  • #15 Do you work well under pressure?

    #15 Do you work well under pressure?
    Nov 23 2021
    • In most cases, the best answer to this question is answering yes. Working well under pressure is a good trait to have. 
    • However, I think if you answer that you work the same with pressure and without pressure, the interviewer will be more impressed. 
    • You will need to explain in words why this is better. Here are some of my answers.

    #14 How do you make important decisions?
    Nov 16 2021
    • There are many ways to answer this question, and if you have a reasonable method of making decisions, it will probably be sufficient. 
    • One answer I thought of included not being afraid of asking your manager. 
    • You can follow up by saying even the best needs mentoring, and you always want to improve. 
    • So basically, this could work as an answer, but depending on the job, you might have a better shot with an answer like my example.

    #13 How do you handle change?
    Nov 9 2021
    • "Are you good at dealing with change?"
    • Dealing with change is common in the work place. A simple yes will not be sufficient to impress the interviewer. 
    • This is another type of question where everyone will have similar answers. 
    • Of course everyone is going to claim being excellent dealing with change. 
    • You got to communicate that you are really good at dealing with change. Here are some examples for you.

    #12 Do you manage your time well?
    Nov 2 2021
    • "In what ways do you manage your time well?" 
    • The first question is a little easier. The second question is more difficult because it requires an example. 
    • I'm going to give an example for the second question and you should be able to use it for the first question as well.

  • #11 In what ways are you organized and disorganized

    #11 In what ways are you organized and disorganized
    Oct 26 2021
    • This is another variation to the previous question. 
    • This question is a little better because the question wants you to identify an area you are disorganized. 
    • Make sure to emphasize the organized portion of the answer. 
    • If you are truly an organized person, then it is really tough thinking about an area you are disorganized. 
    • So thinking ahead of time will allow you to make a good impression with a solid answer.

  • #10 Are you an organized person?

    #10 Are you an organized person?
    Oct 19 2021
    • You can think that this question is stupid. Actually, I do. Everyone will say they are organized. 
    • Who will admit otherwise? You should know that everyone will say similar things. Take this time to be creative with your answer. 
    • You can use these types of questions to leave a strong impression with a creative answer. Or, if you are not creative, then the best way to answer this question is with an example. 
    • Using a story is more believable and easier to remember. Feel free to mix in a little humor to make it more memorable.

  • #9 What does failure mean to you?

    #9 What does failure mean to you?
    Oct 12 2021
    • This is quite simple. I don't see many right answers so this is what I suggest. You can believe in two of the following. 
    • One, you believe that failure is not achieving your goal no matter what. 
    • Or two, you can believe failure is only when nothing is learned from the failure. I believe in the latter, but you don't have to agree with me.

    #8 What does success mean to you?
    Oct 5 2021
    • There are many things you can say. This type of question doesn't have a wrong answer. 
    • All answers will be correct. So the best answer is how good you can make the answer. 
    • A mediocre answer will be something like completing a project on time. 
    • You can say this, but add another twist to make the answer a little better. Here is an example.
