Interview tips
Driver interview tips
Driver interviews usually include a short driving test. They check your licence, your driving and how well you know the city.
What to bring
- Driving licence for the right vehicle (LMV, HMV or commercial badge)
- Aadhaar card
- Police verification, if you have one
- Experience letter from earlier driving jobs
And the usual: a photo ID with a photocopy, your resume if you have one, and two passport-size photos.
Questions they often ask
How many years have you been driving?
Say the years and the vehicles you have driven: car, tempo, truck or bus.
Have you had any accidents or challans?
Answer truthfully. If there was one, say what you learned.
Do you know the city routes?
Name main routes and areas you know. Say you use maps for new places.
Can you do night duty or outstation trips?
Say clearly what you can and cannot do.
What to show them
Calm, safe driving in the testBasic vehicle checks: tyres, oil, brakesKeeping the vehicle cleanBeing on time and polite to passengers
Good questions to ask
- What are the duty hours, and is overtime or night allowance paid?
- Who pays for fuel, tolls and parking?
- Is food or stay given on outstation trips?
For any interview
The basics, from the day before to the offer letter: how to get ready for a job interview.
Stay safe
- Never pay anyone to get an interview or a job: no registration fee, no training fee, no uniform deposit.
- Never hand over your original documents to keep. Showing them is fine; they can keep photocopies.
- Don't share OTPs, bank PINs or passwords. No real employer needs them.
- Go to interviews at an office or a public place in the daytime, and tell someone where you are going.
