How do you answer 'Why do you want to work here' in a job interview?

You have to ask yourself that prior to the interview. Investigate the company, remember what you like about the company (it's
products/services, positive things it has done for the community/society, where the company is headed in the future, if it's an
established company (for job security), how you think you can help the company succeed, etc.) it really depends on what type of job
you are applying for (professional compared to part-time high school/college job.

Just make sure to investigate the company, if you're in the US you can see if it's a member of the Better Business Bureau
(www.bbb.org) if it's a company you've never heard. And let them know you're interested in them because of the positive things they
have done and give examples, or of a problem they may be having and how you are the solution to that problem.

Here is more advice:

• I think the most important thing is to be honest and genuine. For example, Why you want to work at the Disney Store? Why
are you applying there instead of somewhere else? Is it because you think the environment will be fun and energetic? Do you
think it will suit your personality and that you might fit in there? The interviewer wants to find out if you're the sort of person
who will succeed at the company. That's what you want, too. You don't want a job you'll fail at. So, like I said, I think it's
important to be open and honest. Be yourself. Show your genuine enthusiasm for the position.

• You need to research the company you are wanting to work for and read their job description. When you are asked the
question, then you can tell them how your background qualifications are transferable, and to work for XXXX will be a
challenge and rewarding.

• Here's an example: "Based on the research I?ve done, the company is an industry leader. When I visited you web site, I found
some impressive information about the future projects you have planned. I was also impressed with the founders'
backgrounds and the current financial statements. This is the company I've been looking for, I want to be where things are
developing, changing, and growing. And I want to make a meaningful contribution to that development and growth."

• The best way to answer this question is to RESEARCH the company first. Yep, whether you are applying at McDonald's or
applying at a Fortune 500 Company. Do a search online. Look at their website. Find out who they are, what they do and why
you'd want to work there. The WORST thing you can do is showing up at an interview knowing nothing about the company!
Once you know about the company you can answer this question more easily (for example: "I've read about how this
company's growth is on the rise and also how involved it is in the local community.") Do NOT make the answer all about
you. The employer does not care if you want to advance your career, make more money or get better benefits. In this portion
of the interview and with asking this question, they want to know what YOU are going to do for THEM.

• Because, after EXTENSIVE (<-emphasize that) research, I have found that this company is best suited to my personal needs
and therefore will allow me to make a greater contribution to your company than any other. Plus there's an endless supply of
hot (you pick) 1. babes 2. dudes that work here. This has been another successful installment of Wha Bam's self help service.

• Usually asked to find out how much do you know about the organization?s product and mainly culture. Do your research
online prior to the interview. Most private and publicly held companies have investor relations or ?about? pages. So do your
research and connect to the company?s mission statement and the company?s core values.

• "I think this company would fully enhance my career growth as well as my professional growth."

Answer

Honestly.

If you need a job, then say you need a job and intend to work hard at the job and to become more valueable to the company.

If it's a career improvement, say so.

How do you answer 'How did you handle your most challenging experience in your previous job' in a job interview?
Answer

Think of a stressfull thing that happened at your last job. Then write a short description of what it was and what you did. Did you work
to resolve the problem? Did you remove yourself from the problem and let other handle it? Stuff like that. Just a short explaination of
what happened.

Answer

This is more related to problem solving., first, think of a problem you had in you work and what is the action/ solution you have taken
to resolve. It is always better to explain the point in logical order with a good example.

Answer

When answering a question like this, you should always try and remember two things:

• use an example
• use the word 'teamwork'

Employers want to know how you handle stress, how you worked through that problem, and if you're a team player.

Answer

I was young and naive, and I quit. I was being treated with such disrespect and was being sexually harassed. I didn't know I had
grounds to sue and that if they continued to treat me that way they'd be liable. I couldn't take it, so I left after my shift one day and
never went back.

I completely regret handling it that way because I was there 3 years and built up a lot of skills and experience. Had I known then what
I know now I'd have come right out to the manager that the person he needed to speak to was not me and that things needed to change.
I now know better.

How do you answer 'How would you relate your key competencies to this position' in a job interview?

Relating Key Competencies

They're asking how your experience relates to the job for which you are applying. A good place to start? Make a list of the
requirements for the job. Circle any that apply to you. What skills do you have that apply to the position? What experience do you
have that will help the company if they hire you? Give at least one example. That's how YOU relate to the job.

Here are suggestions for answering the interview question:

• As an individual, I have confidence in my leadership and interpersonal skill. My ability to produce innovative and concepts
of management, work as a team player, and meet deadlines, together with my attention to detail, have contributed to my
successes in management planning. I have performed direct work with my oversea team to run projects and problem solving.
I am an effective organizer and planner. My outgoing and friendly nature allows me to interact well with other staff members
at all levels and I am able to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical persons.
 • I am diligent, very expeditious. I have good listening, communication and organizational skills, I can be work as a good team
player. My professional qualification and experiance is 100% right according to the position and I am positive that I will give
it up develop.

• Realize that you're probably talking to a knob in HR. "Key competencies" is truly a taste of the worst in Human Resource
drivel. Just tell them why you think your skills match the requirements. That's all. Is it a stupid way to ask it? Yes it is.
Welcome to the world of interviewing!

Answer

What they are asking for are skills that are applicable to the position of customer service. Like are you a people person. Do you work
well under a lot of stress, can you deal with angry customers etc. Do you have customer service experience??? If so list the things
you've done in previous positions. Did you work on a register. "Competencies" is asking what skills are you competent in. You know
which skills are you very good at. If you need more clarification just ask!!

How do you answer 'What is good customer service' in a job interview?

Answer

It begins with the first contact a customer has with your company. Good customer service looks like this: Make sure you represent a
product or service you believe in! Then...Warm, sincere greeting on first contact. Establish whether your business has what the
customer needs (offer to help find it)-provide it or suggest better alternative, to their benefit. Develop an easy, positive rapport with the
customer which lets them know they are respected and appreciated. Go above and beyond. Then, provide an easy, efficient way to
complete the transaction. Sincerely and warmly thank the customer for their business and invite them to come back if ever they need
your help again (in whatever way is appropriate in your case). Actually, that's excellent customer service- and it keeps people coming
back to you.

Answer

There's no right or wrong answer. They want to know what you think good customer service is.

For me, it's not about quick service, but helpful service. If I'm at the grocery and ask a worker where a certain item is, most of the time
they just tell you what aisle it's on. Those are the ones that are just doing their job.

The ones with good customer service are the ones that tell you, and guide you to the exact location. "It's in Aisle 4. Let me take you to
it." Or, "John! This young lady is looking for a blah-blah, I don't know where it is. Can you show the miss where it's at? Thanks."

If all you needed to know was the aisle number, you can just reply with, "Oh, that's not necessary, thank you very much!"

That's good customer service!

Answer

When a customer has received exceptional standards of service from a provider and leaves a shop/wherever feeling very satisfied.

Answer

good customer service is when you have shown and treated the person/persons quiry's problem's,as an individual requirement that
matters to you personally and how you would want the matter treated and are left with a warm satisfying feeling inside reflected back
to themself's.

Answer

It sort of depends on the actual job. But the basic answer would be something like "Being friendly and curtious. And to do what it
takes to make the customer satisfied."

Answer

Great customer service is when an employee takes the time to listen to your concerns by genuinely expressing interest, sympathy, and
their eagerness to satisfy you. Someone who is sincerely caring, compassionate, understanding, fair, and helpful is better than someone
who knows their job so well that they brush you off as ignorant.

Answer

An additional aspect that is essential to good customer service is the ability of the seller to, within reason, take extra measures to

Answer

Customer Service means exceeding their expectations. Every one expects a certain amount of service, some more than others. But
when you EXCEED that, then you have added the "WOW" factor. It would be great if your customers said "WOW, I didn't expect
that" or "that was beyond what I expected". Then they are more likely to CHOOSE you as their "provider of choice".

How do you answer 'Describe your standard of success' in a job interview?

Answer

Here are some suggestions for how people can define their standard of success:

• Success is different for each individual person. Too often we look at one another to measure how successful we are in our
own lives. You may look at a certain person and think wow they really got it together. What you may not know is that person
probably isn't in his/her mind satisfied their own selves (successfully) speaking. Ask yourself what your standard of success
is, but remember you are your own worst critic so go easy. Life is a journey not a destination!

• Use a metaphor to describe your personal success. For example, "I have four pillars of success. They are hardwork,
pursuance, determination and reliability."

• Success is the fruit of: 1. Good directing as a leader, providing people with specific instructions and closely suppervising task
accomplishment; 2. Coaching by explaining decisions, solicits suggestions and support progress; 3. Supporting by facilitating
and supposting subordinates efforts toward task accomplishment and shares responsibility for decision - making with them; 4.
Delegating by turning over responsibility for decision - making and problem - solving to subordinates.

• They want to know how much of a perfectionist you are. They want to know if you are a go-getter. They want to know if you
will settle for less than they will.

• A) Start by determining what succes means for you: lots of money? reaching targets? execution of a project? change in
people behaviour? so it depends on the sort of job you are in. B) It is also useful to look at what your own work values are.
These should be in line with your own personal life values. The combination of A + B= may give you the answer. The
interviewer will verify in how far these are in line with the organization's values. Again all depends on the type of activity.
One golden tip: always remain yourself - do not pretend to adhere to values that are not yours. Goods luck!
Answer

Well success means what you are adding in your self every day, for me what I have decided in the morning and what I have achieved
end of the day.

Is end of the day I find more polish myself, if the answer is yes than I am successful person in my life.

Answer

For me, success means what you are adding in your self everyday, if you are experiencing growth and change (better one) in the field

in giving quality service to people. And also considering what you have achieved at the end of the day.

How do you answer 'Define teamwork' in a job interview?

Defining Teamwork in an Interview

Here are examples FAQ Farmers have given for how to answer that question:

• Teamwork is when you communicate about your decisions and listen to your team members and act on their advice some of
the time.

• Teamwork is all about communication. When a problem arises, either individually or within the group, it's great to have
people to discuss solutions with. Being approachable is also key to being a part of a team as this will allow the doors of
communication to open.

• Teamwork can be best defined using these words: Communication, Helpful, Attainable Goals, Approachable, Creative and
Effective problem solving skills.

• To work with others, share ideas, and to help each other in need.

• Teamwork is being someone who is always willing to ask for help and at the same time always willing to assist others. My
willingness to learn enables me to accept advice from people in the correct frame of mind and I have the flexibility to adapt
to any role within a team environment. My friendly, outgoing personality makes teamwork preferable and even during
periods of high activity I have confidence in my ability to work effectively as a member of a team.

• Teamwork - Leaving behind me for the greater benefit of we.

• I will define teamwork as when the group's interest is put above individual member's interests.

• Teamwork is attaining a goal collectively and collaboratively without infighting.

• There is no "i" in teamwork!

have held certain positions in different companies that have developed my ... skills in order to work ... .I consider that I do fit the job

How do you explain to an interviewer how you would handle an irate customer over the phone?

Handling Irate Customers

Suggestions:

1. Get a clear understanding of the problem as quickly as you can. To diffuse the anger try - feel, felt, found

I know you how you feel, this would be very frustrating....blah, blah, blah

I felt the same way (would feel the same way).

I've found that if....blah, blah, blah

2. Or simply ask, what can I do to solve this problem for you?

It is vital to mention, however, since this is a job interview, that you would follow all specified company guidelines for resolving the
customers dispute - it is always important to respect the customer it is just as important to protect the interests of your employer.

Here is more input:

• I would show concern for the customer and allow them to vent but not take total control of the conversation. And ask what
can I do to help the situation. In a calm manner and a pleasant voice to diffuse the situation.

• Basically I feel that we should try and regain control of the situation rather than have the customer shout abuses and rave and
rant about a situation that might take only a minute's work, if discussed on the right frequency. Wait for sometime, let the
customer take a breath, cut in, take control (but slowly and delicately, dont bully him) and drive him on your route.

How do you answer 'Describe your work ethic' in a job interview?

Describing Work Ethics in an Interview

Here are answers and suggestions from FAQ Farmers:

• My experience with the phrase is that it describes one's level of commitment to a task/employer/course of study. Ability to go
the extra mile, stay the course, persistence to achieve quality, finding resources when stuck, own the problems that arise, etc.
Punctuality and showing up fall in there, too.

• I try to learn the mission statement and vision of the organization that I am working for before I commit my time, my passion,
and my energy to it. If I believe in the mission/vision statements and I am reasonably sure that the supervisors abide by most
of it, I will give my time, my extra hours, and my positive attitude to the agency. I need to be able to transmit that mission
even on the worst days and to remember that you must balance your love for work with your love for health and take time to
reflect, relax, and play.

How do you answer 'What about this job attracts you' in a job interview?

Answer

Start out by jotting down the needs and requirements that the employer has specified. For example, if a job requirement was 'requires
resolving customer problems, and answering the phone" you could say, "Since I am a people person and love to help others, I am
attracted to the level in which I will be interacting and helping others". You get the idea. Focus on something that the employer wants
and turn it into a positive statement that reflects what attracts you.

How do you answer 'What are your goals' in a job interview?

Your Goals

This is an important question: what are your goals? This is something you must answer for yourself before you begin interviewing.

Introspection is essential when looking for a job. You need to think carefully about yourself and your life. What do you really want?
How are you going to achieve it?

Don't try to restrict yourself to career goals. First think more broadly. Decide what is most important to you. Family? Wealth? The
satisfaction that comes from contributing to your society or from work well done?

Write this out. This will enable you to keep your thoughts straight and remember them.

Once you've worked this out to your satisfaction, then think about how you will answer it in an interview. You should answer an
interviewer honestly but a little "spin" is OK.

See the related question to the right about career-specific goals.

Answer

Be honest.
Answer

Think in terms of short term goals and long term goals. What do you want to accomplish in the short term of 3 to 5 years? What do
you want to achieve in that short time span? Same information applies for your long term career goals. Why did you chose the
profession you chose - interest, pay, benefits -- what do you see yourself doing in the long term goal of 10 to 20 years. Brainstorm
your ideas and write them down. Set realistic goals and not far fetched. Not everyone can be a president or CEO of a company. Set
high enough standards you think you can achieve. Any goal worth achieving is the sacrifices you made to get there.

Answer

You need goals, first of all. Make a list. That's a good place to start. Start small. You don't need to plan to change the world but maybe
you've always hoped to read the classics or volunteer. Maybe you want to have a family or return to school.

How do you answer 'Describe your ideal job' in a job interview?

Describing your ideal job

You want your answer to be something in line with the job you're interviewing for. For example, if you're applying for a job as an
office assistant you wouldn't say that your ideal job is in medicine. You'd say you aim to move up to become an office manager or
executive or something along those lines.

This should be the honest answer.

Before any interview you should take time to do serious introspection. Think about what you want to do and why. Most people's career
goals change over the course of their lives but it is very important to have goals. Have a sense of who you are and what you want to
do. Then apply for a job that is a step in that direction.

Question:

• "Describe your ideal job."

• Why it?s wrong:
• You need ask?

• ?I would like a position that allowed me to telecommute entirely from home so I would never even have to get dressed.?
• Why it?s wrong:
• You look lazy and foolish.

• ?I would like to work for a company who really appreciated me and acknowledged what superior talents I have.?
• Why it?s wrong:
• Cross the fine line from confident to egotistical and you cross your name off the callback crew.

Right answers:

• ?I don?t know if there is such a thing an ?ideal job? because different people add unique talents to each position. So anyone
who tries hard enough and works long enough can make a position into a meaningful creative outlet.?
• Why it?s right:
• This honest approach works well because you seem positive and enthusiastic.

• ?I chose to pursue a career in the nonprofit sector because I wanted to make a difference in society. So any position that
allows me to help even one person will make me feel like I have made a positive impact and fulfill my professional needs.?
• Why it?s right:
• Interviewers like answers that do not revolve around the almighty dollar but instead focus on meaning and personal
fulfillment form job duties.
 • ?The perfect job would allow me to put my creative and innovative talents to work in a larger capacity. I want to be able to
share my individual perspectives with everyone who views our billboards.?
• Why it?s right:

designs as well.

Answer

What's imperative here is that you offer something the other candidates probably can't. No time for modesty on this one. For instance,
if you're applying for a copy editor position, you can assume most everyone else applying has some kind of editing experience, a
degree in English and a desire to be a good copy editor with a successful company. But if the position requires copy editing for, say, a
scuba diving magazine and you happen to be an advanced diver, you can merge your understanding of the subject matter with the job
requirements. Or, for example, you know the magazine company wants to extend its reach into multimedia and you happen to be an
internet wizard, you can point out that you've got the skills to head the company in the right direction.

Generally speaking, this is your chance to point to your unique blend of experience as well as highlight your past acheivements. What
the interviewer is asking is, "What can you bring to us that no one else can?" You need to be able to point out something specific and
sound confident when you do. And the more research you do on the prospective employer, the smarter you'll sound.
