Interview questions . . .

So reading the questions in Jenny's post about her interview yesterday made me think of something . . .  I can't remember jackshit lately. The meds I'm on make it difficult for me to concentrate and have made me incredibly forgetful. Ask me what restaurant I ate in last weekend? I can't remember the name. What happened with that difficult customer two days ago? Give me a 10 minutes and then the memory will kick in.

Luckily, after years of dealing with ADD, I'm pretty good at forcing myself to concentrate. However, the memory thing is more troubling. I'm applying for a bunch of jobs this weekend and hopefully (fingers crossed) I'll get some calls for interviews. I'm usually great in interviews but I'm going to have to prepare like a crazy person this time around.

I'm mostly concerned about questions like "Can you give me an example of when (XYZ) happened and how you handled it?" I want to have examples prepared for these but really any examples of interview questions people have been asked recently would be helpful!

Thanks peeps!

Re: Interview questions . . .

  • The only one I can remember is a question that was something like, "Give me an example of a situation in the workplace where you and someone else disagreed when it came to an aspect of department operations/management.  How did you handle it?  What was the outcome?"  It was something along those lines, basically like how do you deal with conflicting opinions/make sure everyone feels their voice is heard type of thing.

    What are your 3 strongest qualities?

    What is your worst quality?

    How do you handle difficult situations (i.e. employee not following safety req, being in a disagreement with an associate, etc)?
