different areas.

committing to stay for a minimum of 12 months. How else can I convince you that I'm
the best person for this position?
3. Describe a difficult experience at work and how you handle it?
I've never been good with accounting but I am going to take the accounting course
in winter, so I hope I am able to handle it well in the future.

a timely manner.

I've learned from each boss I've had. From the good ones I learnt what to do, from
the challenging ones - what not to do.

My goal is to be the best at whatever I do. I want to be a successful career person

organization and that my contribution is appreciated.

responsibility.

Working together in a group having good people skills knowing how to implement
ideas and everyone does their share of work.

compared pricing and service, chose a vendor, and implemented the transition to the
new vendor.
11. Have you ever had difficulty working with a manager?
I am able to say that I have rarely had a trouble with anyone. I try to find out the
common between us and then adapt with everyone’s different personality.
12. Have you gotten angry at work? What happened?
Anger to me means loss of control. I do not lose control. When I get stressed, I
step back, take a deep breath, thoughtfully think through the situation and then begin
to formulate a plan of action.
13. How do you handle pressure?
I actually work better under pressure and I've found that I enjoy working in a
challenging environment.

supervisors and my fellow workers.

I believe that this company has the capacity to offer me a rich and satisfying
career, and I would like to remain employed here for as long as I am having a positive
impact.
16. How much do you expect to get paid?
As for me salary is not important I want to improve my skills this is only my aim.
However you gives I will accept it and I hope you will give exact salary for my ability.
17. How would you describe the pace at which you work?
I complete my work effectively and I increase my speed where things need less
concentration and slow my pace when it needs more time to work.
18. How would you handle it if your boss was wrong?
If my boss was a bully, I would save myself the stress of being yelled at and gave
him what he wanted, so I'm happy.
If my prior supervisor was more easy-going, I would tell him/her “you know, I think
it might work better if I do what you asked in such and such a way”.
19. Is there a type of work environment you prefer?
For me, my ideal work environment is one that is adaptive. When necessary, it
easily handles fast paced work, and is ready for any challenges it undertakes, but also
slows down when work is slow, recognizing the natural shifts in business and
responding accordingly.
20. Tell me why do you want to work here?
Because it has a great reputation... not just for its service, but as a good place to
work.
