Why should we hire you?
Expedia explains that throughout your interview, they will attempt to assess "Your compatibility and how you'd add to our culture, your potential success in the role and impact in the longer term, your approach to mitigating challenging situations," with the aim of better understanding how well your work style complements their values. A few more of their noteworthy values are "Force simplicity. Drive clarity and create momentum. Focus on impactful work. Include consciously. Bring people in. Drive success for everyone around you. Seek out diverse ideas and experiences to unlock better outcomes for travelers and our company. Go Get What's Next."
Before going into your interview, have a clear understanding of how you fit their mold. Familiarize yourself with how they describe their people and their culture and then examine yourself and how you fit that description. Expedia Group offers similar advice on their careers site. "Take some time to reflect on your past experience and be prepared to share highlights. Life at Expedia Group is an endless adventure, full of opportunities to grow and learn, while also being a part of an open culture where everyone belongs. We're always hungry for a better future. We have big dreams, for ourselves, for Expedia Group, and for the possibilities opened up by travel. We're passionate about travel and its transformative power. We see opportunities instead of obstacles and love the journey as much as the destination. We're a vibrant collective of travelers, learners, creators and experience-makers who value being part of the team while staying true to ourselves."
"Because I feel like I would fit right in. I have always said that adventure is where you find it. You can have a little adventure collaborating with a colleague in a cubicle, or venturing left in Tangier, not knowing where that side street will take you. I am a great communicator, and coincidentally, driving clarity is also one of my values, except I always say push for clarity. Same with go get what's next, except I say, keep going for what's around the corner. I love challenging ideas and the next frontier is just outside one's comfort zone. I love to travel, team collaboration, forward-thinking, and adventure."
