Use this spreadsheet tool to practice for an initial HR job interview. Work at your own pace. It provides twelve of the most common interview questions. The second page provides you with instructions for utilizing this interactive tool. Each question comes with insight into what the interviewer likely seeks with each question. Click the arrow at the left to see that item's insight and tip into that interview item. 1. Tell me about yourself. Key insight into this question Your self-introduction serves as an icebreaker. It's also a good opportunity to create a strong first impression that you really are the best fit for what they seek. What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question The interviewer gets to see if your personality is a good fit for the role, for the team, and for the company. The interviewer typically determines in the first 90 seconds if you will be a good candidate to forward onto the next step in the process. 2. What is your greatest strength? Key insight into this question What soft skill implied in the job description can you demonsrate in an example? That just became your greatest strength to qualify for this job. What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question Are they asking for only one or for several strengths? Typically just one. Look for a soft skill that exemplifies what the job description requires. Then give a brief example of you expressing that soft skill as applied to the job description qualification. 3. What is your greatest weakness? Key insight into this question This question is asking you to humbly be honest and admit to something you are still improving. Quickly state the shortcoming then focus more on your progress in this area. What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question The interviewer assumes that we all have many imperfections, but choose the one that can demonstrate how you are actively improving yourself. This can demonstrate your problem-solving and other skills. Just be sure not to pick something critical to the job description. 4. What do you know about our company? Key insight into this question The less you know about their product and services, the less reason they have to hire you. Find out as much as you can beforehand. What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question They will not be impressed if citing only the basic facts about them. Tell not only what you know but what you like about them. Do you use any of their offerings? Do you love what they are about? Let your passion for them shine through. 5. Where do you see yourself in 3 to 5 years? Key insight into this question This looks at how strong and clear is your vision for your career. The better your career vision, the more likely you will be a good fit for this team. What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question Avoid overpromising them your commitment to a future no one can know. Of course, you don't want to say you expect to be working elsewhere in five years, or starting your own business, even if that is likely. Assure them they are central to your current career trajectory. 6. Tell me about your greatest career success. Key insight into this question Share something you have accomplished that the job description particularly seeks. Prioritize what is important to them over what you are most proud of achieving. What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question What is something in the job description you have achieved? Share it as a short story. What was the workplace challenge you met? How did you succeed in resolving it? How does it make you a perfect candidate for this position? 7. Tell me about a mistake you made at work and what you learned. Key insight into this question When you learn from your mistakes, you become a better team member. Like a healed bone getting stronger than before, show your strengths through recovering from a mistake. What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question The more you drop your guard and show you humanly make mistakes, you build more trust. The more valuable what you learn from the mistake, the better your fit for this new team. Remember to end your example on a positive note. 8. Tell me about a disagreement you had with a colleague and how you handled it. Key insight into this question This looks for your teamwork skills. Everyone has a different opinion sometime, so how do you contribute your unique perspective to the team? What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question This doesn't assume you argued with a coworker. Tell about how you get along with your teammates even when you have a different point of view. Hopefully you are not so "harmonious" that you never contribute your unique perspective. 9. How would your coworkers describe you? Key insight into this question This puts in the third person paraphrasing or quoting your teammates' views of you. It can sound less partial and not risk sounding like you're boasting. What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question TIP: Ask your current coworkers for feedback to your current work, then use it to answer this question. They never have to know you are seeking another job. You will sound more certain when quoting their actual words than trying to paraphrase what you think they might say. 10. Why should we hire you? Key insight into this question If you are equally qualified as all the other candidates, what sets you apart as the best pick? What can you offer the others likely cannot? What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question Think about what you offer that other candidates can unlikely offer. What particular experience or qualifications others are not likely to have. Emphasize these qualities with your passion for the opportunity to join this team, this company. You're almost there! 11. Tell me something we should know about you that we didn't think to ask. Key insight into this question Before the interview ends, the interviewer wants you to suggest anything they may have overlooked. Here is your opportunity to shine. What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question Standard HR questions could overlook something that makes you especially qualified for this job. HR recognizes it may miss this, so this is an open-ended question for you to share some unique story that can help them decide you are just right for the job. 12. Do you have any questions for me? Key insight into this question Good questions demonstrate how interested you are in the job. You never want to say you have no questions. Let the time run out on the questions you could ask. What the interviewer typically looks for in your answer to this question Prepare at least 3 to 4 questions to ask the interviewer to show your interest. If you only prepare one or two and they answer each in the course of the interview, you do not want to say you have no more questions. Go back to the top and select " Qs to ask interviewer " for some ideas. You then practice your answers in the provided space. Then rate the quality of your answer. First by relevance to the job description. Speak to their needs. Second by authenticity of your answer. Avoid embellishing. Third by how specific is your answer. Generalizations don't sell yourself.

Okay : Feedback to a minimal response to this question. Poor : Feedback to an unacceptable response to this question.

Your emotions powerfully convey your needs Episode 2 clip from the Need-Response podcast , with its text below Do you feel others trying to blame you for not fulfilling their needs? Do you feel overwhelmed by all that’s demanded from you now? Do you feel that you must fight to get others to bend their  needs to serve yours? Can anyone change what they need on demand?   Objective fact of your core needs 0:18 Every need exists as an objective fact . Which you subjectively experience only after the fact. Only then do your feelings suggest what you could do to restore your objective functioning. What you then do in response is separate from the objective need itself.   This is the foundational principle establishing the new social science of anankelogy —the study of need. The objective fact of needs allows us to predict many aspects of our needs, and put them under the magnifying glass.   You objectively need water. Your body requires the proper level of water for you to healthily function. The further outside that optimal level, the less you can predictably function. As an objective fact, independent of your awareness.   You objectively need others. Your life cannot continue for long if left completely isolated. The more isolated from those whom your life requires to optimally function, the less well you predictably become.   You objectively need times of solitude. You cannot function well if completely smothered by others imposing on your personal space. The less room to assert your own capabilities, the less you can optimally function. Predictably.   Need direction cycle 1:35 Consider how each of your needs prompt you to move from an uncomfortable red zone  into a green zone  of improved functioning. In a predictable cyclic pattern .     You experience pain  or discomfort whenever something objectively exceeds  an ideal threshold. Apart from perceiving such a threatening excess, you feel no pain.   By removing  whatever is in excess, you feel relief . You can then objectively function better.   When dropping too low, or what your life requires to function gets too depleted , you feel desire . Apart from such depletion, you feel no desires.   By adequately replenishing what your life requires to objectively function, you feel some pleasure . And back around again.   You recognize removing excess and replenishing  what’s depleted are both GOOD . These restore your functioning. Objectively.   You realize depletion and excess  are both BAD . These diminish your functioning. Objectively.   Relate to your discomforts 2:35 There is no such thing as pain or desire apart from unresolved needs .   Consider how this applies to your objective need for fluid balance. You feel discomfort when realizing your bladder is full.   You feel relief when relieving your bladder.   You feel thirsty when your body signals your fluid level has depleted below an optimal level.   You feel quenched after drinking enough water to restore that level.   Now apply this to an emotional need.   Sometimes you feel smothered in a crowd, and seek solitude.   You find relief when finding the free or personal space to be alone.   You suffer feelings of loneliness when completely isolated from others.   You enjoy closeness after befriending others who respond to you.   Sometimes a need only covers half of this cycle. Like when you hurt your hand. And find relief when your hand heals. There is no depletion in the sensation of touch.   Or when you desire self-expression and find pleasure when understood.   All of your needs spin through this cycle.   Painful reality of your unmet needs 3:41 Your every need exists as an objective fact . Every need of others also exists objectively. You can never change what they objectively require to function, so why try?   You cannot choose not to be thirsty, nor can they. Or to not be smothered. Or not to require support from caring others. You cannot refuse to require self-determination, nor can they. You cannot deny your innate necessity to remain secure, nor can they.   We can challenge what we do about such needs. And question how others address such needs, especially if negatively impacting our own. But it is utterly pointless to challenge the needs themselves. We cannot avoid the pain of suffered insecurity. Or evade the persisting desire of hindered self-determination. Not without addressing the objectively existing needs that prompts such pain or desire in us all.   Equal under the sun 4:34 No one’s needs are more important than the objectively existing needs in others. No one’s urgency to remove some painful threat or to fulfill some noble desire exists as more important than similar needs of others.   Anankelogy establishes how all core needs sit equal before nature , by demonstrating how resolving such needs empirically “improves” anyone’s capacity to function, to measurably improve their wellbeing. And how all unresolved needs “reduces” anyone’s capacity to function, in ways that measurably compromise their wellness. Equally applicable to everyone.   Need-response challenges the ethical quandary of obstructing other’s chance to resolve their inflexible needs . Especially those who then exploit any reduced wellness  to serve their own interests—even if such interests appear noble on the surface. Such as offering pain relief without addressing the inflexible need prompting that pain .    Short-term pain relief may be essential to restore focus. But perpetual pain relief risks trapping you in persisting pain by ignoring the inflexible needs such pain exists to report. Opposing others considered the source of your pain also can trap you in more pain, by provoking them into defensiveness to guard their inflexible needs.   A better way 5:54 Instead of opposing each other’s objectively occurring needs, we could first affirm them in each other. Everyone requires security and self-determination, for example, and opposition to such objectively occurring needs predictably provokes mutual defensiveness, predictably prompts pushback—sometimes with violent force—and predictably always fails. Inflexible needs always refuse to “flex”, or change, to suit anyone’s resistance to their objective reality.   Affirm the needs, and only then can we effectively question how that affects our own needs. It’s better to honor the needs of others as one’s own than to provoke mutual defensiveness that predictably prevents resolution of such needs. Then traps you in the pain of our unmet needs, which risks distorting your thinking.   Instead of wasting precious resources preventing each other from resolving their inflexible needs—because we don’t like how they do it—it’s better to support one another to resolve their inflexible needs. And to mutually negotiate how to resolve such needs with minimal negative impacts on one another. It’s best not to try to hold each other down, but to encourage each other to excel and thrive by fully resolving each other’s inflexible needs.   You know, there’s a word for this radically different approach: ‘ love ’ .

Wellness campaign A wellness campaign is an organized program to enable the relatively powerless to speak truth to power, while incentivizing the powerful to listen to those they powerfully impact. The campaign builds momentum in five phases. Its revolutionary design can offer you more hope to resolve needs more effectively than other available options. Maybe a wellness campaign can serve your needs better than other standard options. Compared to psychotherapy or legal advise, a wellness campaign can address the neglected needs driving all of our problems . To be sure, there is a place for psychotherapy and for getting legal advise. These can support a full wellness campaign. These standard options are designed to address personal problems or interpersonal conflicts. Politics was designed to address structural problems, but has become a structural problem. So why not try a service trying to solve all levels of human problems ? Personal problems : should be able to solve on your own with a little help. Interpersonal problems : solvable with some cooperation with the other. Power problems : solvable by those in positions of authority or "power". Structural problems : solvable by transforming obstructive social norms. A wellness campaign is designed to address each level of human problems in its progressing five phases. Five phases of your wellness campaign and the problem level addressed by each phase of the campaign 1. BASE phase : build your foundation start addressing pe rsonal problems 2. ALLY phase : onboard your partner start add ressing interper sonal problems 3. TEAM phase : onboard peer support continue addressing interpe rsonal problems 4. GROW phase : onboard the influentia l start addressing power problems 5. GOAL phase : speak truth to power start addressing structural problems 1 Your BASE phase Your wellness campaign begins with your professional need-responder laying down a firm foundation with you. At this early stage, you work with your professional need-responder one-on-one. 2 Your ALLY phase Your wellness campaign typically builds with a strong ally at your side. You identify the ally you can trust to speak on your behalf, and can make decisions in your absence. You can usually skip this phase. 3 Your TEAM phase Your wellness campaign builds significant momentum as you cultivate peer support. Instead of assumed privacy of the therapist-client or attorney-client relationship, you invite others you know to invest in your wellness goals. 4 Your GROW phase Your wellness campaign grows legs as it onboards those with significant influence and resources to help you reach your goals. You develop the skills to inspire the influential to mutually resolve needs with the power of love. 5 Your GOAL phase Your wellness campaign reaches its zenith when you can freely resolve your wellness needs with growing support. You incentivize those who powerfully impact your needs to earn legitimacy by enabling positive results for all.

Saybackr Speak Truth to Power - Listen to Those Impacted STTP LTTI Build support to speak your truth to power with the power of love Try our conciliatory approach to inspire those in authority over you to listen to how they impact you. Incentivize their support of your growth needs. Saybackr can help. Honor needs of those in power to incentivize them to listen to you Listen to those you impact toimprove your competencies As someone with responsibility toward others under your authority, you lack sufficient impact data to lead effectively. You don't know what you don't know. Saybackr can help. Improve your competencies as a leader with our conciliatory path Saybackr creates a bridge between the powerless and the powerful, to resolve needs Power relations tend to overlooked your needs Powerholders tend to rely on untested assumptions. The more they overlook your needs, the less effective their leadership. Both sides lose. Those in power need better impact data Powerholders don't know what they don't know. Many remain ignorant of jawboning those into subservience , who only comply to avoid risk of retribution. Both sides lose. Saybackr bridges these two complementary needs Saybackr provides impact data by engaging those impacted. More of your needs received due respect. Both sides win. Saybackr is AF's first "need-responsive" project. This revolutionary platform aims to serve the many needs overlooked by our legalistic institutions. Both the judicial system and politics routinely fail to help us resolve our many exposed needs, leaving us in despair of our increasing anxieties and depression. Instead of pitting parties against each other to offer relief to the winning side, Saybackr brings all sides together to relate more personally to each other's impacted needs. Its conciliatory process links powerholders and the relatively powerless to personally address their needs in good faith. The relatively powerless hold the powerful accountable to their publicly impacted needs. Powerholders earn legitimacy to outperform other leaders. Together, both sides replace destructive norms of alienation with each other's greater potential for love. WELCOME Saybackr is to serve as a hybrid public and private good. The Anankelogy Foundation sets the standards. It enforces "social love" as the higher standard. It economically incentivizes the public good of public wellness, by ensuring each involved demonstrates improved wellness outcomes before any service provider receives full payment. Value Relating serves as its first contracted private provider. Other for-profit providers are expected to identifying wellness needs that can be better served by this conciliatory and engaging model. Think of a doctor getting well paid while serving a nonprofit hospital. But instead of relieving pain, the need-responder provider removes cause for pain by helping to resolve the underlying needs. Saybackr provides the primary platform for this new profession of need-response . Here is where need-responders coordinate wellness campaigns that bring the powerful and the vulnerable together to mutually support each other. Saybackr welcomes already existing entities to learn how to utilize this fresh new approach to better serve its mission. Need-response can be complementary or competitive to other entities such as legal institutions or psychological institutions. We welcome everyone to see how this new platform can serve the many underserved needs of our failing institutions. We welcome you to help spread the love of respecting the needs of others as your healthiest self would have them respect yours. Saybackr presentation in Google Slides Problem Putting norms first Your needs tend to be poorly served by institutions. They tend to put norms first, which somehow should satisfy your needs. Most institutions based in law (namely politics and judiciary) pit us against each other with their categories of convenience. Let's face it, our problems cannot be fully solved by selfishly opposing each other as "accuser" and "accused" or as "conservative" and "liberal". Such "toxic legalism" fails to serve our needs. We need something to address our specific needs. Something that will effectively reduce rates of severe anxiety and major depression. Something worthy of our trust to reduce pain and addictions. Something worthy of our potential to be more loving to each other. Welcome to need-response as that refreshing alternative, and the Saybackr platform that brings this new hope to our hurting world. What is this "toxic legalism" problem? Solution Putting needs first Instead of opposing each other to pursue some elusive win-lose outcome, in court or at the poll, let's pursue mutual support of each other's affected needs to create win-win outcomes. Let's stop trying in vain to fit adversarial categories that serve elite-led institutions more than the needs of the people they exist to serve. Social problems rarely get solved by simply opposing each other. Let's serve our needs over serving their institutions. The more we can fully resolve our needs, the more we can reduce anxiety, decrease depression, and lower addiction rates. Saybackr exists to bring you the need-responsive alternative to our failing institutions. Saybackr can do a better job of restoring us all to wellness, by addressing our specific needs. Saybackr puts our needs ahead of impersonal norms. Saybackr inspires us to reach more of our potential to love one another in peace. Replace legalistic activism with responsivism Problem prioritizing impersonal norms If in conflict with others, our institutions of law pit us against each other. Both adversarial justice and oppositional politics put divisive norms ahead of our personal needs. Ideally, these norms keep us honest by forcing us to face the good arguments of the other side. In practice, however, prioritizing our differences does more to provoke our defensiveness, keep us alienated from each other, and reinforce our problems. This easily results in increased anxiety and depression, among other problems. Our institutions ultimately fail. We no longer trust our institutions or their leaders. What we trusted to solve our problems now creates more problems. Mutual Antagonism If you lose in court or at the ballot, your painful needs remain unresolved. If you win, you may only get some relief from the pain of your unmet needs. Either way, mutual antagonism keep you from fully resolving your needs. Which easily traps you in pain. Antagonistic Powerholders Government or other authorities rely on impersonal laws to keep us in check. They remain removed from the actual impacts from their contentious norms. These divisive norms privilege the socially powerful to intimidate you from fully resolving your needs. Which diminishes the effectiveness of their leadership and compromises the legitimacy of their authority. Society as a whole suffers from a failed judicial system and from polarizing politics unresponsive to their specific needs. Solution prioritizing personal needs Saybackr provides a disciplined process for all involved in conflict, including powerful authorities, to carefully recognize, interpersonally relate, and more effectively resolve each other’s specified needs. This conciliatory process incentivizes each involved to measurably resolve their affected needs. In practice, this replaces the norms of mutual defensiveness with mutual understanding, mutual engagement and mutual support. All involved take an active role to more fully resolve needs, which removes causes for pain and underlying maladies, while raising individual and shared functioning. This conciliatory process aims to replace everyday outrage with more of our potential for love. Mutual Supports Instead of opposing each other, we learn more about each other’s inflexible needs. Instead of struggling in isolation, we support each other’s affected needs. Instead of evoking pain, we nurture each other’s potential for greater love. Supportive Powerholders Instead of relying heavily on impersonal laws, Saybackr holds all powerholders accountable to their impact on publicly exposed needs. This conciliatory process supports powerholders to earn their legitimacy by how well they measurably help resolve needs. The relatively powerless incentivize the powerful to be more responsive to their publicly exposed needs. The more these powerholders can be linked to extraordinary outcomes, the greater their brand of leadership. How It Works Saybackr provides a conciliatory process to incentivize all involved in a public conflict to more fully resolve their affected needs. Step 1 Powerless builds social support for resolving shared need, then launches crowdfunding campaign Step 2 Powerholders incentivized to invest in cause, then receive impact data and credentials for demonstrated leadership Step 3 Powerholders and powerless work together in a conciliatory process to support resolving each other’s needs Value Model When platform users launch campaign to resolve needs, they hire private providers to optimize their reach to powerholders. Together, they utilize platform and its features to crowdfund their campaign to more fully resolve their shared needs. Saybackr collects 10% of each crowdfunded campaign, and charges a set monthly amount for each hosted private provider. Any excess after covering costs goes to a "pool" for site users to invest in their cause of resolving shared needs.
