QUESTION 23 OF 32

How did you bring value to your last position?

This question is similar to 'Why are you the best candidate?' Think about the strengths and skills that made you an asset in your last position. Maybe you influenced changes that saved the company money. Perhaps you were the top grossing salesperson on the floor. Think of your strengths in action! If you are reliable, talk about how consistent your work has been and how you are in constant support for coworkers. If you have a strong work ethic, share how you accomplished a project in the midst of harsh obstacles.

"There were several ways I was able to bring value to my last position. First, I successfully exceeded each sales goal in my department. Second, I was able to motivate other members of my team and share my sales techniques with them. Third, I introduced two new procedures to the sales manager that helped us eliminate downtime between sales calls."

Anonymous Answer

I've never had a job before, but I always excelled in my Math Support and my Spanish classes, so when I would finish my work, I would help my classmates to do their homework or quiz corrections, etc.

Rachelle's Feedback

Leaning on examples from your time at school is a great way to answer these questions, as someone new to their career. Your answer shows the value you brought as a keen student but also as a peer/classmate. Nice work.
