Archive for the tag 'job interview'

In the ideal world you will love your job and the people you work with. However, it that was the case it’s unlikely you’d look for a position elsewhere. The reality is that many people have ‘personality clashes’ with fellow workers and bosses, and this can drive the desire to move on from that company.

If the reason you are ‘moving on’ is because of problems with your boss or colleagues, the interview for a new job is not a place to tell your tale of woe. The people interviewing you could be your future boss or managers, and they will not want to hire someone who’s going to complain about them to whoever will listen.

Interviewer: “How Do You Get On With Your Boss And Colleagues?”

Remember, ‘People who tell the truth never have to remember anything’. Even if you hate your boss’s guts and fellow employees are bullies, make sure you give a positive answer to the above question. Before the interview, list out positive points about the people you work with and let that be your answer.

While your boss is rude and bad tempered, perhaps you can admire the fact that she has a great work ethic and has managed the company through tough times (Focused). Even if some fellow employees are bullies, perhaps they are good at their job and can to work together to get the things done (Teamwork).

List as many positive points as possible, and convince yourself they are the truth. If you can believe it yourself you will be able to ‘sell it’ to the interviewer.

Good luck with your job interview and be sure to check the rest of the useful interview tips on this website.
