In what ways have you exceeded expectations in the past?

When I am doing a task at work, I am always watching if something can be improved. If I find something wrong, I talk about that to a superior and if I have the authorization, I change the thing I found. After improving it, it saves time and money for the company and the bosses are happy.

To be honest, I don't work well with people that are always talking for nothing. My conversations are pretty quick and it says everything. I am a serious person, I like having fun, but I don't like to be disturbed while I am working on something by someone who doesn't stop talking about anything.


How do you react to criticism?

I react really well to criticism. I can take some and ignore some too. Criticism could make me a better manager, so it is important because I don't know everything.

What did you do to learn the ropes at a previous job?

I started at the beginning. I was watching how others did the job and I did it after them to make sure that I did it right. I can't know everything on a single day of work!


Tell me about a time when you were able to convince someone.

When I explain a task to someone, he is more willing to do it because he knows the importance of it.


How do you convince someone to change their mind?

It is hard to make someone changes their mind, but it can be possible, but we have to explain well why your reason is more important than his.
