Simple questions but need your help
Permalink Closed

These are very simple questions but I would like to not sound like every single applicant.


Help me find different ways to answer these questions:


 


Why are you interested in working for our company?


*Just a little background info: this company has been around for years and has several store under its umbrella. I work for a reputable retailer now but I currently want to move in another direction (specialty retail) and also have better oppotunites for advancement. I also have a bachelor's in fashion merchandising if that means anything.


 


What didn't you like about your previous jobs?


*I was micro-managed when given my current promotion, and also feel I was under paid.


Ladies, I would NEVER answer this question that way so help me toss some ideas around so that I don't sound like a money hungry moron.


 


TIA!

*I was micro-managed when given my current promotion, and also feel I was under paid.  Instead of this, say:


I feel like I wasn't challenged as much as I could've been and that I want to go to a place where I will have more responsibility and room for growth.


 


GOOD LUCK!
