well hello there i'm natalie and i'm
back with another video your career
lifeguard and author of get any job you
want
today we've got a powerful story to tell
and we need to learn how to tell it for
a job interview now that story is tell
me about a time when you disagree with
your boss
specifically when you ask the total
story about the time and you disagree
with your boss
how do you respond do you have a story
ready or if you have to think about it
let's find out what you're going to
learn in this video for basic points to
consider when answering the question
what your complex style is and a deep
dive into one concrete example of
disagreement and just performed one bad
example
so stay tuned
four key points to remember as I always
say this answer should come in the form
of a story with details
that's how people remember you that's
how people get to know you and that's
what captivates people when they speak
to the story should be around 30 to 60
seconds long
not much longer than a minute and a half
or you could just start rambling and not
know when to stop when telling your
story always be respectful of the boss
character in the story use a nice tone
and put him or her in respectful light
when telling the story the real thing
that they want to know is how do you
have a comment
everyone has their own unique way of
handling topic what's yours
we'll get more into this in just a
minute at the end of the day they are
the boss would ultimately the ability
to fire you
in most cases so even though bosses make
mistakes too, the story should reflect
that you respect authority. If you're in
a job where you have a boss
the truth is you need to respect
that person authority even though
sometimes it can be hard and even though
that person is only human and they can
be wrong to a good boss will listen to
your suggestions and if you disagree
with him or her they'll want to know
more and they'll be interested in why
let's talk about you before we go into
any answer and ask yourself how do you
handle complex, you get very stressed out
and confront it head-on with you shy
away from it and try to north and
pretended out there you just go along
with the boss wants even know you
disagree or you push forward until you
can make change happen
what's your ideal weight of solving a
disagreement
now that we've hopefully unpacked a
little bit about you
let's get into a real example your
answer needs to reflect you and your
true beliefs and your true experiences
and personality bringing yourself to the
interview is the only true way you can
find the best fit for you in your career
that said I'm going to give you an
example so that you know what we're
working with here
so example manager or big boss man or
woman what's your plan a big statement
and it's gonna call
a lot of money for the company they want
to do it on a Sunday you know that
people are with their families on sunday
and a lot of people are likely not going
to show up to this event there for you
know that the money will be best spent
and the goals for this event probably
won't be achieved because of the date
but how do you tell your bosses so you
might suggest to move the event to
friday afternoon before saturday you few
ways you can approach this with your
boss
you probably already thought but we
could host even on a friday or saturday
instead you can get you a good reaction
when you put it out there like that
or another way is how do you will see
the event friday and saturday instead
and a third way is I was hoping to
better understand why the event is going
to place on sunday is there a reason we
haven't considered hosting the event on
another day this is a very innocent and
very careful way to approach the
disagreement and finally this is my
favorite way if it applies out my last
company we did this event on Friday and
we found that we have a lot better
attendance that when we did it on a
sunday would you be open to doing it on
a friday the boss may give you a very
good reason as to why they chose sunday
for the event are reasons that maybe you
weren't aware of
perhaps there is no reason it's just a
plain old bad idea
whatever the case you need to voice your
concerns and you need to bring them up
that's what they're looking for when you
want to answer this question they want
to know that you know how to approach
the situation with approaching them with
your concern suggestion in a kind manner
you have done what you need to do if
they still say no then you can have a
little back and forth but don't take it
too far they are the boss I've seen
people stand up to Authority repeatedly
in their careers even in the most high
level positions and they always end up
getting fired
it's that because they are very good at
their job and they didn't want to be
fired if you're someone who's not very
good at approaching a disagreement with
your boss
then perhaps you should be starting your
own business and the answer this
question using the example would sound
like this
tell story of the event until how you
approach the disagreement then tell the
end results then your
right and almost forgot about the bad
example
so the bad examples pretty simple and it
would just simply say I never had a
disagreement with my boss ever
if you are absolutely stumped and you've
got nothing you could say I could tell
you about the time when I disagree with
one of my co-workers with that work
this may be easier for you to find a
concrete story to tell
I understand it's difficult to
reconstruct the story especially if
you're not prepared and there you have
it
good example some back-and-forth some
general guidelines always remember if
you take nothing away from this video
tell a story with specifics and details
that makes you interesting memorable and
relevant now I love to hear from you how
