Interview Script
I’m good, just a little bit nervous, thank you for asking.
2. I want to work here because this job is a good fit for what I've been doing and enjoying
throughout my career. It offers a mix of short-term projects and long-term goals. My
organizational skills allow me to successfully multitask and complete both kinds of projects.
3. My greatest strengths is I have a solid work ethic. When I'm working on a project, I don't just
want to meet deadlines. Rather, I prefer to complete the project well ahead of schedule. And
My background as an Accountancy Major will certainly help me succeed in the job. However, my
weaknesses is I have a very strong attention to detail. Sometimes, this can turn into a tendency
to perfectionism. I found this leading me to triple-check every item on a spreadsheet. I’ve since
learned to successfully budget my time and gauge which tasks require and actually benefit from
this level of precision.
Can you give an example of when you have worked well under pressure?
5. I think it’s a good pressure—such as having many assignments or an upcoming deadline— cause
it helps me to stay motivated and productive. Of course, there are times when too much
pressure can lead to stress. However, I'm very skilled at balancing multiple projects and meeting
deadlines; this ability prevents me from feeling overly stressed. For example, I once had three
large projects due in the same week, and that was a lot of pressure. However, because I created
a schedule that detailed how I would break down each project into small assignments, I
managed to complete all three projects ahead of time and avoided unnecessary stress.
6. Because my skill set is a perfect match for the job requirements. I am a self-motivated person
who is willing to go above and beyond on any project, and to learn valuable skills on my own
time. I taught myself to be proficient in many computer software programs, simply out of a
passion to also learn how to code. I know you are looking for a self-motivated employee with
both skills and passion, and I am that person.
7. Yes, I just want to ask, If I were hired for this role, what would you want me to achieve in my
first two months?
When might I hear back from you regarding a decision?
Interviewee: Okay Ma’am, I am grateful for interviewing with you today. I really enjoyed our
conversation and our time today. I think my experience and accomplishments can provide value
to the organization
Interviewer: Thanks so much for speaking with me today. The recruiter will be in touch with you
soon to discuss your next steps.
