strengths.

Difference between Smart Worker & Hard Worker
"A smart worker always put things right but a hard worker always do right things."
If you are interviewed for a managerial position or for an admission in a MBA College,
You should mention traits that are important for managers like :
“Well, I believe I am good at planning and execution, and working with people. I’ve
always been good at detailing all the steps too. Even in college, I used to spend time
organizing my week and planning a strategy to tackle each class and assignment. I love
working in a team environment where I try to use strengths of each individual in a team
and hence produce the best results.”
“Try to specify your weakness as your strength and also highlight it as a benefit.”
2) I feel I am not very detail-oriented. I’m a person that wants accomplish as much as
possible. I realized this hurts quality and therefore I‘m trying hard to find a balance
between quality and quantity.
3) At times even when I need help, I try to solve my own problems instead of asking a
co-worker who might know the answer. This would save me more time and I would be
more efficient. I’m working on knowing when it would be beneficial to ask for help.`
There’s a saying –
2) I work well under pressure because I don’t panic. I use the pressure to help me work
more efficiently. I maintain self control and work as efficiently as possible. At times, I try
to prioritize and plan as much as I can.
3) Working under pressure has always been a learning experience for me because it helps
me grow. I have always worked well during deadline, and I always learned how to work
more efficiently afterwards.
4) Well I believe I work the same if there’s pressure or not. I try and take the emotional
factors and work hard regardless of down time. I always prioritize and organize my work
and hence that gives me a Psychological advantage over pressure. At times whenever
time becomes a constraint I put extra effort and time to meet the deadline. So pressure
has nothing to do with my work.
Short term goal depends upon where you stand right now. A person with 5 years of
experience will have different short term goals than a person with no work experience.
4) My short term goal is to become a marketing analyst. I’ve learned the basics of
marketing during my first two years and hence I am raring to take on challenging
projects.
5) My short term goal is to get into a management position. The last five years of my
career I have concentrated on learning and acquiring all the managerial skills. Recently
I’ve taken more responsibilities in management because I eventually want to become
production manager. I feel I’m doing a diligent job by volunteering for extra work to gain
more experience and hope to be in a management position within a year or two.
“Never simply state your Short term goal but move a step further by stating the
steps you are taking to achieve them.”
1) My long term goal is to be an instructor. I have always loved to teach and hence I
would like to grow newer employees and help co-workers where ever I can.
3) My long term goal is to become partner for a consulting firm. I know a lot of hard
work determination and patience is required to become a partner. Many people fail to
become a partner. But that’s not going to stop me anyway from working hard and
learning everything I can. I know it’s going to be tough but becoming a partner is a long
term goal of mine and I am going to work towards this goal throughout my career.
4) My long term goal is to become director of a company. I know it sounds a little too
ambitious but I’m smart and willing to work hard a lot.
4) Five years from now I see myself as a marketing manager. I am going to be learning
and gaining experience until then. I know there are a lot of things to learn, but I’m going
to be working hard for the next five years. I Know opportunity knock the door of great
workers and I’m going to try to be one of them.
The interviewer asks this question just to find out how your skills, experience and
knowledge can add value to the job. Well to answer this question you need to learn what
they are looking for and then tie them with your strengths. This ensures that you are a
viable fit for the position.
The more detail you give the stronger your answers will be. Try to summarize all your
accomplishments and relate what makes you unique.
1) You should hire me because I’m the best person for the job. I realize that there are
likely other candidates who also have the ability to do this job. Yet I bring an additional
quality that makes me the best person for the job - my passion for excellence. I am
passionately committed to producing truly class results.
2) I believe I’m the perfect fit for this position. I’m very detail oriented, and I organize
my work and time very efficiently. But what makes me unique? If I were in your position
I would hire myself because of the passion for this industry and my optimistic
personality. I want to make more of an impact than just doing my job. I don’t want to
blend in with the company; I would rather want my addition to improve it.
3) There are two reasons I should be hired. Firstly, my qualifications match your needs
perfectly. Secondly I’m excited and passionate about this industry and the position and
will always give my 100%.
4) You should definitely hire me. I have a proven track record of success throughout my
education. My education graph always kept roaring with time. This position requires
someone who has the ability to solve problems quickly and who can logically add value
to the job. I believe my skills and abilities matches perfectly with the requirement and
what makes me the unique candidate is my passion towards my work and industry. So
I’m confident I’ll be the best candidate for this position.
5) I’m a perfect fit for this position. I have three years of experience in this technology
and my skills enable me to develop better products in less time. On top of that I’m a great
team player that gets a long with everyone.
6) This position seeks a Quality Assurance Manager, I’m confident I’m the best person
for this job. I have earlier worked with xyz Software Company and I was in charge of a
team that was responsible for the quality of three different applications. I have adept
knowledge in Quality assurance, Product support and even some creative processes that
will benefit a quality assurance team. I love mentoring junior employees since I believe
in sharing knowledge to everyone in the company who work with me. So I strongly
believe that I’ll be the best candidate due to the combination of my experience, my
management skills, abilities and my desire to provide growth in employees.
Always remember: “Never compare youself to other applicants who are vying for the
same position”
Never bring up the salary topic. Always allow the interviewer to do it first. Do not give a
figure right away. If you state a figure you risk stating something that is too high or
something that is too low. In either case the loss is yours. Many a times peoples and
friends around us suggest saying something as “I’m sure whatever I am offered will be a
fair price”. No doubt it’s a safe answer but I would recommend answering this question
with a range.
The thumb rule of any negotiations is: The side with more information wins. Try to learn
what the employer is willing to pay before you reveal what you’re willing to accept.
Hence when asked about salary, you can say:
“I’m sure the company has already established a salary range for this position. Can you
tell me what that is?”
Or
“I want an income commensurate with my ability and qualifications. I trust you’ll be fair
with me. What does this position pay?”
If you have some idea regarding the pay for the position, then just state something a little
higher with a small range included as-
“Based on the information I have about the position, a salary in the range 15000 – 18000
would reflect the experience and expertise that I would bring to the role.”
Or
“I know the average pay for this position is roughly around 15000. But because I have
two years of experience, I would like something around 15000 – 18000.”
If the salary range is already stated in the job description, then you can answer that you
are willing to consider any offer stated in the job description as:
“The job description says that the salary will be around 15000 – 18000. I think it’s a fair
range.”
“I would expect to be paid competitively and commensurate with the level of skill,
experience and responsibility that this particular job requires”
The reality is that most jobs require us to work both independently and in teams. Your
response to this question should show that you have been successful in both situations.
Most employers want someone who can work well in a team and work well alone.
1) I would like to work in an environment where there is a blend of both. Its great
working in teams while sharing and learning ideas with each other, but it’s also great to
sit at my own desk and work hard productively. Therefore I would like to work
independently towards a team goal.
2) I believe both are two sides of the same coin. They can never be isolated. A man has to
work individually and also as a team player. The value of teamwork is the emergence of
new ideas and creative solutions as well as sharing of the work load. So I prefer to work
both as an individual and as a team member.
3) During my school days, I was a team member of the Cricket team and the Band Group.
Each required a different kind of team play and the learning experience was invaluable.
But simultaneously I had to work hard individually for my School exams and other
competitive exams where I need to learn and perform on my own. Hence I understand the
value of both and therefore I am comfortable working on a team and independently as
well.
4) I like working myself. But I love working in a team because one thing is for sure -
gaining and sharing knowledge through experience. It is always said “Two heads are
better than one”. Working as an individual, I can apply all that I have learned throughout
the career. So I believe both have their importance and both are required to be successful
in any field.
5) What I have learned from the job description is: this position requires someone who
can handle assignments which in turn requires great deal of independent work and
research. I am equally comfortable working as a member of a team and independently.
My career marks and percentage shows my individual effort. Moreover I was the captain
of the winning cricket team of my school and I was adjudged the best bowler of the
tournament which shows that I am an efficient team member also. So I am comfortable
with both.
Its fine when you say you majored the subject because you liked it. But never say you
chose the major because you didn’t know what else to do and you couldn’t get into a
better one.
1) From the very beginning I always had a lure towards electronics field. During my
school days I participated a lot in Science Exhibitions and won a lot of prizes. That gave
me the confidence to learn more about this field. When I completed my Intermediate I got
a chance and I grabbed it with both hands. Hence I would say my Interest made me to
choose electronics as my major.
2) I majored in English because it was a field I knew would make me more skilled in
reading, writing and communicating. I believe English is a tool that is used everywhere,
so I thought it was the best major for me.
3) I majored in Mechanical because I always love to work with machines and motors. My
father runs a motor vehicles workshop and I always try to learn something from him and
workers. This way my interest kept growing and therefore I chose mechanical.
4) I majored in History because I always had a keen interest in historical facts. I chose
this major because I really enjoyed the subject. I planned on becoming a high school
history teacher, but then I started to get into computers. It’s totally different from history
but it really fascinated me. Now, instead of looking in the past, I’m always looking into
the future through all the technological changes.
The interviewer wants to know why you chose to serve his company. Basically this
question is asked to people having experience in their respective field. Don’t start
babbling and don’t give a short answer. Do some research about the company and then
answer this question by associating sufficient data and information. Try to find out the
status of the company, the turnover of the company, why this company is best among the
competitors, etc. Such information will help you to answer in the best possible manner.
Try to gather information from annual reports, company’s website, articles about the
company and the corporate newsletter.
1) Three reasons why I would like to work for your company are:
- Since your company provides a strong core competency, very strong value systems and
best practices so I believe I have a strong vision of viewing myself as a project leader in
your company.
- Your company has one of the fastest growth rates and turnover in the industry and that
would mean a faster growth rate for me as a professional.
- The practices of your company are more employee and customer oriented.
2) I well understand that this is a company on the way up. And recently I studied and saw
on your website about the launch of several new products which is imminent. I want to be
a part of this business as it grows. Additionally, the team I would work with looks
terrific.
2) I learned that this Company has a great work environment and is an employee
oriented. It’s a place where strong contributors are rewarded. I want to work for a
company with opportunities and I know this company will definitely provide me.
3) I learned that this company provides a strong core competency, very strong value
systems and best practices so I believe I have a strong vision of viewing myself as a
member of this company. Also it has one of the fastest growth rates and turnover in the
industry and that would mean a faster growth rate for me as a professional.
4) The practices of your company are more employee and customer oriented. Also I
learned from sources that this company provides services to large corporations and is a
leader in IT Solutions. That’s why I ‘m excited to have the opportunity to join this
company.
1) I would like a job which gives me a chance to apply all that I have learned in college
and enable me to grow as a professional. I would like a role which enables me to make a
difference and improve my skills.
2) Great learning opportunities, challenging roles, rational career progression and good
job satisfaction. I would also like to work for an organization that gives me an
opportunity to serve the organization, the society and above all my country.
3) I seek three things from the job: Competence, Challenging Roles and learning
opportunities. I want a position where I can apply my skills and abilities at par so that I
can add some value to the organization.
4) I’m looking for a place to learn and a chance to improve my practicalities and thereby
taking my employer to its level best by showing my fullest dedication and work
strengths.
15. How do you evaluate the success?
Here the interviewer simply wants to know what success means to you in your
professional and personal life. Many people view success in terms of power, wealth, or
fame. But many of the most enduring and satisfying forms of success have nothing do
with acquiring power, wealth, or fame. Success is what you make it. For some people it is
just keeping busy, having fun and enjoying life as never before.
2) Success to me is to set a goal, plan the steps to achieve the goal, implement the plan
and finally achieve the goal.
16. During the performance reviews, what criticism do you hear the most?
No one likes to be criticized. But as a young professional, you will experience the barbs
of negative feedback in both your personal as well as professional life. Here the
interviewer is on the look out for your accountability and professional character.
Generally this question is for people with experience. You shouldn’t answer it directly by
saying all the criticism you had faced during your tenure, rather try to mould the answer
to show your positive attitude towards the critics.
Always remember “You can’t please everyone, so just please yourself. You are your
best critic. Some people are just not going to like you. Accept it.”
1) I believe criticism should be dealt with positive attitude because it gives us information
on how to improve. The criticism I heard during my tenure was to voice my opinions,
ideas and suggestions in group meetings. My manager always liked my suggestions
whenever I personally met him, but in group meetings I usually let him speak. Now, I
feel more confident that I can suggest my ideas and opinions in groups.
2) My boss has always appreciated my work and told me that I did my projects well and
within the stipulated time. But he asked me to send more updates and that too frequently
so that he can report to his seniors and managers.
17. Suppose you find yourself in a deserted island. What three things you
will need to survive?
Food, Water and HOPE (that one day I will definitely come out from this island).
18. How do you think you conducted or performed during this interview?
I think I have conducted myself in the best possible manner by satisfying your queries
through my specific answers which I feel were logical, systematic and to the point.
Through my answer my true worth as a dynamic and competent professional has come
out fair and square and I am happy with my performance which would ensure my
selection in this esteemed organization.
I am absolutely mobile. Well I can go to any part of the country or even abroad if
situation permits.
20.If after sometime you start disliking the job? What would you do?
Well, if such situation then my first priority would be to look within myself and try to
find out any shortcomings or lack of skills and techniques. If such things happen then I
would try to improve and rectify myself. Still if I don’t get an answer then I will speak to
my seniors and colleagues to learn my mistakes so that I become more user friendly to
my organization.
Once I had a problem with my team-mate in college who was my partner in my field
work assignment. We had a disagreement on how to present our project report.
I explained my point of view to her and asked her for her view point. I’ve found that
when conflict occurs, it’s because of a failure to see both sides of the situation. At that
point we found a compromise could be reached by incorporating both our ideas.
