At Hasbro we seek to hire those who have a true passion and interest in our industry. What excites you most about what we do?

"I've had a keen interest in cinema, the arts, and entertainment since I was a child. My curiosity is always present when it comes to changes and current events in this industry. I follow your company blog and keep a close eye on other industry related publications and trends from online sources."

The interviewer wants to be assured that you have a clear passion for what they do at Hasbro. You should be prepared to discuss your industry involvement or how you stay up to date on the industry's hot topics. Show the interviewer that you will be a fully engaged team member, if hired.

"I am most excited about the opportunity to work with Hasbro because you are a leader in the market with a passion for growing your employees into industry professionals. This truly would be a dream job for me!"

"I am most excited about the opportunity to work with Hasbro because you are a leader in the market with a passion for not only your products but also your employees. I worked there for a few months in 2017 and would love to experience the amazing culture firsthand again. This truly would be a dream job for me!"

Have you been exposed to the customer experience at Hasbro? If so, tell me one highlight and one area you feel we fell short.

"I have been a customer in the past and the factor that stuck out most to me was that your employees all seemed to be really happy. It made me want to work here! If I could offer any opportunity for improvement, I would say that your online experience could be a bit more streamlined for mobile users."

It's very important that you have some sort of personal experience to share with the interviewer, in regards to your exposure to Hasbro. Talk about the impression you had, and your overall customer experience. Keep your response positive, and your constructive feedback light.

"I am a regular customer here, and my experiences have all been great. That is one of the reasons I chose to apply here! I cannot make any comments on where you have fallen short during my visits but one suggestion I do have is to make your phone directory a touch simpler for the customers who call in. Attention spans can be short, and the less options, the better."

"I think it's wonderful that there are a variety of skin tones, hair colors, and eye colors represented across the Baby Alive brand. However, I wasn't able to find a Baby Alive doll that looked Asian. With nearly 20 million Asian Americans living in the U.S., I would expect that they would be represented. Representation matters. Also, I had the pleasure of experiencing Hascon with my family a few years ago - we all had a blast."

Hasbro has many industry competitors. Why do you want to work for us?

"I chose to apply to Hasbro because your industry reputation is the best of anyone in your market. Your online employee reviews are very positive as well. Through my research on Hasbro I came across a common theme of respect and strong values which I greatly appreciate. I would be very proud to work here!"

The interviewer is looking for specific examples on why you are choosing Hasbro as opposed to any of their competitors. Choose some reasons that will include the company values, the potential growth opportunity, and the sense of pride you would feel if you were hired on with Hasbro. The last thing the interviewer would want to hear is that their opportunity does not stand out or that this is 'just any job' to you.

"I feel that Hasbro would nurture my desire for growth and prepare me for career advancement with the appropriate training."

We have put a lot of time and effort into creating a great workplace culture at Hasbro. How will you contribute to our positive team environment?

"After researching Hasbro I believe that your workplace culture is best described as lighthearted, energetic, and supportive. These are my strongest personality traits so I do see a very strong alignment between your company culture and what I would bring here, if hired."

The interviewer wants to be sure that you will be a strong fit for the workplace culture at Hasbro. Be prepared to give examples of the ways in which you will contribute, and fit in with, their positive team environment. You can learn more about the culture at Hasbro by researching them online, taking note of the tone in their job postings, and reading the 'About Us' and 'News' sections on their website.

"I am a very positive person who is always willing to lend a hand, and go over and above the expectations on me. What I bring to the workplace will fit in really well with the culture at Hasbro. I appreciate that you have such a positive team environment."

"After experiencing Hasbro's culture firsthand when I worked there temporarily in 2017, I believe that the workplace culture is best described as creative, energetic, and supportive. These are some of my strongest personality traits so I do see a very strong alignment between your company's culture and what I would bring here if hired."

Everybody we hire at Hasbro should have strong customer service abilities. Give me 3 words that best describe your customer service style.

"Customer service is obviously at the center of your success at Hasbro. I look forward to contributing to your success! I would describe my customer service style as attentive, patient, and enthusiastic."

Whether you have worked directly in customer service, or not, the interviewer wants to be assured that your perspective on customer services aligns well with the values at Hasbro. Be sure to research the organization's customer service attitude so that you can be prepared with answers that will resonate with the interviewer.

"Additional words that could describe your customer service style: - Empathetic - Caring - Concerned - Patient - Thorough - Authentic"

"Enthusiastic, attentive, patient."

Since Hasbro has an invested interest in the entertainment industry I would love to know - what do you do for entertainment on your off time?

"I love to work hard and play hard! This year I decided to try some new forms of entertainment. I have taken up mountain climbing as well as salsa dance lessons. These experiences have been an immense amount of fun and have taken me out of my comfort zone."

It's definitely okay to add a personal touch to your interview if you are asked a question like this. Show the interviewer a bit about your personality. This is a great time to give a unique answer which will make you stand out from other candidates. A lot of people will answer by saying they like to hang out with family and friends. If YOU talk about that time you went parasailing - you'll definitely be delivering a more memorable interview!

"I like to dabble in a variety of fun things such as cooking lessons, photography courses, and sip and paint nights. I think that it's important to experience a variety of entertainment types to get to know your personal likes and interests on a deeper level."

"I enjoy being active and being outside, especially with my two dogs, Ruby and Cali. I grew up snowboarding with my family in the winter and bike riding in the summer and still enjoy those activities to this day. I also love to sit back and watch a good movie or TV show. Friends and The Office are probably my all-time favorites."

We think it is important to have a streamlined hiring process. How have you found the hiring process at Hasbro so far? Do you have any suggestions?

"I have experienced faster candidate screening processes in the past but I am sure you are doing your best with the amount of applications you receive."

Great companies will always be looking for ways to streamline their hiring process and improve the candidate experience. You can be honest with the interviewer on your experience; however, keep your reply positive. If you have found the process to be slow and frustrating, you could express that by saying "I have experienced faster candidate screening processes in the past but I am sure you are doing your best with the amount of applications you receive." This would be a much better response than saying "Your process is very slow so I would work on fixing that."

"I have found Hasbro to be very professional throughout this process and have found the experience to be a positive one."

"I have found Hasbro to be very professional throughout this process and have found the experience to be a positive one. I appreciate that the process is thorough and you can get to know me well. It also gives me the opportunity to get to know Hasbro better as well."

We offer a multitude of career paths at Hasbro. How would you like to see your career grow with us?

"While researching Hasbro I came across a job posting for a Corporate Events Manager. The position caught my eye immediately and I was excited to see that Hasbro offers exciting roles on all levels. This is a position I would love to grow into over time."

An easy way to become familiar with the growth avenues available at Hasbro would be to search their online job board or Google for previous job openings. If there are any job postings that catch your eye, you should research what it would take to be qualified for the role. Display to the interviewer that you can see a long term fit with Hasbro by expressing your interest in the potential growth.

"Ideally, I would love to see myself growing into a more prominent leadership role within your organization. My career interests align very nicely with your company's goals which helps me to see a great long term fit here."

"Ideally, I would love to see myself growing into a managerial role at Hasbro. My career interests align very nicely with your company's goals which helps me to see a great long-term fit here."

Why do you think that working for Hasbro will be an improvement over your current situation? Why are you looking for a new job?

"I have been seeking a change within a company who puts their client experience first, treats their employees with a fair attitude and has a reputation that I can brag about. My current company has been good to me the past 3 years; however, with recent restructuring within management I no longer feel it's the most conducive environment for me. I am really excited about what I've seen from Hasbro so far and think this would be a fantastic place to work."

The interviewer wants to be assured that their position will be a long-term fit for you rather than just a band-aid, short term fix from your restlessness in your current job. Be careful to avoid speaking negatively about your current place of employment and focus on what Hasbro will offer you, why you're excited about their organization, and how you see a long term with with them.

"I have been passively seeking a new position for quite some time and haven't jumped on anything yet because I want to make sure it's the right fit. I feel that this job is right for me, at this point in my career, because it offers an opportunity for me to utilize my recent education in business while giving me an opportunity to advance in my knowledge within the entertainment industry."

"I have been passively looking for a job for some time now but wanted to wait for the right fit. I became more active in my job search once I was required to commute to Boston again. I left my job at _______ in November because I could not commute to Boston for one more day and wanted to focus fully on finding a job I was passionate about."

Being the best in your industry is great but it also brings its own challenges. What do you foresee as the biggest challenge for you in this role with Hasbro?

"I believe the biggest challenge for me will be to learn your internal P.O.S system. From what I understand, it is a robust system. I do consider myself very tech savvy so I am confident that I will pick it up quickly."

The interviewer would like to see that you are not just wearing rose-colored glasses, thinking this job will be perfect 100% of the time. They want to ensure that realistic expectations are set right away. Talk to the interviewer about a challenge you think you may face in this role. Be sure to complete your answer by also discussing how you plan to overcome that challenge! A challenge could include learning a new industry, learning a new software program, being in a customer facing role again, etc.

"Because I am newer to your industry, I feel that the biggest challenge will be to learn the proper lingo and verbiage used here. I look forward to learning, though!"

"I think that the biggest challenge will be learning the different facets of the position. I know that I'm qualified and I have the skills to bring a lot to this position, but it will all be new to me."

How do you like to be recognized for your accomplishments?

"I am very much an over-achiever and find that the best way for me to be recognized for a job well done is to be given words of kindness and recognition. I am easily encouraged and the best reward for me is to know that my hard work is being noticed."

We all like to be recognized in some way for our accomplishments in the workplace. Share with the interviewer how you would like to be recognized for your hard work. Through gifts? Financial perks? Public recognition? Kind words? Title promotions?

"I am a highly competitive person who is compensation driven. I like to be recognized for my accomplishments through monetary bonus' or contests where the stakes are high."

"I am very much an over-achiever and find that the best way for me to be recognized for a job well done is to be given words of kindness and recognition. I am easily encouraged and the best reward for me is to know that my hard work is being noticed."

What sources do you look to when you need to solve a complicated problem?

"When I am faced with a complicated problem, I will look to the resources that my current company has provided me. The answer is almost always in there. If it's more of a moral dilemma vs. a knowledge based dilemma, I will ask my supervisor for his thoughts and opinion since I value him as a mentor and expert in our industry."

The interviewer wants to know that you are able to think outside the box, or even ask for help, when you are stuck on a complicated problem.Maybe you look to a mentor or boss for advice. Perhaps you have handbooks, manuals and systems you turn to for help. Offer some relevant examples based on your industry. If you work in the medical field, you may turn to textbooks, online research, colleagues or even patient's history to find the right solution. If you work in customer service, you may ask the customer what they need in order to find the best way to solve the problem. Show the interviewer that you are knowledgeable and equipped to handle these types of scenarios.

"In order to solve a complex issue, I will reach out to a manager or mentor from a previous role to ask them how they've handled such issues in the past. I am always ready to dive back into our handbook, but these types of scenarios are often not covered there, which is why I really value a human, experiential approach. I know that there are so many folks in the industry who have so much to teach me and have probably already "been-there-done-that", so I love to utilize them as a resource."

"At my most recent position, when I needed to solve a very complicated problem, I would present my best plan of action to my bosses for their input as they were often privy to information I am not."

Hasbro is looking for great problem solvers. When a major problem arises, what is your first reaction?

"When a major problem arises, my first instinct is to take a step back and absorb what just happened. I then go into "

The interviewer wants to know if your reactions to problems reflect maturity and professionalism. How you react will greatly determine how you fit with their existing team. Perhaps your computer crashes and you realize you may have just lost all of your hard work. Or maybe you are limited on time and have a deadline rapidly approaching. Demonstrate to the interviewer that you take a very methodical approach to problem solving, rather than reacting in an impulsive way when a problem occurs.

"I have taught myself to become much calmer with my first reactions when problems arise. Now, I will step back and review my options for solving the problem rather than allow myself to become frustrated."

"After working at a law firm for over three years, I have experienced many fire drills. I have taught myself to become much calmer with my first reactions when problems, such as rush projects, arise. Now, I will step back and review my options for solving the problem and formulate a plan to tackle it head-on rather than allow myself to become overwhelmed."

Have you ever taken a role in a company that hasn't fit into your long-term career plans?

"Yes, you will see that from March to May 2007 I held a role as a Business Development Representative with Company XYZ. This particular role was not what I was expecting and had little to do with management and more to do with cold calling onto C-suite level clients. This wasn't nurturing my plan to grow the management side of my career, so I resigned after just 2 months. Luckily I landed a wonderful job immediately after and grew with that company for the following 6 years."

Most people have taken on a position that was not a fit for them in the end. It's best top openly discuss any positions that you have held that were not a fit. This will assist the interviewer in being able to properly place you within their organization. Be sure to end your answer on a positive note, discussing how you bounced back from the misstep.

"I have been fortunate to make very well-researched employment decisions so far in my career. I ask a lot of questions in my interviews and take the time to review all contracts before signing them."

"LL - learned all I could learn, not passionate, etc."

How do you get along with others at work?

"I get along great with my coworkers. I try to maintain a positive attitude and be supportive, whether I am offering to assist someone who is overwhelmed, or if I am taking time to listen to someone who is having a bad day."

The interviewer wants to gauge if you can maintain healthy relationships in the workplace. What are the dynamics of your working relationships? Think about what you enjoyed about some of your relationships with past coworkers. Good communication, sense of humor, and support are all great qualities that make co-worker relationships healthy.

"My previous managers have often commented on my ability to get along well with others in the workplace. I enjoy getting to know my colleagues, understanding what makes them tick, and what they value most inside and outside of the workplace."

"I get along great with others at work. I treat everyone I meet the same way - with respect, kindness and compassion - and I know that many others at Hasbro operate with that same philosophy, which is why I am so excited about this opportunity."

How do you handle communicating bad news to a fellow worker or subordinate?

"I certainly do not enjoy communicating bad news to a co-worker but I do have experience in doing so. When this type of task is required of me, I make sure to practice empathy. Truth is always key, so I will be honest and clear when communicating the news. For instance, if I am to terminate someone's employment I will not sugar coat the reasons why. It's best they know so that they can learn from the experience."

One of the toughest parts of communication can be delivering bad news to people that you work with and care about. Whether it is delivering a less than positive work review or terminating someone - it doesn't come easy. Assure the interviewer that you are able to handle this type of task in a clear, concise, and professional manner.

"Bad news should be delivered quickly but with empathy. I don't enjoy delivering disappointing news but I am confident in my ability to deliver it in a tactful way."

"In-person, kind, considerate."

What type of work environment allows you to be the most productive?

"I understand that your work environment is very collaborative. I come from a similar environment and found that I could be very productive when there was the "

Are you able to be productive in any environment? Are there particular types of environments that you find distracting? Discuss your preferences with the interviewer. Be sure to research the type of environment that is offered in this position prior to the interview.

"I am able to focus well in most environments and am quite self-driven and disciplined. So long as the overall vibe is collaborative and positive, I can be very productive."

"I am able to work well in almost any environment. I don't get distracted easily, so working in a busy office or working from home doesn't take away from my productivity. As long as the overall vibe is collaborative and positive, I am very productive."

When you suffer a setback, how does that emotionally affect you and your work?

"Experiencing a setback is always disappointing, and can be a bit disheartening, but I understand that it happens from time to time. If I experience a major setback I will take a few moments to debrief with my manager and discuss what I could have done differently. Then, I move on!"

Everyone handles the stress and disappointment of setbacks differently. Discuss with the interviewer how you typically cope with setbacks in the workplace.

"Setbacks happen for a reason and they do not affect me emotionally in the least. I am a very pragmatic thinker and stay focused despite the challenges that come my way."

"Experiencing a setback is always disappointing, and can be a bit disheartening, but I understand that it happens from time to time. If I experience a setback, I will take a few moments to debrief with my manager and discuss what I could have done differently. Then, I move on!Example: In my previous job, one major project I was responsible for was updating over 150 attorney bios for the company's new website launch. I experienced a setback when the project deadline was approaching and I was still having no luck getting in touch with the last attorney on my list. I had already emailed her and followed up 7-8 times over the course of 10 months reminding her of the deadline she needed to review the edits. I decided to give her a call to see if I could get her help to complete the task at hand. I was screamed at over the phone and told to send her an email with the subject line reading "THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING ON THANKSGIVING." I responded with a positive attitude and thanked her for her time. In the end, she reviewed what needed to be reviewed and I completed my project successfully and on time."

What was the most difficult part about your training or education?

"The most difficult part of my education was my Statistics course. I overcame this challenge by hiring a tutor. I ended up with a A but it was definitely the result of a lot of work and studying."

Share a challenge you experienced in one of your classes or training courses. Maybe the class was difficult because it wasn't one of your strengths. Math and science courses might be tricky for you or maybe the professor was real challenge. Focus on what you did to overcome it, rather than placing your attention on the issue.

"The most difficult thing for me was the level of homework and study time required. I had always worked while going to high school, but I had to reduce my hours to make time for studying."

"The most difficult aspect of my education was getting used to the amount of homework and study time required as a Freshman. I had always worked since the age of 15, but I had to reduce my hours at my part-time job that year to make time for studying."

How do you like to encourage ideas in others?

"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."

Encouragement to others is a great skill to possess. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to encourage creative ideas in your team members.

"Whether I am training formally or not, I am always the go-to for mentor-ship. It's something that I am really passionate about. I love to see others succeed and help them do so through creating a comfortable learning environment."

"I love to see others succeed and help them do so by fostering a comfortable environment of open communication. I am a nonjudgemental team player."

If you were given a choice, which work related task would you leave for last? Why?

"If I were given a choice, I would leave my documentation tasks for last. I say this because I like to spend my time selling and hitting targets so anything to do with documentation during business hours - I feel takes away from my business development tasks. I do understand the importance of it, though."

Often times we will leave the tasks that we don't like for last in an act of procrastination. Other times, we will mindfully leave a task 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 clearly.

"I tend to leave the hardest assignments for last. It is not because I dread them, but because I can make a lot more people happy by completing their small requests first and getting them back to work."

"I tend to leave independent long-term assignments for last. It is not because I dread them, but because I can please many more people by completing their small requests first and getting them back to work. I believe responsiveness is very important no matter what the job may be."

Stressful situations can arise at Hasbro. How do you handle stress?

"I handle stress very well and when you call my references, they will attest to this fact. When I am under pressure on the job, I focus on the task at hand and make sure to not get distracted. Staying on deadline is very helpful and I will delegate when necessary to alleviate some stress."

Are you someone who is able to handle stress on the job? How do you manage the stressful times? Talk to the interviewer about your ability to manage pressure in the workplace.

"Stress is part of any demanding job and I embrace it to the fullest. I take good care of myself personally and prioritize my workload to maintain a healthy balance in my stress levels."

"After working at a law firm for over three years, I have experienced stress at work on a daily basis. I have taught myself to become much calmer when stressful situations arise. Now, I will step back and review my options for solving the problem and formulate a plan to tackle it head-on rather than allow myself to become overwhelmed."

Tell me about your experience in this field.

"I bring all of the experience that you are looking for in filling this position, such as A, B, and C. In addition to being an expert user in A, I also bring 5 years' experience in B."

It is very important to become acquainted with the job description prior to your interview. When the interviewer asks this question be sure to highlight the related experience that you bring.

"I have 8 years of industry experience with Company ABC and XYZ. Both experiences taught me a great deal about this field and I am excited to continue my career in this industry with your organization."

On a scale from 1 to 10, how honest are you?

"I would love to give myself a 10/10 for honesty but truthfully - nobody is 100% honest all of the time. I will give myself an 9 because I always do my best to be as honest as possible."

Do you feel that you are a very honest person or do you have room for growth? This could be a tricky question as nobody is always 100% honest. Answer to the best of your ability and back your reply by speaking about your personal ethics.

"I value honesty and strive to be a trustworthy person in all situations. I would rate myself a 10/10."

"I value honesty and strive to be a trustworthy person in all situations. I would give myself a 10/10."

Do you prefer to work in a team based position or individually?

"I have found, in the past, that I work best in an individually driven environment; however, I can certainly be productive in a team based setting as well."

In which situation are you the happiest and most productive? Talk to the interviewer about your preference when it comes to teamwork or working individually. Be sure to avoid pigeonholing yourself into one particular scenario (IE: I only like to work by myself).

"I can work successfully in either. I am comfortable sharing the workload and responsibility with others, or hunkering down and getting it all done myself."

"I would prefer to work in a position that is a blend of the two. One of the things I loved the most about my last job was the fact that I had a lot of freedom to work independently, however, nearly every project I worked on required some sort of team effort. I enjoyed collaborating with multiple people in and outside of the Marketing department. I enjoy being a member of a team and being able to bounce ideas off others, but I also thrive working individually."

What has made you ready for this responsibility with Hasbro?

"I have spent the past 8 months reading leadership books and have taken 2 leadership workshops in that time frame. I have never felt more ready to take on the responsibility of leading a team."

Discuss with the interviewer all of the things you have done to prepare you for this particular opportunity.

"I believe that my recent education has prepared me for this responsibility. Not only by giving me the knowledge that I need in the entertainment industry, but also the connections and network."

"I believe that my education at Fordham combined with my variety of work experience has fully prepared me to take on the responsibility involved with this position at Hasbro. As you can see on my resume, I've dabbled in a lot of different areas of Marketing, but I really honed my Marketing skills at my last job at ____. I worked on customized, client-focused pitches and proposals on a daily basis and constantly had the client at the forefront of my mind. I know how to deliver what the client is looking for. I believe the skills I've developed there would be a very nice fit for this role."

What is your definition of hard work?

"For me, hard work means that I did what I could that day to exceed expectations. I come to work early and stay late if needed and I go over and above the requirements without hesitation."

Hard work and dedication can be interpreted differently by everyone. To one person, another person's hard work could seem like slacking. Talk to the interviewer about how you interpret a hard day's work.

"I know that I have worked hard if, at the end of the day, I can be proud of the work that I completed."

"For me, hard work means that I did what I could that day to exceed expectations. I am willing to come to work early and stay late if necessary. I go above and beyond the requirements without hesitation. A couple of months ago at my last job, I won the "Above and Beyond" award out of 30+ people on the Marketing team as a recognition of my hard work on a difficult project."

How can we motivate you on the job?

"I am best motivated through words of praise and recognition for a job well done. I do like to know that my efforts are being noticed. In my current position we have a leader board and I do like that concept because it creates a healthy bit of personal competition in me as well."

Every employer should know how each staff member is best motivated. Talk to the interviewer about the variety of ways in which you are best motivated on the job.

"I am motivated by knowing something about the end customer and being able to relate to them as a person. A personal touch is always helpful for me."

"I am best motivated through words of praise and recognition for a job well done. I do like to occasionally be reminded that my efforts are being noticed."

What decisions did you routinely make in your last position?

"In my previous position I was quite often required to make decisions on staff scheduling as well as hiring and terminating. I feel that role prepared me quite well for a position like this one. I have well-honed decision making skills and my intuition, when it comes to hiring, has been elevated."

The interviewer would like to know more about the types of decisions you are accustomed to making in the workplace. The way you answer this questions will give them a good idea of your level of experience, seniority, and ability to handle the decision making requirements in this potential position. If the job you are interviewing for requires you to be decisive and quick on your feet, you will need to be able to provide examples of how you have done these things in the past. If you worked in tech support, you were faced with problems that you needed to find solutions for on a regular basis. If you worked as a sales rep, you may have needed to know how to negotiate and make decisions on prices and benefits you can give your customers. You may have been faced with decisions that became so routine you didn't think twice! Refer to these types of decisions and be sure to highlight how these types of decisions have prepared you for a role like this one.

"I regularly made decisions regarding pricing and discounts for customers. I had a standard set of criteria that I created, and I tried to let that guide me for consistency."

How competitive are you?

"I think that on a scale of 1-10, I would rate myself as a 7 when it comes to being competitive. I love a great competition in the workplace when it comes to sales goals and breaking through last years' numbers. I am not competitive to the point that it would hurt my team or colleagues."

Being a competitive person is a great thing if you are appropriately competitive in the workplace. Assure the interviewer that you have a great competitive edge when necessary but are still able to balance that competition in a healthy way.

"I am competitive when it matters. I enjoy a good, healthy competition, in the form of sales contests or incentives. With that said, I don't identify as an overly competitive person who always needs to win. I enjoy watching others win, just as often."

"I am competitive, but not in the traditional sense of the word. I am very competitive with myself, but not with others on my team. If I achieve certain results this year, I will try to do better next year. And this doesn't relate only to my work. It's my attitude to life, fitness, and anything else I devote myself to. I always try to become the best version of myself, and I enjoy the process."

How do you deal with a coworker when they stand in the way of your progress at work?

"I typically just set the boundary and tell my coworker that I really need to focus, but I'd love to catch up with them at lunch. I've learned to set aside time to take breaks and spend time with coworkers, so I usually just let them know when I'll be available."

Even some of the best coworkers who are hard-working and entertaining can distract you from getting things done at work. Let's be honest, the funny and entertaining coworkers who like to chat online and send you YouTube videos are often the ones who can get in the way of your productivity. This question gives you a chance to talk about how you set healthy boundaries at work. It can be a difficult task, but you can handle it! Show off your ability to listen and communicate what you need from your coworkers, especially when you need space!

"If I have a coworker who is being a distraction, I will temporarily relocate my work-space or I will ask them to allow me to concentrate. If a coworker understands that you are under deadline or pressure, that usually helps them to understand your need for space."

"I typically just set the boundary and tell my coworker that I really need to focus, but I'd love to catch up with them at lunch. I've learned to set aside time to take breaks and spend time with coworkers, so I usually just let them know when I'll be available."

What are your salary expectations?

"Currently, I earn a base salary of $45,000 per year plus a potential 20% annual bonus. Last year my earnings were $52,000 and I would like to stay in the same range or slightly higher."

The best way to discuss your salary expectations are to use your current earnings as an example. Be open, and honest. Transparency is the best choice when salary based questions arise.

"I am currently making $100,000 per year with two bonus opportunities. I am looking for compensation that is aligned with the role and provides opportunity for growth."

"I'm sure you will provide a competitive, market salary."
