ANSWERS FOR THE JOB INTERVIEW

Good morning, so tell me your name (.....) . Have you got your CV? (...) Thank you. Ok, very well. Tor start with:

"Tell me about yourself"
Well, I love going to the country side, swimming and playing chest; those things help me feel more relaxed . I also work as a volunteer in my free time at Profesores Sin Fronteras NGO. In addition to those interests and passions, my professional life is a huge part of who I am.

"What is your greatest strength? "
 I think I'm a hard-working person, responsible and that takes its work really serious. Also, my work as a private teacher can give me extra point when dealing with children in need  or difficult situations. 

"How do you handle failure? How do you handle stress and pressure?"

I react to situations, rather than to stress. That way, the situation is handled and doesn't become stressful. I actually work better under pressure and I've found that I enjoy working in a challenging environment.

Would you rather be liked or respected?

On the job, I thing it should be a mixture of them. I find that children are happier to go to class if they see their teacher as a confident, as a person who are there for them so a teacher should be liked by his/her children. On the other hand there should be some respect as the figure of the teacher should not be taken as a friend, but as a mentor

"Describe your work style"

I consider myself as a competitive person, so everthing I do has to be perfect, that's why I try my best to achieve what is demanded from me .

"How are you different from the competition?"

I can offer creativity, hard work, perseverance, implication with the job and responsibility. I'm very good at languages, I'm very responsable and I always try to do the right thing.

"What strength will help you the most to succeed?"

I would say that the answer is perseverance. Everything can be achieved with perseverance, hard work and really interest in what you are doing.

"What did you like or dislike about your previous job? "

Before applying for this job I worked in an enterprise, in an office. I really liked the work environment there, everybody was concentrated doing their jobs so it made me be more focused in my labour . On the other hand, what I had to do was very monotonous, so I would like more creativity in my life.

"Describe your ideal boss"

I consider that an ideal boss should be responsible, perseverant, a person who makes you feel confident, who estimulates you; a person who could keep his/her problems away from you, a person able to deal with difficult situations or stress with cool head, and also someone that is kind to its subordinates.

"Why were you fired?"

I were fired because the enterprise was having economic problems, so they needed to make cuts. I was just a prospect, so I was prescindible then, which doesn't mean that I am not good in my job.

 "What will you do if you don't get this position?"

Actually I really wanted to work here so if I don't get this position I would be very disappointed, but there's a lucky factor here , so I think I would try my best again for the next interview. 

Thank you, that's all. We'll call you back when we make our choice
