How to assess a 0–1 year candidate
At this band you are hiring for learning speed and fundamentals, not a track record. Projects, internships and a short practical task tell you far more than marks or certificates.
Practical exercise
An Excel task: clean an operations dataset and build a small daily MIS with VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP and a pivot.
Red flag at this band: Vague answers about past work with no process they can walk through.
Indicative operations executive salary by experience (India)
| Experience | Indicative CTC | Level |
|---|---|---|
| 0–1 year | ₹2.4–4 LPA | Entry level |
| 1–3 years | ₹3.5–6 LPA | Early career |
| 3–5 years | ₹5–9 LPA | Mid-level |
Indicative market ranges for India, rounded, for guidance only — not MyInternships.in platform data. Metros and funded product companies tend to pay toward the top; tier-2 cities and services firms toward the bottom. Always benchmark against the candidate’s current CTC.
Interview questions for 0–1 year of experience
- How do you handle an order stuck for three days?
- Which Excel functions do you use for MIS?
- How do you prioritise when everything is urgent?
- Walk me through how you plan your day when three things are urgent.
Notice period and ramp-up
Usually an immediate joiner or on a 15–30 day notice. Many are finishing a 2026 degree or a first internship, so confirm the exact date they can start.
Expect four to eight weeks before they are independently useful on routine work, faster if the internship was in the same stack or function.
