✔ Each and every one of these questions is answered in this Guide. Gives you tested, proven interview answers for every type of question.
This is how you get hired.
“You'll have a
professional, smooth, and convincing answer for any possible question;
even the ones most people worry about ... All of the answers are broken
down into simple terms — so you can learn quickly and easily — no matter what your abilities or experience level.”
SAMPLE ANSWERS:
Each interview question begins with a discussion then offers an easy-to-follow formula for coming up with your own winning answers — based on your own personal work experience. Then several word-for-word example answers are given for you to choose from to answer the question. There are over 80 interview questions covered in the Guide, with 177 convincing and professional sample answers that work for any type of job.✔ Give me an example of a problem you faced on the job, and tell me how you solved it.
STRATEGY: This is a problem solving question that tests your critical thinking skills. This is a great question for showing that you are a creative and capable problem solver. The problem you select to use as an example should be as similar as possible to a problem that you are likely to face at the job you are interviewing for.
• Here's the proven formula: (read this carefully)
"Sure, at my last job we had a problem where the situation was "X" ... the action I took was "Y" ... and the positive outcome was "Z" ... I was commended by Susan in Accounting for solving the problem and cutting costs about 15% for that project. I think that's the type of experience you are looking to bring to your team ... isn't it?"
• Learn how to cite specific numbers you contributed to achieving.The Guide shows you several ways of coming up with these numbers based on your own work experience — It's as easy as fill in the blanks, and so powerful in your interview! — Learn to create statements like this:
"I think my experience with [Company XYZ] in [cutting costs 30% / saving 20 man-hours of work per week / increasing revenue by 14% / getting the job done about 50% faster / helping customers 20% more of the time]
is the type of experience that will help me succeed in this role. Plus
my strengths in [industry knowledge / time management / teamwork /
special skill] make me a strong candidate." (Don't be bashful — You've gotta say stuff like this!)
... then get them to agree with you:
"You would agree that having this type of experience would probably help me succeed in this position ... wouldn't you?"
"Would that type of problem-solving experience be relevant to this job?"
Here's a more fully formed example answer to the above question:
"When facing problems on the job I try to take a systematic approach. I think it's important to clarify the problem first before you start coming up with possible solutions, or wasting other people's time. I also try to think about the best possible outcome, or what I want the result to be. FOR EXAMPLE, when I was at Job "X" ... (use one of your S.T.A.R. Statements here)
... and the result was a 15% increase in cost-savings for that project.
What kinds of challenges are you as a manager currently facing in your
department? ... What could the ideal candidate do to help solve this problem in their first couple months on the job?"
See how you followed up your answer with a great question about THEIR needs? ... Smart.
"... Go Into Your Next Job Interview With More Optimism, and Better Possibilities! ..."
✔ What did you like best and least about your previous job?
STRATEGY: This question reveals a lot about you. You want to indicate that what you liked best about your last job are things that will appeal to the Hiring Manager. Show that your last job allowed you to demonstrate many of the positive and desirable Behavioral Competencies that are discussed at the beginning of the Guide. Give specific examples of how your last job allowed you to flex your skills and show your maturity. When answering about what you liked least, keep it short and do not be negative.
"What I liked about my last job was the fact that
there was good on the job training. I was able to really develop my "X"
skills, which I know will help me succeed here if I am fortunate enough to be able to join your team. What are the qualities and skills of the people who have been most successful at this company?"
"One thing I liked about my last job was that it allowed me to develop my project management skills ... FOR EXAMPLE, I was put in charge of a project where I had to earn the "buy-in" of people from multiple different departments — and I had all the responsibility for getting this project completed on time but no real authority over my teammates. I was successful because
I first created a project vision statement that the team agreed on.
Then day-to-day I made sure that each team member completed their work
on time. I did this in most cases by appealing to my teammates' own
self-interests. FOR EXAMPLE ... "
"What I liked least about my last job was that the management style was pretty hands off, and this was fine for me because I am self-motivated and work hard
to achieve. But the lack of structure sometimes allowed some of my
teammates to slack off from time to time — and I often ended up having
to pick up the extra work. I had to constructively approach my manager
and let her know what was going on WITHOUT creating any friction
between me and my co-workers. In the end, it worked out well, because I
was pro-active. Have you ever run into that type of situation as a manager?"

in "A" and my three years experience in "B" really makes me a strong candidate.
I would like to follow up with you next week to see where you are in

Here's what people are saying:
"Hi Bob, I had my interview and I did great.
I am very confident that I will be offered the position. My only regret
is that I did not know about your book earlier. I downloaded and read
it just a couple hours prior to the interview. I was like a sponge. Your
book helped me to answer the questions from the panel more confidently. I will definitely recommend this book to others. They emailed me the next day, asked for my references, and told me I did an outstanding interview and that the panel was very impressed! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!" — Linda C., Regional Manager, Health Care
"Usually before job interviews I would get so nervous!
I would just study my resume before-hand and then nervously repeat what
was on my resume. Seriously, I would get so nervous that I would sweat
and I could feel my heart beating faster! Since I got your Guide, I've
learned to take my experience and spin it in a positive way for almost any kind of question. In my last interview I felt so much more confident and prepared. Thanks again!" — Geoff Presley, Finance Administrator

Not to mention, I had another interview on Monday for a position at a
different company, and just this morning again, I got another offer
call. I would highly recommend this Guide to anyone." — Ademola Makinde, Oil & Energy Professional, UK
