Demolition Worker

In order to answer this question well, you must show awareness of what the company does, including the different service areas it offers, who its main clients are and have a good idea about the size of the company. You should also research the history the business and find out as much as you can about when it was started and what the company has achieved.

It doesn't matter how competent and qualified you are for the role, if you turn up to the interview unprepared for this question, you run the risk of completely ruining your chances of getting the job.

For this question, the interviewer is looking for an answer that shows you have goals and are ambitious. Be honest but realistic.

Avoid talking about money or starting up your own business as these are not the intentions your potential employers will be looking for you to have. Instead, contextualise your ambitions to fit in with the role and company as this will show the interviewer that you are committed and driven.

This is a difficult question as most people will have different ideas about what makes a good manager. If you're applying for a managerial role or if there is potential for you to progress into one from the position you're applying for, you need to show a good understanding of the most important qualities to have to manage people effectively.

Setting realistic goals, giving constructive feedback and providing support to team members to help them build their skills set are all good examples of excellent management qualities.

This question is a tricky one as both are hugely important. Show that you are aware of the benefits of both and that you understand that you need to be comfortable working in either scenario.

I like it as career because I know what I put myself into, specially is very dangerous.

I worked with one another as someone that I know for years.

For this question, don't fall into the trap of reeling off a list of generic qualities. Instead, focus on three or four key strengths that you think make you suited to the role.

Give examples from your previous experience for each strength to demonstrate your capabilities to the interviewer.

The biggest mistake you can make with this question is to say you don't have any weaknesses. The interviewer is looking to employ a human, not a robot, and we all have our failings so avoid this answer as you risk looking arrogant and ruining your chances.

Use this question as an opportunity to identify something you would like to improve on. Identify a weakness, but then suggest ways in which you can resolve it. Employers are much more likely to respond to an answer like this as it shows that you are willing to invest time into your own professional development and are not complacent.

This question is very popular with employers so you need to make sure that you have an answer ready. Generally-speaking, the interviewer is looking for a work-related or academic answer, so you're best to avoid talking about your personal life unless you can relate it to work.

Although you may have a number of accomplishments you are proud of, you're best to choose one that you can speak about in detail. Explain what the situation was, the challenges you faced, how you dealt with it and the outcome in a concise and confident manner. Show enthusiasm and speak proudly about your achievements to invoke a positive response in the interviewer.

The key with this question is to see it as a positive and as an opportunity to discuss your personal growth. The biggest mistake you can make with your answer is to say that you haven't had any failures. This will come across defensive and will damage your credibility.

Choose an answer that you can draw positives from and explain what you learnt from this failure. It's important to be accountable for your own mistakes so avoid blaming your failure on anyone else. Instead, explain why you failed and how you used this failure as a springboard for success.

I believe the best way to deal with stress on the job is to ensure that everyone on the team is contributing. I would make sure we have dedicated people to man the registers while other individuals are busy preparing the drinks, prioritizing when needed to ensure customers get their orders in a timely manner.

One time at a previous café, someone unexpectedly did not show up to work. We all worked even harder to ensure the customers were satisfied for rush hour. Afterward, I made sure to thank everyone personally and tell them how appreciative I was of their efforts.

I love a well-prepared cappuccino. I prefer mine dark with a little less milk than normal, and if the barista can sprinkle some grated chocolate on top, all the better.

I have dealt with numerous difficult customers in the past. I have found that the best method is to avoid arguing is to simply apologize. Regardless if the customer is in the wrong, it is not worth the hassle, and I definitely would not want to make a scene in front of everyone else in the building. I would then provide the customer with a new beverage or food item of their choice. I believe that smoothing everything out in a professional manner is the best way to move past the situation and to ensure the customer would be willing to return to the shop in the future.

One time I picked up the wrong paint while I was on the phone.

The worst thing to do when faced with this question is to speak about your current employer or colleagues in a negative way. This will make you look unprofessional, and alluding to rifts between you and your manager or colleagues will make you appear difficult to work with.

Instead, focus on why the role you're applying for appeals to you and why you're looking to explore new opportunities. Your answer should reflect your aims for positive personal development.

There was an instance when one of our regulars came in, and we were out of the beans that went in his usual roast. He was naturally a little upset, but fortunately a farmer’s market was taking place just a block away. I went out, purchased some more beans and managed to keep him as a regular patron.

As awkward as it may be, if you have a significant gap in your work history you need to have any answer prepared as it's likely that the interviewer will ask you about it.

Whether you took some time out to travel, have children or if you were let go from a previous job, ensure that you speak about it in a positive way. Explain what the break taught you and how it contributed to your personal growth.

Right now my class schedule is from 9 AM to 3 PM on Mondays and Wednesday, and 9 AM to 1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Outside of that, I am willing to work whenever you need me. I know the shop opens at 6 AM, and I would be more than willing to come into work before class. I can even come in after my classes and work until closing.
