Getting to Know You
“Tell me about yourself.”
■“For the past six years I have been in the electronics
industry working on computer systems. I take an
analytical view of what is happening and work through the
process by trying various solutions. I work well
independently or as a member of a team. I have worked in
fast-paced environments most of my life and am very goal-
oriented and deadline-driven.”
■“I have over four years experience as a technician.
Two years ago I was promoted to lead technician,
and I currently supervise four testers and technicians.
My strength is problem solving. I do whatever it takes
to get the problem solved as quickly and efficiently as
possible.”
■“I am a person who enjoys problem solving. For the past
six years I have been working on projects and problems
involving software design. In my last position I was able to
solve a design problem that had been around for a while.
As a result, the company was able to sell a product that
had been delayed for some time to our biggest
customer.”
“Are you familiar with our company?”
■“My research has turned up quite a bit of information
about your company and its founders. I was very
impressed by the background of your two founders.
I was also very interested to read several articles in
journals about the latest research your company is
conducting.”
