QUESTION 28 OF 32

Do you feel performance should be rewarded over experience?

Do you feel that you should be paid based on tenure, or results? Discuss this with the interviewer and back your answer with an example, if possible.

"I feel that employees should be paid, and rewarded, based on their performance. A new employee would be greatly motivated through being rewarded for performance and it encourages a healthy competition with tenured employees."

Anonymous Answer

Yes, as each job tends to require a new skill set and is run and organized differently from other collections. Being able to adapt and learn new methods should be rewarded.

Amanda's Feedback

Good start! This question gives the interviewer clearer insight into your thoughts around how employees are rewarded through pay raises or promotions. While there is no right or wrong answer, employers will likely be looking for a response that confirms that performance is the most important factor when it comes to rewarding employees. If possible, briefly discuss the positive and/or negative ways you have seen this play out in your own career to this point.
