you to prepare for is tell me about
yourself and why you think you'll be a
good fit for IBM so IBM is a fantastic
organization it sets very high standards
so within this first interview question
answer we need to get off to a flying
start now it is imperative you create a
positive solid answer to this first IBM
interview question that talks about the
skills the qualities and the experience
you have that meet the requirements of
the job you are
being interviewed for so here's my
suggested answer to this first question
tell me about yourself
I have studied both the Job Description
and the IBM work culture in detail prior
to applying and I feel strongly I have
the necessary qualities the skills and
the experience to excel here I always
take ownership of situations I work hard
and always to a high standard I can be
relied upon to solve challenging
problems and make the right decisions
that are in the best interests of the
organization and I have a passion for my
work and a drive to succeed for example
in my previous job my manager always
praised me during my annual performance
reviews for my strong work ethic and my
ability to bring a positivity to the
team I understand there comes a lot of
responsibility working for a company
such as IBM and I can assure you I will
make a positive and sustainable impact
if you hire me within this position so
an answer of that caliber gives you the
confidence to move forward with the
remainder of your IBM interview now you
can either pause the video if you want
to and take a note of the questions and
answers as I progress or if you want to
wait I will tell you soon where you can
download my full set of IBM interview
questions and top scoring answers
including the ones we are working
through together today so the next
question I want you to prepare for is
why IBM why'd you want to work for IBM
now in your answer to this guaranteed
IBM interview question talk about the
research you have carried out and what
attracted you to the company so the
things I recommend you research are a
little bit about the company history I
would go onto their website
have a look at their about Us page I
would also go on the LinkedIn IBM
corporate page and have a look a little
bit about their latest news stories I
would have a little bit of knowledge
about their company products and the
services they offer and also have a look
at some customer and client reviews and
also have a look at some reviews that
former employees have left I've carried
out some research for you and the
reviews are extremely positive about IBM
so here's
my suggested answer to help you why IBM
I want to work at IBM because you have a
strong set of values
you clearly have total commitment to not
just your employees but to your
customers and clients too this is an
organization I'll be able to grow thrive
and develop long term in and I will get
to work alongside an immensely talented
group of people who are all passionate
about the future success of the IBM
brand I researched the history of IBM
the customer reviews that are left
online and also feedback from current
and former employees of the company
there hasn't been one thing that put me
off about working for IBM and I see this
as a unique opportunity where I can
really put my skills and qualities to
good use if you hire me in this position
I will not let you down that's another
strong answer and you can see how we are
building confidence as we progress
through the IBM interview with the
questions and the answers that we are
giving now don't go anywhere because I
still have lots more to work through
with you but when you're ready if you
want to click that link in the top right
hand corner it will take you through to
my website pass my interview comm where
you can download my full set of 22 OBM
interview questions and top-scoring
answers including the ones we are going
through together today within these
slides the next question how would you
make sure everyone within your team
completed their tasks to the right
standard and on time now one of the
important competencies needed to work at
this great organization is collaboration
which is essentially teamwork now
although you may not be applying for a
leadership position with IBM you still
need to take responsibility for the
effective functioning of the team you
are a part of so the answer that comes
right now is applicable for those people
who are not applying for leadership
roles and those who are so it's a
generic response that can be used for
this common IBM interview question here
we go there are five things I would do
to make sure everyone worked effectively
within the team I was a part of at IBM
number one it's important to make sure
everyone within the team has the right
training and the right experience to
carry out their
to ask to the necessary standard number
two I would make sure everyone was fully
aware of the project brief number three
I would communicate regularly with all
team members throughout the project to
make sure everyone was supported
everyone was happy in their work and
everyone knew what they needed to do
number four I would keep everyone aware
of the time we had left in which to meet
the project deadline this would be
important because I don't believe it is
acceptable to miss deadlines especially
when working for a company such as IBM
where customer and client expectations
are high finally number five I would
encourage the team to learn from the
project experience so we can see if
there's anything we can do to improve
for next time I like that answer because
you are focusing on a set number of
things and in this case it's five so if
you learn those five different things
you are demonstrating you understand
what is important when working with
other people and don't forget
collaboration skills or team working
skills are vital in all roles within IBM
the next question in your opinion what
are the most important qualities and
traits needed to work for IBM now traits
are essentially competencies and to be
successful at an organization such as
IBM you will need a lot of these now I
have conducted lots of research on your
behalf and here is my suggested answer
that includes the most important traits
I feel you need to work with in this
great organization here we go in my
opinion you need to be a good team
worker and somebody who is able to
collaborate with others to achieve the
commercial objectives of the
organization you must be adaptable and
ready to embrace change positively which
serves to ensure the IBM brand stays at
the forefront of its market you must
always put the clients and the customer
first in everything you do this is
important because without the client or
customer there would be no business you
need strong communication skills both in
writing and when talking to work
colleagues or clients clarity and
communication is vital you must be
prepared to take responsibility for your
actions and be accountable for all
aspects of your work finally in addition
to responding positively to problems you
must have a genuine passion for the IBM
brand if you are passionate
your work you will continue to improve
and the customers and clients will
benefit from this also that is a
brilliant answer that shows you fully
understand the different qualities and
traits needed to excel at IBM the next
question what's your biggest weakness
this is a very tough interview question
to answer and it is one that is highly
likely to appear at some stage during
your IBM interview do not give a
weakness that is a match for the person
specification for the job you have
applied for at IBM
here's my suggested weakness to assist
you what's your biggest weakness my
biggest weakness is the fact I find it
quite hard letting go of projects I tend
to get really engrossed in my work and I
spend too much time seeking perfection
when I need to learn to let the project
girl once it has been completed having
said that one of our main strengths is
my ability to take on board feedback
from others
I said you genuinely want to improve on
that basis if you see an area you want
me to improve upon I will go away and
work on it that's a safe witness and
it's actually in my opinion a pretty
good witness I've worked with people
before who struggled to let things go
because you know they want to get it
absolutely perfect and you have to
encourage them to let the project go
once it gets to a point so I believe
that's a good weakness to have and I
don't think it will do you any harm at
your IBM job interview now the next
thing to do I would recommend you do
