<description><![CDATA[This is a question that typically addresses how well you listen to your supervisor, how you interpret their criticism, and how objective you can be.  It is very admirable to find someone who is aware of his/her weaknesses and is able to speak about them.  In this case, be honest but be able to share areas where your supervisor praised you as well as areas of focus. <br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This question can really throw a person off as no one wants to talk about their shortcomings in an interview.  The best way to answer this question is to be honest.  Think about a situation where you made a mistake and explain why the mistake was made, what you learned from it, how you were able to prevent the mistake from happening in the future. By explaining how it happened, why it happened, and what you learned from it happening, will show that you are able to handle adversity, process it, and be proactive to change it.  <br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I ask this question to get a sense for how the candidate spent their time in college, but also to see how they view adversity and challenges.  In these situations, it is best to be honest, but also be able to show how,although you wish you could go back in time, that decision or situation has helped you in the long run.  Maybe you learned a valuable lesson or you learned something about yourself. This shows that you can grow from adversity and that you are able to maintain a positive attitude. par<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As a recruiter, it is important that you the candidate shows a level of sincerity in wanting the position they are interviewing for.  A key indicator to the recruiters that you are not serious about the position is if you haven't taken the time do basic research about the company.  You should be able to speak to the products or services they provide, speak to the company's vision/mission statement, and how what you've found from your research relates to why you.  Showing a genuine interest in a company makes the recruiter want to give you a shot. <br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When interviewing for a Sales position, it is already a given that you are a "people person' and 'enjoy working with people'.  Try to think of the real reason why you want to be in Sales.  Be honest, for most people, it is because of the money.  It is simple, the harder you work, the more money you have to make potentially.  That shows a competitive and entrepreneurial spirit that is one of the foundations of Sales.  <br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>
