39 Demolition Worker Questions and Answers:

1 :: Tell me why do you want a career as an asbestos worker?

I like it as career because I know what I put myself into, specially is very dangerous.

2 :: Where do you see yourself in five years' time as Demolition Worker?

For this question, the interviewer is looking for an answer that shows you have goals and are ambitious. Be honest but realistic.

Avoid talking about money or starting up your own business as these are not the intentions your potential employers will be looking for you to have. Instead, contextualise your ambitions to fit in with the role and company as this will show the interviewer that you are committed and driven.

3 :: Do you prefer working by yourself or working in a team as Demolition Worker?

This question is a tricky one as both are hugely important. Show that you are aware of the benefits of both and that you understand that you need to be comfortable working in either scenario.

4 :: Tell me what do you know about the company?

In order to answer this question well, you must show awareness of what the company does, including the different service areas it offers, who its main clients are and have a good idea about the size of the company. You should also research the history the business and find out as much as you can about when it was started and what the company has achieved.

It doesn't matter how competent and qualified you are for the role, if you turn up to the interview unprepared for this question, you run the risk of completely ruining your chances of getting the job.

5 :: Tell us what makes a good team leader/manager?

This is a difficult question as most people will have different ideas about what makes a good manager. If you're applying for a managerial role or if there is potential for you to progress into one from the position you're applying for, you need to show a good understanding of the most important qualities to have to manage people effectively.

Setting realistic goals, giving constructive feedback and providing support to team members to help them build their skills set are all good examples of excellent management qualities.

6 :: How would you handle an upset or unruly customer?

I have dealt with numerous difficult customers in the past. I have found that the best method is to avoid arguing is to simply apologize. Regardless if the customer is in the wrong, it is not worth the hassle, and I definitely would not want to make a scene in front of everyone else in the building. I would then provide the customer with a new beverage or food item of their choice. I believe that smoothing everything out in a professional manner is the best way to move past the situation and to ensure the customer would be willing to return to the shop in the future.

7 :: What is your favorite type of coffee?

I love a well-prepared cappuccino. I prefer mine dark with a little less milk than normal, and if the barista can sprinkle some grated chocolate on top, all the better.

8 :: Things tend to get busy around here, particularly in the morning. How do you manage stress?

I believe the best way to deal with stress on the job is to ensure that everyone on the team is contributing. I would make sure we have dedicated people to man the registers while other individuals are busy preparing the drinks, prioritizing when needed to ensure customers get their orders in a timely manner.
One time at a previous café, someone unexpectedly did not show up to work. We all worked even harder to ensure the customers were satisfied for rush hour. Afterward, I made sure to thank everyone personally and tell them how appreciative I was of their efforts.

9 :: Explain me what do you consider to be your biggest failure?

The key with this question is to see it as a positive and as an opportunity to discuss your personal growth. The biggest mistake you can make with your answer is to say that you haven't had any failures. This will come across defensive and will damage your credibility.

Choose an answer that you can draw positives from and explain what you learnt from this failure. It's important to be accountable for your own mistakes so avoid blaming your failure on anyone else. Instead, explain why you failed and how you used this failure as a springboard for success.

10 :: Explain me about an achievement you are proud of?

This question is very popular with employers so you need to make sure that you have an answer ready. Generally-speaking, the interviewer is looking for a work-related or academic answer, so you're best to avoid talking about your personal life unless you can relate it to work.

Although you may have a number of accomplishments you are proud of, you're best to choose one that you can speak about in detail. Explain what the situation was, the challenges you faced, how you dealt with it and the outcome in a concise and confident manner. Show enthusiasm and speak proudly about your achievements to invoke a positive response in the interviewer.
