yourself and the experience you have that will make you a great Vice President? Now,
it is essential you talk about the SKILLS AND QUALITIES you have that will enable you
to quickly become a competent and highly effective Vice President. Here's a strong answer to
help you succeed. “I have extensive experience within difficult and challenging management
situations where strong leadership and direction has been needed. Over the years I have worked
in many different organizations with a diverse base of people. For example, one of my greatest
achievements in a previous senior role included turning an underperforming, unprofitable organization
into one that was high performing, profitable and a leader within its sector all within
eighteen months. I have a proven track record for achieving consistent results that are
strategically aligned to an organizations financial and commercial objective. I enjoy
motivating teams of people; I am a solid decision maker; I possess excellent communication skills
and I will focus all of my efforts in making sure your organization not only meets the
goals you set, but it achieves them with high standards, passion and a hunger for delivering
outstanding products and services for your customers. The job description for this role
is a perfect fit for my skills, my qualities and my experience and I feel strongly you
will see positive results early on if you hire me as your Vice President.” That is
a very strong answer! The reason why it is strong is, number one, it is in-depth. I believe
you should give in-depth answers to all of the questions at your Vice President interview.
Number two, it talks about the skills and the qualities you have that will enable you
to excel in the position. And number three, you are giving a brief, specific example of
where you have achieved something of success in a previous role, and that's important.

Why do you want to work for our organization as Vice President? I am a strong believer
you can only be effective as a Vice President if the organization you are working for is
forward thinking, it is supportive, and it wants to lead within its sector. Here's another
great answer to help you. “Although the position of Vice President is not advertised
that often, it is still very important to consider carefully the organization you are
applying to work for. I believe you can only achieve your goals as a Vice President if
the organization has ambitious plans, it is willing to support and embrace change positively,
and it is also prepared make difficult decisions when they are in the best interests of its
long-term goals. I conducted extensive research into your organization before applying and
your strong history, your concise and inspirational mission statement and the talented teams of
people you employ, gave me the confidence that this is a place I will be able to achieve
sustainable and profitable results that I feel you will be hugely impressed with.”

is a very common Vice President interview question. At the end of the day, the interview
panel want to be sure you can ADD VALUE to their business and that you are able to meet
their financial and commercial objectives. Here's my suggested answer. “I can add many
years’ experience in leadership and management, a genuine passion for my work and a belief
that we can all achieve our goals in the company if we work together, we work hard, and we
are willing to put the customer first in everything we do. I will also bring a long-term vision
that ensures the future of the company is not only bright, but financially successful,
too. I can bring inspirational leadership and an ability to motivate and inspire the
toughest of teams and finally, I can bring extensive knowledge of this sector and what
we need to do in order to improve, increase our market share and increase profitability.”
That's another great answer that shows that you are TOTALLY FOCUSED on achieving their
commercial and financial objectives. The next question: What are your values? Working to
a set of values is vital if large organizations or corporations are to succeed. The values
must be embedded within the culture of the organization. Here's another solid answer
to help you. What are your values? “There are six core values I always work towards.
These include a FOCUS ON THE CUSTOMER and the future success of the organization. If
you get everything right for the customer or the client, everything else will fall into
place. I always COMMUNICATE CONCISELY AND CLEARLY and MAKE DECISIONS that have the future
success of the organization at the heart of everything I do. I CREATE A TRANSPARENT SHARED
VISION that I insist everyone within the organization buys in to and believes. Without a vision,
you have no purpose. Another core value is NURTURING, ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTING diverse
talent. The organization will only thrive if we look after our staff and we identify
those people who are hungry for development. Finally, a very important value of mine is
to CONNECT WITH PEOPLE through inspirational and responsible leadership and management.”
That’s a brilliant answer, which shows that you have a CORE SET OF VALUES that you will
ensure get embedded within the organization. The next question: If we were to hire you,
what can we expect to see in 12 months from now? This is a difficult question. Now, this
Vice President interview question assesses whether you have a PLAN in place of what you're
going to achieve within the position. Here's my answer. “You can expect to see five things.
A TOTALLY FOCUSED AND FULLY FUNCTIONING ORGANIZATION that has a shared strategic vision. With everyone
in the organization clear on where we are going and how we intend to get there, we will
be successful. You will see HIGH STANDARDS and a culture that insists only the best will
do. You will see ALL OF THE TARGETS AND OBJECTIVES you set for me achieved. You will see IMPROVED
OPERATIONS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE and the understanding that the customer or client must always come
first in everything we do. Finally, you will see EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS. This means
making sure the organization is lean, it is profitable, and our commercial operations
are responsible and effectual.” A very strong answer indeed! So, the next thing to do is
