28. Why are you the best candidate for this surveillance job?
How to Answer
If possible, find out ahead of time what problems that location or company has been facing. If there's an issue with theft, talk about traits that would aid in reducing theft (and therefore would improve shrinkage). If there's an issue with customer incidents, talk about traits that would help reduce the company's liability in lawsuits.
Choose 1-3 character traits and/or skills and connect them to actions that would benefit the company.
Answer Example
"I am very reliable and flexible, which means that if you need me to cover for someone's shift when they get sick or something, I will be there for you. I'm also very attentive and responsive. One time, there was a physical altercation between two guests and I was the only one who noticed it on the monitor. I reported it to security quickly and they were able to arrive on the scene to prevent further injuries."
