So what?

Our strength based interviews?

Well, strength based questions are becoming more common during interviews, and they are used as a way to assess.

And this is important how your core qualities and abilities are a match for the job you are being interviewed for.

That's the sole purpose.

Have a strength based interview now.

On the surface, the questions appeared to be really easy to answer.

However.

They are, in fact, quite difficult to respond to simply because the interview is looking for a specific answer.

That is a match for the person specification.

So I have essentially done all of the hard work for you, giving you right now some questions that coming up on, I'm going to explain the question itself and how you can answer it to get in the high school's possible.

So the 1st 1 we're gonna look at through our strength based interview question tutorial is would you do in your spare time.

So this is a pretty common interview question, especially being used during strength based questions.

Now a lot of people go to interviews are mistaken that they think that this is just a friendly interview question where the interviewer or the hiring manager just wants to get to know you.

But how you respond to it demonstrates what you're like is a person when you get into work so it shows what you are like.

So what you don't want to be doing is saying, while I like going out to the pub with my friends.

Yes, we all like to do that.

However, that has no value to the employer or the hiring manager.

So some positive things to say to the question What you do in your spare time include anything related to fitness or outdoor activities.

If you are part of a group or you want to take team activities, and that's really good to say as well.

Perhaps you learn a new or different skill now that might be undertaken online training courses.

Or let's assume that you play a musical instrument that demonstrates an ability to learn something you pick up something you and learning and also concentrate for a long period of time.

So that is positive as well, on also anything related to self development so ever that's under taking online courses or even reading self development books.

Those four things are really good to say.

So here is my sample answer to the strength based interview question.

What do you do in your spare time?

Here we go.

I like to keep myself fit and active, and I spent about 20 minutes at the gym three times a week.

I am So where possible, Enjoy walking and tried to do about 10,000 steps every day.

I spent time reading and attack my personal development quite seriously.

Now, apart from reading nonfiction self development books, I also sometimes undertake online training courses via the website You to me dot com Now, when I'm not keeping Phil reading, I like to spend quality time with my family.

I would say outside of work, I am a happy and positive person, always likes to make good use of the time I have available.

So if you were a hiring manager and I said that to you, you would think.

Okay, That person makes good use of their time on day, are always looking to maintain their fitness on dhe, improve their self development.

And that can only be a good thing.

Let's take a look at another strength based interview.

Question.

What energizes you know?

Sometimes this question is posed in the way of what motivates you.

So it's the same kind of thing.

But what energizes you?

So what we need to do here is make sure we give an answer that is specific to a work scenario Now, what you don't want to do.

And I've heard this before in interviews, one of our city's question.

What energizes you?

Somebody said, When someone brings cakes into the office and even know that's really funny, you know, that's yet.

We don't wanna be saying that Join the interview or when it's 5 p.m. On a Friday afternoon s Oh, here's my suggested answer to the question.

What energizes you?

The thing that energizes me the most is when I'm the first person to be given a new and important task, and it's then my responsibility to take it to the next step before the rest of the team take it over and use it as part of their working day.

I get a real buzz from being the person who is responsible for starting off tasks or projects, as I feel privileged to be entrusted to do a good job for the team and also my manager.

So that's great, because you feel like, yeah, I want to be that person.

I want a volunteer to start new tasks off, and then I'll do a really good job because that shows that you got high standards and professionalism, and the rest of the team can then take that forward for you.

So, by the way, I hope you enjoy these thes answers.

Don't get to give the video like and subscribe.

You can even take notes and write down the answers.

Or I will tell you at some stage in a minute where you could get a copy of these and in total 17 strength based interview questions on high scoring answers.

That's what we want to the next one.

So give me an example of a successful day at work.

What's a successful day at work?

So I need to think carefully about how we respond to this now.

Some positive things that you might say are the completion of important tasks or projects, So that would be a successful day to me.

So we managed to finish a project off that we're working on for a long time, or when you help someone with in your team's that same somebody approaches you and they're struggling and you help him.

Then that's successful.

Perhaps when the team you are working for winds and important sale or an important contract because that shows you care.

But also when you solve a customer problem, if a customer rings up and complains, then that's a good thing.

If you can solve it forms, so you would identify that as being successful.

So here's my suggested answer to the interview question.

The strength bites into question.

Give me an example of a successful day at work.

Here we go.

A successful day to me at work is when I get to complete all tasks that I have set myself up the start of the day.

Now I get great job satisfaction when I complete tasks properly, and I feel I am contributing to the objectives of the team.

I'm work.

I'm a partof now.

Another example of a successful day at work is when we all achieve one of the company's predetermined objectives.

Now this might be an important sale or even managing to win a large contract when we successfully meet one of our objectives.

There is a great buzz and atmosphere in the office due to the collective success we have just managed to achieve.

So you're giving two examples there.

What I like about that is that you are focusing on the team.

Parts of the first example is when you complete tasks, but the 2nd 1 is working his partner team.

And for any hiring manager, that's a good thing to hear that you are focused on achieving goals that the team has to work collectively to achieve.

Now I've got two more to run through, so please do stick around because they are tough ones to answer.

And I've got some great responses to the but you want download.

Here's a tricky question.

Do you find there are enough hours in the day to get your work done?

Now?

A lot of people will respond to this by saying something like this.

No, always.

It's hard sometimes to get ripping.

My boss wants me to do completed on time.

Don't say that.

Don't say you should respond to this by saying yes.

Always, there's always enough hours in the day.

So what you have to do when you're answering this question?

You have to be creative with your problem solving skills to make.

Make sure you get everything done within the time that's allocated.

Now I know, you know, we all have to work hard.

And the reality is, you know, is there enough hours in the day?

There's no, but you can make enough hours, and this is how you do it with this answer.

Yes, I always find there are enough hours in the day to get things done.

If I'm working on a task and I need to work harder to achieve the end goal, I will ever get other people within the team or the organization to help me out or I'll get in early or stay at work late to make sure things are completed.

There are always enough hours in the day to get things done.

If you are created with your problem solving abilities, that's a great answer to that question.

Let's have a look at another one.

What's your greatest strength?

So this on the surface appears to be an easy question, so you can't really go wrong with it.

You could say I'm great with customers.

You could say I'm a really, really good communicator.

However, what we need to do is think about what is the one thing all hiring managers and bosses want from their employees.

What's the one thing they want?

And the answer is for them to finish their jobs properly to a high standard and on time.

If you do that like if I give you a job and you go when you do it quickly to the right standard and you don't cause any problems brilliant.

That is the one thing people want now, that kind of person, that skill, the attributes is called a complete a finisher, somebody who completes things.

They get finished on time.

That is the warm thing all hiring managers want from somebody.

They don't cause any problems.

They got on with it, and that is a massive asset tohave as an employee.

So here's my answer to the question.

What's your greatest strength?

And it will work for everybody.

My greatest strength is the facts that I am a complete a finisher.

I am someone who, if you give me an important task, your job, I will complete it quickly and to a very high standard.

I would like to think that my strength is that you can rely on me to carry out important, time sensitive, sensitive tasks when needed, so that that is a great, great strength toe.

Have somebody.
