~ Bob
In 2016, most modern employers are
using carefully-worded behavioral
interview questions designed to
expose your biggest weakness...
They'll ask you about lengthy projects you've been involved in — how
your role evolved, how you handled deadlines, how you handled pr:
and difficult personalities. You're going to need ultra-specific examples.
They're going to be asking you for details; including names of people,
dates, and measurable outcomes. They'll ask you how certain events made
you feel, They're going to be testing you in lots of different ways — Are you
ready for their tough questions?

experience.
Each example interview question in the Guide begins with a discussion
of the question, the reasons why they are asking it, and what they probably
want to hear in your response.
FOR EVERY QUESTION you may face, this download gives you
several word-for-word example answers to choose from — and customize to
make your own. You'll have the templates & the strategic formula for
coming up with your own convincing answers — based on your own
personality and your own personal work experience.
Over 80 behavioral interview questions are covered in the Guide w/ 177 example interview answers that work
for traditional, competency-based, situational, KSA, and behavioral interviews
Interview Question
Give me an example of a problem you faced on the job, and tell
me how you solved it.
STRATEGY: ‘The problem you select to use as an example should be as similar as possible to a problem you are
likely to face at your new job. 1) Identify their ‘pain points’ or current challenges you think they might be facing, 2)
explain the POSITIVE OUTCOME and MEASURABLE RESULT!
at your last ob, then 3) get them to agree with you that your experience in that area is exactly what they're looking
you achieved by solving a similar problem
for.
Here's the basic answer formula:
“Sure, at my last job we had a problem where the situation was "x" ... the
“y" .., and the positive outcome was "2" ... In an email to
action I took was
the entire team I was praised by Susan, the Project Manager, for solving the
problem and cutting costs about 15% for that project. We were also able to
deliver in about % the time it would have taken us otherwise. What I learned
I think that's the type of experience you are
looking to bring to your team, isn't it?”
from the situation was "ABC
© Learn how to cite personal success-metries (numbers, percentages, fractions) that you
contributed to achieving at the past few jobs on your résumé or CV.

your own past work experience & achievements. Youll discover ifs as easy as fillin-the-blanks to create your proof
and its SO elective in getting your interviewers to buy in to your potential & your value as an employee. You
have powerful statements like this that you can deliver with confidence:
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 5@% faster / decreasing turn-around time by % / helping customers 20%
more of the time is the type of experience that will help me succeed in this
role ..."
sss Plus my strengths in [industry knowledge / time management / goal-
setting / teamwork / enpowering others / persuasive presentations /
partnering & negotiating / innovation & creativity / strategic leadership /
special skill ] really make me a strong candidate." (Don't be bashful -
You've gotta say stuff Like this!)
«then get them to agree with you:
“You'd agree that having this type of experience would probably help me
succeed in this position .. wouldn't your" @ (say it with a smite)
“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 I try to take a systematic approach. I think it's
important to clarify the problem first and get as much information as I can
by collaborating with important stakeholders - BEFORE I start proposing
possible solutions. I also try to think about what the best possible outcome
might look like. FOR EXAMPLE, when I was at Company XYZ .. (use one of your
S.0.A.R.L. Stories here) .. and the result was about a 15% increase in cost-
savings for that project. what types of challenges are you currently facing
in your department? .. what might I do to help you solve those problems in my
first couple months on the job here?"

Interview Question
| What did you like best and least about your previous job?
STRATEGY: This is potentially a wick question, 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 lat job allowed you to demonstrate many of the
positive and desirable Behavioral Competencies that are discussed in-depth at the beginning of the Guide. Give
specific examples of how your last jab 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 was I was able to really develop my "XYZ" 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 of the people who have been most
successful in your department?”

{for clues about what they mont t0 hear!)
“One thing I liked about my last job was it allowed me to develop my project
management skills ... FOR EXAMPLE, I was put in charge of a project where T
had to earn the "buy-in" of people from several different departments — and I
had all the responsibility for getting the project completed but no real
authority over my teanmates. I was successful because I involved key
stakeholders from the beginning. My team knew that other people were on
board, so I was able to negotiate them to an agreement on deadlines. Then
day-to-day I made sure everyone was completing their work on time by setting
up a progress tracking system .. Can I tell you about it?
Interview Question
What's the worst mistake you ever made on the job, and what
did you learn from it?
STRATEGY: ‘Think about what they want to hear, Show that you are able to learn from your mistakes, but don't
offer up any negative examples concerning your past performance. Show that you have been successful, but that
you have the maturity it takes to examine your own behavior so you can learn and grow and be a better employee,
Be brief,
ipssljeb-interview-answers.comd ams.ans0:7
+ Jo Itorvicw Questions & Answers Guide
"Good question. Well, I have been successful at every job I've had, but I
have had the normal ups and downs. I'd say that I do actively try to monitor
the quality of my work so 1 can constantly be improving myself. FOR EXAMPLE,
I have had one or two hiccups with clients (or customers) where their
satisfaction was not exactly where I thought it was. I learned that I have to
really monitor certain difficult clients closely and "take their temperature”
so I can keep their satisfaction level as high as possible. Have YOU had any
customers like that here?”
“.. Bob's materials not only offer
a ton of specifics on how to get
hired, but also motivate the
reader to prepare with
confidence! ...”
Interview Question
Describe a situation when working with a team produced more
successful results than if you had completed the project on your
own.
svaarecy: This is another Behavioral Interview syle of question, ‘The Hiring Manager wants to learn more
about your thought process, and how well you can form examples to answer this teamwork-elated question, You
will want to show your ability to solicit ideas from others listen carefully, and persuade people to your point of
Well, throughout my career I’ve worked both independently and as a member of
many teams. I have to say, though, that collaborating with other people
across departments is always a good idea — specifically when it comes to
brainstorming and knowledge sharing. when it's appropriate, I try to get
outside perspectives on possible solutions. I did that a lot at Job ‘ABC’.
FOR EXAMPLE ... and the OUTCOME was a roughly 30% increase in cost-savings for
the company, and a significant decrease in the time it took to complete the
project."
