Female HR Executive Question:

Please make sure that you talk about relevant health conditions, wherever needed while having a discussion during your HR interview questions and answers round. A “serious health condition” generally includes pregnancy or any chronic disease such as epilepsy and cancer.

If you do not have any of the above, do not give out too many details about your illness. For example, if you are suffering from cold flu, say so. Do not exaggerate the situation as it might create a negative impression wherein your HR will start to anticipate your absence in the near future. If you do so, you might bid goodbye to goodies such as travel opportunities, promotions, hikes and even ripe leadership positions.
