 Could you tell me about yourself?
● My name is Jane Doe and I recently graduated from University X with
a B.A. in international business. While I don’t have any real-life work
experience, I’ve had a lot of exposure to the business environment. A
lot of my courses involved working with real companies to solve real
problems.
● Sure, I’d be glad to. I’m an tech-focused project manager for up to 8
years now. I graduated from University X with a major in business
administration and a minor in computer science. After that, I first got
into the industry working as an administrative assistant at Company
X. After that, I was working as a project manager for Company Y. In my
downtime, I enjoy reading about AI, tech, and robotics.
 How did you hear about this
position?

“I heard from Jim Doe, my old colleague and college friend,

that [Company X] was looking for a new sales director. He
encouraged me to apply, saying that my experience managing
a sales team at [Some Software Company] would be helpful
for [Company X].
 What is your greatest accomplishment?
Well, as a recent graduate of XYZ University, I think my greatest achievement was
what I managed to accomplish during my time there. My scholarship only covered half
of the tuition, and my family was unable to support me financially. I also wanted to
gain some work experience during my time there, so that I could start working directly
after graduating.
Through hard work and dedication, I managed to balance studying, working part-time,
and even volunteering to gain some experience. It was tiring at times, but I scheduled
pretty much everything I had to do in my personal calendar. This way, I never missed a
deadline, assignment or any other responsibility.”
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
I have some strengths. I’m very communicative and really get
along with people. After 3 years of experience in the service
industry, I have no problem with building instant rapport and
actively engaging with customers. I’m also pretty good at
performing under pressure. At Restaurant X, there was
constant chaos, especially during peak season.  I actually
enjoyed the experience, though.

About my weakness, I’m naturally shy. From high

school and into my early professional
interactions, it sometimes prevented me from
speaking up. However, I try my best to overcome
it. I joined an improv acting class. It’s fun and has
really helped me overcome my shyness.
What are your salary requirement?

● My salary expectation is between $XX,XXX and

$XX,XXX, which is the average salary for a
candidate with my level of experience in this
city. However, I am flexible and willing to
discuss.
● I am seeking a position that pays between
$75,000 and $80,000 annually, but I am open
to negotiating salary depending on benefits,
bonuses, equity, stock options and other
opportunities.
How do you see yourself in 5 years?

In five years, I’d like to be an industry expert in my field, able

to train and mentor students and entry-level designers alike.
I would also like to gain specialized expertise in user
experience to be a well-rounded contributor working with
design and marketing teams on large-scale projects that
make a difference both in the company and the global
community.
