- - - - A lot of jobs require someone who can think on their feet or present ideas with crispness and clarity. This question provides employers with an early preview of your core skills, your personality and your ability to respond to an unstructured question.
- - - - overview interviewers want to understand what prompted you to apply for this job. They don’t want candidates who are indifferent to where they work. Instead, they want someone who offers very specific reasons for why they want this job.
- - - - The interviewer is assessing whether your weaknesses will get in the way of doing the job. Employers are looking for humility and whether you’re committed to learning and growing. This is a place you can showcase what you’re doing to improve.
- - - - it's very tempting to give a number. instead, you want to provide a range. you don't want to low ball, because that's going to obvious work against you. At the same token, if you go too high, you may freeze youself out of this opportunity. So the second tip come in and do some neutral research and with that research, you want to come in and share that range. Provide information such as this role, based on the research i've done, based on between 18 - 19 thousand. By putting that range on the table, it does a couple things: one, the employer then will have to base their comp at least on those numbers because you've established.what the competitive benchmarks are. Now, the next thing i want to advise you on is how do you actually get those ranges. where do you go? THere's multiple places to go on the internet. once that't very good is linkedln salary tool because with all the data that linkedin has, we can provide very good information on a whole array of roles. As a matter of fact, we have information of over 1000 roles. And last but not least, don't forget ro bring up signing bonuses. THat's often a way to bridge the gap at the end of a negotiation. So if you follow these three tips, you're going to be well on your ways to mastering the question what are your salary expectations
- - - - This question is all about sizing up your emotional intelligence. Interviewers are looking for problem solvers, not shouters. Strong answers showcase your listening skills and your ability to guide people to better choices.
- - - - For me, good leadership is about finding the best analytical approach while still caring about the people on the team. Last year, I took charge of a digital marketing campaign that wasn't getting any traction. I realized our team members didn't know what was expected. We worked together to build new metrics. I gave more responsibilities to our most engaged team member and helped another one find a different job where he could be more effective. Within three months, we were hitting our numbers and morale was vastly better. When we were ready to expand, five internal candidates asked if they could join our team. I love building productive, successful teams, and it sounds as if there would be great opportunities to do that in the job we're talking about.
        
        That was a great answer. There's a lot I liked about it. So first, what I really liked is how you talked about what your overall philosophy was, how you were an effective leader, and then you brought us into a live example. You shared an example of something that was a challenge, what you did, the results that you captured from it, and you talked about how you brought the team along. So this wasn't just about you. This was about how you brought people with you on this journey, and you just wrapped it up really cleanly, too, with how it connected back to the organization. So great job.
- - - - Employers want to understand your capacity to step up and handle tough situations that undoubtedly arise in the workplace. They want to know when you’ve seen an opening to lean in and lead with good judgment.
- - - - Employers want to get a sense of what ‘challenging’ means to you. They also want to know how you handled the situation in a calm way. They’re looking for a storyline to prove that you can turn a bad story into a good story.
- - - - This question assesses how you define a professional success. If the story resonates, the employer will want you to do similar things at his or her company. You should focus on the impact and outcomes.
- - - - well, a lot of my spare time lately has been dedicated to teaching myself how to shoot and edit instructional videos. i've been a farage sale shopper for several years and i sell my finds on ebay to pay down my student loan debt. So far i've raised $11.000. People who find out that i do this, often have a lot of questions about how to get started, how to find best stuff, how to market items on ebay. So i've decided to put a few tutorials up on youtube. That way people can learn through the videos and i gain a new creative skill.
        
        I'm getting the picture that you're resourceful, financially responsible, willing to share your talents with others, and focused on self-inprovement.
- - - - Employers want to see how you handle competing priorities, understand the implications of missing deadlines, and can stay cool under pressure.
- - - - I really feel if you take this in three steps, that you'll do really well in answering this question. step one, why do i qualify for this job? Be prepared to pick three to four qualifications, parts of your experiences that hels these interviewers or this interviewer understand why you're a fit for this job.
        Step two, start to paint a picture on why you would do so well in this job. Things that you would accomplish. that competitively differentiate you.
        Number three, in addition to why you qualify for this job, being a part of a team is also really important things as well. So why are you a cultural fit for this company? wwhat do you know about their mission and their vision, and how do they operate and why you would fit so well into that? Lastly, and i think is a very underrated one, i believe that how you say something is just as important as what you say. so when you're sharing your successes and you're answering these questions, make sure that you're doing it in an authentic way that allows the interviewers to connect to you.
        Member, you;re going to be part of a team, thay want to make sure that you fit in. so, as long as you're yourself, but the best version of that self. I think you'll do really well.
        
        This question tests how persuasive you are. Interviewers want to see if you can make a calm, confident case for yourself, even if they’re acting skeptical. They’re looking for factual and compelling answers.
        
        Start with the three or four best reasons you’ve got.
        
        Cite results, credentials, and other people’s praise so you don’t seem self-absorbed.
        
        Be concise, and invite follow-up questions at the end.
- - - - Employers want to see if you can strike the right balance between confidence and humility. Hiring managers also want to get a sense for how self-aware and honest you are and align your strengths to the role at hand.
        
        Be authentic - don’t make up strengths that you think the employer wants to hear.
        
        Tell a story about a work experience.
        
        Be sure the strengths you share are aligned to the role you want.
- - - - I was asked to work on a high profile project that included collaborating with a new team and tons of people across a larger organization . we were spread out across the globe which meant timezones were tricky and we could never meet face-to-face. Communication was starting to get confusing and people were losing important details/ It became apparent that this project was going to fail. So, i met with various team members and engaged them in a process to design a communication system that would work a lot better. We used an asynchronous project management tool called ASANA to help streamline who enjoyed web and when it was getting done. And we could all update it in real time. We then did weekly check-in and designed a protocol to share relevant updates so that we didn't get bogged down with details that took us off track. I also developed a detailed outline of mini goals and milestones and the meeting were led by us. checking again said document. In the end, the team made massive progress. We completed the project on time and it was praised extensively by the client. The team thanked me for helping to course correct. We also continue to use these tools and they are what make our team so much more efficient at what we do.
        
        decribe the situation
        
        decribe the steps you took
        
        describe the result.
        
        and so to start your story, just like in any good movie. you want to describe the situation, the initial events that occured. what were the problems that you were experiencing? this is a really key part of the story. And then from there you want to get into the actions steps. So talk about the key milestones that you went through. Don't go into too much detail. it should only be about to three sentences, but try to use active verbs, things like i implemented or i persuaded, things like that. and then from there, you want to get into the results. Try to include a clincher at the end talking about dollars saved or improved profitability. That will help to really solidify you results and that you did a great thing. so if you want to remember how to answer this past experience type of interview question, you just have to remember the framework S-A-R, and that stands for Situation, action, and result. And if you use this framework, you'll able to answer any type of past experience interview question

        i think my coworkers would tell you that i'm the one you turn to when it's time to make sure everyone stays motivated, and on track to pull off big, high profile projects. In fact, in one of my likedin recommendations, my supervisor refres to me as the human glue, which is something i'm pretty proud of. She gave me that recommendation after we went through an incredible complex ERP implementation. It was one of those stressful time critical projects that required the team to come together and make things happen in s short amount of time. I not only kept the crew going sometimes through long evening and weekend hours, but inspired to bring their absolute best to the project everyday. i think that they also appreciated the pizza and donuts i brought in too.
        
        This is a solid answer, especially if your're interviewing for ra job with strong focus on project coordination and teamwork. You shared something specifically related to the job, and you also pointed the interviewer to a supervisor's favorable linkedn recommendation. Finally, i like that you shared a bit of humor. It is not only okay to show the human site when you're interviewing, it's a smart strategy
- - - - Break the answer down in two to three year chunks.
        Focus on what you can give, rather than what you can get.
        Don’t bring up a specific job title that you want to move into one day.
        Make it specific to this particular company and position.
- - - - How might someone reply to that question? Let's look at an example, and I'll be right back with a few thoughts. - I do have a few questions, thanks for asking. We talked a bit about your plans to invest in training opportunities for your current employees, especially those who will be managing the company's transition to a centralized billing system. I think that this is a great plan, and I'd love to support the curriculum development. Now, will most of the training modules be designed by this team? And will they be delivered in person, via webinar, or a video format? Or will you be using a hybrid approach? - This is a great example of that first type of response that we discussed. It's the type of reply that shows to the conversation, and that you want to delve a bit further into a topic that you've just discussed. You're also using words and body language to convey a lot of enthusiasm about supporting what sounds like a priority project for that organization. Well done.
