3. At Company ABC we prefer to hire those with a business, hospitality, or tourism related diploma or degree. Walk me through your post-secondary education. How has it prepared you for this role?
How to Answer
Your post-secondary education is on your resume; however, the interviewer would like for you to go into further detail. Discuss how your post-secondary education has prepared you for a role with Company ABC. If you do not have any formal post-secondary education, you can refer to your previous work experience or related on-the-job training.
1st Answer Example
"I have a Diploma in Travel and Tourism from Reeves College. This post-secondary experience was very positive, and I was able to learn the hospitality industry inside and out. My favorite course from the program was Marketing and Business Management. I believe this course gave me a keen eye for the large, and small, ways that I can make a positive change. I look forward to applying that knowledge to this role with Company ABC."
2nd Answer Example
"Although my related training is all on-the-job training, I am confident that I will exceed your expectations in this role with Company ABC. I bring five years of similar experience from my previous role. That company was particularly strong when it came to their training resources, so I am fully equipped and trained to perform well in this role."
