“Interview Question”
Why Do You Want to Work Here?
Hiring managers use this question to try to gauge a candidate's motives for seeking the opportunity. While your primary reason for applying may be financially motivated, this would not be the emphasis to share during the interview.
How to Answer "Why Do You Want to Work Here?" Think of other reasons you chose to throw your hat in the ring at the specific organization. Maybe you like the company's culture that you read about online, or maybe you've heard from current employees that they love their jobs. If so, spend some time figuring out the best words to use to explain that. Another good answer could tie back to your career interests. For example, if you're a marketer applying for an entry-level marketing position, you might focus on sharing what it is about the company that makes you feel this would be the right place to develop your career skills in your field. #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions

“Interview Question”
Why Are You Looking for a New Job? If you already have a job and are conducting a job search, the interviewer might be naturally curious as to what has prompted your desire for change.
How to Answer "Why Are You Looking for a New Job?" Be careful here, as revealing a dissatisfaction with your current company, boss, or co-workers could serve as a red flag for the hiring team. Instead of complaining about grievances you may have about your current position, focus your answer on your desire for greater opportunities and career growth. For example, you might say: “While I’ve been excited about the opportunities I’ve had in my current position, I’m looking for a company that I can move to the next level with. I am very invested in this industry and want to be with a key industry player to further my career growth.” #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions

Describe a time when you had to give a person difficult feedback?
I gave my manager a difficult write-up when she underrated me during a performance review, which was based on contractor's feedback (hearsay).
Contractors who had a history of side stepping their contractual obligations with our corporation. I was one who did not allow said contractors to shower me with distractions to cover up their shortcomings.
My manager was not acting as a leader, and she unfortunately, answered to her manager for her thoughtless decision. Me, as a professional, will always protect my reputation and move forward dignity in hand.
“Interview Tip”
Do You Consider Yourself to Be a Team Player? Why or Why Not?
Be careful here, as interpreting this question too literally can backfire on you. Companies are asking this question because teamwork is essential, on some level, in most roles – even those where you’re primarily an individual contributor. If you don’t consider yourself a team player and prefer to work on your own, it’s best to be diplomatic in how you explain this. Stating your preference is one thing, but flat out saying that you aren’t a team player will backfire and give you a red flag from most interviewers.
How to Answer "Do You Consider Yourself to Be a Team Player?" If you truly hate teamwork and want to be upfront about it, try stating something along these lines: “I’m honestly an amazing individual contributor since in this role, focus is so important – but I also understand and very much value partnership and collaboration. I’m a team player when it helps everyone achieve our goals, and I’m also very self-motivated to work individually as needed.” #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions

“Interview Question”
What Professional Achievement Are You Most Proud Of? While you may actually consider saving someone's life as a lifeguard in high school to be your proudest moment on the job, don't take this question literally unless you are actually interviewing to be a lifeguard.
How to Answer "What Professional Achievement Are You Most Proud Of?" The correct approach to describing your greatest professional achievement is to hone in on the position that you're applying for and find a relevant experience in your past career arsenal to showcase something that the hiring manager would hope to find in an employee. An equally smart strategy is to focus on a general accomplishment that would impress any employer, such as creating a tactic to increase your department's productivity. #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions

“Interview Question”
What Would You Do in the First 30, 60 and 90 Days on the Job?
Active listening will come in handy here. This common interview question may be hard to prepare for in advance, since details that you learn during the interview itself about the employer's priorities may help you formulate a better, more specific answer.
How to Answer "What Would You Do in the First 30, 60 and 90 Days on the Job?" If you need a refresher about any points that your interviewers have raised in terms of their priorities, or if they haven't shared them yet, it's fair to ask for clarification before you begin answering. Knowing what the hiring manager cares most about is key to how you should frame your plan for what you would do during your initial months in the position. #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions
