Q6 What's your greatest achievement?
My greatest achievement has to be in my previous role when I worked as part of a team that managed to increase company sales by 25 in a year.
We achieved this by successfully launching new company products online and by upselling to previous customers.
The shift to marketing our products online made a massive difference to our sales figures, and I was very proud to be a part of the team that had so much success in that particular year.

任務(wù):It was my responsibility to put together 3 years' worth of historical company sales figures based on product type, serial number and the total sales generated. I literally had three hours to complete the task, so I set to work immediately.

Q9 What did you like and dislike about your last job? (回答策略:先揚后抑,避重就輕,借力打力)
There were many things I liked such as the team I was a part of and how we all pulled together to get things done during tasks and projects.
I enjoyed the supportive working environment and the fact my manager was prepared to send people on training and development courses to ensure we all had the right skills and qualities needed to do our jobs properly.
I also like the fact my manager wasn't afraid to say when she thought we could have done something better. This always ensured we all progressed both as individuals and as part of a team.
The only thing that slightly frustrated me about my last job is I did not feel we were ambitious enough in moving forward as a company.
We were successful, but I felt we could have achieved many more things, especially if we had embraced digital technology and the advertising opportunities that come with it.

I explained that I'd spoken to the customer at length and because they had been a loyal, high spending customer of ours over many years we were in danger of losing their custom moving forward if we did not agree to their demands. There was also the potential of them leaving a negative review online which could cost the company in lost sales revenue moving forward.
又一個歡天喜地大結(jié)局唄:By remaining calm and by explaining my thought process with clarity and purpose, I was able to persuade my manager to agree to my proposal.

I enjoy providing great service to customers and I will always positively represent your company brand. I am someone who adapts well to change, and I view it as an important aspect of both my own personal progression and company growth.
My weakness is the fact I am not yet confident at speaking in front of large groups of people or giving presentations. However, this is certainly one area I want to improve in, and I've been reading a great book that has been helping me to start building confidence in this area.
I am the type of person who is always open to constructive feedback, so if you want me to develop in a particular area, just let me know and I will take the steps needed to develop.
Q14 Tell me about a time when you did something at work that had a positive impact on your team or the organization.
One Friday afternoon I had completed my work for the day, so I decided to do a task that I had wanted to do for some time.
The company had used the same office resources supplier for many years, and I felt we were spending way too much money with them. We had never negotiated a better deal and I felt there were considerable savings to be had.
I assessed how much we spent each month before drawing up a list of all the products we ordered regularly from our supplier. I then contacted several new office suppliers by telephone to get quotes, and two of them came back with very competitive prices that could potentially save the company $300 each month.
Over the year this would be a saving of three thousand six hundred dollars. I presented my findings to my manager who then used this information to go back to our current supplier to negotiate a better deal.
Q15?Why should we hire you?

I am a fast learner, which means you won't have to spend your valuable time and effort training me up and supervising me for weeks on end.
You should hire me because I am commercially aware. This means I understand that for your business to be successful, I must come into the role, do everything to a high standard and always represent your business positively and loyally.
Q16 Talk about a time when you had to work closely with someone whose personality was different from yours.
場景創(chuàng)設(shè):In my previous role a new member of our team joined the organization and I volunteered to help them settle into the role and to teach them how to carry out their duties to the correct standard. She was very nervous and shy, and when I spoke to her, it was clear that English was not her first language.
任務(wù):It was my responsibility to welcome her to the team, to help make her feel valued, and to ascertain her level of skill so i could put a plan of action in place to train her.
采取的行動:Because of her shy personality, I wanted to encourage her to have more confidence in her abilities. It was clear she was going to be good at her job, but I just needed to help her get over the initial anxiety of joining a new team that she was unfamiliar with.
By introducing her to all team members, and by being patient with her whilst going through company procedures and training, her confidence levels started to improve dramatically.
永遠的歡天喜地大結(jié)局:Within two weeks of joining, she was a fully trained up and confident member of the team who everyone valued.
Q17 Describe a time when the team you were a part of was undergoing some change. How did the change impact you, and how do you adapt?
In my previous job, a new manager came into the team and she wanted to make big changes to the way that we operated. This was a big thing for the team because the previous manager had not changed anything for many years.
I was quite excited about the change because I felt there were some things we could improve on. The change impacted me because I had to learn new skills and duties. Some members of the team were negative about the change, but I encouraged them to view it more positively and to see it as an opportunity for personal growth.
I adapted by being supportive of the change, by viewing it positively and by doing all I could to learn the new duties quickly and diligently. Change is a good thing and if you embrace it positive things can happen.
Q18 What motivates you?
I am motivated by several things. I am currently saving up for a deposit to buy my first house, so I am motivated by that.
I know the only way I will achieve that goal is if I work hard, I do a good job for my employer and I achieve long-term stable employment.
I am also motivated at work by continuous improvement. We spend a lot of time at work, and I want to feel my time spent there is being put to good use.
If I am working in a positive environment alongside other like-minded people who are all trying to do a good job, improve and develop then I feel highly motivated and happy.
Q19 Tell me about a time when you had to collaborate with a co-worker who was difficult to work with?

任務(wù):For the sake of the project, it was important that we all got on together, so I focused on trying to build a good relationship with him.
行動: During team meetings, I encouraged him to use his strengths to the team's advantage. He was very good technically and he was very enthusiastic, so I suggested he should get more involved in the practical side of the project delivery.
? He agreed to this and his enthusiasm for getting the project delivered on time rubbed off on the rest of the team.

任務(wù):Despite not knowing anything about their area of expertise, I quickly put my hand up because I saw this as an opportunity to learn something new.
行動:When I arrived at the new department the supervisor briefed me on my duties for the day. I was required to deal with customers on the telephone and respond to their queries using a pre-determined systematic approach that was written down on laminated cards.
I spent the first 10 minutes familiarizing myself with the task and the cards before setting to work answering the calls.
歡喜結(jié)局: During the day, I managed to successfully handle over 70 calls and it was a great experience for me to find out how a different side of the company operated.
Q21 Describe a time you had to give a person difficult feedback.
場景:Whilst working in a previous role, I noticed a work colleague was making numerous foolish mistakes with their work. They appeared unfazed by their mistakes, and I was concerned they would start to have a negative impact on the team if left unchecked.
任務(wù):As their co-worker, I felt I had a responsibility to say something I needed to use tact and diplomacy to encourage them to improve.
行動: I spoke to my work colleague in private and I asked them if they were okay to which they said they were. I then mentioned the mistakes they were making, and I asked them why they felt they were making so many. Initially, they were quite defensive, but I persevered diplomatically.
I said that I was concerned that if they continued to make the mistakes it would not only affect the team, but they could end up in trouble with our manager. I encouraged them to change and i offered to help them if they were struggling with their work.
結(jié)果:By having the confidence to have that difficult conversation with my co-worker, it made a huge difference to their work. from that day onwards, they never made the same mistake again and I am glad that I intervened.
