very much indeed! The first question I want you to prepare for is: Tell me about yourself
and why you want to be an Assessor? Now, it's important you are confident, positive, and
persuasive in your answer to this first question. We want to tell the interviewer how the skills,
the qualities and the experience you have built up over the years are a perfect match
for the role. Here's my suggested answer to assist you. Here we go. “I am somebody who
has exceptionally high standards, the ability to handle a large workload and the desire
to carry out my work to the required standard whilst sticking to set rules and procedures.
Over the years I have built up extensive experience as an assessor and the communication and interpersonal
skills I have developed will ensure I not only get up and running in the position quickly,
but that I will fast become a reliable, trustworthy and high-performing assessor for your company.
I have studied the job description and the person specification for this role in detail
and I am entirely confident I have the necessary skills, qualities, experience and attributes
to deliver within the position whilst helping you to achieve your long-term commercial objectives.”
That is a very strong answer that then sets you up with confidence for the rest of your
interview. You can either pause the video if you want to and take a note of the questions
and answers as we work through them together, or if you want to wait, I will soon tell you

Why do you want to work for our company as an Assessor? In your response to this common
Assessor job interview question, focus on the following three areas. Number one, the
level of research you have conducted. Number two, what specifically attracts you to their
company or organization. And number three, how you plan to stay working for them for
a long period of time. Here's my suggested answer. Why do you want to work for us? “I
researched your company in detail before applying for this position as I genuinely believe you
can only carry out your duties as an Assessor if your employer has high standards, they
support you in your role and they have a passion for continuous improvement and development.
I have studied your website, your history, the achievements you have gained since you
started and your latest news stories. You have an impressive track record and I believe
this is somewhere I can quickly become an integral part of the team. Finally, I have
chosen you because I am at a stage in my career where I want to be with the same company for
a long period of time. You are an attractive company to work for and I believe the skills,
qualities and experience I have as an Assessor will be an asset to your long-term commercial
goals and objectives.” So, that's another really strong answer to help you pass your

including the ones we are covering today. But here's the next question. What are the
most important skills and qualities needed to be an Assessor? So, this interview question
is assessing whether you have read the job description and your understanding of the
most important skills and qualities needed to perform your duties to a high standard.
Here is another excellent answer to help you. “In my experience there are numerous important
skills and qualities needed to be a competent and effective Assessor. These include, a STRONG
CHARACTER, CONFIDENCE in your abilities, PERSONAL INTEGRITY and IMPARTIALITY. You must demonstrate
LEADERSHIP qualities, BE CONSISTENT in your assessing duties, KEEP ACCURATE RECORDS and
always operate with a SENSE OF FAIRNESS. You also need PLANNING CAPABILITIES, be very well
ORGANIZED and be prepared to MANAGE A LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK whilst STICKING TO STRICT TIMESCALES
AND DEADLINES. Finally, you must demonstrate and maintain HIGH STANDARDS and take responsibility
for your own PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT and keep your KNOWLEDGE UP TO DATE in line with
industry developments.” And that answer shows that you fully understand and appreciate
the different skills and qualities needed to be an outstanding assessor. The next question:
How would you demonstrate impartiality as an Assessor? So, as you know, impartiality
is vital whilst conducting your duties as an Assessor. Impartiality is based on the
principles of fairness, consistency and objectivity. Here's another great answer to help you. “I
would always assess every situation with fairness and be consistent in my actions. I would follow
protocol and guidelines, remove any bias and treat everyone fairly. I would maintain accurate
records that would be available for scrutiny at any time, and I would communicate with
clarity, conciseness and value others’ feedback and opinions. My assessing work and decisions
would always be evidence-based. By this, I mean I will always be able to justify the
decisions I make and the outcomes I reach following every assessment. Finally, if I
ever felt that impartiality or high standards could not be maintained, or if there ever
were a conflict of intertest, I would raise this with the senior assessor or the senior
management team.” That's another really good answer! The next question guaranteed
to come up: What are your strengths and weaknesses? Now, as I just said, this is a guaranteed
interview question to feature during your assessor interview. My advice is to provide
five core strengths, one weakness and an explanation as to how you are working to improve your
weak area. 3Here's my suggested answer. “My strengths include my confidence, my consistent
high standards, my ability to undertake lots of work within strict deadlines, my excellent
written and verbal communication skills and my high levels of competence. In respect of
my weakness, I would have to say this is the fact I have trouble asking other people for
help. I prefer to figure things out for myself, when in fact I really should become more open
to asking others who have more experience or knowledge in a particular area how to do
something. Having said that, I am somebody who is thick-skinned, and I will always take
onboard feedback with a positive attitude. This means, if you need to me improve in a
particular area, I will take onboard your advice and seek to improve.” That's really
strong! A great answer to that common assessor interview question: What are your strengths
and weaknesses? So, the next thing to do is please do CLICK THAT LINK in the top right-hand
