1. What is your greatest strength?

2. I have an extremely strong work ethic. When I'm working on a project, I don't
want just to meet deadlines. Rather, I prefer to complete the project well
ahead of schedule. Last year, I even earned a bonus for completing my three
most recent reports one week ahead of time.
3. I have extremely strong writing skills. Having worked as a copy editor for
five years, I have a strong attention to detail when it comes to my writing. I
have also written for a variety of publications, so I know how to shape my
writing style to fit the task and audience. As a marketing assistant, I will be
able to effectively write and edit press releases and update web content with
accuracy and ease.
4. I am a skilled salesman with over ten years of experience. I have exceeded
my sales goals every quarter and I've earned a bonus each year since I started
with my current employer.

2. What is your greatest weakness?

When I'm working on a project, I don't want just to meet deadlines. Rather, I
prefer to complete the project well ahead of schedule.

Being organized wasn't my strongest point, but I implemented a time


management system that helped my organization skills.

I like to make sure that my work is perfect, so I tend to perhaps spend a little
too much time checking it. However, I've come to a good balance by setting
up a system to ensure everything is done the first time correctly.

I used to wait until the last minute to set appointments for the coming week,
but I realized that scheduling in advance makes much more sense.

Sometimes, I spend more time than necessary on a task or take on tasks


personally that could easily be delegated to someone else. Although I've
never missed a deadline, it is still an effort for me to know when to move on
to the next task, and to be confident when assigning others work.

I had difficulty with calculus during college, but I persevered with tutoring
assistance and extra effort and completed two levels with a B-minus average.

I used to like to work on one project to its completion before starting on


another, but I've learned to work on many projects at the same time, and I
think it allows me to be more creative and effective in each one.
I've learned to make my perfectionism work to my advantage. I have become
proficient at meeting deadlines, and with my attention to detail, I know my
work is accurate.

As an undergrad, I used to leave assignments until the last minute, but with
the workload of graduate school, I learned to schedule my time very
effectively.

3. Tell me about yourself.

4. Why should we hire you?

1. think that my experience in the (widget) industry and my ability to work


autonomously make me a good match for this position.

2. I have the savvy, experience, and superior communication ability to be an


asset to your company.

3. Your company provides many services that I have had experience with, in a
variety of capacities. [Offer a few specific examples.] I believe that my
familiarity with the industry would make me a good fit for this position.

4. You have explained that you are looking for a sales executive who is able to
effectively manage over a dozen employees. In my 15 years of experience as
a sales manager, I have developed strong motivational and team-building
skills. I was twice awarded manager-of-the-year for my innovative strategies
for motivating employees to meet and surpass quarterly deadlines. If hired, I
will bring my leadership abilities and strategies for achieving profit gains to
this position.

1. I have top-notch administrative skills and I believe I'd be an asset for the
office. My skill set seems to be a perfect match for what you're looking for.
In addition, I enjoy working with people, and would welcome the opportunity
to be a part of your team.

2. You describe in the job listing that you are looking for a special education
assistant teacher with an abundance of patience and compassion. Having
served as a tutor at a summer school for dyslexic children for the past two
years, I have developed my ability to be extremely patient while still
achieving academic gains with my students. My experience teaching phonics
to children ages 6 to 18 has taught me strategies for working with children of
all ages and abilities, always with a smile. My previous employer often
placed me with the students with the most severe learning disabilities because
of my history of success. I will bring not only experience, but patience and
creative problem-solving, to this position.

5. What are your salary expectations?

I understand that positions similar to this one pay in the range of $X to $Z in


our region. With my experience, I would like to receive something in the
range of $Y to $Z.

I would like to be compensated fairly for my experience.


The research I've done indicates that positions like this one pay $X to $Z and
something in that range would be acceptable to me as a starting salary.
My salary requirements are flexible, but I do have significant experience in
the field that I believe adds value to my candidacy.

What were your responsibilities?

"I evaluate success in different ways. At work, it is meeting the goals set by
my supervisors and my fellow workers. It is my understanding, from talking
to other employees, that the GGR company is recognized for not only
rewarding success but giving employees opportunity to grow as well. After
work, I enjoy playing softball, so success on the field is catching the winning
pop-up."

"For me, success is about doing my job well. I want to be recognized as


someone who always does their best and tries their hardest to make my
goals."

"I evaluate success based on not only my work, but the work of my team. In
order for me to be considered successful, the team needs to achieve both our
individual and our team goals."

"I evaluate success based on outcomes. It's not always the path you take to
achieve success that matters. Rather, it's quantifiable results."
I tend to view success incrementally. As someone who is invigorated by
new, complex challenges, I never want to find myself in a situation where I
feel like there is nothing left to learn or achieve. If, over the course of my
employment, I can leave work each evening satisfied that Ive learned
something new or useful, then this counts as success to me.
