this content and the sample unique
answers please give the video a thumbs
up I would very very much appreciate
that so before I give you the sample
questions and answers quickly what is
the purpose of a second interview what
are the reasons why you would go a lot
well the good news is you are being
seriously considered for the position
based on your performance and success in
the first interview now you may have had
a face to face interview or you may have
had a telephone interview for the first
one so the good news is you are being
seriously considered so you need to sell
yourself and I'll tell you exactly how
to do that in a second so two really
important tips for passing your second
interview what are they well the first
tip is read the job advert or the job
description and continually refer to it
in your answers now when you applied for
the job there will have been an adverb
but they should have even been a job
description or a person specification
and within that it will tell you the key
requirements for the role that you are
applying for now you will notice in the
questions that I'm about to give you and
the answers that I keep referring to
that document keeps saying I've read the
Job Description and I and I have the
skills and qualities required to do the
role competently that's really important
most people who go for the second
interview won't say that
and the second important tip is you
should sell yourself at the second
interview and also back up your claims
so if you say like one of the
requirements in the Job Description is
to be really good with customers you
should be customer focused then say for
example in a previous job I was required
to deal with customers face to face and
on the phone every single day and I knew
how important the customers were to the
success of the business
so that's backing up your claims and
this is a really good statement to say
in your second interview and you might
want to pause the video and write this
down but this is a good thing to say I
know how important my performance in
this role is to the success of your
business that's a great thing to say
I'll repeat that I know how important my
performance in this role is to the
success of your business because if you
think about it the people who are
interviewing you are responsible for the
success of the business and they need
people like you the employees to do that
job for them so you are basically
showing at a higher level of awareness
you know how important your role is okay
now let's get straight into these second
interview questions and sample answers
first question tell me again why we
should give you the job and not somebody
else okay so tell me again why we should
give you the job and not someone else so
here is my sample response first and
foremost my resumes a match for the role
I understand you need someone who is
customer focused they can work hard
under pressure they can meet strict
deadlines and also work closely with
other team members and departments to
achieve the company objectives I also
have three really strong attributes that
I feel are going to help these are an
ability to learn quickly which means I
can hit the ground running you won't
need to waste your invaluable time
monitoring my performance because I am
reliable and trustworthy and finally I
am someone who has a track record for
achieving results my job is important to
me and it is also important to my family
stability which means I'm gonna work
very hard for you and I am going to
deliver results so that's a really
strong response by the way I'm gonna
tell you where you can get get a copy of
these to save you write them down pretty
soon okay so that's the first question
question number two if you are
successful what is the first thing you
will do in this role to make an impact
so if you are successful what is the
first thing you will do in the road to
make an impact here's my sample answer
if I'm successful I already plan to do
three specific things these are firstly
I will gather as much information as
possible about the role and the
requirements and then study these in my
own time the first day I start working
for you I want to already have a good
understanding of the role and what you
need me to do secondly I will get to
know my team and your products and
services as soon as possible and thirdly
I will set to work on my first important
task or project and then deliver it to
the highest standards possible basically
to show you what I can do and to also
repay your trust in my abilities so
you'll see there in my response and
focusing on three things and that's
going to be easier for you to remember
so you'll notice in a lot of my
responses I'll talk about well I have
seven key qualities and these three
things that I'm going to do in the role
and then you can refer to them and it
helps them assess you easier because
they think are you gonna do three main
things and the majority of candidates
will not say anything like that I can
assure you okay next question
what applicable experience do you have
that will suit this role so what
applicable experience do you have that
will suit this Rock here we go I've lots
of experience that matches in role
requirements I have worked with
customers and clients for many years now
both customer and client facing and also
remotely via email communication and
telephone the experiences with customers
I have means I understand how important
they are to your business I can be
trusted to look after them for you
secondly I have lots of experience being
able to find solutions to problems
because I'm a good problem solver you
can trust me to sort out any team issues
or problems before you get to find out
about them I'm also a very strong
communicator and I think carefully about
what I say and what I write because I'll
be representing your company and brand
through my communication style it's
important not to get it right now
finally my previous work experience
means I will work hard and diligently
under pressure to get the job done I
feel strongly that my skills and
experience are a great match for this
role sets another solid answer now that
is quite in-depth you might decide just
to pick out a couple of bits from it if
you want to like I say I'll tell you
where you can get a copy of these pretty
soon
okay next question what is it about this
job that you're particularly attracted
to so what is it about the job that
you're attracted to so what they're
trying to do here is filter out those
people who are just trying to get a job
because there are lots of people out
there who just want to get a job they're
not really bothered who they work for so
your response is going to be smart and
intelligent here we go apart from having
the necessary skills to perform the role
to a very high standard I'm actually
more attracted to your organization
while studying for both the first and
second interviews I found out a lot
about your company your innovative
approach to business and also your
values and customer service success
rates there's a lot of positivity around
your organization online and I feel I
want to be part of an organization that
is clearly going places so what you're
doing there is you're saying yeah you
are attracted to the job but you're more
attracted to their organization so that
is flattering to them so make sure you
go online and have a look about the
company and you might decide to quickly
talk about a success story that they
have on their website because that is
more attractive to an interview panel
than just saying well I like this job
because my skills match you know that's
okay but you are talking about a success
of their organization which is important
okay next question here's a really good
one so we have invited seven people for
a second interview what makes you stand
out from the others so we have invited
seven people for a second interview what
makes you stand out from the others so
that's quite a tricky question because
you want to stand out in your response
you don't just want to say well you know
I'm loyal I'm hard-working I'm trusty
you won't have something that short
sharp and punchy and this is I can do
the work you'd need me to do and I can
deliver exceptional results I will fit
in seamlessly and be a great addition to
your team I have a combination of job
description matching skills and
experiences that make me stand out and I
believe hiring me will not only make you
look smart but it will also make your
life easier - I don't need micromanaging
or continually supervising and I can hit
the ground running get in as a brilliant
response to that interview question and
that will make you stand out that's a
really really strong response the
you can use okay a couple more second
interview questions and I'll tell you
where you can get the answers to all of
these and and download a copy of these
slides what are the most important
skills the five most important skills
and attributes required to perform the
job so that is assessing your
understanding of the job description so
like I say make sure you read it how
does this job fit in with your future
career plans so my advice is if they say
where'd you see yourself in five years
time you still want to be working for
them you want to be competent in the
role you want to have been accepted by
your teammates and you want to be
progressing and also this is a good
thing is you are prepared to help train
up any future employees who are going in
a similar role because that's
demonstrates you're a great team worker
what the five most important skills and
attributes I've just mentioned that what
are your strengths and how would you use
them in the role what's your biggest
weakness I'll tell you how to answer
that all we're together in a second and
what is your greatest career achievement
to date okay so to get more if you would
