Why did you choose that particular rating for yourself? Example #1: "I rate my communication skills as a 9/10 as I will, on occasion, have times when I am not as clear as I would like to be. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my clear and concise communication skills. Because I am an open leader, my team will let me know if I need to clarify anything." Example #2: "I believe there is always room to improve communication skills so for that reason I will rate myself as an 8/10. I have not received any complaints related to my communication abilities and am quite proud of my oral and written communication skills." Here is an anonymous answer example: "i rate my communication skills 8/10 as i believe there is always room for improving and nobody is perfect. during my years in customer service, i have been able to develop excellent relationships with customers and colleagues. i have also been able to use my skills to successfully defuse many tense situations with customers and find satisfying and quick solutions to their issues." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: Good! You left room for improvement while still giving a very confident answer. Customer service jobs often bring powerful lessons in communication, so it's great that you drew this experience into your response.6. Have you progressed in your career as you have expected? Career progression can be a touchy subject, especially if you feel that your career hasn't progressed as well as you would have liked. Talk to the interviewer about your career progression and what you would like to see in the future. Example #1: "Overall, my career has progressed a touch slower than I would have liked. I have held a couple of positions that didn't offer the growth and learning that I was expecting; however, I have bounced back nicely. I feel that this particular position would take my career exactly where it should be." Example #2: "Yes, I am happy with my career progression. I have always been the type to set out a detailed plan for myself and take the required action steps to get there. This position is most definitely in line with my expected career progression." Here is an anonymous answer example: "thankfully, in my time at the university, i developed practical and theoretical skills significantly. i initially participated as a structure member for one of the student projects. due to my success in that field and the level of collaboration amongst other students, i achieved a structure lead position for another project. i hope to apply the skills gained throughout my experience to this job." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: It sounds as though you are very pleased with your progress. You work hard, and it pays off!7. Confidentiality is of utmost importance to us at Airbus. Are you willing to sign a confidentiality agreement, if hired? Many companies involved in Aerospace and Defense have sensitive information. Assure the interviewer that you are a trustworthy individual who can handle being under a confidentiality agreement with Airbus S.A.S., if hired. Example #1: "I am a highly trustworthy person. My background includes many years of experience working on sensitive projects. I fully understand the desire that Airbus S.A.S. has to protect their data and am more than willing to sign a confidentiality agreement." Example #2: "Yes, I am willing to sign a confidentiality agreement with Airbus S.A.S., anytime in this process." Here is an anonymous answer example: "yes, i intend to learn from my stay at airbus and develop my skills to remain a crucial part of airbus' team. i am willing to sign this confidentiality agreement as i respect airbus' values and do not intend to harm the company." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: Very well said! Nicely done.8. At Airbus we have some strong competitors. In your opinion, what makes us stand out from the others? It is essential to research Airbus S.A.S. before your interview. Through that research, be sure to study some of their competitors and why you feel Airbus S.A.S. stands out from the crowd. Visit the 'News' and 'About Us' section on the company website to find out if they have received any recent awards or accolades. Example #1: "I have seen that you have a few competitors in your industry; however, after reviewing your website, online reviews, and seeing your multitude of recent awards I feel that working for Airbus S.A.S. would be a real honor and great step in my career. You stand out from the crowd for refusing to bend from your company values." Example #2: "Your organization stands out in many ways. What impressed me the most was your safety record, employee tenure, and growth opportunity. When it comes to your competitors, would you agree that these are stand-out areas for you? I would love to hear more about your company's competition plan."9. There are numerous career avenues you can take with Airbus. Which career path interests you the most? It is essential that you thoroughly research Airbus S.A.S. before your interview. Be sure to examine their careers section, any additional locations, and the variety of departments or business units they may have. You can then accurately assess the potential growth opportunities with Airbus S.A.S.. Discuss your career growth and desires with the interviewer. Example #1: "I saw on your website that you are looking for an Engineering lead. I am not yet qualified for that level of a leadership role; however, it interests me. I would love to be considered for a role like that with Airbus S.A.S. in the future." Example #2: "My primary goal is to become a (insert position title/goal) within the next five years. I am taking additional coursework to gain the required skills. Do you feel this is an achievable goal with your company?" Here is an anonymous answer example: "i have a great desire and interest in the field of structures, specifically the 'wing structures engineer' role you are currently advertising. my interest in aero-structures stemmed overtime through the participation in university student-led aerospace projects as a structures member where the design, analysis, and testing of components was my role." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: You offer precise specifics on your interest and desires, showing the interviewer that you have a deep interest and passion for this career path — very strong answer.10. The aerospace and defense industry is ever-changing. At Airbus we seek to hire individuals with a keen interest in this industry. How do you stay up to date on aerospace related current events? The interviewer would like to confirm that you have a genuine interest in the aerospace and defense industry. Perhaps you read aerospace-related books, follow particular engineering journals or subscribe to a blog related to this industry. Briefly share with the interviewer how you stay up to date on current events related to Airbus S.A.S.. Example #1: "I am always interested in learning more about this industry and the changes that are taking place. It's truly fascinating. Most frequently, I read the International Journal of Aerospace Engineering. There are also a couple of blogs that I follow including www.aviationweek.com." Example #2: "Staying up to date on aerospace-related events is quite easy with a couple of phone applications I have downloaded, and a few blogs to which I subscribe. I would love some new suggestions as well! Do you have any strong recommendations?" Here is an anonymous answer example: "i tend to keep up with trends in information transfer through social media. thus, i follow several of airbus' divisions, including commercial, helicopters, and space on platforms such as instagram and twitter. i also read airbus' regular newsletter postings and listen to the "make it fly" podcast. outside of airbus, i tend to read online newsletters and magazines that keep up with today's aviation news such as aviationweekly.com and the aviation herald." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: These are fantastic resources, and your answer is highly complementary to the interviewing company. Excellent answer!11. In your opinion, what is the biggest breakthrough in the aerospace and defense industry in the past decade? The interviewer wants to ensure that you hold strong knowledge, and genuine interest, in the aerospace and defense industry. If you are familiar with the industry, you will know about some of the latest industry breakthroughs. Briefly discuss which one has caught your interest the most. Example #1: "There have been endless breakthroughs in our industry; however, I would say the one that excited me the most was the Falcon 9 Full Thrust. It's amazing to me that a partially-reusable launch system is in existence." Example #2: "The biggest recent breakthrough in our industry, in my opinion, was the Falcon 9 Full Thrust; however, there are so many from which to choose! May I ask which was your favorite breakthrough as of late?" Here is an anonymous answer example: "i think the biggest breakthrough would have to be the introduction of complex manufacturing methods that have allowed the implementation of carbon composites in aircraft to improve significantly. the a350, for example, possesses a structure with over 50% carbon composites. it has allowed for the increase of fuel efficiency and performance, meeting today's strict carbon emissions regulations and, thus, extending the life of aircraft." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: You chose a topic that you know a lot about, which is a great route to take. Great approach to this answer!12. Because of the nature of business at Airbus we conduct background checks on employees. This includes criminal background, credit, and education verification checks. Are you willing to comply? Most companies in the aerospace and defense industry need to be very cautious about who they hire. There is a chance that much of the information you are going to access could be confidential and dangerous if put into the wrong hands. Assure the interviewer that you are most willing to comply with any form of background check they require. Example #1: "I am happy to comply with any background check required. My record is clean, and I have a strong credit history. I do not participate in drug use, either. You can be assured that if you hire me for this role with Airbus S.A.S., I will maintain a clean record." Example #2: "Yes, I am willing to comply with any background checks that you require. I understand the importance of background checks." Here is an anonymous answer example: "yes, absolutely, i am more than happy to comply with these checks. i am fortunate to have a clean record and will most definitely maintain this record while working with airbus." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: Perfectly said!13. Our goal is to be the top rated company in our industry. After researching Airbus, what do you think we could improve on? If Airbus S.A.S. asks for your feedback on what they could improve on it is best to keep your answer positive and light. Be sure to start, and finish, your suggestion with a compliment on what they are doing right. Example #1: "I have conducted a great deal of research on Airbus S.A.S. before meeting you today. I like your branding, and your online presence is strong. If I could make a suggestion, it would be to have a confirmation email sent to all online job applicants. I found the site a bit difficult to navigate and was not sure that my initial application went through successfully. Luckily, your HR department was amazing, and they called me just a few days later for a pre-screen interview." Example #2: "If you could improve on anything, I would recommend updating the website a bit more frequently and adding a blog for aerospace enthusiasts. Aerospace and defense is a popular topic for research, and you could gain many website visitors by putting a greater emphasis on your online content."14. We are looking for specific post-secondary education for this role. Tell me about your post-secondary education and how it will help you in this position with Airbus. It is vital that you check the job posting or job description provided by Airbus S.A.S. to ensure that you have the proper educational requirements. If you do not bring the desired degree or certification, be prepared to defend your education and remind them why you are still the best candidate for the job! If you have the desired education: "I saw on your job posting that you are looking for candidates with a degree in Aerospace Engineering. I have my degree in Aeronautical Engineering from an accredited University. My education will be helpful in this role as it is directly related to your company's focus." Example #1: "I saw on your job posting that you are looking for candidates with a degree in Aerospace Engineering. I have my degree in Aeronautical Engineering from an accredited University. My education will be helpful in this role as it is directly related to your company's focus." Example #2: "If you do not have the desired education: "I have a Graduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Although my degree does not boast a primary focus on Aerospace, I do have significant industry training outlined on my resume." Here is an anonymous answer example: "i am a 4th-year, aerospace engineering student at a renowned university. during my time here, through undertaking aeronautical and structures based subjects, my theoretical understanding of aircraft structures has increased significantly. this was solidified with hands-on experience as structures lead for one of the student-led projects, which served as a great experience and seemed to be what airbus desires for this specific job posting." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: Very good work tying in your experience with what Airbus is looking for in their job posting. You give a nice overview here. In your interview, be prepared to dive deeper into some of your school projects, what they have taught you, and how you will apply that to this role.15. Many of our industry competitors have their employees under a non-compete contract. Are you bound by any non-compete contract with your current employer? The interviewer would like to avoid any hurdles during the offer and negotiations stage that would prevent you from being successfully on-boarded. If Airbus S.A.S. is a direct competitor to your current or most recent employer then you should carefully review your employment contract to ensure nothing is hindering you. Be prepared to present the agreement in your late stage interview. If you are under a non-compete contract: "I am under a non-compete contract with Company ABC; however, it specifically states that I cannot share any trade secrets or recruit any of their current employees. There is nothing in the contract hindering me from joining Airbus S.A.S.." Example #1: "I am under a non-compete contract with Company ABC; however, it specifically states that I cannot share any trade secrets or recruit any of their current employees. There is nothing in the contract hindering me from joining Airbus S.A.S.." Example #2: "If you are not under a non-compete contract: "I am free to sign any offer letter that comes my way as there is no such contract with my current employer." Here is an anonymous answer example: "no, i am currently under no such contract with my employer." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: To the point, which is perfect.16. How do you like to be recognized for your accomplishments? We all like recognition in some way for our accomplishments in the workplace. Share with the interviewer how you would want credit for your hard work. Some options can be through bonus' or financial perks, public recognition, kind words, or promotion opportunities. Example #1: "I am very much an over-achiever and find that the best way for me to be recognized for a job well done is through words of kindness and recognition. I am easily encouraged, and the best reward for me is to know that my hard work makes a difference." Example #2: "I feel that most achievements are due to the great work of a team. If I gain recognition for my accomplishments, I always prefer that my team be a part of that recognition as well. Words of encouragement are always motivating." Here is an anonymous answer example: "i do put in a lot of effort into my work. however, although we may achieve individual accomplishments, no job is complete without the input of the entire team. thus, simple words of kindness and further encouragement for my team, and i would motivate us all to continue excelling in our work." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: Very nicely said! You sound like an incredibly thoughtful team player.17. Would you say you focus more on reasons why change will not work rather than adapting to new changes? When a change occurs in the workplace do you view it positively or do you resist the change? Talk to the interviewer about how you adapt to change. Example #1: "When a change occurs I initially try to balance the pros and the cons before reacting. Overall I would say that I prefer to focus on why the changes will work. I am a positive person by nature." Example #2: "Some changes can be tougher to accept immediately than others. Once I understand the motivation or the goal behind the change, I can easily adapt." Here is an anonymous answer example: "i believe, especially in the aerospace industry, that companies are always adapting to innovations and research. although adjusting to some changes may be extremely tough, you, as a company, must understand and take risks to determine whether such a change will be detrimental or positive. therefore i am not a pessimist and always look at the positive aspect of change." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: Looking for the positive inside of change is a very important quality, and you are right - especially in the aerospace industry! Great response.18. Who would you say inspires you? Show you preparedness for the interview by having an immediate answer. The only wrong answer here is, "I don't know." In most discussions, you will get one or two personal questions to see how you present yourself. You want to be able to articulate yourself well, responding politely and even passionately when appropriate. An excellent way to respond to this question is by sharing a story about a person who has been a positive influence on you and your career. If your dad motivated you to push through to finish your education, talk about how that impacted you. Who showed you that it was possible to overcome even the most significant obstacles? Who taught you the skills that brought you where you are today? Example #1: "I don't know." Example #2: "I have always been inspired by my grandfather. He is the person who gave me an initial interest in the aerospace field. He is the hardest working person I know, and he taught me how important it is to read and continually grow. Because of him, I always seek to learn."19. Looking at your resume, it seems there are certain skills necessary for this position that do not stand out. How do you think you will be able to compensate for these missing skills? Most job descriptions will have a long list of requirements. Hiring managers are aware that, to find a candidate that checks ALL of the boxes, can sometimes be impossible. If you are missing some of the "nice to have" or even the "must have" skills listed in the job description, do not fret! Be open about your shortcomings and discuss with the interviewer how you plan to compensate for those. Example #1: "nice to have" Example #2: "I would be happy to clarify my experience in any skills. Could you tell me which skills you feel I am missing for this position?" (Once the interviewer responds, you can overcome that objection by better highlighting that specific experience, or discussing a related skill that you DO have.)" Here is an anonymous answer example: "what i believe makes me stand out is my initiative and drive. whenever i face difficulty or lack skills in some areas, i devote much extra time outside of studies and work to develop these skills further and ensure i am the most capable candidate for this job. in this aspect, could you please point out which skills i am missing for this position?" In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: Very well done! You put a spotlight on your top skills and then ask the interviewer for further clarification. This will prevent you from guessing what the interviewer is thinking.20. Tell me about an achievement you are proud of. What did you find challenging about it? Sometimes a great achievement is completing a difficult task and overcoming the obstacles that come up along the way. When faced with an impossible deadline and regular interruptions that cause you to have to switch gears every thirty minutes, completing a simple project can seem like climbing a mountain! You have a couple of options for how to approach this: Discuss an example of when you overcame obstacles to achieve something great, or share a significant accomplishment or award you received and talk about what was challenging about it. Either way, you are showing your determination and focus on reaching your goal. Think of a situation that highlights your strengths and qualities that will be helpful for the job for which you are interviewing. Try to keep it as career relevant as possible. Example #1: Example #2: "One achievement that I am proud of is graduating University as an honors student while still working full time. This accomplishment showed me that I could dedicate myself to my career, and reach the goals that I set for myself. It felt great to accomplish so much and earn recognition for my dedication."21. How do you like to encourage ideas in others? Encouragement to others is a great skill to possess. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to encourage creative ideas in your team members. Example #1: "I like to encourage other people to be creative in their thinking and present ideas to the company, no matter how off the wall they may seem. Some of our most successful employees are ones who are confident in their ability to bring forward their unique ideas. I encourage participation through an open door policy and strong praise for those who show initiative." Example #2: "I encourage others by praising their great ideas and helping them to continue being their best self. Noticing the small things is important. People want to feel like their contribution is important to the overall workplace success." Here is an anonymous answer example: "i always seek to encourage someone that has a desire to learn to share their ideas on specific problems and what can be done in their opinion to fix them. many people are often too shy or not confident and thus refuse to share their ideas. i was once facing the same problem due to shyness. however, we must input confidence into every one to make them understand that their input is valuable." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: You show skills and characteristics that make an excellent leader. It is a fantastic answer.22. If you were given a choice, which work related task would you leave for last? Why? Often we will leave the tasks that we don't like for last, in the act of procrastination. Other times, we will mindfully move responsibility for last because we feel that it makes the most sense. Help the interviewer to determine which personality type you are by answering this question. Example #1: "If given a choice, I would leave my documentation tasks for last. I say this because I like to spend my time with my customers so anything to do with documentation during business hours - I feel takes away from my client-facing tasks. I do understand the importance of it, though." Example #2: "I would leave my email to last! I find that once I am in my email, it's a never-ending whirlwind of small replies and to-dos. For this reason, and to remain focused and productive, I will schedule my email time periodically throughout the day."23. How do you define success? What does success mean to you? Tell the interviewer how you see progress and be sure to tie your answer into the success that you plan to bring to this particular position, should you be offered the role. Example #1: "I define success by my ability to reach the goals that are set out for me. On a personal level, the things I wish to achieve in my life. On a work level, the targets that are set out for me as well as the professional development that I seek." Example #2: "Success is the completion of any task you set out to do or any goal that you set for yourself. Success receives interpretation in many different ways but I know I have been successful when I feel that relief and contentment only accomplishment can bring." Here is an anonymous answer example: "i define success as the ability for one to identify a problem, work to formulate a solution, and complete the task at hand in the most efficient way. some jobs are a lot more complicated than others, and some people may have many different responsibilities, but in the end, success is a result of hard work and struggle." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: It seems you have a well-organized and methodical approach to reaching your successes. What has been the most exciting success in your life recently? It may be nice to include a personal story.24. How have you demonstrated leadership ability when you were not in a leadership role? This question challenges you to think about how you act as a leader in your daily life. Even if you're not leading a team, you can still demonstrate the qualities of a leader! You can give an example of how you coached a coworker who was having difficulty preparing for a big presentation. Maybe you gave them confidence in their strengths by encouraging them, or perhaps you offered some helpful hints. You can be a motivator and a confident communicator in any situation at work! Share how you have positively influenced others through actions you've taken to support and motivate others at work. Example #1: "I demonstrate leadership qualities every chance that I get! I believe that everyone can be a great leader if given the right environment and opportunity." Example #2: "I naturally take on a leader and mentor-ship type of role with my co-workers. In one instance, I had a new coworker who was having some troubles fitting in. I took her out for lunch and talked to her a bit about the workplace culture and semantics surrounding the various departments. I wanted her to stay and enjoy her employment with us, so I took the responsibility of ensuring she was settling in well. I believe there are always opportunities for leadership - you have to keep your eyes open."25. How often do you think of innovations that will improve your work performance? Coming up with ideas to increase productivity, efficiency and save time and energy is a great way to make an impact on your coworkers and the company. Having the ability to see problems as opportunities is a skill that can make you an essential asset to a company. Think of a time you had a chance to make a difference by making a change in a process or procedure. Example #1: " I would say that at least once a month I have an idea, big or small, that I present to my manager. My most recent innovation was (give a detailed example)." Example #2: "I am always thinking of new ways to increase productivity and improve the methods I use to complete my work."26. Looking at your resume, I see multiple gaps between employments, what were you doing during those gaps? There are many reasons for having a gap in your resume, and it's best, to be honest about the intentions. Example #1: "I had a gap from 2009-2010 while I was on maternity leave and then another for six months in 2015 while I cared for an ailing parent. During that time I was vigilant in keeping up to date on the market so that my knowledge did not become redundant." Example #2: "If your employment gap is due to illness: "I took a medical hiatus between 2008 and 2008 under doctor's orders. I am fully recovered and have had zero health concerns since."27. Do you believe it is possible to be a good team member yet disagree with the leader? The interviewer wants to know that you can be diplomatic in the workplace, even when you may not agree with your leader. Show the interviewer that it is possible for you to be a good team member, yet disagree with the leader from time to time. Explain that you believe everyone is entitled to their own professional opinion, yet capable of maintaining respect for each other at the same time. Show that even if you disagree with the final decision they make, you support the direction the team is heading. Example #1: "I think that it is possible to be a great team member, even when disagreeing with the leader. It's all in how you maintain respect for each other despite the difference in opinion." Example #2: "Yes, I think it is possible! What makes a great team member is not that they agree with everything but the level of respect and positive thought that goes into the person's communication style. It's okay to disagree; however, you have to communicate your thoughts professionally." Here is an anonymous answer example: "absolutely. when you are working for a company alongside a team, you must only focus on the task at hand. even though you may disagree with someone, you must show them respect and professionally communicate your thoughts." In response to the anonymous answer example, here is what Rachelle Enns said: Respect and clear communication are of utmost importance. It's also important that you would feel comfortable bringing any concern or ideas to your leader. Solid response.28. Are you actively interviewing with other companies, and are you close to offer stage with anyone? The interviewer is looking for answers to a few points when asking this question. 1. The company wants to know what kind of timeline is present before you are scooped up by another organization. 2. They want to know how discerning you are with your job applications. 3. They want to know the types of roles that interest you. 4. They want to hear that they are your top choice. You can certainly discuss your search but avoid giving too many details. Give the interviewer enough to satisfy the question without revealing your entire search. Some mystery is okay here. Example #1: "I recently started my search and had found some interesting job postings related to my degree; however, your role is the position I am most enthusiastic about." Example #2: "If you are not interviewing: "I just started my search, so I am not in final interviews with any other company. I am aggressively seeking; however."29. How do you manage your time? What tools do you use to stay on task and meet deadlines? How do you prioritize when everything demands your attention at once? Think about the ways you manage your projects and daily tasks. Do you keep a calendar? Do you set reminders? Sometimes a to-do list is helpful when organizing your time because it can help you prioritize what needs to happen next. Paying attention to which tasks require the most time and which ones bring the most value are ways you can pick and choose what needs to happen in your schedule. What are some ways you have found work best for you to manage your time at work? Example #1: "I will determine which project requires my attention by the number of hours we are behind and then the project size. I am comfortable delegating tasks when needed, but I am also aware that these times will require an additional commitment of hours from me. Never have I under delivered on a deadline." Example #2: "Time management has been something that I have worked on improving since my time in University. I set goals for myself and attached a time deadline for those goals. Also, I am diligent with the use of my calendar and have a great scheduling app on my phone that I refer to as well."
