This is a very common question that is asked in almost every interview. I love this question because it gives you the opportunity to sell yourself. Discuss what makes you standout from the crowd and show them how you can help advance their company. Remember to be specific. This is where all the company research you have done comes into play. You should have an idea as to why the company is hiring or looking to hire someone for that position. What problem do they have that they are looking for people to help them solve? And once you can establish this, you are to show them how you can solve this problem for them.

My day usually begins with me ensuring that my counter is properly set and maintained. Then comes client handling where I engage them in conversation to determine their specific requirements, and then suggest viable products for them.

No workplace is perfect and it is my job to make sure that I create an environment that is as near-perfect as possible. One of the worst problems that I have had to face in the past is handling clients who feel that it is their right to walk in without an appointment.

Well, people in that type of industry … They’re focus is on your face because that’s where the makeup is. That’s where the art is.

• Emphasize the strengths you have that are crucial to the position
• Find out from the job description and from company research, the kind of strengths the company invests in.

Either preference is fine, but just remember you have to be able to explain why. If you say recognition, then back that up by describing how achievement really carries weight with you and how you like to feel valued in the work that you do because it validates that you're helping your teammates / customers and so forth. If you choose money, you can also explain that is important to you as validation and you can highlight how money is important to you because of your goals (financial security, providing for your family, and so forth). The key is to be authentic with your answer. However, if you say you value pay more because you're greedy - know that doesn't align usually to most company's values/vision.
