Stay positive and develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor. He believed in anarchy system and always consulted his boss rather than going to him with an idea or being helpful in reaching towards a solution.
Question Tell me about your ability to work under pressure? Answer tips You may say that you thrive under certain types of pressure. Give an example that relates to the type of position applied for. Mention pressures you face on the daily, such as dealing with deadlines on a regular basis.

Answer tips You should be clear on this with your family prior to the interview if you think there is a chance it may come up. Do not say yes just to get the job if the real answer is no. This can create a lot of problems later on in your career. Be honest at this point and save yourself future grief. Question Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead of your own? Answer tips This is a straight loyalty and dedication question.
Do not worry about the deep ethical and philosophical implications. Just say yes. You should be honest. Like, you might be willing to work on weekends even if it means missing out on one of your favorite pasttimes; however, you might not be willing to lie to customers in order to make a sale.
Answer samples You should yes. Question Describe your management style? Answer tips Try to avoid labels. Some of the more common labels, like progressive, salesman or consensus, can have several meanings or descriptions depending on which management expert you listen to.
The situational style is safe, because it says you will manage according to the situation, instead of one size fits all. I believe in personal accountability. If you make a mistake, own up, learn and move on. I believe in making mistakes. No one should be afraid to make a mistake.
If you are going to fail, then fail fast. I believe in results. I measure people on results not activity. Activity without impact is poison to me. I believe in treating people like professionals. From the start I believe in giving and expecting trust. You receive it automatically and keep it unless you do something to lose it. I believe in delegating responsibility and authority. I believe in building a team. Each member of the team should be clear on their role, know where they fit in and feel they can depend on and lean upon others in the team to achieve group goals.
I believe in adapting my management style to the needs of the employee. Some people need a very directive approach, some just need goals and the freedom to achieve them. I believe in real-time feedback.
If you do something wrong you should know it immediately. If you do something right, you should hear about it right away. The further removed feedback is in time, the less effective it is.
I believe in continuous improvement. On a daily and weekly basis we look at what went right, what went wrong, what needs to be tuned to improve effectiveness. Question What have you learned from mistakes on the job? Answer tips Here you have to come up with something or you strain credibility.
Make it small, well intentioned mistake with a positive lesson learned. An example would be working too far ahead of colleagues on a project and thus throwing coordination off. Everyone makes mistakes, of course, but some companies are more willing to learn from them than punish those involved.
Question Do you have any blind spots? Answer tips Trick question. If you know about blind spots, they are no longer blind spots. Do not reveal any personal areas of concern here. Let them do their own discovery on your bad points. Do not hand it to them.
But instead try to bring out that you are very team oriented. Question If you were hiring a person for this job, what would you look for? Answer tips Be careful to mention traits that are needed and that you have. That can be: Qualification, attitude, team spirit, sincerity, and spirit.
Answer sample: I would look for good communication skill and for great dedication towards job and responsibility to work in under pressure also.

Everything is new to me, so I am that much more excited to learn everything. Question What qualities do you look for in a boss? Answer tips Be generic and positive. Safe qualities are knowledgeable, a sense of humor, fair, loyal to subordinates and holder of high standards.
All bosses think they have these traits. He has capacity to lead the team according to circumstances. Answer tips Pick a specific incident. Concentrate on your problem solving technique and not the dispute you settled.
Question What position do you prefer on a team working on a project? Answer tips Be honest. If you are comfortable in different roles, point that out.
Try to learn as much as you can about the job. What does it involve on a day-to-day basis and how much will you need to work independently as opposed to collaborating with others? If you are going to Antarctica, you definitely want to be a team player. Only because I know I would be most likely the only person who can get the job done right. Question What has been your biggest professional disappointment?
Answer tips Be sure that you refer to something that was beyond your control. Show acceptance and no negative feelings.

This is one of common job interview questions. Question What are the most difficult decisions to make? This is one of the most typical behavioral questions in an interview. With this question, the interviewer is planning to examine your behaviors under a problem and how you handle it. You may answer as sincerely as you wish, but there is one tip that you should notice: what you did in the past is not the indication of how you will behave in the future.
The key is learning. First, you address the difficult situation you were in and describe it. Then, tell the interviewer how you did resolve it or acted under such situation. Remember to keep a positive tone for example, when you talked about those who had made mistakes and be specific about details of your solution.
Finally, tell the interviewer of what you have learn from such experience. You may even scan your memory for many problems and consider them as challenges and how you resolved them in a professional manner. Question Give some examples of teamwork?

At that time, I had to work closely with many departments and parties including market research department, customer relationship department, the vendors, clients and authorities. I even directed a team to perform related tasks. I did the job quite well and selected the qualified vendor for the package.
I believe teamwork is something very valuable to a company. It not only helps with developing individual performance, but also makes more contribution to the organization in general. Question Do you prefer to work Independently or on a team? I believe your company is recruiting just exact candidates as I have read from the job descriptions, there are some duties that require teamwork while others require individual skills to complete.
Therefore, I totally believe that I can do the job well. I applied those in my part-time works and it turned quite exceptionally well. Therefore, I think I am more of a team player than an individual. I had performed many projects in the past where I worked with many teams, and I believe, my performance in the future will be very impressive. Question How would you describe your work style? This is the chance for you to impress the interviewer if such a question like this is asked.
Work style is important to every firm and you may expect this question in the interview. So, remember to check this out as it will do you nothing bad but good.
