Here's how you can navigate interview questions about your previous job experiences.

Aquela máxima de "fazer do lim?o uma limonada" conta muito em uma entrevista. Situa??es difíceis, conflituosas e problemas no trabalho, todos enfrentamos, mas a forma como você conta essa história, diz muito mais sobre você enquanto profissional, do que a história, em si. Candidatos que falam mal da empresa, do antigo gestor ou demonstram amargura com algo que acontecem em seus empregos anteriores, reduzem muito suas chances de ser aprovados em um processo seletivo. Treine seu storytelling e tente trazer os aprendizados, os pontos positivos e as habilidades que você desenvolveu com essas situa??es n?o muito positivas que enfrentou em seus empregos anteriores.

It is totally okay to have had a bad experience with a previous employer. Focus on what you learned from it instead of complaining about the negative experience. Bad Team? Great, you learned what you valued in a team! Unorganized workflows? Great, you learned how to navigate through uncertainty and how to organize yourself. You didn′t like the daily doing? Great, you learned what you′re passionate about! Use the things you learned from your negative experience and show your learning capacities!

Preparation and a positive attitude are essential for navigating interview inquiries regarding your prior employment. Begin by evaluating your prior roles and responsibilities, with an emphasis on the skills and accomplishments that have been acquired. Provide plain and concise examples by employing the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to organise your responses. Emphasise the ways in which your experiences have equipped you with the necessary skills for the position for which you are applying. Emphasise the lessons you have acquired from those experiences and maintain a positive attitude, even when discussing obstacles or setbacks. Tailor your responses to the job requirements and company values, and be honest and specific.

I must share I have great things to say about most of the brokerages and teams I've worked with. True, some work experiences have been more enjoyable than others but even at the firms that were "more challenging" I learned a tremendous amount about loyalty, teamwork and the business of the business.

En las asesorías que brindo a las personas que están en búsqueda de empleo, siempre les digo que traten de entender muy bien la vacante que les interesa para de ese modo puedan identificar las habilidades y brindar ejemplos claros que las validen, respecto las necesidades del cargo. También sugiero que escriban esos ejemplos para de ese modo se pueda reflexionar sobre la relevancia de lo que se esté explicando. Este ejercicio también ayuda a tener más seguridad sobre las habilidades y características que el candidato tiene, pues se está buscando evidencia empírica de las competencias que se comunican

Do a little bit of research about the position and company to fully understand the requirements they have. If you don′t have the specific skill or experience, this will help you to understand which of your skills could be transferrable to the new position. I once interviewed a teacher with no sales experience and he managed to successfully transfer the skill of handling parents to how to handle objections. This can make your answers more relevant, even if you don′t have a specific skill.

I am a stickler for honesty, even to a fault. I find it is the best approach at all times. When navigating interview questions about your previous job experience, being truthful builds trust with potential employers. It shows integrity and transparency, which are highly valued traits. Moreover, honesty allows you to present your authentic self, ensuring that the role and company are the right fit for you. It also prevents future misunderstandings or conflicts that may arise from misrepresented information. In the long run, being honest in interviews fosters genuine relationships and paves the way for a successful and fulfilling career.

Si bien los procesos de entrevista son una oportunidad de mostrar nuestra mejor cara, es importante ser honesto con nuestras respuestas y no exagerar o sobre estimar las propias capacidades, pues en los procesos de entrevista, cuando se hace bien, se tiene herramientas para validar la información, normalmente expresada en la coherencia de las respuestas. Además, cuando se elevan mucho las expectativas y estas no corresponden a la conducta de la persona, se revelará la verdad, afectando la imagen futura.

When navigating interview questions about your previous job experiences, don't shy away from discussing your achievements. This is your chance to shine and set yourself apart. From my experience, sharing successful projects I've led, sales targets I've exceeded, and innovative solutions I've implemented has been impactful. For instance, I once led a project that increased our team's productivity by 30% and exceeded sales targets by 20%. Quantifying these successes gives the interviewer concrete evidence of my capabilities and potential contributions.

Hay trabajos que pueden ser monótonos y en los que no hay mucho marguen de proponer o introducir mejoras, sin embargo todos tener una manera particular de hacer las cosas en la que sin notarlo se puede aportar a la eficiencia o productividad de nuestro trabajo. El ser conscientes de estos elementos nos permitirá reconocer otros logros que aportan al desarrollo de las áreas y las empresas y pueden ser punto de partida de proyectos u otras responsabilidades mayores. Reconocer y comunicar nuestros logros no permitirá mostrarnos como personas que aprtan valor a los diferentes contextos en los que nos desenvolvemos.

Here is my opinion on this: If asked about a time when things didn't go as planned, make sure to highlight the lessons learned. Consider the following points: 1. Nobody is perfect! We all make mistakes, and actually, mistakes are necessary to get better. Each experience, whether a success or a setback, adds value and expands our horizon. 2. Sometimes we master challenges perfectly, and other times we learn from our errors. Both outcomes are valuable. 3. Admitting and reflecting on mistakes demonstrates maturity and a commitment to personal and professional growth. 4. Discussing what went wrong and how you corrected your course highlights your problem-solving skills and resilience.

When discussing previous job experiences in an interview, it's okay to admit mistakes—as long as you can demonstrate what they taught you. From my experience, candidly reflecting on times when things didn't go as planned shows self-awareness and adaptability. For example, I once launched a marketing campaign that didn't meet expectations. I analyzed what went wrong, adjusted our strategy, and the next campaign saw a 50% increase in engagement. This approach highlights my ability to learn and improve, valuable traits in the dynamic environment of a small business.

Durante nuestras carreras pueden ocurrir muchas situaciones, ya sean por causas externas o inseguridades o desconocimiento que uno como individuo puede tener, que puede desencadenar en un error. Si bien, se quisiera no pasar por ese tipo de momentos, no se está exento de vivirlos y es por ello por lo que es importante reflexionar sobre lo sucedido, ver que cosas están en nuestras manos sobre esa situación y aprender de ello, para poder mitigar que estos episodios se repitan de la misma manera. Hay errores que pueden ser grandes maestros, siempre que tengamos la disposición de aprender y cambiar.
