in my chosen field.

Describe a book you have recently read.

Whenever I get time, I try to read books and the ranges
vary from profession related books, technical, religious,
fiction, classic and contemporary books. The book I
recently read is Love Rules written by Marilyn
Reynold the author of Detour for Emmy and To soon for
Jeff. The book is not literally about Love. It is about two
girls who are bestfriends. The other girl is heterosexual
and the other one a lesbian. The story is more on how
the lesbian named kit was being bullied by her
classmates and how she react on those situations.
How books can impact on a man's life?
Books are good sources of knowledge and they
actually enlighten us. Reading a book is a really good
and helpful way whenever you are bored or stressed
out. In this way, people can develop their imagination
and nurture their mind and thinking skills. Moreover,
there is a possibility for someone to change their view
about specific things such as religious issues, gender
parity, culture and so on and become more openminded by reading books.
What is your favorite movie?
Its quite hard to say what my favorite movie is because
there are quite a few to choose from! But I would say
that the one that made the strongest impression on me
is a 2009 Indian movie entitled 3 Idiots. Two friends
are searching for their long lost companion. They revisit
their college days and recall the memories of their
friend who inspired them to think differently, even as

the rest of the world called them "idiots". This is the

story of Farhan, Raju and Rancho who are engineering
students at the Imperial College of Engineering, one of
the best colleges in India.
Who are your heroes?
My heroes are my mother and father. They raise me
and my brothers very well and were great role models.
My mother was very organized and detail oriented,
always keeping the house clean and welcoming, and
my father was a hard-working, dedicated employee
who would pride himself in giving his all and completing
any task he set out to do. I try to exemplify those same
characteristics in all aspects of my life, and I would love
the opportunity to do so in this position.
My hero are my parents. They taught me to always do
the right thing; to value others and help them whenever
I can; to plan ahead, work hard and do my best in any
situation; to be a lifelong learner; to smile and keep a
sense of humor even when things get tough; and to
love, support and protect my family
Why should I hire you?
You should hire me because I'm the best person for the
job. I realize that there are likely other candidates who
also have the ability to do this job. Yet I bring an
additional quality that makes me the best person for the
jobmy passion for excellence.
How has your education prepared you for
your career?
My education has focused on not only the learning the
fundamentals, but also on the practical application of
the information learned within those classes.
Have you ever had a conflict with a boss or
professor? How was it resolved?
Yes, I have had conflicts in the past. Never major ones,
but there have been disagreements that needed to be
resolved. I've found that when conflict occurs, it helps
to fully understand the other persons perspective, so I
take time to listen to their point of view, then I seek to
work out a collaborative solution.
What about this job interests you?
Ive applied to companies where I know I can get
excited about what the company does. Your company
is one of my top choices. This job is really attractive to
me because it combines my interest and experience in
logistics and security with work in a more global
business environment.
What are your salary expectations?
Im sure that your company offers a fair, competitive
salary for someone with my education / training, skills
and experience. I am also willing to negotiate for the
right position.
Have you ever had a conflict with a superior
or colleague?
I think that everyone at some point has had a conflict at
work whether its with a supervisor or co-worker. Ive
found that when Im in a difficult situation, it helps to
communicate with the other person, understand their
perspective and try to work out a collaborative solution
whenever possible.
Do you have any questions?
How many people work in this office/department?
Is travel expected in this position? If so, how much?

here?
Would you like a list of references?

possible to ideally perform your job.

I am very focused on my work, and consequently, I am
able to work quickly.

Are You Easy to Talk To?

I am really a good listener and approachable, and I
think that makes me easy to talk to.

When Was The Last Time You Were Angry?

What Happened?
Anger to me means loss of control. I do not lose
control. When I get stressed, I step back, take a deep
breath, thoughtfully think through the situation and then
begin to formulate a plan of action.

Do You Prefer to Work Independently or On a

Team?
I am equally comfortable working as a member of a
team and independently.

What is your greatest strength?

My time management skills are excellent and i'm
organized, efficient, and take pride in excelling at my
work.

What is your greatest weakness?

I would consider the fact that I have never worked in
this field before as a weakness. However, being highly
trainable, open minded, and fast learner, I have no preconceived notions on how to perform my job.
My greatest weakness is being too perfectionist. I like
to make sure that my work is perfect. So i tend to
spend more time than necessary on a task or take the

task personally that could easily be delegated to

someone else.
How do you evaluate success?
I evaluate success based on outcomes. It's not always
the path you take to achieve success that matters.
Rather, its quantifiable result.
What are your goals in the future?
My long term goals involve growing with a company
where I can continue to learn, take on additional
responsibilities, and contribute as much of value as I
can.
What do you see yourself 5 years from now?
I see myself as a top performing employee in a wellestablished organization, like this one. I plan on
enhancing my skills and continuing my involvement in
professional associations.
How do you handle stress?
I react to situations rather than to stress. That way, the
situation is handled and doesn't become stressful.
What is your edge over other applicants?
I have no idea what the other candidates youre
considering might be able to do. My guess is youre
looking at some top people, but let me tell you my
attributes and why I think I have a unique set of
qualifications that I hope would make me the best
candidate for the job. I am competent and my skills are
relevant to this job and my willingness to work under
any kind of pressure. I am a fast learner and I can
provide solutions based on my vast experience.
