confidence he expresses. Confidence plus an impressive answer for the interviewer will get you through…
Hence pls don’t look for an EXACT answer, which by no means is correct. Innovate, try and let people know they can definitely help you improve and suggest to perfect your answer…

Hey Sana,
Well in that case may be you might like the following points. Hope this should get you going!!! :-)
Below is list of five common sources of inspiration or driving forces as you say:
1. Having a Vision of Success - Some of us are inspired by visualizing success. This source of self-inspiration is part visualization and part ambition, usually present among those who have a high energy-level and are willing to continually try new things and grow their careers. The inspiration is the visualization, which propels one to do more. Books like “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne are based on this source of inspiration.
2. Observing the Achievement of Others – Some of us are inspired when we see others, comparably placed in life, succeed. This source of inspiration may come from watching a friend or colleague move ahead (remember that inspiration is different from jealousy) – or watching someone achieve something as a result of hard work. Honestly, I love underdog stories. Not the sappy and contrived Hollywood stories -- but the real rags-to-riches make-it-happen stories. They renew my energy to do more with my own career. Over the past few months I’ve been watching Susan Boyle’s video whenever I need a dose of inspiration.
3. Having Faith – You may enjoy inspiration through your faith. You respond with greater activity because you have a higher calling to act or are propelled in a way that is consistent with the teaching of your faith. If you have a strong faith, you may see God working through others and allow your own actions to be propelled through this desire to do the work for a greater good.
4. Having a Desire to Give - You may be inspired to achieve in your career because you have a strong desire to give those you love more in their lives. You are inspired by the happiness you can bring others, you do not want to fail, or disappoint those you love. Newlyweds and new parents often enjoy this sense of inspiration.
5. Transferring Emotional Stimulation – Have you ever been inspired to do more from taking in natural beauty, art, poetry, or music. The feelings produced help you transcend your current state and transfer positive emotions which, in turn, energize your activities. Music does it for me. While I love and appreciate art, I have not yet been brought to a higher state myself as a result of it. I know so many people who take hiking trips and return with a renewed sense of purpose. (They almost make me want to take up hiking.) Again, inspiration is personal.
What skills you think are needed to add value to an organization…. Well here is top 9 that you need to have!!!
#1: Organization
Human Resources management requires an orderly approach. Organized files, strong time management skills and personal efficiency are key to the Human Resources function. You’re dealing with people’s lives and careers here, and when a manager requests a personnel file or a compensation recommendation that lines up with both the organization and the industry, it won’t do to say, “Hold on. I’ll see if I can find it.”
#2: Multitasking
On any day, an HR professional will deal with an employee’s personal issue one minute, a benefit claim the next and a recruiting strategy for a hard-to-fill job the minute after. Priorities and business needs move fast and change fast, and colleague A who needs something doesn’t much care if you’re already helping colleague B. You need to be able to handle it all, all at once.
#3: Discretion and Business Ethics
Human Resources professionals are the conscience of the company, as well as the keepers of confidential information. As you serve the needs of top management, you also monitor officers’ approaches to employees to ensure proper ethics are observed. You need to be able to push back when they aren’t, to keep the firm on the straight and narrow. Not an easy responsibility! Of course, you always handle appropriately, and never divulge to any unauthorized person, confidential information about anyone in the organization.
#4: Dual Focus
HR professionals need to consider the needs of both employees and management. There are times you must make decisions to protect the individual, and other times when you protect the organization, its culture, and values. These decisions may be misunderstood by some, and you may catch flak because of it, but you know that explaining your choices might compromise confidential information. That’s something you would never do.
#5: Employee Trust
Employees expect Human Resources professionals to advocate for their concerns, yet you must also enforce top management’s policies. The HR professional who can pull off this delicate balancing act wins trust from all concerned.
#6: Fairness
Successful HR professionals demonstrate fairness. This means that communication is clear, that peoples’ voices are heard, that laws and policies are followed, and that privacy and respect is maintained.
#7: Dedication to Continuous Improvement
HR professionals need to help managers coach and develop their employees. The goal is continued improvement and innovation as well as remediation. And looking to their own houses, the HR professional also uses technology and other means to continuously improve the HR function itself.
#8: Strategic Orientation
Forward-thinking HR professionals take a leadership role and influence management’s strategic path. In gauging and filling the labor needs of the company, devising compensation schemes, and bringing on board new skill sets leading to business growth, they provide the proof for the often-heard management comment, “People are our most important asset.”
#9: Team Orientation
Once, companies were organized into hierarchies of workers headed by supervisors. Today, the team is king. HR managers must consequently understand team dynamics and find ways to bring disparate personalities together and make the team work.
