What do you know about corporate governance practices in the metals and mining industry?
The interviewer wants to understand the depth of your experience and knowledge of the rules of engagement in the metals and mining industry. Show the interviewer that you have exposure to corporate governance but avoid giving a long-winded answer. Briefly state the level of exposure you have had in the past and consider how it will add value to Glencore Australia Pty Ltd.
"Corporate rules and practices were governed heavily in my last three positions. In all three positions, our Board of Directors created Corporate Governance guidelines that strongly supported the integrity of our operations. I believe Corporate Governance practices always need to align with the stockholders' best interests. Corporate Governance should also provide oversight of the company's accounting and financial reporting processes."
"As I am new to this industry, I do not have a vast amount of knowledge when it comes to corporate governance. With that said, I have started to study these, using government websites as a resource. If you have any suggestions for me on what to study, I am very open to suggestions."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

I don't know about it. But I am willing to learn new things about the mining industry. Do you have any suggestion for me to broaden my knowledge about it?
Rachelle's Feedback
Try thinking about how your past work history could relate to the mining industry. To say you don't know anything would leave a negative impression on the interviewer. I have a suggested edit, below.
"I have started reading some articles on the mining industry; however, I have a lot to learn. I am eager to know more so if you have any recommended resources, I am open to suggestions."
