QUESTION 11 OF 25

Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?

Letting people go is never an easy task. The interviewer wants to know about your experience with this, because it can be emotional and hard. It's okay if you haven't had to let someone go, but you should acknowledge the difficulties of the task to the interviewer.

As for the second part of the question, the interviewer wants to know that even if the task is difficult, you'll be able to do it if needed.

"I have had to fire employees before. It is never easy, but there is always evidence and prior meetings with the employee before. If someone isn't doing their job up to the standards, I sit down with them and create a plan. After time I have had to fire someone it hasn't been a surprise to the employee."
