How to deal with tricky questions A NYONE can become a competent interview robot. All you need do is hop online and revise dozens of classic
questions and model answers.Armed with knowledge, you
learn to say that you left your last job because you wanted more challenges. You know that, if asked to reveal your biggest fl aw, the safe answer is that you overwork – the cost of total commitment.Suppose, though, that the
interviewer has more guile than average or is just plain devious, cruel – even strange.How do you handle a question that comes from left
fi eld, never occurred to you and is absent from the cheat sheets? Try these tips.1. What key performance
indicators are you account-able for?
This brutally factual question stems from the hirer’s desire to know that you understand measurement and can achieve targets, says the general manager at Frontline Recruitment Group’s Doug Downer. Write them down before attending the interview
so you can easily pinpoint and talk about the KPIs for each role you’ve held.2. Why are you worth the
salary?You must substantiate the
value you will bring to the role and the company, Downer says. If you have boosted
profi tability or sales, that proves your value. Likewise, if you have slashed costs or achieved notable outcomes in projects or roles, that demonstrates worth. Play up your successes – be bold in response to this question.3. Aren’t you overqualifi ed?Concerned about commitment, here the interviewer wants to know whether you will keep scouring the job market and
quit when the right role or salary materialises. So, talk about long-term aspirations, express a desire to be with the business well into the future. Also, if applicable, point out that the business is
growing and so needs able, well-qualifi ed candidates like you. State that your experience and skills will yield an instant return.
4. Tell me about someone you worked for and didn’t respect.When addressing this loaded
question, beware of falling into the trap of passing personal judgement, says recruitment
analyst Ross Clennett. “The interviewer is trying to see whether you complain about others or dump on them,” Clennett adds. Focus on how
you delivered the outcomes for which you were responsible. Keep the answer about you – not a rival. mycareer.com.au
