up very quickly. Let the interviewer know that you will
be up and running in no time and that he won’t have to
hold your hand through the process.
- How would your current boss describe you?
Perfect Phrase:“My boss would tell you that I work
very independently without a lot of direction. He has
had to depend on me to run things as he travels a great
deal.”
Note:Never make your boss look bad. By putting a pos-
itive spin on the way you say something, you can
emphasize your strengths rather than your boss’s
weaknesses.
- What do you like best about working with your
current company?
Perfect Phrase:“One thing about my company that I
really like is the teamwork that is emphasized there. No
matter what department I have worked with, there is a
sense of partnership and pulling together. That’s
important to me in my job.”
Note:Never bad-mouth a company or person. This
reflects badly on you and the company or person you
are talking about. The thinking is that someday you will
talk about this person or company like that when you
leave.
