FAQ - Online Interview
What are your strengths?
I consider myself to be a very strong willed person with the ability
to find a solution to any problem I am presented with in life. I think I
am a very systematic person who will not act without first coming to an
informed decision. I enjoy working in teams that are energetic, unified,
and proactive.
What are your weaknesses?
Honestly, before college, I was a somewhat of a procrastinator and
quite unorganized. I quickly learned that if I was to be competitive
after college, I needed to work on these weaknesses. Balancing a college
workload, a full-time job, my personal and social life has taught me to
balance my workload and prepare in advance for upcoming deadlines. I have
learned that I enjoy the sense of accomplishment from getting a job done early
and knowing that the quality of my work is better than a last-minute
attempt. College has also taught me that being organized has a great
impact on success. I have developed an organization system for myself
that seems to have had a positive effect on my college career.
What have you done to overcome major obstacles in your life?
I feel the best way to overcome an obstacle is to take the time to
fully understand the problem and then devise a clear solution. For
me, it is best to fully understand not only the problem, but also the root
causes of a problem. This allows people to target solutions that will
directly deal with the problem instead of dealing with the effects that can
sometimes "mask" the true problem.
How do you define success?
I define success as consistently meeting or exceeding goals.
This can apply to a single person or an organization. I believe that a
company can be successful by employing the most talented and dedicated
workers.
Describe your ideal job...
I would like to work with a company that acknowledges employee
accomplishments and helps to develop a work environment to stimulate teamwork
and success. With the growing power of IT, it would be nice to work at
home, but I would not at all mind working in an office. I would like a
job where I can specialize in a skill or group of skills to help build my
career. I believe myself to be a team player, which is why I prefer to
work in a group with similar feelings. I find it is extremely hard to
manage or be part of a team that does not care about their task or team.
