Elementary ‐ The Office ‐ Job Interview III (C0065)
A: Very good. Now, I have a couple of final questions.
B: I hope they’re not too hard!
A: Well, why should we hire you?
B: I think that I would be a perfect fit in this company. I
have a unique combination of strong technical acumen,
and outstanding soft skills; you know, I excel at building
strong, long-term customer relationships. For example,
when I headed the customer support department in my
previous company, our team solved about seventy percent
of our customers’ problems. I decided that we needed
better information and technical preparation on our
products, so after I implemented a series of training
sessions in coordination with our technical department, we
were able to solve ninety percent of our customers’ issues.
Given the opportunity, I could bring this kind of success to
this company.
A: Impressive! So, what would you consider to be your
greatest weakness?
B: To be honest, I struggle with organization and time
management. Punctuality has never been a strength of
mine. I find it hard to organize my time efficiently. I have
actually addressed this weakness recently, by attending a
workshop on efficient time management. It helped me a lot,
by providing me with great insights on how to get
organized and use my time efficiently, so I think I’m
getting better now.
A: Great... Well, let me tell you that I am very pleased
with this interview. We are short-listing our candidates this
week, and next week we will inform our short listed
candidates of the day and time for a second interview with
18
our CEO.
B: Great, thanks a lot! I hope to hear from you! Good bye.
