At Molson Coors Brewing Company we seek to hire individuals who are passionate about the beer and brewing industry. What do you do to stay on top of industry news and trends?

"I make my home brew as a hobby, so I stay updated on new trends in brewing through my local homebrew store. I also follow a couple of great blogs such as brewbeerblog.com. I go to our local Beer Fest every year as well!"

Assure the interviewer that you have a genuine interest in the brewing industry by talking briefly about the ways you stay up to date on new trends. It's a great idea to ask the interviewer how they stay up to date, as well. You never know what you could learn!

"I stay up to date on new industry trends and news by reading a few subscriptions on a regular basis. My favorite resources include A, B, and C. Which are yours?"

How do you feel about our branding and marketing strategy at Molson Coors Brewing Company?

"One thing that I appreciate about Molson Coors Brewing Company is that your branding has always been consistent. It's entertaining and not over the top. I also like that you put a strong emphasis on supporting local sporting events."

It is essential that you research, and understand, the brand(s) promoted by Molson Coors Brewing Company so that you can have an educated opinion on their marketing strategies. Perhaps they have great commercials, an informative website, or a strong presence at sporting events. Be prepared to discuss at least one aspect of their marketing and be sure to show your enthusiasm for the things you feel Molson Coors Brewing Company does best.

"Your branding is what made me apply to work for Molson Coors Brewing Company in the first place. Your brand is refreshing, and your workplace boasts a close-knit culture."

At Molson Coors Brewing Company we have a great selection of beers. Which is your favorite product?

"I have always enjoyed the majority of the product offered by Molson Coors Brewing Company; however, my new favorite has been the winter ale offered this year. It's crisp and has a lively finish. I keep it stocked at home because even non-beer drinkers enjoy it, so it's easy to bring out when people drop by unexpectedly."

It is crucial that you have a personal opinion on the product offered by Molson Coors Brewing Company before you go into your interview. Perhaps they offer a variety pack that you can pick up or maybe you are already familiar with the product. Choose one product that stands out to you and be prepared to discuss what you love about it!

"Although I am not a drinker, I can appreciate the care and attention that goes into all of your products. I am especially interested in your brewing process as it's unique and very much a craft process."

At Molson Coors Brewing Company we put a lot of effort into our safety and hygiene standards. Do you have any formal health and safety training?

"I have a certification in grain handling, keg cleaning, and bottling. I took these courses and became certified in 2013 by The Brewers Association. I would like to take additional training in Filtering and Pumping. Are there any particular courses or training sessions you would like to see me attend?"

Your health and safety credentials are on your resume; however, the interviewer would like for you to go into a bit more detail. You can talk about a course that you most enjoyed or perhaps discuss a certification that you would like to achieve down the road. It is excellent if you can open the discussion by asking the interviewer if Molson Coors Brewing Company is looking for a particular set of credentials when it comes to health and safety.

"I am happy to take any health and safety training that you require. I have taken some courses in the past but am unsure if they are still valid."

Our industry is a very competitive one. Tell me one thing you feel Molson Coors Brewing Company could improve on.

"That is a tough question because I enjoy what you are doing at Molson Coors Brewing Company. If I had to choose one thing I would suggest making your website more mobile friendly. Other than that - I think your branding is great and people love your product!"

Avoid giving a long-winded or overly opinionated answer when it comes to questions about company improvement. If you must provide feedback to Molson Coors Brewing Company try to draw out an idea that isn't too severe or negative. Always follow your answer up with a comment on what the company is doing right.

"One way I feel that Molson Coors Brewing Company could improve, would be to improve your social media presence. Your customers are loyal ones, and I am sure they would love to have an inside peek of your operations and up and coming products."

Do you understand the difference between craft beer and big beer?

"A craft brewer is small, independent, and usually employs traditional brewing methods. A big beer brewer generally has more funds for experimental brews and the retail price is usually a bit friendlier."

The interviewer would like to know that you understand the basics of the brewing industry. The biggest battle in the brewing market is often craft vs. big beer. It is best to answer this question in a non-bias manner.

"I am not formally trained in craft beer but am somewhat familiar with the industry from my research on Molson Coors Brewing Company. I believe that the primary difference between craft and big beer are the brewing methods, but I do look forward to learning much more!"

In such a competitive industry, how do you think Molson Coors Brewing Company stands out from competitors?

"I believe that Molson Coors Brewing Company stands out from your competitors because you put a strong emphasis on shrinking your economic footprint. The news page on your website talks about how you've reduced water usage this year by 12%. It's a great accomplishment, and your efforts are standing out in this industry."

Interviewers often use these conversations as ways to gain insight into what their consumers like about their product. Research the Molson Coors Brewing Company website and check out their 'News' and 'About Us' sections to discover where they are currently gaining recognition.

"In my opinion, Molson Coors Brewing Company stands out through your reputation for taking care of your employees. Your company culture is unmatched. I believe that happy employees create great products so this could certainly give you an edge over your competitors."

At Molson Coors Brewing Company we prefer to hire those with an existing knowledge in the beer and brewing industry. Name 3 types of beers and how they differ from each other.

"The three types of beer that first come to mind are Ales, Stouts, and Lagers. Lagers are the most popular type of beer sold in bars and liquor stores - likely because they have a crisp and refreshing finish. Ales generally come in second to Lagers, as popularity is concerned, because they are heavier. Many people still enjoy the assertive taste of an Ale. Stouts are well known for their darker, creamier taste. They are not consumed as readily as an Ale or Lager but a very popular choice, nonetheless."

Assure the interviewer that you bring a real interest to the brewing industry. Display a bit of your knowledge by talking briefly about the three types of beers you are most familiar with and what the most noticeable difference is between them.

"I have researched the brewing industry extensively, to prepare for this interview. The beers I am most familiar with are Ales, Stouts, and Lagers. Lagers are light and refreshing. Ales are heavier than a Lager, and then a Stout is much darker and creamier."

Environmental responsibility is important to Molson Coors Brewing Company. What do you think of our organization's sustainability efforts?

"I noticed on your website that you are currently working on ways to reduce the water use in your breweries. Water is such a valuable resource, so I like to see that Molson Coors Brewing Company is making a concerted effort to make a difference in this area."

The interviewer would like to know that you have done your research on Molson Coors Brewing Company before attending the interview. You can easily find this type of information on most company websites so take a few minutes to research what Molson Coors Brewing Company is doing regarding environmental sustainability.

"Not all companies are focused on sustainability and the environment. I think that your sustainability efforts are rare and responsible."

Tell me about a time that you have helped a co-worker accomplish an important goal.

"As a Sales Manager my team is only as successful as the lowest producing employee. It is crucial that my entire team is motivated, engaged, and on point with their KPI's. Last month I hired a new employee who was struggling significantly with sales. I sat him down and realized that he didn't understand the product. We spent a few hours together over that next week learning the product. In the end, his sales increased by 64%, and he was significantly more confident. It helped the team morale as well."

Being goal-oriented and determined is imperative when working at Molson Coors Brewing Company. What do you do, outside of your own goals, to ensure that everyone on your team is successful? Assure the interviewer that you are always willing to keep the team, or company as a whole, in mind.

"I had a coworker who recently needed some flexibility in his schedule so that he could finish his final university exams. I offered to take his overtime shift as well as to swap a couple of shifts with him. It always feels good to help someone accomplish things that are important to them."

Tell me about an organization or group outside of work that you contributed to.

"For the past eight months, I have volunteered every Wednesday evening at our local animal shelter. I will help with grooming the animals, feeding them, and walking them. It's been an enjoyable experience and rewarding at the same time."

Many hiring managers will choose one candidate over another because of their volunteer experience. They feel that it shows strong character and selflessness...all qualities that make a great employee at Molson Coors Brewing Company. Talk to the interviewer about your willingness to give back to your community in some form of volunteerism. If you do not have formal volunteer experience you can draw on things you do in your spare time to assist friends, family, or even your current employer. If you do have volunteer experience: "For the past eight months, I have volunteered every Wednesday evening at our local animal shelter. I will help with grooming the animals, feeding them, and walking them. It's been an enjoyable experience and rewarding at the same time."

"If you do not have volunteer experience: "I have not formally volunteered in these most recent years, however; I spend a lot of time helping my sister who is a single mom. I will babysit on weekends, cook dinners for her and drive the kids to appointments when necessary. I feel that it is imperative to take care of the needs of the family."

When have you been asked to perform a function or complete a task in which you had little or no experience in doing?

"When my manager went on unexpected medical leave for three months last year I was asked to step into her position in the interim. I knew the basics but was certainly not trained on the specifics of the role. I was able to take it on successfully by leaning on my team, reading a lot of company manuals, and asking many questions. Once my manager returned she was very pleased with the progress that I made, and I gained a promotion."

Have you ever had to take on a task or a role that you felt was over your experience level? Talk to the interviewer about a time when you have dealt with this type of situation. What was the outcome, and what did you learn?

"My current company recently implemented a new SAP system which means that every day has been a learning curve for me. I have had to learn how to manage inventory levels and document in the SAP system. I enjoy taking on new tasks and learning new things."

Have you progressed in your career as you have expected?

"Overall, my career has progressed a touch slower than I would have liked. I have held a couple of positions that didn't offer the growth and learning that I was expecting; however, I have bounced back nicely. I feel that this particular position would take my career exactly where it should be."

Career progression can be a touchy subject, especially if you feel that your career hasn't progressed as well as you would have liked. Talk to the interviewer about your career progression and what you would like to see in the future with Molson Coors Brewing Company.

"I had a pretty specific career mapped out and do feel that I am on track, as expected. I am happy with where my career is right now and would like to see future growth, at a manageable pace, with Molson Coors Brewing Company."

Why do you want this job?

"I have heard great things about your company and I know I would be a great fit for this job,"

What interests you most about working for Molson Coors Brewing Company? How will working for them help you to achieve your goals? Recruiters and hiring managers often receive hundreds of applications for the same job. If you are lucky enough to land the interview, make some effort to research the company. Think about how this job will help you in your career. It's crucial for you to know not only what you have to offer them, but what they can do for you. While your passion and excitement for the job are essential, it's always good to have some hard facts to back it up. For instance, "I have heard great things about your company and I know I would be a great fit for this job," is not very specific. Instead, consider saying something like, "Your values are very much in line with mine. I deeply care about giving back to the community. I also feel like this job will help me reach my goal of working in a management position, because of the leadership opportunities within this role."

"I would like this job with Molson Coors Brewing Company because your product is amazing and I would be so proud to be an employee here. Your company culture offers a dynamic that I have been seeking out, for quite some time."

At your current or former place of employment, how important was communication and dealing with others?

"In my previous role, healthy communication was required in order to protect the safety of our employees. We transported dangerous goods, and our management required that we all take specific workshops on communication and documentation. Because of this, my communication skills are solid."

Are you accustomed to working in an environment where clear communication with others is vital? Talk to the interviewer about your most recent work and how excellent communication played a part in your success.

"Unfortunately, healthy communication was a missing element in my most recent position. It is a large part of the reason I decided to seek out a new opportunity. I believe that communication is incredibly important for the success of an organization as well as team morale."

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 situations that you find distracting? Discuss your preferences with the interviewer. Be sure to research the kind of environment present at Molson Coors Brewing Company before the interview.

"I am pretty versatile and can handle a variety of work environments, but I do prefer to work in an organized environment with a positive beat."

How do you respond to customer or client complaints?

"A customer called me very frustrated about a problem with one of our software products. I listened and told them I would be happy to help. I asked more questions to understand the problem and then suggested once I had a better idea of what might solve it. The customer was very relieved and grateful that I took the time to listen and make sense of the issue."

If you are interviewing for a customer or client facing role, you want to show off your ability to deal with conflict and nurture client relationships. Give an example of a time you helped resolve a customer's issue.

"If faced with a customer complaint I would spend my time listening to their concerns. Usually, people simply want to be heard. If things escalated to the point where the customer became threatening, I would call a supervisor for help in handling the situation."

What feedback did you receive at your last job?

"My manager told me that I was spending too much time on the details of a project. I realized that I could be such a perfectionist that I lose track of time and hyper-focus on things that aren't that important. I'm learning to prioritize the steps I need to take and the tasks that need completion when working on a bigger project."

Every manager has a different approach to giving feedback. Some prefer to save it for the performance review while others dish it out on the regular. Your response to feedback is much more important than the input itself. Even if it was negative, if you can take it as constructive criticism, you can improve yourself and your skills.

"I received primarily positive feedback from my previous manager, but one area of improvement that she suggested was to focus more on the details of my documentation. I tend to move onto other tasks before fully documenting the last. I have been working hard on improving that about myself."

Outside of work, what type of creative activities do you like to pursue?

"Outside of work I like to attend dance classes and I also attend the odd paint and sip wine nights at a local wine shop. I also enjoy reading as a way of nurturing my creative side."

A genuinely creative minded person will have outside activities aside from what's happening in the workplace. Tell the interviewer about the variety of ways in which you express your creativity.

"I love to attend concerts! I am really into music and have started taking piano lessons twice per week. I believe that exercising creativity is important for everyone to do from time to time."

When given an important assignment, how do you approach handling it?

"When my supervisor gives me an important assignment or task I am sure to assess the depth of the project then take a look at my schedule to see how I can appropriately balance it with my other work. I do not procrastinate because then it's easy to forget to fit them in."

Are you the individual who will approach an assignment head-on, or do you need to research and plan first? Do you jump in and get it all done immediately or do you balance it with other assignments? Talk to the interviewer about how you approach essential assignments at work.

"I tend to jump right into a project! Not in a careless way, but in an enthusiastic one. I like to get my hands dirty and get the job going, right away."

What was your biggest take-away from your post-secondary education?

"My biggest takeaway from post-secondary education was the level of discipline that I mastered while there. I could multi-task, focus, and think in a completely different way once I had graduated."

What was the most significant thing that you learned from attending post-secondary studies? Tell the interviewer what you value most from this experience.

"I learned a lot in the majority of my courses, but I have to say that the greatest things I learned were surrounding my business courses. Economics is of great interest to me, and I learned from some valuable case studies. I believe these prepared me very well for real-life business experiences."

Have you ever been advised by a fellow employee or supervisor to lie about a situation? How did you handle this ethical dilemma?

"I have never been told to lie to a fellow employee or supervisor on the job. If I were to be asked to lie, I absolutely would not do that. I am not the type of personality to be pushed around on the job. I will always be myself and keep my integrity first."

Ethical dilemmas in the workplace will come up from time to time. Assure the interviewer that you can handle these types of difficulties with professionalism and poise.

"I have been asked to lie about inventory counts, in the past. I don't want to say whom or where, but I have worked in an environment where the supervisor was not an honest individual. I ended up leaving the position because I did not appreciate being challenged on my ethics like that. Truthfulness and honesty are essential to me."

What causes you to feel dissatisfied on the job?

"I can feel dissatisfaction on the job when I am not feeling heard or when there is not mutual respect among the team members. I work best in more harmonious situations where there is little drama or gossip."

Everyone will have particular triggers that cause them to feel dissatisfaction on the job. Talk to the interviewer about any factors that may deflate or discourage you at Molson Coors Brewing Company.

"Try turning your answer into a positive by talking about what causes you to feel the most satisfied, on the job. For example: "I feel most satisfied when I am in a company with like-minded, positive people. I love to collaborate and try new and creative ideas."

What do you see as the most difficult task in being a manager?

"As a manager, the most difficult task for me is to delegate the work evenly. You will always have team members who are absolute rock-stars, then some who are a bit less enthusiastic or are lower producers. I have to remind myself to distribute the work and responsibilities evenly despite my natural inclination to give more work to the high performers. I am currently working with my underperforming team members to prepare them for a larger workload."

Being in a management role is always a significant challenge. Share with the interviewer what you feel is the most challenging part of being a manager, and why. Also, discuss what you are currently doing to make this task less stressful in the future.

"I think the most challenging part of management is keeping a good balance between being a mentor, and a respected leader. I want to be the type of manager who people can come to when they need help, but also with boundaries when it comes to delegation and performance reviews."

If you had $50,000 to build your own business, what would you do?

"If I had $50,000 to build my own business I would open up a community center in my neighborhood that offered inexpensive childcare, cooking classes, and other life skills programs. I am passionate about volunteering and see a strong need in those particular areas."

If money was no object, what kind of business would you start? The interviewer will be able to learn something new and unique about you through this question. Avoid answers that would include building a business that competes with the hiring company.

"If I had the funds to build my own business, I would follow my creative passion for music and start a studio where people could take music lessons and rent equipment that they may not be able to afford otherwise to purchase."

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

"In my next position, I would like to see a slight increase in my salary. An offer between $52-54,000 would be ideal for me."

Discuss a time when you went above and beyond the call of duty. What did you do? How was it above your normal job requirements?

"In my current position, I have exceeded my targets and goals by an average of 22% per week. I do this through additional account management duties like making in-person service calls and helping my clients with promotional ideas when their sales are down."

Think back to your previous projects in your current or past position. Did you exceed your manager's expectations on a project by doing additional research to provide more of a polished product? If you are having difficulty thinking of an example from a past project, did you help a coworker out with some of their work? When a new co-worker started, did you volunteer your time without being asked to train them and show them the ropes? Also, try to relate your answer to the position you are applying for to demonstrate your qualifications for this role with Molson Coors Brewing Company.

I'm interested in knowing more about the culture and type of work you are seeking. What is your ideal position at this time?

"Ideally, I am seeking a role that offers a positive work environment with room for growth through challenging projects and continued training. I work best in a positive team environment where employees are respected and given some form of autonomy."

The type of culture you are looking for will vary based on your field and personality. Every candidate is looking for a positive work environment and growth opportunities, so be sure to stress these aspects in your response. In regards to the position with Molson Coors Brewing Company, think of three traits that get you excited about your ideal job and evoke happiness, ideally try and relate it to the position you are applying for to demonstrate to the interviewer how excited you are about the role.

"My ideal position will offer me responsibilities such as A, B, and C. I also prefer environments where autonomy is offered, and trust is given. I am a very loyal employee and prefer working in a culture that rewards their passionate and reliable employees."
