30 Job Promotion Questions And Answers

21⟩ What was your biggest success story in XYZ department?

Example:

When I joined the XYZ firm, they were still using paper files in addition to trying to use AMS. Because I came from a paperless office, I was able to help teach my supervisor some tricks to automate the business and eliminate some of the redundancy. She was so impressed that she arranged a meeting with the owner who ended up putting me in charge of automating the office and helping to train the support staff. As a result, I was promoted to the office trainer and was able to help the firm reduce the amount of time it took to process a renewal by over 25%.

24⟩ How would you counter the situation if it is the year end and there is a big backlog of work for everyone. One of your co workers informs you that he or she plans to take the week off, while claiming sick leave?

I would first think about the past progress of the co worker. If the co worker has had a minimal amount of holiday during the entire year, I would neither support him nor report him, I will change the week off status to vacation leave. However, if the co worker has a history of taking casual leaves under fake reasons, I would report the matter to the HR.

25⟩ How would you handle if there has been a visible decline in the performance of a subordinate?

I would try to investigate the reason behind the decline of the subordinate's performance. Once the reason is discovered, I would decide whether the reason is professional or personal. If it is a professional reason, I would then try to find out whether I can solve the problem that the person has been facing.

If it is a personal problem, I would keep an eye on the time that the person has lost due to the personal problem. If the time taken cannot be handled by the company, I would speak to the person about the same, and give him an idea that he or she should try to solve the personal problem on his or her own, so that productivity may be increased for the company.

26⟩ How would you handle it, if you are introducing a new policy into the team, you are facing a bit of opposition?

I would introduce any policy very gently. If feasible, I would hold a small meeting of the group that is affected and introduce them to the policy, as well as take the time to inform them of the advantages they and the company would obtain once the policy is in place.

Also, I would stress the fact that the policy is not a hard and fast rule and it may be reworked if the people are not completely comfortable working under such a rule and policy.

28⟩ Why should you be drama free to get promoted?

Especially in an office environment, we have to work closely with different personalities and in less-than-ideal situations. Unless there is a real problem keep complaints to yourself. As one boss says, "Your job is to make your boss's life easier, not plop your drama on his or her lap. Save that for your friends and family or your diary."

29⟩ Why should you keep smiling for getting promoted?

You do not need to blind every passerby with your pearly whites, but remember that no matter how close your deadline or how heavy your workload, other people will take their cues from you. If you are snapping at co-workers and frowning, they will snap and frown right back. Instead, take a breath, put on a smile, and show your boss you appreciate the opportunity.

30⟩ How would you set your priorities, if your team is working on a very sensitive project which is on the verge of completion, another project comes in which is very important?

The first thing that I would look into while taking a new project is the learning curve that would have to be generated. If the learning curve is too high, I would give the assignment to a senior, taking the work that he or she already has and give it to a junior resource. This way, the new assignment will be worked on side by side with the old assignment, enabling simultaneous implementation of both assignments.
