Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Communication Skills: think about situations where listening carefully and asking questions helped you solve a problem. What did you do? What was the outcome? 2. Team Orientation: think about a circumstance in which someone was not motivated to fully contribute in organising an event, a party, a university task or a piece of work. How did you ensure they could get fully onboard with your plans? 3. Relationship Building: think about situations where you were unfamiliar with someone or a group of people, either in a social event or at university/work. How did you get them on your side, developed a relationship or build trust? 4. Passion: think about a circumstance where a plan you had made didn’t go as expected. Why did this happen? What did you do to correct the situation? 5. Positivity: think about a circumstance in which, despite drawbacks or obstacles, you managed to remain positive and overcome the difficulties. It could be anything from a university/work project that didn’t go as expected, to an event you organised in the past. 6. Proactivity: think about a situation where an event, a celebration or a piece of work you cared about required you to change your usual approach to ensure it could be a great success. What conditions made you step away from the methods you were familiar with? What did you struggle with the most in your new ways, and how did you succeed?
