Ultimate Guide To Job Interview Answers!

What was your role in your department's most recent success?
DISCUSSION: You'll want to be very specific here, and frame your answer in terms of how you saved time and money.

The Hiring Manager is looking for a pattern of success, and you need to describe recent successes in detail.

Use the S.T.A.R. Statement formula for your examples. Be prepared with at least three examples concerning your recent successes, and make sure at least one of them relates to teamwork and something you accomplished as part of a group.

Make sure you address how your work made other people FEEL, as well as the time you saved and the revenue or cost-savings you generated.

"I guess that would be a recent project for client "X." I handled all of the communication with the client for our last project.

It was a three month long project where my team had to build a custom package based on the needs of client.

I was instrumental in translating the client's business needs into detailed product features. I had to make sure that my team understood what the client wanted, and then check the quality to make sure that we were delivering a quality product with the features that the client was expecting.

This was an ongoing process that required a lot of communication and teamwork with my team as well as the client.

I think my role really was to clarify the scope of the project, and then "manage the client's expectations." We were able to deliver on time, and the client was thrilled!

I was able to make sure no time was wasted on adding unnecessary features, and since we were working on a fixed bid price, we saved my company time and money. My manager and everybody on my team felt great because the project went so smoothly. Is that the kind of experience that would help me be successful here?"
