201 Knockout Answers to Tough Interview Questions: The Ultimate Guide to Handling the New Competency-Based Interview Style
Autor Linda Matiasen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 2009
Employers today are using increasingly tough interview questions to evaluate candidates based on key competencies and determine how well they think on their feet. To stand out in these competency-based interviews, job seekers must be prepared with situation-specific examples and answers to questions that highlight their accomplishments, knowledge, and abilities--and clearly display how all three meet their potential employers’ needs.
In 201 Knockout Answers to Tough Interview Questions, you’ll learn the five core competencies most interviewers are looking for:
- individual responsibility (decisiveness, independence, flexibility, career goals);
- managerial skills (leadership, delegation, strategic planning);
- motivational factors (ambition, initiative);
- analytical skills (problem solving, attention to detail);
- and people skills (teamwork, communication, customer service)
