9 HAVE YOU EVER FAILED? You MUST have a failure or shortcoming story Your story should demonstrate that you have taken a calculated risk, but fell short of your goal Be sure to highlight the lesson learned and how you have applied it

10 HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE PEOPLE? Leaders inspire motivation is internal Examples must illustrate how you inspired a: Poor performer Team mate Demoralized team

22 GOOD FEEDBACK Your candidate is definitely motivated to do this job. Not only does he have an engineering background, but a great personality as well He will fit in well with our company. I have never met an engineer before that had such an outgoing, great personality - Vice President, Manufacturing

23 GOOD FEEDBACK She is my favorite and a very solid candidate. She made an impact and her presentation is outstanding! She gave solid examples of why she did certain things in her past. I liked the way she tied it all together. She will be getting a call shortly. - District Manager

24 GOOD FEEDBACK Mike had a great interview. He was able to bond quickly. I could tell he was excited about what he has done, and the direction in which he wants to go. We will pursue him. - Plant Manager

25 BAD INTERVIEWER FEEDBACK I had to pry the answers from him. I was looking for concrete examples on leadership, quality, and instituting change, but received vague answers. He is a lost ball in tall weeds. He has no idea what he wants to do. - Manufacturing Manager

26 BAD FEEDBACK Just no spark. He answered the questions fully, but showed no enthusiasm for the position. I wasn t convinced he wanted the job and just don t see him fitting into the organization. - Manufacturing Manager

27 BAD FEEDBACK He did not do very well. He was not able to build rapport at all. All his answers were, yes, and no. I could tell he was nervous, but come on, this is not an inquisition. I had to pull everything out of him. That interview was work! We will pass on him. - District Sales Manager

28 BAD FEEDBACK No way! This guy cursed in the interview. He seemed to be very autocratic. He was intimidating and frankly, scary! If he acted like that on the floor, our team would go bananas. - VP, Operations
