CHALLENGE:
- What would you do if you had to collaborate with a coworker that is difficult to work with?
Along our working life, we eventually meet people who are difficult to work with, however it is the challenge of improving in a working relationship; the first activity we might do is to take the chance at doing a short talk and try to understand what is the position of the co-worker and set some agreements.
- What would you do if you made a big mistake and no one noticed? Would you address the mistake even if it will slow down things or would you ignore it and not tell anyone?
One of my principal values is been complete honest. Firstable, I would talk with my manager about the big mistake which no one noticed and I’ll show him some possible solution to the addresses’ problem.
- What would you do if you were asked to complete a task that you had never done before?
In my last role as a commercial coordinator, my manager asked me to build and launch a digital ad campaign, which was something I’d never done before. I explained to my manager that I had no experience leading that type of project, but I express my willing to do it if a more experienced person offered me a guidance. I met with several employees who had run digital ads, so I studied some best practices and successfully launched the campaign.
- If you knew that your boss was completely wrong about something, what would you do?
The first rule is very important that you never put down a team member or a leader in front of a group. If I’m really secure that my boss is wrong, I would plan a meeting with him/her to talk about the issue; I would enjoy bouncing ideas off each other and seeing what works.
- What would you do if you were a manager and one of your team members was not reaching goals and expectations?
Actually, this situation happened to me… I wasn’t reaching my goals and my boss planned a meeting in which we talked about my goals. During the meeting she asked me why is the reason I wasn’t reaching my goals. I told her what it was my principal issue. (at that time I was a senior buyer, I was in charge of the help desk, also I was lead auditor of ISO 9001 implementation, I also was the manager of the company’s cooperative); In fact, she understood my work load, later, we both analyzed goal by goal and looked for providing support to reach my goals. At the end of the year I reached my goals.
