00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:03.109
The interviewer wants to know 
about your successes in time 

00:00:03.110 --> 00:00:04.093
management. 

00:00:04.593 --> 00:00:08.517
Be honest. Interviewers can 
and will check your background 

00:00:08.518 --> 00:00:09.651
thoroughly. 

00:00:10.151 --> 00:00:12.684
Try to find something from 
a long time ago. 

00:00:13.184 --> 00:00:16.555
Everyone has something to
improve upon. Find something

00:00:16.556 --> 00:00:20.222
minor, and then tell what you
did or are doing to correct it.

00:00:20.755 --> 00:00:23.933
When you mention the minus,
try to turn it into a plus --

00:00:23.934 --> 00:00:27.892
or at least talk about a minus
you had in the past and how it

00:00:27.893 --> 00:00:29.314
is corrected now.

00:00:29.814 --> 00:00:33.387
All companies evaluate their
employees, some with more

00:00:33.388 --> 00:00:35.279
formal procedures than others.

00:00:35.779 --> 00:00:39.636
All companies evaluate their
employees, some with more formal

00:00:39.637 --> 00:00:43.838
procedures than others. If your
evaluations were less than

00:00:43.839 --> 00:00:47.610
stellar, tell the interviewer
what you did to improve once

00:00:47.611 --> 00:00:49.280
you learned of
your shortcomings.

00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:53.018
The interviewer may be looking
to see if you accept your own

00:00:53.019 --> 00:00:57.298
shortcomings, or if you lay
blame on others. If you do not

00:00:57.299 --> 00:01:00.525
have three disappointments,
mention one, and wait to see

00:01:00.526 --> 00:01:02.915
if the interviewer will
ask you for more.

00:01:03.415 --> 00:01:06.935
Try to find out what type of
tasks are required for the job

00:01:06.936 --> 00:01:10.113
for which you're interviewing.
It's not a good idea to mention

00:01:10.114 --> 00:01:12.795
that you do not like "picky
little details" when you're

00:01:12.796 --> 00:01:15.878
looking for a job that requires
you to balance a cash drawer

00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:17.251
at the end of each day.

00:01:17.751 --> 00:01:21.078
This question offers you the
opportunity to really shine.

00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:25.187
Develop an answer to it before
you go into any interview.
