Question 26 of 30

At LinkedIn we take pride in our ability to stay one step ahead of our competitors. How will you contribute to this trend?

LinkedIn has some competition when it comes to specific areas of business such as job posting, being a career content aggregator, and even as a social network. However; few companies can do what the LinkedIn platform is doing as a whole.

Focusing primarily on the job search and job postings portal, which is where much of LinkedIn's profits come from, their fiercest competitors may be Indeed, Zip Recruiter, Monster, and Glassdoor.

Perform some research to find out what LinkedIn does best, and who is trying to do it better. Speak openly with the interviewer about your ability to work competitively and how you plan to contribute to their continued success.

      1st Answer Example

      "I believe the best way to stay ahead of your competitors is to pay a big amount of attention to the fine details, and the user interface. When you put out a great product, others will try to mimic your work, but they will cut corners because they will feel rushed to get it out on the marketplace first. I will contribute to the success of LinkedIn by committing my most attentive work to you every day."

      2nd Answer Example

      "I think that the best way to stay ahead of competitors is to keep your products as simple as possible while remaining innovative. People want simple, easy interfaces, and mobile apps which they can easily navigate. What I've seen from competitors lately is that they overcomplicate their offering. I create clean and consistent work that your members will appreciate."
