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 Short Answers : "To me, success means to have a goal, plan the steps to achieve the goal, implement the plan, and finally achieve the goal" "Success means to produce high quality work before the deadline" "Success to me is knowing that my contributions positively impacted my company" Long Answers : "Success to me means completing a task and when looking back, thinking I couldn't have done it better To succeed is to complete a task or assignment on time in an excellent manner But that's only half of it The results should be good and the people involved should gain a valuable lesson or experience For example, if it was a group project, and only two people out of four really did the work, I wouldn't call that success If everyone participated and worked together providing a valuable deliverable then it's a success So I think both the result and the process should be great to call something a success" This answer is showing that you believe in delivering great quality work Moreover, it is implying how much you value team work If you value teamwork highly, then it is safe to assume that you would make a great team player

2. Describe a Situation Where You Disagreed With a Supervisor ?
Correct Answer: Standard interview tips and techniques still apply Do not speak negatively about any supervisors, coworkers or former jobs It is acceptable to share a specific situation that occurred with a former boss, but do not go into detail about the disagreement Focus instead on what you did to help the supervisor see your point of view You may be asked a follow up question, such as ?Did they ultimately see your point of view?? Be honest Did they follow your advice or didn?t they? The answer is not as important as the presentation Do not sound bitter in your response if they did not ?They did see my point of view They chose a different path, but they understood my concerns and beliefs in the end?
3. Have you ever hired anyone? Why did you choose them?
Correct Answer: If you have hired one or more people during your career, your answer might go something like this: " Yes, I have hired peopleI have also decided whether some internal applicants were right for jobs in my department The first time I hired someone ,I concentrated on checking off all the right qualificatiosI just went down a checklist Since then,though, I've learned that some candidates who became excellent workers didn't necessarily have every qualification on that checklistThey more than make up for what they lacked in the beginning with enthusiasm and a willingness to work with others" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you've never hired anyone? Show the interviewer you appreciate that he or she is trying to evaluate both your management potential and people skills,and try something like this: "Not realy,but on several occasions I was asked to speak to prospective applicants and offer my opinion Ofcourse , in those cases, I was trying to determine whether that person would be a team player and if he or she would get along with the other people in the department"
Correct Answer: Most recently, we had a new hire (Prakash) that was really struggling with getting to work on time, and I knew the boss (Dan) was getting irritated Over lunch one day I explained to Prakash how important it was to our boss for everyone to be there at least 10 minutes early It was personal with the Harry, but you could really get on his bad side when you were frequently late The new employee was grateful for the advice At his previous employment, the boss was only concerned about the work getting done on time; he/she did not "watch the clock"
5. Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a co-worker who wasn't doing his/her fair share of the work. What did you do and what was the outcome?
Correct Answer: I worked closely with Shilpa who, for the most part, always carried her fair share of the work load During a stressful time, working on a project with a deadline, I realized Shilpa's contributions to the project were almost minimal I made the decision to wait until after the project to speak with her I'm glad I did, because I learned she'd been going through a very tough time in her personal life and she appreciated my willingness to go the extra mile so the project was completed on time As a result, our ability to work well together significantly increased
Correct Answer: The Best way to answer this question: Be honest but stay positive Of course, your answer should be based on the real reason you left, but put a positive spin on it That means, you should try to frame your honest answer in the most positive way possibleDo not lie, be truthful and honest but do not be harsh on a previous employer So answer truthfully while at the same time NOT talking about the company or staff in a negative light More info on why you left a job would help to give applicable suggestions You TELL them why you left! Make it sound as positive as possible though Put the reason you are no longer at your last job in your question Unless you were laid off or the company had relocated you too far, just say "it's a career move" It's better not to go into the specifics Always keep in mind that your interviewer is looking for a positive, motivated, hard-working candidate No potential employer wants to hear your gripe about a prior boss or talk poorly about a previous employer She or he wants to hear about your potential as a superstar at the position you are seeking
Correct Answer: A seemingly simple question that is often difficult to answer, it can result in a great interview going disastrously wrong Here "What interests you about the position offered?" is a problematic question for anyone, even the most prepared interview candidate It is one of those questions that might decide between selected individuals who have the same qualifications and experience When asked "what about this job interests you", the interviewer wants to know why you decided to apply specifically for this job and why do you consider this position fitting you and your career plans The best bet is to take the most important element of the said job and talk about it For example if the job requires effective team work capabilities, you may construct your answer in this way: Question: What is the 'thing' that interests you about this job? Answer: One of the things that are of my best interests in this job is the opportunity to work in a team environment I always wanted to work with hard-working, professional, experienced people I love contributing the team effort, bringing out the best in myself and in my teammates for fulfilling our work goals and reaching top results I trust that I can perform great by applying sound principles of teamwork as I did in my previous jobs I seek timely and consistent feedback designed to improve not only my performance as well but the team?s performance as well I consult with people, try my best and treat everyone positively/equally Tips to follow while answering this question :: 1 Be Specific 2 Be Truthful 3 Be Real
