  • 13. Do you feel performance should be rewarded over experience?

      How to Answer

      The interviewer would like to know your thoughts on being paid based on your work performance, versus being compensated solely on your years of experience. As the workforce landscape changes, more employees are requesting compensation based on delivered results. Think about how you would rather be compensated; tenure vs. results. Share your thoughts with the interviewer and support your answer with an example, if possible.

      "As a manager of people myself, I feel that both performance and experience should be weighed when deciding compensation, pay increases, and promotions. You want to ensure that you compensate your highest performers appropriately but that their growth is stable and manageable in the long term. Could you share with me how Apple rewards stellar employee performance?"

      "In a perfect world, an employee with both work experience and performance would get the job. If I had to choose one over the other, I would choose performance. The reason is that work performance shows an employee's drive, focus, and commitment to his or her duties in a role. The employee takes their job seriously and cares about their contribution to a team."

      Lauren's Feedback

      You have a great premise, but note that the question relates to reward versus landing the job. I altered the language slightly to address the slight discrepancy.
      "In a perfect world, an employee would be rewarded for their experience and performance. I, however, believe performance should be rewarded over experience. Work performance displays an employee's ability to remain steadfast in their drive, focus, and commitment. A strong performance indicates Personal Responsibility and a high level of care for their work and contribution to the team."
