3 :: Tell us how would you deal with sensitive information?

I have a valid track record of maintaining the confidentiality of all kinds of information. I can provide references to vouch for my integrity in this regard.

4 :: Please explain what is your biggest weakness that’s really a weakness, and not a secret strength?

I am extremely impatient. I expect my employees to prove themselves on the very first assignment. If they fail, my tendency is to stop delegating to them and start doing everything myself.

To compensate for my own weakness, however, I have started to really prep my people on exactly what will be expected of them.

5 :: Tell us suppose if you were running a company that produces X and the market was tanking for that product, what would you do?

I would search for new markets for the product while I spurred the engineers to change the product to make it more marketable to its original core audience.

6 :: Can you tell us why did you take so much time off from work, and why do you wish to get a job now?

When I first had the twins, my husband was working 24/7, and I really needed to be there to raise the kids. But during that time, I really missed working.

Fortunately, I kept my hand in the business during those years by consulting for several of my ex-clients.

7 :: Tell us would you rather get permission from your boss before undertaking a brand-new project, or be given enough rope to “hang yourself”?

During my first week on the job, I would ask my boss how she would prefer me to handle projects. If she indicated that she wanted a take-charge person under her, I would take the ropes. If she told me she wanted me to run ideas by her first, I would comply. I think the real challenge is being able to adapt to your work environment, and I’m flexible.

8 :: Please explain me your dream job?

This is my dream job and that’s why I approached you about it in the first place. I am excited about the prospect of helping your promotion agency upgrade and fine tune your loyalty programs.

9 :: Tell us why do you want to work with us as Data Entry Specialist?

I am much impressed by your mission and reputation of delivering the best health care services in the town. I want to make the most of my data entry and clerical skills to contribute to your bottom line.

10 :: Tell us do you have experience in inventory management?

I have managed the sample inventory of the Helix laboratory and the office and medical supplies inventory for the hospital.

11 :: Can you tell me yourself in three words?

Motivated, Diligent and Detail-oriented.

12 :: As you know from your resume, it looks like you were fired twice. How did that make you feel?

After I recuperated from the shock both times, it made me feel stronger. It’s true that I was fired twice, but I managed to bounce back both times and land jobs that gave me more responsibility, paid me more money, and were at better firms.

The morale here is very high. I’ve been exposed to the “seamy underbelly” of this business, but I’m still passionate about working in it.
Read More

13 :: Explain me how many hours a week do you usually work, and why?

I work pretty long hours most of the time. With the extra time, I try to find ways to “add value” to each assignment, both my own and the firm’s. When our clients read our reports, I want them to think that no one else could have possibly written them, except for our company.
Read More

14 :: Tell me when do you think you’ll peak in your career?

I come from a long line of healthy, hardy, mentally active types, and so I confess that I never even think about “peaking” in my career. That having been said, I do think it’s important to have some self-knowledge, and to recognize when one is past one’s prime.

15 :: Do you know what is “Big Data”?

Big Data is a term associated with complex and large datasets. A relational database cannot handle big data, and that’s why special tools and methods are used to perform operations on a vast collection of data. Big data enables companies to understand their business better and helps them derive meaningful information from the unstructured and raw data collected on a regular basis. Big data also allows the companies to take better business decisions backed by data.

16 :: Tell us why do you want to pursue a career as Data Entry Specialist?

My best asset is my typing speed. I would like to take advantage of this asset, and I believe that a data entry position will do justice to it.
Read More

17 :: Suppose you would be required to regularly coordinate with other departments for data collection and getting updates for the data management system. What skills do you think you would utilize for better coordination?

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, superb organizational ability, priority management, a researcher’s mindset for data gathering and patience. These skills would help me coordinate with different departments effectively.
Read More

18 :: Explain what if you work here for five years and don’t get promoted? Many of our employees don’t. Won’t you find it frustrating?

I consider myself ambitious, but I’m also practical. As long as I am continuing to learn and grow within my position, I’ll be a happy camper. Different companies promote people at different rates, and I’m pretty confident that working for you will keep me motivated and mentally stimulated for several years to come.

19 :: Please explain from your resume, I notice that you interned at a small investment banking boutique. Did you pursue a full-time job offer with them? What happened?

Yes, I did very well at my internship, and I had originally assumed that I would come on staff once I graduated from college. However, BB&L drastically cut back the number of new hires they were planning. As fate would have it, they will not be hiring any of the interns they had last summer.

I love working at BB&L, and I brought some references with me today to show you that my job performance there was stellar. Still, in some ways, I consider this new turn of events to be a lucky break for me, believe it or not.

20 :: Explain me under what circumstances have you found it acceptable to break confidence?

When the person doing the confiding has shared the fact that she was doing something unethical — and if I felt that I might be able to stop her behavior by telling someone else about it.
Read More

21 :: Can you tell us how aware are you of internal politics that may affect your performance?

I’m sensitive to internal politics and respect authority figures. But I also do my best to never become embroiled in office politics. At my level, I consider this to be a wise course of action. I like people and can pretty much work with anyone. So I concentrate on doing my job, listening to directions, surpassing expectations, and leaving the internal political battles to the politicians.

22 :: Tell me are you telling me that, now that you’re forty-something, you would be willing to start at an entry-level position just to get your foot in the door here?

Sometimes you need to take a step backward to move your career forward. Starting in an entry-level role would allow me to learn your business from the ground up.

The career that I’ve been in is so different than yours that I would love the opportunity to start over again in your field. The salary cut will be well worth it.
Read More

23 :: Please explain what do you view as your risks and disadvantages with the position we are interviewing you for?

I think that with the home office located halfway across the globe, there is a very small risk that one might not have the chance to interact with the key decision makers as often as might be ideal. On the other hand, teleconferencing, email, faxing, and having a 24/7 work ethic will go a long way towards bridging the gap.
Read More

24 :: Explain me an example of the most difficult political situation that you’ve dealt with on a job?

I was hired by a woman who was on her way out. She asked me to be her “fall guy” on a number of assignments. I just learned to drop the assignments off with my boss on the day that they were due, and when the managers would ring me up, I would recommend that they simply follow up with her. This kept me out of hot water with my boss and with her superiors.
Read More

25 :: Tell us as you know our clients feel more comfortable with ethnic writers. So, while I would love to recommend you for the position, I’m worried that our clients will feel uneasy about us hiring you?

I sincerely believe that being a great writer requires one major skill beyond being able to string sentences together, and that quality is empathy. I think that, rather than looking at my skin colour, your company needs to consider whether or not I can empathize with our target market, and the answer is certainly yes.
