project management with my people skills

example of a response with no professional experience
The reason that I applied for this position is because the qualifications matched my strengths perfectly

Efficiently, yes many people have these qualities
but if I were in your position
I would hire myself because of the passion I have for this industry and my optimistic
Personality my education background and strength show that I can do this job
I would like to make more of an impact than just doing my job to do what it takes to improve the company
Where do you see yourself five years from now, I don't particularly like this question because five years
Nowadays is such a long time and everything happens so quickly
However, I'll briefly explain how to come up with an idea for your response and give you a few clear
examples to use why is this question tricky the ultimate goal of
Good hiring manager is not looking for just anyone but for an ideal candidate
This question will easily filter out the ones who are not meant for this role of company
Keep in mind that you don't just answer this question. You do it in a way
So your answer is in line with company's long-term goals and values
You've already shown interest for the position by applying and being now interviewed for it
This question is meant to find out how much your way desire the position

Enthusiastic no employer wants to hire someone
Invest time and money in them if they are planning to leave soon
But the hiring manager is looking for a professional who is genuinely enthusiastic
about this position
Generic but realistic with replies keep your answers tailored to the position and as realistic as you can
Job interviews are all about specific and real-life examples. This question is
Hypothetical so being generic can work here but not for any other questions

It's a big plus to study the department

usual career moves for those who work there
If you can't find this information, this would be an excellent question to ask during the interview
Divide your answer in two parts to simplify
The first part should focus on how excited you are about the current position
The second part is about your future plans and your long-term
Projection within the company here come a few examples for you to use
From the moment. I read the job description for this position

Helping and contributing to employees career growth
Long-term commitment from an employer is important to me because it creates a sense of belonging
I'm driven to achieve both mine and company's goals
and I'm sure that this stability will allow me to do so and
Grow within this role in five years. I see myself growing into a supervisor or manager

responsibilities in the next three years and
Potentially even lead projects. I've been lucky enough to work with some amazing
Managers so developing into a great manager myself is something I'm really excited about
The interviewer wants to hear what you plan to do with the job. You are applying for right now. Your answers should reflect
Motivation and realistic growth you need to reassure the hiring that you are a perfect
Candidate for the role and a great investment for the company's future
What are your greatest strengths question?
I'm also sharing with you three adaptable examples
Which could serve you as an inspiration while putting up together your own response?
What are your strengths is a classic interview question? It seems simple
but it isn't it requires a balance between not appearing to humble and
underselling your achievements and skills and in between selling yourself too much coming across arrogant and
Self-interested. This is a main reason why most candidates don't answer
Well, so let's prepare this question properly and turn it into a great advantage
What are your biggest strengths question can also be asked in other similar ways?
What are you good at? And how would you apply that to this role? What do you feel sets you apart from the competition?
What would your colleagues say you bring to your team?
What accomplishments are you most proud of etc?
The interviewer wants to know how would your strengths
Translate to the job you've applied for
It's your moment to demonstrate this connection and reassure them in being a strong candidate
important checklist before would proceed to full examples
Analyze yourself and be honest with your answer choose strengths that you actually possess
Knowing your strengths will serve you well in job interviews
And in the rest of your life to keep it to a couple of strengths, so it will make your preparation easier
It's about your strengths and not the achievements
Make sure you separate them make your answers relevant to the role. Take a close. Look at the job description
Figure out what the job requires and what is important to the company?
The idea is being honest and giving the company what they respond best to
demonstrate your ability to settle into the job faster and
For better than other candidates don't raise any red flags
Saying that your greatest strength is the ability to show up on time for example wouldn't do here any favors
Prepare specific and detailed examples giving a detailed example makes you answer powerful
Don't wait for the interviewer to ask you to elaborate on your strengths many times
They want talk about how you use this strength to achieve a specific result
Be prepared for the follow-up questions. For example
When did you use this strength in your previous role? Here are a few examples
Some of which can be easily adapted to your profile. I
Feel I'm really customer oriented
I'm good in interacting with people and helping them solve their doubts or problems
Whether it's in person on the phone via email or online messaging
I've been an online customer service manager for over two years and I enjoy dealing with people around the world
My employer has high standards for customer satisfaction
My team and I have been trained to defuse angry customers so they can be helped and even be satisfied with our services
We are measured on how satisfied people are after they've spoken to us and if they purchase additional
Products or services as a result of our interactions?
I'm proud to say that my team and I are among the leaders within the company. I
Pride myself on my leadership and my team management skills
My leadership skills had always come natural
I managed to develop them through supervising junior team members with the guidance of my former manager
Leadership is necessary to keep projects team moving in the right direction
Finishing projects on time on budget and meeting both technical and business requirements
took substantial planning management skills
Especially when half of the team members didn't directly report to me. I've been an IT project manager for over four years
Managing nine major projects at this timeframe
All those projects are completed on schedule and were considered successes
I also trained four team members, so they were promoted to project management positions
My greatest strength is my diplomacy
I had never thought of this as a strength until my managers pointed it out to me
Once they did I realized it's a skill I can use to benefit everyone involved on the job
Recently, I helped to resolve a situation which was about to go very badly
we had a client make so many demands which seemed unreasonable to our team that we were about to finish our
Collaboration our team and the client were feeling despair over this situation through face-to-face
meetings that I arranged with all 20 people involved we were able to establish a good relationship and
Get the project back on track
I was awarded an employee of the Year award for my efforts to delay the firing and for saving this collaboration. I
Have a very strong communication skills
Whether it's over the phone in person or written I tend to express myself in a clear and concise manner. I
received several positive feedbacks from my manager for solving difficult situations with my
Communication skills and I even got an acknowledgement in the company newsletter for just being really good at talking to clients
I think the strength will help me to do well on the job since being a receptionist requires
interfacing with individuals from different backgrounds
I'll be able to make each person feel welcome and that their business is valued
Keep it short and to the point
Practice a couple of times before they interview to make a stronger impact and to answer with confidence
What are your greatest?
weaknesses I
Personally prefer rephrasing it - what are your development areas?
It can also be asked in other similar ways
What would your manager or colleagues describe as your biggest weakness?
Which tasks or duties?
Do you struggle with the most?
Which difficulties and issues have arising in your current role?
Is there any of your skill set that you feel still needs work?
From my experience as a recruiter
I tend to ask this question to candidates which make it big and noticeable effort in selling themselves
During the interview sometimes without realizing it for many hiring managers. It is interesting to hear
candidates
Analyzing their development areas to hear how reflective they are about their skill set
This question can trip a lot of people up because no one wants to talk about
the less impressive part of their skills or personality
However, never say you don't have any development areas
I've had candidates saying this to me during interviews and the impact is
Exactly the same as saying that you don't have any ability to learn and to grow
Important checklist before we proceed to pull examples
Analyze your development areas
It should be weakness related to your professional competencies and skills
Answers like I don't do enough exercise or I don't speak certain language. Well
Sound like you are trying to avoid the question
Don't try to disguise a strength as a weakness I
Work too hard, or I am a perfectionist
These are ridiculous because as a recruiter you hear them every day
The hiring manager will see you through and might label you as someone dishonest
Be honest, but don't raise any red flags
Giving an honest answer is important if you make something up you might not be able to handle the follow-up
questions
pick a weakness
Acceptable for the role
Don't say you are awful with numbers if you are applying for an accounting job, for example
Explain the measures YouTube to correct this skill
The first part of your answer should reflect that you detected this weakness
The second part is how you have actively been working on it
The weakness needs to be something that you can improve through a personal effort. Here are a few examples
Some of which can be easily adapted to your profile
Example for a position dealing with numbers and data I
Never had much experience working directly with clients
That's why my client facing communication skills. Definitely need some work
I'm much more comfortable beginning to the data and providing the
Analysis rather than talking about it to the client. I
realized that the experience of working with clients directly
would be a big help to the way that I present my
analysis
So I used every chance to take an opportunity
And talk to a client and I will continue to improve this area of expertise
Example which is more generic
At the beginning of my career. I was overwhelmed with the level an amount of work expected from me
Projects came all at the same time and I didn't schedule and plan each of the stages properly
Eventually, this made me overlook certain mistakes, which I detected further on since then
I attended a number of time management seminars and I have found my workload much more manageable
Each time. I'm more productive and detailed and I continue to work on it
Example which could be a case for many public speaking is an area which I should still work on when I started
College it was a real problem
I was just terrified of doing it and I ended up ruining my speeches a few times. I
Decided to take a small step of promising myself that I would speak up in front of small groups
For example in a class then. I worked up to taking a public speaking class which made the big difference
Now even though I get nervous, I feel like it is something that doesn't hold me back recently
I gave a speech at a conference
I was still shaking during my speech
But it went great and I received a really good feedback in the end
I plan on continue to seek out opportunities to improve in this area
Example of being too direct
Sometimes I can be a little too honest when I provide feedback to co-workers
My personality is naturally straightforward and my colleagues really value that
However, I learned that there are times on the job when more diplomacy is required
I took a training class on how to communicate with power and it really opened my eyes to the need of
communicating different with different people
So now I am much better at providing constructive and inspiring
Feedback, even though it doesn't always come naturally
Keep it short and to the point
Practice a couple of times to make a stronger impact and to answer with confidence
