1.
What industry experience do you have that qualifies you to do this job?
My
knowledge and experience in this industry encompasses a total of 10 years. I
see real value in my years of experience with a company that has similar customers
and contacts. I have built strong relationships throughout my career that will
help me hit the ground running at this company.
I
consider myself an expert in the field of data mining. As you can see from my
résumé, I have worked nationally and internationally as a consultant. I have
worked with Fortune 500 companies as well as small start-ups. I have a broad scope
of experience and expertise to pull from to analyze and solve problems of a
broad scope.
I’ve
been interested in working for your company for some time. I have extensive
experience in the fashion industry and know that sales are on the soft side
right now because of economic conditions. I also know that you have a new
product set to launch by the end of the year. I am interested in becoming a key
contributor. I want to be part of the team that makes this company a stronger
contender in today’s challenging market.
2. What can you bring to this job from your previous experience?
My
extensive experience and educational background qualify me as an expert. My
wide range of experiences in both the education system as well as the business sector
allows me to have a broader view of how a school system can be run like a
business. My past success and accomplishments speak for the value I can bring
to this type of position.
I
have made some long-lasting relationships with customers by building rapport
through trust. I pride myself on my customer service skills, including
follow-through and experience. I am very thorough, with strong attention to
detail. I enjoy thinking ‘outside the box’ and coming up with new ways to look at
old problems—either on my own or as a team member.
My
successes in customer service have made me one of the top producers in my
company. I have customers who ask for me specifically when they have problems
because they know that I will listen and do whatever I can to resolve the
situation.
3. How does this job compare and contrast with what you have done in the past?
This
job is very similar in that I would be selling to a similar customer base. The
contrast would be the nature of the product and your company’s reputation in
standing behind the product. I believe that, armed with these additional tools,
I can bring very good results to the territory and company.
The
company is different and the product is new, but I know I have what it takes to
do this job. In my last position within two months of being hired I was on the
top performer list.
The
job I was performing in my last company was almost a perfect match with this
job. I really loved that job and was sorry when I was laid off. The company
went through many changes, and eventually my job was affected. What I liked
most about the job was that I worked in a team environment with some really
great people. I know that this job has a similar team environment, and that’s
why I’m interested in pursuing the opportunity.
