TOP 10 INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

1. Tell me about yourself.
Since this is often the opening question in an interview, be extra careful that you don't run off at the mouth. Keep your answer to a minute or two at most. Cover four topics: early years, education, work history, and recent career experience. Emphasize this last subject. Remember that this is likely to be a warm-up question. Don't waste your best points on it.

2. What do you know about our organization?
You should be able to discuss products or services, revenues, reputation, image, goals, problems, management style, people, history and philosophy. But don't act as if you know everything about the place. Let your answer show that you have taken the time to do some research, but don't overwhelm the interviewer, and make it clear that you wish to learn more. You might start your answer in this manner: "In my job search, I've investigated a number of companies. Yours is one of the few that interests me, for these reasons, " Give your answer a positive tone. Don't say, "Well, everyone tells me that you're in all sorts of trouble, and that's why I'm here", even if that is why you're there.

3. Why do you want to work for us?
The deadliest answer you can give is "Because I like people." What else would you like-animals? Here, and throughout the interview, a good answer comes from having done your homework so that you can speak in terms of the company's needs. You might say that your research has shown that the company is doing things you would like to be involved with, and that it's doing them in ways that greatly interest you. For example, if the organization is known for strong management, your answer should mention that fact and show that you would like to be a part of that team. If the company places a great deal of emphasis on research and development, emphasize the fact that you want to create new things and that you know this is a place in which such activity is encouraged. If the organization stresses financial controls, your answer should mention a reverence for numbers. If you feel that you have to concoct an answer to this question - if, for example, the company stresses research, and you feel that you should mention it even though it really doesn't interest you- then you probably should not be taking that interview, because you probably shouldn't be considering a job with that organization. Your homework should include learning enough about the company to avoid approaching places where you wouldn't be able -or wouldn't want- to function. Since most of us are poor liars, it's difficult to con anyone in an interview. But even if you should succeed at it, your prize is a job you don't really want.

4. What can you do for us that someone else can't?
Here you have every right, and perhaps an obligation, to toot your own horn and be a bit egotistical. Talk about your record of getting things done, and mention specifics from your resume or list of career accomplishments. Say that your skills and interests, combined with this history of getting results, make you valuable. Mention your ability to set priorities, identify problems, and use your experience and energy to solve them.

5. What do you find most attractive about this position?
What seems least attractive about it?List three or four attractive factors of the job, and mention a single, minor, unattractive item.

6. Why should we hire you?
Create your answer by thinking in terms of your ability, your experience, and your energy. (See question 4.)

7. What do you look for in a job?

Keep your answer oriented to opportunities at this organization. Talk about your desire to perform and be recognized for your contributions. Make your answer oriented toward opportunity rather than personal security.

8. Please give me your definition of [the position for which you are being interviewed].
Keep your answer brief and task oriented. Think in in terms of responsibilities and accountability. Make sure that you really do understand what the position involves before you attempt an answer. If you are not certain. Ask the interviewer; he or she may answer the question for you.

9. How long would it take you to make a meaningful contribution to our firm?
Be realistic. Say that, while you would expect to meet pressing demands and pull your own weight from the first day, it might take six months to a year before you could expect to know the organization and its needs well enough to make a major contribution.

10. How long would you stay with us?
Say that you are interested in a career with the organization, but admit that you would have to continue to feel challenged to remain with any organization. Think in terms of, "As long as we both feel achievement-oriented."

GUINESS is employing

it10009119706.jpg
Guinness is a popular dry stout beer that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness (1725–1803) at St. James's Gate, Dublin. Guinness is based on the porter style that originated in London in the early 18th century and is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. A distinctive feature is the burnt flavour which is derived from the use of roasted barley. For many years a portion of the drink was aged to give a sharp lactic flavour, although Guinness has refused to confirm if this still occurs, possibly for secrecy.

Stanbic IBTC is Recruiting

Position Description

Customer Consultant:

The Customer Consultant is responsible for active sales within the Branch context. Customers who have a need to open/close accounts or who require advice on any product or service of the Bank will see the Customer Consultant. They will then determine the customer’s needs and make recommendations around the best product and/or solution.

Solution based Sales:

The most important aspect of the Customer Consultant’s role is the interaction with customers. Customers are being interviewed on a daily basis to determine their specific financial needs. Although the Customer Consultant has very specific sales targets, the sales strategy is re-active with customers coming into the Branch to see the Consultant. It is critical for the consultant to have very good personal and interpersonal skills which he/she will use to determine the specific financial solutions needed by the customer. Although re-active the Consultant must have the ability to “close the deal”, thereby contributing to the revenue stream of the Branch. To safeguard the customer, advice given by the Customer Consultant needs to comply with very specific Financial Regulatory requirements (these may vary from Country to Country)

Position Requirements

Product Knowledge:

In order for the Customer Consultant to provide the customer with financial solutions, it is absolutely critical that he/she fully understands the different products of the Bank. The consultant is seen as the product expert in the Branch. Over and above the interaction with customers the Consultant often need to up-skill the branch staff on new and existing products. The Customer Consultant also manages and track cross selling and lead generation opportunities and ensures that the Branch team’s sales and service targets are being met.

Customer Service:

Although the main focus of the consultant is sales he/she must understand and manage the impact of his/her actions and advice on the customer’s overall service experience. In many cases the fulfillment of the sales transaction happens outside the Branch – it is very important for the Consultant to understand these processes and build quality relationships with these service providers.

Credit Management:

Credit is a product offering of the Bank and it is important that the consultant fully understands the credit process. Coupon lending applications need to be submitted to Credit for sanctioning, it is critical that the Consultant provide accurate information in order for the correct lending decisions to be made.

Routine:

Due to the fact that customers open new accounts and or apply for different products i.e.: current accounts, credit cards, home loans etc, it is absolutely critical that the correct information is obtained from customers to comply with the Bank’s laid down procedures and Financial Regulatory requirements. Excellent customer service stems from Consultants doing things right the first time – an eye for detail is a must.

There are many ways of doing this but the result of friendly, competent and efficient service is always the same, a happy and loyal customer.

Position Requirements

Product Knowledge:
