Describe an interview, or interview question, that you found to be difficult. How did you handle it at the time and, in retrospect, what might you have done differently?
Below is a Sample Solution.
Remember! This is just a sample. You can get a custom paper from one of our expert writers.
I will be answering this question, by citing the most challenging question I have encountered when I was applying as an assistant System Manager on a respective cruise line. The Human resource office asked me this particular question. “What are your weaknesses in terms of handling people and assets?”. The answer that I replied was “I don’t have any particular weakness since I am knowledgable in my field of expertise and I can handle all sorts of people with different personalities.”
As I recall, my answer seems unrealistic and I should have answered more honestly. If I were to answer that question today I would respond with ” My weakness are I easily trust people and tend to rely on them easily which resulted in situations that my personal relationship with them affected our work relationship and work performance. I should have set boundaries and not to be lenient all the time.” However, I want to accept those weaknesses since it can make me a better person.”
If have uttered those words during that interview, I might as well be hired for the position. I hope my experience helped you to answer your question.
