Have you ever resolved a dispute between others?




Explanation of the Question:


If you haven’t, explain what you would do.


If you have discussed what you did and how you found out what the dispute was about, you gained everyone’s side of the story and how you resolved the dispute.


This will highlight your people and communication skills.


Example Interview Answer


“I recently walked in on two people arguing at work, there was a big deadline due and everyone was feeling the pressure. 


When I came into the room and asked both people to take a minute and to sit down. This automatically calmed the situation. 


I asked each person to tell me their side of the story without the other person interrupting. In the end, both people wanted the same result, but we’re coming at from a different angle and didn’t realise the other person had the same goal.”

Do you think you have enough experience?




Explanation of the  Interview Question:


If you’re asked this, then the interviewer does not believe you have enough experience.


If you have you need to make this clear, explain about your previous experiences and give detail to the parts that are relevant to this new job role.


If you do not have the experience they need, you need to show the employer you have the skills, qualities and knowledge that will make you equal to people with experience but not necessary the skills. It is also good to add how quick you can pick up the routine of a new job role.


Example Interview Answer


“Altogether I have 8 years experience in this industry, in my current role as a manager I spend a large amount of time auditing accounts as we worked on government contracts and all expenditure had to be accounted for. 


I use all the relevant computer packages and understand the importance of double-checking the figures. I have always had an eye for detail and an ability to find errors easily, allowing me to be pro-active rather than reactive”

How to Answer the Job Interview Question Do you have any blind spots?
	


	
	

		
If you know about blind spots, then they are not blind.


Employers use a question like this to see if you will tell them any weaknesses-let them work it out for themselves, answer


Example Interview Answer


“Not that I know off, if I ever discover a weakness I quickly do something to improve it”


Next, give an example of developing an area of weakness. When using a ‘blindspot’ example follow these 5 steps:


Step 1 – explain a skill that was required (industry-related and relevant to the new job you are applying for)


Step 2 – discuss how you identified the lacking skill


Step 3 – tell the employer the actions you took to gain the skill. This could be via trail and error, a mentor or a training courses


Step – highlight how you implemented the new skill into business as usual


Step 5 – finally, dicuss how you will use the skill once employed.
