Weaknesses








What negative thing would you say about yourself?





I have been paying close attention to my academic level and have decided to further my education.








I have also been paying attention to the sort of work that interest’s me and have decided which area’s I want to pursue.





What can you do for us that other candidates can't?





Enthusiasm – I have always had the desire to work hard. Working long hours doesn’t bother me. I like to prioritise my workload. I have enjoyed all of the jobs in have done in the past. I like to choose my own routine of work. I like doing challenging tasks





Such as:-





Serving customers


Answering the telephone


Deliveries %26amp; Collections


Making entries into the inventory


Balancing the books





Potential I have done this sort of work before and I am confident I can do an excellent job. I am prepared to set up the shop, for when new deliveries are on the way. I like to sell things efficiently, so that productivity is kept to a high standard. I like to give customers an insight to what the company is selling, this keeps up customer satisfaction, which means they will return on regular basis. I am comfortable with keeping regular contact with customers. I always make sure I greet the customers politely and treat them fairly. When dealing with a customer, I will endeavour to see to it, that they receive quality service.





Commitment I like to keep all of my customers happy and like to show respect to my employers by paying attention to detail.





Professionalism I am always polite to my customers and I always respond to their needs in a quick manner.





Experience I have recently worked in a charity shop, which is an advantage, because I know how a shop should be prepared. I know how products should be displayed and I know how to provide excellent customer service.





Attendance I like to be independent and always turn up at work on time. I will always notify my employers, when I have prior appointments.





What Is a Weakness of Yours?








I can be a passionate person and I endeavour to do a good job. I sometimes feel the need to push myself the extra mile and do far more than I should.














What Do You Think of Your Last Boss?





I thought my last boss was great. My last boss was a person who I hold in high regard. She taught me how to be wise, the meaning of showing others respect. She taught me how to deal with change and how to prioritise my workload.





Tell Me About Yourself?





I have strong organisational skills and I like a prioritised work pattern. I approach my work with enthusiastic attitude and I am prepared to put in the extra 150%. I like to pay attention to my work and communicate to others, how I want to do things. I work well with others. Doing things this way helps me form great working relationships and shows other people that I respect their wishes.





Tell me about a project you worked on that required heavy analytical thinking?








For the RSPCA, me and my supervisor where given a challenge of making £2000 in one week. We had analyse the situation, then we decided what we where going to do and then, take action. This is the result.








Analysis: We thought about the best solutions of making a profit for the company. We both had good Ideas.





Decision: What we decided to do in the end was. First we started a half price sale in both shops, which lasted a full week. Then we endeavoured to make flyers for both shops, to attract attention. Then we delivered the flyers to all of the shops in town. Having two shops to work in, made the difference, because we could sell the furniture and clothes in one shop and sell the clothes and bric a brac in the other. What made the task in hand much more achievable was the pricing system we used for the furniture. We decide to price to sofa’s, wall unit’s, futons, cabinets, welsh dressers, wardrobes etc @£60 or above. With the clothes, we priced those @£2 for evening wear, shoe. The leather jackets, were priced @£6, the trouser, skirts, tops, sweaters and blouses @£1. We had a lot of stock in that week, so we complete the task, with no trouble at all.





Result. Doing this task brought me and my supervisor closer. We gained a few extra customers as well and people where coming to use, to find out about the company.





Weaknesses?





I generally don’t fail.


I have identified the fact that I need more qualifications, so I have that, as well as finding a job. I am going to enrol on a few courses this year








Why did you leave your last job?"





I had a really good working relationship with all of my staff members, but there where there were a lot of new changes going on and my supervisor, decided it was time to part company. We had a new supervisor, who wanted to cut staff numbers. I was looking for a change myself and feel it’s time to face new challenges.











What do you enjoy doing outside of work?





For my previous job, I liked doing the deliveries. So I am hoping for opportunity of helping to display products in the shop.





What are your strengths?





I like the challenge of a demanding job. I like to be given a heavy workload. I am a flexible person. My previous job proves that I am capable of doing a job that is rewarding. I can multitask. In previous job I had to sometimes do several jobs at once. I had to do things like:-





Clean the furniture and then vacuum the shop, at the same time.


When we dealt with customers over the counter, we had a policy of dealing with the customer and then doing your previous duty.


When customers wanted to know dates of events, like the yearly dog show, they would expect you to look at the calendar and serve them, at the same time.


There are other strengths I have, for example. I can serve customers and watch the shop, at the same time.

What level of performance do you expect from me?


What training do you provide?


When will you decide on the appointment?

Is this good interview preparation, it's incomplete and need's work on it.?
I think that is an excellent preparation, but you should also work on your mannerisms, like your posture, tone of voice, and dont forget to smile!
Reply:I haven't read everything, but it seems like you have done well at considering what they might ask you and how you would respond.





Just be careful that you are really answering the question. Think about what the interviewer is looking for and answer with them in mind, not just because you have a great example of something and you want to share it. Interviewers are trained to draw out what they need from the candidate so focus on answering each question as it comes. If you over-prepare you might find that a question comes you didn't expect and you have no response to. Try to relax about it more, focus on learning about the company you are going to and how you would fit in to its culture and environment.





Remember the interviewer wants to find out about you, not your prepared version of yourself. This is a two-way thing, you have to like them as much as they have to like you. So go in with that in mind, be relaxed, confident, give yourself time to think and be honest. You'll do fine.
Reply:I got tired about halfway through tbh, but something that struck me at the beginning... In 5 years time all you want is to have gained experience and develop your skills? In 5 years? You will do that in 6 months and then have nothing to aspire to!





How about:


Hoping to have progressed well in the company and earnt the respect and admiration of colleagues and superiors through your committed and hard working ethics. Hoping to have expanded your role to take on more responsibility as you learned more about the company. Wanting to be in a higher position than the one you are applying for, or be in a position to do this, as you want to continually improve yourself and something would be quite wrong if in 5 years time you had not got enough experience in the compnay or expanded your skills and abilities enough to be able to progress onwards and upwards.





They will be looking for someone with ambition and drive in regard to this question, give an answer that shows you have it!!
Reply:Couldn't be bothered to read it all. But you seem to have the right attitude. THE JOBS YOURS. 6 weeks trial.
Reply:Good luck!
