1.3. Behavioral Questions

  • Why Should We Hire You?
    •  When you’re getting ready for the interview, take a moment to review the job
      description. Make a list of the requirements for the position, including personality traits,
      skills, and qualifications. Then, make a list of the qualities you have that fit these
      requirements and focus on your strengths that you expect to outstanding you from
      other candidates. To conclusion, it is better if you mention that
    •  For each strength, think of a specific time that you used that trait to achieve something
      at work. For example, if you list that you are a “team player,” think of a time in which
      your ability to work well on a team resulted in a successfully completed project.
      (Here's how to match your qualifications to a job.)
    • Don’t forget to think beyond the job description and consider which of your skills and
      accomplishments make you a better candidate than the competition. For example,
      maybe you have an additional certification that makes you more knowledgeable about
      the company’s product than the typical salesperson. When you’re honing your pitch,
      remember to be positive and to reiterate your interest in the company and the position.
  •  Give me an example of when you had to work under high pressure? And what is your
    solution?
    •  The best way to answer this question is to give an example of how you have handled stress in a previous job. That way, the interviewer can get a clear picture of how well you work in stressful situations.
    • Avoid mentioning a time when you put yourself in a needlessly stressful situation. For example, do not share a story about a time when you were stressed because you procrastinated and had to finish a project quickly. Focus on a time when you were given a difficult task or multiple assignments, and you rose to the occasion. You also should not focus too much on how stressed out you felt. While you should certainly admit that stress happens, emphasize how you dealt with the stress, rather than how it bothered you.
  • If possible, avoid saying you are stressed by a situation that will be common in the job for which you are applying. For example, if you say you get stressed when you're given multiple projects, and you know the job will require you to juggle many assignments at once, you will look unfit for the position.
  • You might even consider mentioning how a little stress can be a helpful motivator for you. You can provide an example of a time the stress of a difficult project helped you be a more creative and productive worker.
  • What is the most difficult situation you faced in 3 year recently and what did you do to overcome it?
    • Tell briefly about the situation (What is it? Why it comes? How it happens?)
    • Emphasize what you did to overcome it and the lesson you learn from this situation.
  • What was your biggest accomplishment?
    • When answering a question about your accomplishments, you don’t want to come across as arrogant, but you do want to share your successes. Take the time to explain your most important accomplishments at work
    • Make a connection. The best way to respond is to give an example of something you accomplished that is directly related to the job that you are interviewing for. Review the job posting. Make a list of job qualifications and skills that match what you’ve included in your resume. Then, think of examples of accomplishments that demonstrate that you have these skills and qualifications. This kind of answer will show that you have what it takes to achieve similar successes in the job you’re applying for.
    • Share examples. When you're asked about your accomplishments, give a specific example of what you did in your last position. That example should correlate closely with the job requirements listed in the posting. Be sure to provide context about the example – for example, what the task was, and what specific accomplishment you achieved. Come to the interview with a few specific examples in mind. This will help you feel prepared for the interview
    • Focus on adding value. When choosing an example of an accomplishment, pick something you accomplished that helped the company you worked for, and even added value to the company. For example, perhaps you reduced the budget for a project, or made a task more efficient. Focus on the company, rather than yourself. This will show the employer that you will be an asset to their organization
  • How do you evaluate success?
    • In your answer, you should be cognizant of the type of job you're applying for. Whereas a large corporation might place all their emphasis on the bottom line, a non-profit would measure success not in money but in social impact. A technology company might place a strong emphasis upon innovation in product development; an online media company emphasizes page views and SEO statistics.
    • Do your research before the interview: browse the company's website, research their presence in the news and media, and see if you can find any information about their mission, vision statement. Pay particular attention to corporate web pages with titles like “Our Mission” or “About Us.” This is the easiest and quickest way of learning how they themselves evaluate success; your goal should be to mirror their definition of success with your own statement. Here's how to research a company. Of course, you'll also want to include aspects of your own personality in your answers
    • If there's an area where your values overlap with the company's, then make sure to emphasize that in the interview. But, you also want to make sure you give a balanced answer, illustrating a dynamic focus on improving your own performance, furthering your company's mission, and making a positive impact overall
    • Ideally, you will be able to show the hiring committee that you share their vision and will be a powerful contributor towards its cultivation and fruition.
  •  Have you ever worked in a team setting where not everyone in the team agreed? How did you handle it?
    • So be prepared. This type of answer always has two parts, and sometimes three. You need to describe a problem, obviously. And you need to show how you actively, not passively, resolved the situation. You don’t necessarily have to be the one who solved the entire problem, though if you did, good job for you for showing initiative. Many times, however, calling in the right people is the best and most appropriate form of action. Either way, don’t be shy about telling this to your interviewer.
    • A third part to answering this type of question involves sharing your personal philosophy. Your philosophy can be about your work ethic in general or certain industry-specific issues.
    • Don’t stress about coming up with a major problem. Not everyone can rescue a company from financial ruin. A problem can be as simple as helping two colleagues who disagree about how to address a task resolve their differences.
    • What you perceive as a problem and how you choose to resolve it tells a whole lot about who you are as a person.
  • ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

5. Other Questions
  • What is your greatest strength?
    •  The best way to respond is to describe the skills and experience that you have which directly correlates with the job you are applying for. Be prepared to answer by making a list of the qualifications mentioned in the job posting.
    • Then, make a list of your skills that match those listed. This list can include education or training, soft skills, hard skills, or past work experiences. Narrow your list of skills down to 3 - 5 particularly strong skills.
    • Next to each skill, note an example of how you have used that strength in the past.
    • This will prepare you for when the employer asks you to elaborate on a particular strength. When you answer, you will be sharing strengths that match the qualifications the company is seeking. Also incorporate these power words that help make a good impression into your responses.
    • The closer a match you are to the stated job qualifications, the more likely you'll be to get a job offer.
  • What is your biggest weakness?
    • Option 1: One approach to answering this question is to analyze the key skills and strengths required for the position you are interviewing for and then come up with an honest shortcoming which is not essential for success in that job.
    • Option 2: Discuss skills that you have improved upon during your previous job, so you are showing the interviewer that you can make improvements when necessary.
    • Option 3: Turn a negative into a positive. For example, a sense of urgency to get projects completed or wanting to triple-check every item in a spreadsheet can be turned into a strength i.e. you are a candidate who will make sure that the project is done on time and your work will be close to perfect
