Q. Give me an example of a problem you faced on
job, and tell me how you solved it. A. "I try to take a systematic approach to problem solving where I take
time to gather
relevant data, clearly define
problem or goal, then come up with possible solutions. I think it is important to get
information and clarify
problem first before you start coming up with possible solutions, or wasting other people's time. FOR INSTANCE, when I was at Job "X" ... What kinds of challenges are you currently facing in your department? How tough a position does this put you in? What could
ideal candidate do to help solve this problem in his or her first three months on
job?"
Q. Describe a situation when working with a team produced more successful results than if you had completed
project on your own. A. "Working with others allows you data-mine other people's skills and experiences, get perspectives and ideas that you would not have on your own, and check
quality of your own work before it goes out
door. FOR EXAMPLE, at Job "X" I worked with many great people. I was able to "pick their brains" -- so to speak -- about
effectiveness of various techniques, estimates on how long it would take to get various things done, etc. I would not have been able to do my job as effectively with out them. Will there be
opportunity to work in team situations at this job?"
I wish you all
best in your next job interview!
