This concludes our interview. Do you have any questions for us?

"Thank you for asking - I do have a few questions. What is top of mind when it comes to filling this role? Also, what types of career growth opportunities would follow this position? And lastly, do you have internal candidates who are also interviewing for this position?"

The interviewers want to make sure that all of your questions about the NHS or job role are answered during the interview. It is best to ask at least a question or two, showing the interviewers your eagerness to learn all you can. Of course, you want to review the job announcement and research the NHS beforehand so you are not asking questions that could be found during your research.Focus on asking questions specific to the role you are interviewing for or the company culture and work environment. Examples of good questions are asking the interviewers how you performed in the interview or if you need to clarify anything, asking what the interviewers like most about working for the NHS, or if they have any hesitancy about hiring you. To make yourself stand out, thank the interviewers at the beginning of your response for letting you ask questions. They will think that it is respectful and it shows you have good manners.

What is your experience working as a project support officer?

"I have worked for the past four years as a project support officer for Northrop Grumman. My position required me to act as the dynamic primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders. I was also responsible for coordinating, implementing, and executing projects following the NGUK strategy, standards, policies, and processes. I have an excellent letter of recommendation from my former supervisor if you would like a copy for your file."

The job announcement will say how many years of experience the NHS requires to apply for the project support officer position, which depends on the location of the job. The interviewers would like to hear about your experience to ensure you are qualified for the position. Give examples of how many years of experience you have and who you have worked with previously.

What are your professional goals for the next five years?

"My professional goals in the next five years start with getting hired for this position. Once hired, I will gain more experience, stay current with industry trends and technology, and promote to a senior project support officer position with the NHS."

The interviewers ask this question for two reasons. They want to see if you have professional goals and a plan to achieve them. Setting goals to improve and grow professionally shows that you are motivated and dedicated to your profession. The interviewers also want to see if your plans include working for the NHS. Organizations invest a lot of money and time to hire and train employees, and the interviewers want to know that you will be a long-term employee if hired.

How would you describe your communication skills?

"I have worked hard on my verbal communication skills over the past few years as I used to be extremely shy. I took public speaking courses and now feel very comfortable communicating with others. My written communication skills have always been strong, and now my verbal communication skills are as well."

The interviewers ask this question to see that you have the strong verbal and written communication skills required for the NHS project support officer position. Your job duties will include speaking to stakeholders, managers, coworkers, and the public. You will also be responsible for written communications when writing reports and communicating by email. Describe your communication skills, highlighting how they will benefit the NHS if hired for the position.

"I consider myself natural with my communication and interpersonal skill that I have had for many years. In addition to this that with my extensive work experience, my communication skills have developed both verbal and written due to the nature of the position that I had, and communicate with proficiency with my managers and clients."

Can you work independently, or do you prefer to be closely supervised?

"I am very comfortable working independently. I have worked as a project support officer for five years and have always been a self-starter. I work well in a team environment and independently, as this profession requires both. I do not prefer close supervision as I am confident in my skills as a project support officer. If I have a question or require assistance from my supervisor or the project manager, I do not hesitate to ask them."

The interviewers are looking for project support officers who are self-starters and can work independently. While working in a team environment is also required as you collaborate with colleagues and stakeholders on projects, the NHS is looking for professionals who are confident in their skills and feel comfortable working alone. The interviewers ask this question to see that you can work independently and not need to be closely supervised if hired.

"I have worked with little or no supervision in my present and past roles, however, I am also a team player and believe for a successful achievement of goals one had to collaborate and communicate for the best outcome, therefore I do not hesitate to ask questions or help if I am not sure about particular task or tasks."

Would you describe yourself as a detail-oriented person?

"I am a highly detailed person, and I thrive on having a high level of organization in my day. If I am offered a position with the NHS, you will always find me to be organized. This organization includes my scheduling, paperwork, and more. I utilize my Outlook calendar and set alerts for deadlines and important activities. My documentation is strong as well."

As a project support officer, you must be detail-oriented. You will create and update databases and spreadsheets, prioritize workload and deadlines, plan and organize complex activities, and support the project manager with various tasks and assignments. The interviewers want to hear that you pay attention to detail to see that you will be an excellent addition to their team.If you have a letter of recommendation or performance review from a previous employer that describes your attention to detail, let the interviewers know when responding to this question. When a former employer or supervisor comments on your attention to detail, it carries more weight than when you describe yourself. If you do not have a letter or performance review, give an example of why you consider yourself a detail-oriented person.

"I would say I like to pay a great deal of attention to details and consider this to be one of my stronger points. In my present role, daily I check and organize my work tasks using several methods, for instance, I use Outlook for planning and putting important dates for alerts and reminders helps me to remember meetings and other important deadlines. I also like to organize myself well in advance for complex tasks as they need adequate time to finish such as meeting clients and at the same time dealing with the day-to-day tasks on the go."

What are your greatest strengths related to this position?

"My greatest strengths as a project support officer are my communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills. I have excellent verbal and written communication skills and can explain complex data in easy-to-understand terms. I have led and supported many diverse teams at work and in a volunteer capacity, and I have exceptional listening skills. I have over five years of experience honing these skills in my profession, and I look forward to the opportunity to bring these skills to the NHS."

The interviewers want to hear your greatest strengths as a project support officer to determine if you have the qualities they are looking for. Review the job description before your interview and look for keywords the NHS used to describe its ideal candidate. Then, choose several keywords you have identified as your greatest strengths, showing the interviewers that you have the characteristics they are looking for.

"My greatest strength for this position is my experience from different roles from the past and present, therefore for this role, I bring many skills to the table and one of the stronger ones is my capability to communicate at all levels. I consider myself a well-rounded person and have both business and technical abilities that the modern business environment requires."

How do you handle a dispute with a coworker or supervisor?

"Over the years, I have found the involved parties can fix all conflicts with honest, open communication. When both parties can explain why they are bothered by something and decide how to handle the situation maturely, less conflict will likely happen in the future. Most conflicts are simply a misunderstanding or lack of communication. When I have a dispute with a coworker or supervisor, I ask to speak to them privately to discuss the matter. It is never professional to have a disagreement or conflict in front of others. Then, we talk about the issue until we can come to a mutually agreeable solution."

It is not uncommon for coworkers or supervisors to have a dispute or disagreement with someone they work with. The interviewers know this and want to see how you have handled disputes in the past. How you respond gives the interviewers insight into your problem-solving, communication, and conflict-resolution skills, which are essential skills to possess in any profession.Provide a detailed explanation of how you handled a past disagreement with a supervisor or coworker. You do not necessarily need to describe the reason for the dispute, just how you dealt with it. The interviewers want to hear that you dealt with the conflict privately, calmly, and professionally and that there was a resolution.

"In a business environment, there is bound to be conflict and what matters is how you handle the conflict in a professional way. Therefore I have handled conflicts in a professional manner on many occasions in the past with my colleagues by requiring a private chat away from the actual activity of the business happening. This way lining up all our differences and issues to reach a mutual agreement and most importantly learn from the issues that triggered the conflict in the first place and make sure for it not to happen again."

What do you do when you are given an assignment and are unfamiliar with how to complete the task?

"It depends on the assignment. If it is something I can research and figure out how to complete the task, I will go that route. Suppose the job is something particular to the company I am working for and involves a specific way to complete it. In that case, I will tell the person giving me the assignment I am unfamiliar with how to do the task. I will ask them to show me or point me in the right direction so I complete the assignment correctly."

The interviewers ask this question to gain insight into your communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. They would like to know how you tackle unfamiliar assignments and know you will ask for help when needed. You want the interviewer to see that you have critical-thinking skills and can research how to complete an assignment. Still, you also want to show them you are unafraid to ask for clarification, so you do not complete the task incorrectly. Describe how you approach a situation you are unfamiliar with.

"I am normally very determined to figure out things even if I am not familiar with them. f the assignment has no time constraint then I research and exhaust all possible avenues before I reach out to someone to ask for a lending hand. This way I get to involve my team and collaborate with them so that the assignment can be finished as expected."

Can you please describe at least one of the NHS values?

"I noticed on the NHS website there are six values that all staff are expected to demonstrate. Every value resonates with me, and that is what made me excited to apply to the NHS. The first value is the patients come first. All staff members work together for the patients while offering dignity and respect. These are a few of the values of the NHS, which I will demonstrate if chosen for the position."

If you're applying for a job either directly in the NHS or in an organisation that provides NHS services, you'll be asked to demonstrate the values of the NHS Constitution and how they would apply in your everyday work. The NHS has six values that all staff are expected to demonstrate, listed on the NHS health careers website. The interviewers ask this question to see that you have researched the NHS before your interview and that you can name at least one of the six values.

What is the vision of the NHS?

"The vision of the NHS is to enable people to live healthier and more independent lives through high-quality seamless care. I love that your vision aligns with mine, and it is short and to the point. I believe people remember a company's mission and vision statement when it is clear and resonates with them."

The interviewers ask this question to see if you have researched the NHS before your interview. You should be prepared to answer any questions the hiring managers will have, such as the company's mission and vision statements, its core values, the population they serve, the CEO of the company, and the year they were founded. It is always recommended to do your homework before any interview and learn all you can about the company.The NHS's vision is 'enabling people to live healthier and more independent lives through high-quality seamless care.' Focus on memorizing the vision so you can respond to this question with ease.

Give me an example of a time when you had to be extra diligent in order to meet a deadline.

"I am always diligent when it comes to deadlines. I am organized and prioritize tasks to meet every deadline with ease. My supervisor recently asked me to prepare a report to submit to the stakeholders regarding the project's status. She originally gave me three days to prepare the report but moved the deadline to one day for an unspecified reason. I stayed up until three in the morning working on the report to meet the deadline, which I did."

Talk to the interviewers about your ability to act diligently on the job. They want to know that you are a project support officer that consistently meets work-related deadlines. They want to hear if you are determined to complete your tasks on time or frequently miss deadlines.Provide a work-related example of when you had to be extra diligent to meet a deadline. The interviewers want to hear that you are organized and manage your time well to finish your tasks. Being a diligent employee shows you are a responsible team player who puts the company's needs first.

If applicable for the post, all successful candidates must pay for their Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Do you have an issue with this requirement?

"I saw this requirement listed on the job posting, and I do not have an issue paying for the DBS check. I think it's a nice gesture that you allow candidates to pay in two instalments from their salary, which lessens the burden of paying the entire cost upfront."

A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check helps employers make safer recruitment decisions and prevent unsuitable people from working with vulnerable groups, including children. The NHS lists this requirement in their job postings, so this should not come as a surprise to you. Let the interviewers know you do not have an issue paying for the DBS check.

We have a high number of applicants for this one position. Why should we choose you?

"You should choose me for the position because I meet and exceed your qualifications. I have over seven years of experience working as a project support officer with diverse teams and cultures. I am excellent at problem-solving, have great attention to detail, have strong leadership skills, and work extremely well under pressure. I have exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, which all of my references will attest to. I guarantee you will not regret hiring me for this position as I will be a valuable asset to the NHS."

Now is your chance to highlight your best characteristics and experience, showing the interviewers you have all the qualifications they require.It is best to review the job announcement before your interview and highlight the qualities, experience, and education the NHS seeks in their project support officer.

How do you expect to make a difference at the NHS?

"I expect to make a difference at the NHS by bringing my ten years of project support officer knowledge and expertise to your company and providing the service you expect from your team members. I always come to work with a smile and a positive attitude, which rubs off on those around me. I have a strong work ethic, solid communication skills, and an excellent work history with few excused absences. I love what I do, and I look forward to this opportunity to finish out my career with the NHS."

Tell me about your relationship with your previous boss.

"I make a point of investing in coworker relationships. It's important to me that these relationships are established early on, especially with my boss. My current boss knows he can rely on me for anything in his absence, and my responsibilities have consistently increased to reflect that level of trust. I sum it up as a relationship led by strong mutual respect."

The interviewers ask this question to see how you work with and speak of others. They want to know if you will be an easy or challenging person to work with.

I also wanted a profession where I could utilize my organizational, logical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills. After speaking with a college advisor, I was told that project management or project support sounded like careers fitting for my skills.

The interviewers want to hear your reasons for choosing this profession to understand what motivates you in your career.

When did you make a mistake in a project? How did you fix it?

"I made a mistake about four months ago while working on a project. I was filing paperwork for my project manager and accidentally filed a stakeholder's file incorrectly. When my project manager went to retrieve the file, she could not find it and called me into her office. She was in somewhat of a panic because she was meeting with the stakeholder in 20 minutes and needed the file before the meeting. The stakeholder's last name was hyphenated, and I realized I had placed the file under the wrong letter of the alphabet. I quickly found the file and assured my project manager I would be more careful in the future."
