Question 47 What’s the most difficult part of being a (job title)?
TRAPS: Unless you phrase your answer
properly, your interviewer may conclude that whatever you identify as “difficult”
is where you are weak.
BEST ANSWER: First, redefine “difficult”
to be “challenging” which is more positive. Then, identify
an area everyone in your profession considers challenging and in which you
excel. Describe the process you follow that enables you to get splendid
results…and be specific about those results.
Example: “I think every sales manager finds it challenging
to motivate the troops in a recession. But that’s probably the strongest
test of a top sales manager. I feel this is one area where I excel.”
“When I see the first sign that sales may slip or that sales force motivation is flagging because of a downturn in the economy, here’s the plan I put into action immediately…” (followed by a description of each step in the process…and most importantly, the exceptional results you’ve achieved.).
