Very critical – Trust – how you communicate with others, interact, build your relationship
with other, how you get they trust , feedback, how you react, your behaviour in terms of
your feedback.

Receive feedback negative from manager, peers, customer – how you react and what
solution you propose

You were to pushy or vese versa

Feedback for improve – how you react , what you have done next, if you change course of
action, training, change your strategy, achieve something better than before, how you use
this feedback

Example – I worked as Account manager where I managed 10 global accounts. I received


complaints about OTIF it was critical because This client was critical because client
contributing 30% of total our revenue. = risk leaves company = show impact – complexity

Who your stakeholders explain in every situation and action – C level for example?
Show the number and seniority of stakeholders that were involved in that action

Your project was local / cross functional? Who others team – give clear info in your STAR
answer

Share data with us is better / exact figures / numbers

How much times takes to allocate recourses, find recourses, fix the problem

How you involve other people in your question / problem / who more expertise are/ when
you involve other experts in your problem it means you are self-critical and you can shout
out to ask help and support from people who are have more expertise

Show how you apply your tech/others expertise with your team

Know your examples in detail, impact and what you would be done differently = what have
you learn from this experience

Be vocal about lesson learn – try to reflect on all you examples – to see the outcome,
stakeholders, scope, complexity, what you will be done differently

Amazon about mistakes


Amazon is important to know how you handle this mistake = how you find solutions =

Ask HR about your short / long term goals / who you will be interactive with / what is KPI/

Amazon love to know if you scarify for short term goal or long – in Task give us
understanding

S – situation / was your role, who was your employer, what was you in charge of and what
was duties
T – give us understanding is it short or long term goal (strategic thinking )

Action – show logic in your action, why you take this step, with whom did you talk to, what
was feedback, what was other solutions , why you didn’t go with them. I only use rather WE
How you motivate people, how you guide people, how you pursue them to achieve the same
goal
Results – what you have done, contribution, what you would be done differently + show
quantitative data – essential – financial measure, time, cost reduction, KPI

Implement project always use benchmarked , how I evaluate project the time, what was key
metrics in order to understand it is successful or not , timelines, volumes, sales figures ,
customer satisfaction score , historical data, comparison

When you interact with others, what was feedback, recognition, promotion show/ say -show
your trust

Don’t use one year project for one example, try to show this project spllited into many
different problems, highlight each problems from different angles

I have already spoken about this project but would like to discuss different problem, has
different solution, stakeholders
