Okay.
Let me now give you brilliant top scoring answers in a live interview to those four
questions, and at the end, I will give you the scripts to write down!
Here we go.
Tell me about yourself.
“First of all, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed for this
position with your company today.
My name is Richard, and before I applied for the role, I studied the job description carefully
to make sure I had the skills, qualities and experience to excel in the position.
I am industrious, a good communicator, I take ownership of challenges and problems, and
I always support my coworkers in the execution of their duties.
I am someone who has a track record of achievement.
For example, in my last role, my manager often praised me for the fact that I would always
deliver excellent customer service, which helped increase sales, and I also helped to
improve online reviews.
My manager also praised me often for the fact that I was willing to carry out duties that
were outside of my job description to help the company when needed.
Outside of work, I keep myself fit, healthy and active, which means when I am at work,
my energy levels and positivity are always high.
Finally, if you hire me, I will be the type of person who will always be a positive role
model for your company, and I will take responsibility for my professional development so I am always
a highly valuable and productive member of your team.”
Richard, tell me, what are your greatest strengths?
“One of my strengths is the fact that I am commercially aware.
This means I understand that in order for your business to succeed, I must do a really
good job on time and to a high standard.
And I must always deliver excellent customer service so that your customers become long
term advocates of the business.
Another really good strength of mine is the fact that I take ownership of challenges and
problems whenever they occur.
Some people might pass on a challenge or a problem to their manager for him or her to
deal with.
I will never do that.
I will try and resolve the problem myself, first of all.
Another really good strength of mine is the fact that I am a frugal worker.
This means I will always take care of company supplies and resources to help you increase
profits.
And finally, another strength of mine is the fact that I take personal responsibility for
my ongoing development.
This means you will always have a productive and valuable member of your team.”
What is your biggest weakness?
“My biggest weakness is the fact that I am not yet very good at public speaking.
I'm not very confident that giving talks or presentations to large groups of people.
However, whilst I don't believe this will hinder my ability to perform to a high standard
in this role, if there are ever any opportunities in the position for me to give talks and presentations
to my team, then I would love to give it a try.”
Okay, Richard, final question.
Why should we hire you?
“You should hire me for several reasons.
The first reason is because I love what I do.
I am passionate about this type of work.
That means everything will be done to a high standard and I will get more work done than
the average person.
You should also hire me because I already have the skills, qualities and qualifications
to match the job description.
I can come into the team and have an immediate and positive impact and I will need minimal
supervision moving forward.
You should also hire me because I am very positive about change.
I understand that for an organization such as yours to be the market leader, you need
to change constantly.
I will support you in that change and I will encourage other people in my team to do the
same.
OK, so let me now give you those answers in scripted format and you can then use them
during your job interview.
So, the first question was, tell me about yourself.
Here is the answer I gave.
“First of all, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed for this
position with your company today.
My name is Richard, and before I applied for the role, I studied the job description carefully
to make sure I had the skills, qualities and experience to excel in the position.

strengths?
The next question I was asked during the interview was, what's your biggest weakness?
