A Problem and How You Dealt With It?

INSTRUCTOR NOTE:

Our Analysis:

  • The candidate’s response was a little long, but still complete and answered the question fully.
  • The candidate could minimize the delays in speech (i.e. “uhs” and “ums”)
  • The candidate spoke more about the team’s effort than his individual contributions. (Note that depending on the content, there is nothing wrong with focusing more on the team’s effort. For example, if your contributions are more managerial in nature, then make sure to focus on those managerial actions you took to solve the problem.)
  • The candidate explained the problem and solution in great detail. He could have emphasized some larger themes in order to make it easier for the interviewer to synthesize the information and avoid confusion.
  • The candidate gave numerical growth numbers — this is great.
