How to answer tough interview questions.

Subscribing to the Harvard Business Review was one of the best decisions I made. I have learned so much about career development, personal branding, and job crafting. This article summarizes some of the questions you will get asked in a behavioral interview (courtesy of HBR) and I have included my responses to all of them. Assume I am seeking a HR role in a Fortune 500 company

Tell me about yourself and describe your background in brief?

How did you hear about this position?

What type of work environment do you prefer?

How do you deal with pressure or a stressful situation?

Do you prefer working independently or on a team?

How do you keep yourself organized when balancing multiple projects?

What did you do in the last year to improve your knowledge?

Tell me about yourself and describe your background in brief?

I grew up in small country in West Africa. I went to a great school through scholarship with the condition that I would pay it forward to the younger generation. So, after high-school I spent two years teaching math to elementary school kids. It was there I discovered my interest of people development. I enjoyed taking a kid from "I don't like math to can I get more homework? When I moved to the U.S for college I chose to study Psychology with a minor in Organizational Development. And my internship as a Human Capital Manager has allowed me to further develop my communication and leadership skills.

How did you hear about this position?

I learned about this position through Stacy Williams. She was one of the panelists on the fireside chat I convened in my school on the importance of women in leadership positions. I followed up with her through a coffee chat. She really enjoyed her job and the company culture. Her enthusiasm about her work encouraged me to apply and I am really excited to be going through the interview process.

What type of work environment do you prefer?

I thrive in environments where I am constantly learning. A place where each days brings a fresh set of challenges that I can solve. I also like working with teams where we can collaborate on tasks and brainstorm solution-oriented ideas. In my former internship I worked with an incredible team as a project manager in the human resources division and I worked on certain projects where I had full creative control on the outcome. I enjoyed the balance of both.

How do you deal with pressure or a stressful situation?

Stressful situations are inevitable and I learned to navigate them successful throughout my college career and my various internships. The first time I came across a stressful situation was in my Sophomore year. I worked as a customer service representative at a big department store and it was holiday season. You can imagine the amount of pressure - long lines of customers all waiting to get attended too. Instead of succumbing to the pressure I made sure to really understand the pain point of each customer which were long wait times and stock outs. If we were out of one brand of sparkling water, I would quickly recommend a different brand. If lines were long, I would go to the floor to help the bagging process. Customers left feeling satisfied with their shopping experience. Overtime, I have realized that the key to dealing with pressure is willingly choosing to complete the tasks with a positive mindset instead of worrying.

Do you prefer working independently or on a team?

I like a mix of both. I enjoy working on a team. The process of strategizing with my teammates on the best way to approach a problem allows for critical analysis and diverse points of view. Wh I also build camaraderie and trust with them while we tackle big problems. I enjoy working alone as well because I get to see how I approach different problems and compare my current performance to my previous ones. Working alone also gives me an opportunity to get feedback from my managers on my progress or areas of improvement. I like a balance of both.

How do you keep yourself organized when balancing multiple projects?

I am used to working on multiple projects. A typical semester for me is juggling between my classes, weekend job, extracurricular activities, and passion projects. So to stay on top of my deadlines and due dates I like to prioritize my tasks based on their level of urgency and importance. I use the time blocking method to schedule time for my projects. I take advantage of tools like Google calendar to keep track of due dates and appointments and Notion to manage big projects.

What did you do in the last year to improve your knowledge?

Last summer, I took some time off to really learn about veganism. It seemed intimidating at first because I did not know enough. So I turned to research to understand the facts. I began making home-cooked meals by following recipes from people I trusted and liked on YouTube. As I began noticing changes in my gut health and productivity levels, I started a blog to share my experiences. Now my blog has over 500 enthusiastic vegans who are on the same journey as I am. it was one of the best investment I made in myself.

At work they save on memory by having our Microsoft Teams messages delete after about two weeks and I can confirm this is the worst way I've ever seen an organization save money.

Looking for board game artists

Ever wanted to draw a milfy witch decapitating a robot with a chainsaw? Lesbian pirate in a gunfight with a cowboy wizard? Link from Legend of Zelda combined with Mad Max as he lambasts a Graverobber (a zombie criminal) with a crowbar as he rides a robot alligator?

If any of this sounds to your interest, then you're the kind of artist I'm looking for! I'm opening auditions for an art team that'll help design my board game, Wreak Havoc!

Message me if you feel up for taking a stab at it!

You said your brain stops being productive at work for large stretches of time. What do you do when that happens? Stare at a computer screen doing nothing? Games? Time off? Does your boss get the update or is that info omitted? (I ask because I'm hoping to get my weekly hours of working higher over time but I'm wary of the demands of actual full-time work.)

that's when i get all my posting in! i post on the clock a lot.

Does your boss get the update or is that info omitted?

so i have a couple ways of managing this. if i truly feel like i'm burning out and my brain is getting worse and not better, i'll take time off (happened ~twice in the past year). if it's less severe but still bad i will take an hour or two off and let my team know.

we do updates on our work every day in standup, and i try to basically say true things for these but frame them in a way that isn't just "sorry, brain broke disease." crucially, usually i manage to get *something* done - not something big, but enough to talk about. if i don't think i'll get this i usually take time off.

i think i benefit a lot from software engineering not having the same strict oversight as a lot of other jobs - things get done at the speed they get done, and unless you are unusually unproductive over a longer stretch of time or are working on something extremely high priority, you have some leeway to determine how/when you handle a task.

that said, i don't want to give the false impression that i am managing to skate by just fine while being less productive than my teammates - the converse of my bad brain periods is that i have good brain periods where i get a lot done very quickly. i still average out to being one of the better engineers on my team for my level, and if i didn't it would be much harder to get away with the stuff i do.

bad %>% good

Used to strongly dislike coding in R, but now after about a year of using it most of the time, and using only it since September, I've come to appreciate it. Having ChatGPT as a coding+learning tool is huge, I think Python has a legibility advantage for programming noobs.

But for data analysis, the Tidyverse model of piping step 1 to 2 to 3 in one go feels so much more natural than it ever did in Python. Can't believe you had to wrap `function_3(function_2(function_1(df)))` to chain steps, that was barbaric!

YOU WORK WITH KIDS?? can you tell us more? im an early childhood edu major and i cant wait to have more experience.. its so fulfilling

Omg omg hiiii yes I sure can!!! I actually work at the elementary school I used to go to, in a before/afterschool care program where parents can, as the name suggests, drop their kids off before or after school starts so they don't have to take the bus to or from school :) The school is K-3 and only eight minutes from my house, which is fantastic, because I most love working with younger kids and it's SO convenient!!

I work two hours mornings and three hours afternoons basically any time I can manage (though I'm cutting back this semester, since the last one was pretty grueling-- I was doing every shift I physically could, lmao). It's very straightforward: I get to interact with the kids by playing board games and cards or even drawing with them when we're in the cafeteria, or play games outside/in the gym when we do either of those! Fun fact, I arranged a pretty banger "among us" game on the playground last year, and kids who had me last year asked me specifically to facilitate it again this year!! (INCLUDING a family friend who I spent new year's with, so some of my time with friends was interrupted by first- and fourth-graders running into our room asking to be assigned crewmate or imposter, LMAO) I also do homework help and arrange crafts (mostly origami, but I like finding fun coloring pages and other stuff too!) :)))

As you can see from my rambling, I love my job soooo much ahahaha 😊😊😊 It really is so fulfilling!! My kids are so sweet and so funny and so cute, and also, I get PAID to play cards and color?? Yes please!! What experience have you had so far? Your major sounds like a dream, I wish you all the best!!!!

#CHILDCARE JOBS SWEEP BASICALLY <333 #ik i'm not working full time so my enthusiasm probably seems grating or naive to people who do do it full time #(aka my mom who has the same job in the same program but as a supervisor in the complementary 4-5 school we have) #akjhskdjf but i really really do love it beyond its convenience. i've always loved kids and i have a shit ton of tutoring experience #so this job really is perfect for me!!! #my coworker this year is also in an education major (albeit for older grades) and is currently working towards experience hours as well #so i wish you luck when you get to doing that too!!!! #asks #pawphin #kay talks #what if i made a #jobposting #tag just for this LMAO

job interview tip

(idk if anyone cares but basically i'm a hugeeeee fan of the Ask A Manager blog i read it for fun every day for like 2+ years now even though I'm a usually jobless student but ANYWAY)

on AAM there's this job interview tip they call 'the magic question' and I've started doing it in all my interviews for summer jobs etc. and it always goes super well, I really think it helped me get the job yesterday :)

basically at the end when they're like 'have you got any questions for us about the role?' once you've asked the other important things you need to know, you ask them something like "Looking back at other people who've been in the role, what's the difference between someone who was alright at it, and someone where you say 'wow, they were amazing!' ?"

It's useful to get info on the sort of things they're hoping for that might not be in the job description, for example one job they told me they would feel like that if the intern left them with a lot of stuff they could continue using after the internship, and the one yesterday for them the focus was really on people who bring a ton of positive energy to the role. I think it also signals to them that you're looking to be really good at the job yourself? I always get told that was a really great thing to ask and i think it helps things end on a positive note.

Anyway it's been so useful to me I just wanted to share in case it helps anyone else :)
