Good information!!!
ive had about 5 city interviews and got none , 1 question they always ask , what do you do with an irrate customer , contractor i f work is not done per code ? my answer was ,not shir ,but i sad i would let the contractor vent for awhile , show him in the approved plans and code book that he is wrong and needs to correct or non compliance will be written , other questions are about the job meeting its schedule ,what do you do if something is not per plan.
When interviewers ask this type of question it is because this is a real issue for their company. As with all questions you have to answer it confidently, never say “not sure” Due to the interview question they want someone with experience of handling this type of situation. An good answer would be “This happen in my previous position. A contractor wasn’t happy that work was behind on schedule (this tells the interviewer that you have real experience of this situation) To successfully solve this issue while keeping the contractor happy (this tells the employer that you can successfully solve this issue), I shown the contractor the plans for the project and how we have saved time on X part of the project, brining the project back on time”
Always answer problems questions with your solutions. The employer needs to know that you can handle this type of situation
