Let’s look at a different question of this type:
QUESTION: What would your last boss say about you?
ANSWER: I believe she would say I’m innovative, dependable, and professional. An example of my ability to innovate is that I wrote an award-winning software program for training new employees.
This time, the interviewee:
• Selected three top personal traits from his skills arsenal
• Elaborated on one qualitative example of the results of his work.
The same strategy applies for the next question:
QUESTION: What do you think your former coworkers would say about
you?
ANSWER: I think they would say that I’m friendly, efficient, and professional. An example of my friendliness is that I always make it a policy to take a coworker out to lunch sometime during his or her first week of employment. I know how it feels to be new and how much it is appreciated when another employee makes the effort to reach out. It’s important to me to help my coworkers feel comfortable. I’d like to bring the same kind of friendliness to your customers.
Confused? After a few more examples, you’ll get the hang of it:
QUESTION: What accomplishments are you most proud of?
ANSWER: I’m most proud of producing, writing, and directing my own documentary, of winning a citywide triathlon, and of producing a show for CBS television. When I produced a movie-of the-week for CBS, I was able to cut 3 days out of the production schedule, saving the company over $650,000.
