would be beneficial to ask for help.

Ans#2: I believe one of my weaknesses is my impatience. Whenever I work in a team and any of the team
members don’t perform up to the expectation, I get impatient and annoyed. I understand if they are working
hard and if their portion is difficult, but sometimes a person can’t do the assignment due to incompetence and

new and difficult things. Whenever I'm faced with a change, I'll put in extra effort to make the change a smooth

Ans#1: I see myself as a risk taker. But before taking the risk, I always evaluate all other options, weigh the pros
and cons of success and failure, and after careful consideration, I would definitely take a risk if the rewards were
high enough.

Ans#2: I’ll take risks, but I always proceed with caution, so I guess I fall somewhere in between. I like to see what
my odds are before I take a risk. I also want to know that I stand to gain or lose.

Q: Why should I hire you?

Ans#1: 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.

challenge and an opportunity to use my technical skills and experience in a different capacity than I have in the

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.

Ans#2: 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.

Ans: I am not looking for just another paycheck. I enjoy my work and I am proud of my profession. I believe your

experience in a different capacity than I have in the past.

other areas that can give rise to it.

track. I know that if I expect to rise in the company, I must first prove myself to be manageable.

Q: How do you take directions? How do you handle criticism?

the direction and get on with the job without taking offense so my boss can get on with his/her job as well. It's
the only way to accomplish our tasks.
