During summer vacations in the Philippines BPO companies ramp up their hiring to accommodate for new talent of fresh high school and college graduates. So that means Exprosearch Recruitment is busy hiring – with over 100 open positions. That means we spend a lot of time interviewing. Of course, you have to be qualified to get in the door. But once that door is open, here are some tips on how to make a good impression – and land the job.
Use these tips to deliver a polished, cohesive interview. Here’s a common question and an example of how I would answer it:
When have you demonstrated that you can overcome difficult challenges at a past job?
Hmmm… I love a good challenge, but let me reflect for a minute on one of the best examples of a challenge I have overcome that would be most relevant to my ability to succeed here at (this company) in the role of (job you are interviewing for and have researched). (Be comfortable with a bit of silence while you think. Do not say ummm, uhhhh, well, etc).
At my first job out of college, we had to deliver a product in half the time with half the resources. While it was daunting, it was critical to accomplish to get our next round of funding. So, we had to get creative. I was able to barter services from another company and trade some overstock product we had…. That is just one example of how I took on a difficult challenge and delivered. (Now stop talking and wait for next question.)
Happy job hunting!
