Estimator Questions And Answers

1⟩ Tell me what are your weaknesses for Project estimator position?

Try not to be too critical when answering this question. Instead, pick one of your weaknesses and try to turn it into a positive.

For example, you could be a perfectionist, which means that you sometimes take longer on tasks, but you make sure that they are completed to a high quality. It is important to make a negative into a positive as it doesn’t make you appear overly critical and shows you can reflect on your own performance.

2⟩ Tell me have you got any questions?

This is your final opportunity to persuade the interviewer that you are the right candidate for the job. Now is not the time to ask questions about holidays, pay or pensions – all these things can be asked later when you get an offer of employment. Now is the time to ask about any reservations that the interviewer may have about your suitability for the role. You will then give yourself one last chance to persuade the interviewer that you are the right candidate for the job.

Thank you. I think we have covered everything. Before we finish the interview I would like to take the opportunity to ask if you have any reservations about my suitability for this role?

9⟩ Please explain what do you like and dislike about the sales process?

Use this question to know the candidate’s self-awareness and motivation. Know your strengths in the sales process as these will translate into what you like. The interviewer will give priority to you when your “likes” and strengths fix the sales position.

For example, if you are discussing your strengths with the interviewer, demonstrate and describe how you enjoy this aspect of sales and your pleasure at coming up with win-win solutions. You need to emphasize that this will be ensured to satisfy customers and increase sales for the company.

You note that you should take careful when responding to the “dislikes”. During negotiation on sales solutions, you should choose a characteristic of your current or precious company, for example you done poor delivery on the sales or lack of flexibility. It is positive manner to answer this question. You give your “dislikes” to get the solutions for the sort of problems. For example, there is obstruction in the delivery of company products and this makes customers unsatisfied. So you will discuss how set up a follow-up process to speed up the delivery of products.

11⟩ Suppose if you look at a clock and the time is 315, what's the angle between the hour and the minute hands?

Usually, if the answer to a brainteaser seems too easy, chances are the answer's wrong. And in this case, the answer is not zero degrees. The hour hand, remember, moves as well. That is, in addition to the minute hand. And so, at 3:15, the hour hand and the minute hand are not on top of each other. In fact, the hour hand has moved a quarter of the way between the 3 and 4. This means it's moved a quarter of 30 degrees (360 degrees divided by 12 equals 30). So the answer, to be exact, is seven and a half degrees (30 divided by four).
