You may not be asked exactly these questions in exactly these words, but if you have answers in mind for them, you’ll be prepared for just about anything the interviewer throws your way.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">1. Tell Me About Yourself.</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This question seems simple, so many people fail to prepare for it, but it’s crucial. Here's the deal: Don’t give your complete employment (or personal) history. Instead, give a pitch—one that’s concise and compelling and that shows exactly why you’re the right fit for the job. Muse writer and MIT career counselor Lily Zhang recommends using a present, past, future formula. Talk a little bit about your current role (including the scope and perhaps one big accomplishment), then give some background as to how you got there and the experience you have that’s relevant. Finally, segue into why you want—and would be perfect for—this role.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/tell-me-about-yourself-interview-question-answer-examples" target="_blank">A Complete Guide to Answering “Tell Me About Yourself” in an Interview (Plus Examples!</a>)</i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">2. How Did You Hear About This Position?</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Another seemingly innocuous interview question, this is actually a perfect opportunity to stand out and show your passion for and connection to the company. For example, if you found out about the gig through a friend or professional contact, name-drop that person, then share why you were so excited about the job. If you discovered the company through an event or article, share that. Even if you found the listing through a random job board, share what, specifically, caught your eye about the role.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/3-ways-people-mess-up-the-simple-answer-to-how-did-you-come-across-this-job-opportunity" target="_blank">3 Ways People Mess Up the (Simple) Answer to “How Did You Come Across This Job Opportunity?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">3. Why Do You Want to Work at This Company?</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Beware of generic answers! If what you say can apply to a whole slew of other companies, or if your response makes you sound like every other candidate, you’re missing an opportunity to stand out. Zhang recommends one of four strategies: Do your research and point to something that makes the company unique that really appeals to you; talk about how you’ve watched the company grow and change since you first heard of it; focus on the organization’s opportunities for future growth and how you can contribute to it; or share what’s gotten you excited from your interactions with employees so far. Whichever route you choose, make sure to be specific. And if you can’t figure out why you’d want to work at the company you’re interviewing with by the time you’re well into the hiring process? It might be a red flag telling you that this position is not the right fit.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/4-better-ways-to-answer-why-do-you-want-to-work-at-this-company" target="_blank">4 Better Ways to Answer “Why Do You Want to Work at This Company?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>4. Why Do You Want This Job?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Again, companies want to hire people who are passionate about the job, so you should have a great answer about why you want the position. (And if you don’t? You probably should apply elsewhere.) First, identify a couple of key factors that make the role a great fit for you (e.g., “I love customer support because I love the constant human interaction and the satisfaction that comes from helping someone solve a problem”), then share why you love the company (e.g., “I’ve always been passionate about education, and I think you’re doing great things, so I want to be a part of it”).</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/3-steps-for-answering-why-do-you-want-this-job" target="_blank">3 Steps for Answering “Why Do You Want This Job?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>5. Why Should We Hire You?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This interview question seems forward (not to mention intimidating!), but if you’re asked it, you’re in luck: There’s no better setup for you to sell yourself and your skills to the hiring manager. Your job here is to craft an answer that covers three things: that you can not only do the work but also deliver great results; that you’ll really fit in with the team and culture; and that you’d be a better hire than any of the other candidates.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/3-better-ways-to-answer-why-should-we-hire-you" target="_blank">3 Better Ways to Answer “Why Should We Hire You?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>6. What Are Your Greatest Strengths?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here’s an opening to talk about something that makes you great—and a great fit for this role. When you’re answering this question, think quality, not quantity. In other words, don’t rattle off a list of adjectives. Instead, pick one or a few (depending on the question) specific qualities that are relevant to this position and illustrate them with examples. Stories are always more memorable than generalizations. And if there’s something you were hoping to mention because it makes you a great candidate, but you haven’t had a chance yet, this would be the perfect time.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/3-smart-strategies-for-answering-whats-your-greatest-strength" target="_blank">3 Smart Strategies for Answering “What's Your Greatest Strength?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>7. What Do You Consider to Be Your Weaknesses?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">What your interviewer is really trying to do with this question—beyond identifying any major red flags—is to gauge your self-awareness and honesty. So, “I can’t meet a deadline to save my life” is not an option—but neither is “Nothing! I’m perfect!” Strike a balance by thinking of something that you struggle with but that you’re working to improve. For example, maybe you’ve never been strong at public speaking, but you’ve recently volunteered to run meetings to help you get more comfortable when addressing a crowd.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/4-ways-to-answer-whats-your-biggest-weakness-that-actually-sound-believable" target="_blank">4 Ways to Answer “What Is Your Greatest Weakness?” That Actually Sound Believable</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Questions About Your Work History</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>The meat of any job interview is your track record at work: what you accomplished, how you succeeded or failed (and how you dealt with it), and how you behaved in real-time in actual work environments. If you prep a few versatile stories to tell about your work history and practice answering behavioral interview questions, you’ll be ready to go.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>8. What Is Your Greatest Professional Achievement?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Nothing says “hire me” better than a track record of achieving amazing results in past jobs, so don’t be shy when answering this interview question! A great way to do so is by using the STAR method: situation, task, action, results. Set up the situation and the task that you were required to complete to provide the interviewer with background context (e.g., “In my last job as a junior analyst, it was my role to manage the invoicing process”), then describe what you did (the action) and what you achieved (the result): “In one month, I streamlined the process, which saved my group 10 person-hours each month and reduced errors on invoices by 25%.”</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/greatest-accomplishment-interview-question-answer-examples" target="_blank">The Perfect Formula for Answering “What Is Your Greatest Accomplishment” in an Interview</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>9. Tell Me About a Challenge or Conflict You’ve Faced at Work, and How You Dealt With It.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You’re probably not eager to talk about conflicts you’ve had at work during a job interview. But if you’re asked directly, don’t pretend you’ve never had one. Be honest about a difficult situation you’ve faced (but without going into the kind of detail you’d share venting to a friend). “Most people who ask are only looking for evidence that you’re willing to face these kinds of issues head-on and make a sincere attempt at coming to a resolution,” former recruiter Richard Moy says. Stay calm and professional as you tell the story (and answer any follow-up questions), spend more time talking about the resolution than the conflict, and mention what you’d do differently next time to show “you’re open to learning from tough experiences.”</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/3-ways-youre-messing-up-the-answer-to-tell-me-about-a-conflict-youve-faced-at-work" target="_blank">3 Ways You’re Messing Up the Answer to “Tell Me About a Conflict You’ve Faced at Work”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>10. Tell Me About a Time You Demonstrated Leadership Skills.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You don’t have to have a fancy title to act like a leader or demonstrate leadership skills. Think about a time when you headed up a project, took the initiative to propose an alternate process, or helped motivate your team to get something done. Then use the STAR method to tell your interviewer a story, giving enough detail to paint a picture (but not so much that you start rambling) and making sure you spell out the result. In other words, be clear about why you’re telling this particular story and connect all the dots for the interviewer.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/demonstrated-leadership-skills-job-interview-question-answer-examples" target="_blank">The Best Way to Answer “Tell Me About a Time You Demonstrated Leadership Skills” in a Job Interview</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>11. What’s a Time You Disagreed With a Decision That Was Made at Work?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The ideal anecdote here is one where you handled a disagreement professionally and learned something from the experience. Zhang recommends paying particular attention to how you start and end your response. To open, make a short statement to frame the rest of your answer, one that nods at the ultimate takeaway or the reason you’re telling this story. For example: “I learned early on in my professional career that it’s fine to disagree if you can back up your hunches with data.” And to close strong, you can either give a one-sentence summary of your answer (“In short…”) or talk briefly about how what you learned or gained from this experience would help you in the role you’re interviewing for.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/conflict-with-boss-interview-question-answer-examples" target="_blank">Here’s the Secret to Answering “Tell Me About a Time You Had a Conflict With Your Boss” in an Interview</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>12. Tell Me About a Time You Made a Mistake.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You’re probably not too eager to dig into past blunders when you’re trying to impress an interviewer and land a job. But talking about a mistake and winning someone over aren’t mutually exclusive, Moy says. In fact, if you do it right, it can help you. The key is to be honest without placing blame on other people, then explain what you learned from your mistake and what actions you took to ensure it didn’t happen again. At the end of the day, employers are looking for folks who are self-aware, can take feedback, and care about doing better.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/3-rules-that-guarantee-youll-nail-the-answer-to-tell-me-about-a-time-you-made-a-mistake" target="_blank">3 Rules That Guarantee You'll Nail the Answer to “Tell Me About a Time You Made a Mistake”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>13. Tell Me About a Time You Failed.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This question is very similar to the one about making a mistake, and you should approach your answer in much the same way. Make sure you pick a real, actual failure you can speak honestly about. Start by making it clear to the interviewer how you define failure. For instance: “As a manager, I consider it a failure whenever I’m caught by surprise. I strive to know what’s going on with my team and their work.” Then situate your story in relation to that definition and explain what happened. Finally, don’t forget to share what you learned. It’s OK to fail—everyone does sometimes—but it’s important to show that you took something from the experience.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/4-steps-for-answering-tell-me-about-a-time-you-failed" target="_blank">4 Steps for Answering “Tell Me About a Time When You Failed</a>”</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>14. Why Are You Leaving Your Current Job?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is a toughie, but one you can be sure you’ll be asked. Definitely keep things positive—you have nothing to gain by being negative about your current employer. Instead, frame things in a way that shows that you’re eager to take on new opportunities and that the role you’re interviewing for is a better fit for you. For example, “I’d really love to be part of product development from beginning to end, and I know I’d have that opportunity here.” And if you were let go from your most recent job? Keep it simple: “Unfortunately, I was let go,” is a totally acceptable answer.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/4-better-ways-to-answer-why-are-you-leaving-your-job" target="_blank">4 Better Ways to Answer “Why Are You Leaving Your Job?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>15. Why Were You Fired?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Of course, they may ask the follow-up question: Why were you let go? If you lost your job due to layoffs, you can simply say, “The company [reorganized/merged/was acquired] and unfortunately my [position/department] was eliminated.” But what if you were fired for performance reasons? Your best bet is to be honest (the job-seeking world is small, after all). But it doesn’t have to be a deal-breaker. Frame it as a learning experience: Share how you’ve grown and how you approach your job and life now as a result. And if you can portray your growth as an advantage for this next job, even better.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/stop-cringing-how-to-tell-an-interviewer-youve-been-fired" target="_blank">Stop Cringing!

Why Was There a Gap in Your Employment?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Maybe you were taking care of children or aging parents, dealing with health issues, or traveling the world. Maybe it just took you a long time to land the right job. Whatever the reason, you should be prepared to discuss the gap (or gaps) on your resume. Seriously, practice saying your answer out loud. The key is to be honest, though that doesn’t mean you have to share more details than you’re comfortable with. If there are skills or qualities you honed or gained in your time away from the workforce—whether through volunteer work, running a home, or responding to a personal crisis—you can also talk about how those would help you excel in this role.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-explain-the-gap-in-your-resume-with-ease" target="_blank">How to Explain the Gap in Your Resume With Ease</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>17. Can You Explain Why You Changed Career Paths?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Don’t be thrown off by this question—just take a deep breath and explain to the hiring manager why you’ve made the career decisions you have. More importantly, give a few examples of how your past experience is transferable to the new role. This doesn’t have to be a direct connection; in fact, it’s often more impressive when a candidate can show how seemingly irrelevant experience is very relevant to the role.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-explain-your-winding-career-path-to-a-hiring-manager" target="_blank">How to Explain Your Winding Career Path to a Hiring Manager</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>18. What’s Your Current Salary?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It’s now illegal for some or all employers to ask you about your salary history in several cities and states, including New York City; Louisville, North Carolina; California; and Massachusetts. But no matter where you live, it can be stressful to hear this question. Don’t panic—there are several possible strategies you can turn to. For example, you can deflect the question, Muse career coach Emily Liou says, with a response like: “Before discussing any salary, I’d really like to learn more about what this role entails. I’ve done a lot of research on [Company] and I am certain if it’s the right fit, we’ll be able to agree on a number that’s fair and competitive to both parties.” You can also reframe the question around your salary expectations or requirements (see question 38) or choose to share the number if you think it will work in your favor.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/answer-illegal-salary-question-right-way" target="_blank">Here's How You Answer the Illegal “What's Your Current Salary” Question</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>19. What Do You Like Least About Your Job?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tread carefully here! The last thing you want to do is let your answer devolve into a rant about how terrible your current company is or how much you hate your boss or that one coworker. The easiest way to handle this question with poise is to focus on an opportunity the role you’re interviewing for offers that your current job doesn’t. You can keep the conversation positive and emphasize why you’re so excited about the job.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/what-do-you-like-least-about-your-job-interview-question-answer" target="_blank">What Interviewers Really Want When They Ask, “What Do You Like Least About Your Job?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Questions About You and Your Goals</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Another crucial aspect of an interview? Getting to know a candidate. That’s why you’ll likely encounter questions about how you work, what you’re looking for (in a job, a team, a company, and a manager), and what your goals are. It’s a good sign if your interviewers want to make sure you’ll be a good fit—or add—to the team. Use it as an opportunity!</i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>20. What Are You Looking for in a New Position?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hint: Ideally the same things that this position has to offer.

What’s Your Management Style?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The best managers are strong but flexible, and that’s exactly what you want to show off in your answer. (Think something like, “While every situation and every team member requires a bit of a different strategy, I tend to approach my employee relationships as a coach...”) Then share a couple of your best managerial moments, like when you grew your team from five to 15 or coached an underperforming employee to become the company’s top salesperson.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-answer-whats-your-management-style" target="_blank">How to Answer “What’s Your Management Style?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>23. How Would Your Boss and Coworkers Describe You?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">First, be honest (remember, if you make it to the final round, the hiring manager will be calling your former bosses and coworkers for references!). Then try to pull out strengths and traits you haven’t discussed in other aspects of the interview, such as your strong work ethic or your willingness to pitch in on other projects when needed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/3-strategies-for-answering-how-would-your-boss-or-coworkers-describe-you" target="_blank">3 Strategies for Answering “How Would Your Boss or Coworkers Describe You?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>24. How Do You Deal With Pressure or Stressful Situations?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here’s another question you may feel the urge to sidestep in an effort to prove you’re the perfect candidate who can handle anything. But it’s important not to dismiss this one (i.e. don’t say, “I just put my head down and push through it,” or, “I don’t get stressed out”). Instead, talk about your go-to strategies for dealing with stress (whether it’s meditating for 10 minutes every day or making sure you go for a run or keeping a super-detailed to-do list) and how you communicate and otherwise proactively try to mitigate pressure. If you can give a real example of a stressful situation you navigated successfully, all the better.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/3-ways-youre-messing-up-the-answer-to-how-do-you-deal-with-stressful-situations" target="_blank">3 Ways You’re Messing Up the Answer to “How Do You Deal With Stressful Situations?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>25. What Do You Like to Do Outside of Work?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Interviewers will sometimes ask about your hobbies or interests outside of work in order to get to know you a little better—to find out what you’re passionate about and devote time to during your off-hours. It’s another chance to let your personality shine. Be honest, but keep it professional and be mindful of answers that might make it sound like you’re going to spend all your time focusing on something other than the job you’re applying for.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/hobbies-job-interview-question-answer-examples" target="_blank">How to Answer “What Are Your Hobbies?” in an Interview (It’s Not a Trick Question!)</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>26. Are You Planning on Having Children?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Questions about your family status, gender (“How would you handle managing a team of all men?”), nationality (“Where were you born?”), religion or age is illegal—but they still get asked (and frequently). Of course, not always with ill intent—the interviewer might just be trying to make conversation and might not realize these are off-limits—but you should definitely tie any questions about your personal life (or anything else you think might be inappropriate) back to the job at hand. For this question, think: “You know, I’m not quite there yet. But I am very interested in the career paths at your company. Can you tell me more about that?”</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/5-illegal-interview-questions-and-how-to-dodge-them" target="_blank">5 Illegal Interview Questions and How to Dodge Them</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>27. How Do You Prioritize Your Work?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Your interviewers want to know that you can manage your time, exercise judgment, communicate, and shift gears when needed. Start by talking about whatever system you’ve found works for you to plan your day or week, whether it’s a to-do list app you swear by or a color-coded spreadsheet. This is one where you’ll definitely want to lean on a real-life example. So go on to describe how you’ve reacted to a last-minute request or another unexpected shift in priorities in the past, incorporating how you evaluated and decided what to do and how you communicated with your manager and/or teammates about it.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-do-you-prioritize-your-work-interview-question-answer-examples" target="_blank">A Foolproof Method to Answer the Interview Question “How Do You Prioritize Your Work?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>28. What Are You Passionate About?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You’re not a robot programmed to do your work and then power down. You’re a human, and if someone asks you this question in an interview, it’s probably because they want to get to know you better. The answer can align directly with the type of work you’d be doing in that role—like if, for example, you’re applying to be a graphic designer and spend all of your free time creating illustrations and data visualizations to post on Instagram.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">But don’t be afraid to talk about a hobby that’s different from your day-to-day work. Bonus points if you can “take it one step further and connect how your passion would make you an excellent candidate for the role you are applying for,” says Muse career coach Al Dea. Like if you’re a software developer who loves to bake, you might talk about how the ability to be both creative and precise informs your approach to code.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/what-are-you-passionate-about-interview-question-answer-example" target="_blank">3 Authentic Ways to Answer “What Are You Passionate About?” in a Job Interview</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>29. What Motivates You?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Before you panic about answering what feels like a probing existential question, consider that the interviewer wants to make sure you’re excited about this role at this company and that you’ll be motivated to succeed if they pick you. So think back to what has energized you in previous roles and pinpoint what made your eyes light up when you read this job description. Pick one thing, make sure it’s relevant to the role and company you’re interviewing for, and try to weave in a story to help illustrate your point. If you’re honest, which you should be, your enthusiasm will be palpable.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/what-motivates-you-interview-question-answer-examples" target="_blank">5 Easy Steps to Answer “What Motivates You?” in an Interview</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>30. What Are Your Pet Peeves?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here’s another one that feels like a minefield. But it’ll be easier to navigate if you know why an interviewer is asking it. Most likely, they want to make sure you’ll thrive at their company—and get a glimpse of how you deal with conflict. So be certain you pick something that doesn’t contradict the culture and environment at this organization while still being honest. Then explain why and what you’ve done to address it in the past, doing your best to stay calm and composed. Since there’s no need to dwell on something that annoys you, you can keep this response short and sweet.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/what-are-your-pet-peeves-interview-question-answer" target="_blank">6 Tips for Answering “What Are Your Pet Peeves?” in an Interview</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>31. How Do You Like to Be Managed?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is another one of those questions that’s about finding the right fit—both from the company’s perspective and your own. Think back on what worked well for you in the past and what didn’t. What did previous bosses do that motivated you and helped you succeed and grow? Pick one or two things to focus on and always articulate them with positive framing (even if your preference comes from an experience where your manager behaved in the opposite way, phrase it as what you would want a manager to do). If you can give a positive example from a great boss, it’ll make your answer even stronger.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-answer-how-do-you-like-to-be-managed-interview-question" target="_blank">3 Easy Steps to Answer “How Do You Like to Be Managed?” in an Interview</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>32. Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If asked this question, be honest and specific about your future goals, but consider this: A hiring manager wants to know a) if you've set realistic expectations for your career, b) if you have ambition (a.k.a., this interview isn't the first time you’re considering the question), and c) if the position aligns with your goals and growth. Your best bet is to think realistically about where this position could take you and answer along those lines. And if the position isn’t necessarily a one-way ticket to your aspirations? It’s OK to say that you’re not quite sure what the future holds, but that you see this experience playing an important role in helping you make that decision.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-answer-where-do-you-see-yourself-in-5-years" target="_blank">How to Answer “Where Do You See Yourself in 5 Years?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>33. What’s Your Dream Job?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Along similar lines, the interviewer wants to uncover whether this position is really in line with your ultimate career goals. While “an NBA star” might get you a few laughs, a better bet is to talk about your goals and ambitions—and why this job will get you closer to them.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/the-secret-formula-to-answering-whats-your-dream-job-in-an-interview" target="_blank">The Secret Formula to Answering “What's Your Dream Job?” in an Interview</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>34. What Other Companies Are You Interviewing With?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Companies might ask you who else you’re interviewing with for a few reasons. Maybe they want to see how serious you are about this role and team (or even this field) or they’re trying to find out who they’re competing with to hire you. On one hand, you want to express your enthusiasm for this job, but at the same time, you don’t want to give the company any more leverage than it already has by telling them there’s no one else in the running. Depending on where you are in your search, you can talk about applying to or interviewing for a few roles that have XYZ in common—then mention how and why this role seems like a particularly good fit.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-answer-what-other-companies-are-you-interviewing-with" target="_blank">How to Answer “What Other Companies Are You Interviewing With?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>35. What Makes You Unique?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">“They genuinely want to know the answer,” Dea promises. Give them a reason to pick you over other similar candidates. The key is to keep your answer relevant to the role you’re applying to. So the fact that you can run a six-minute mile or crush a trivia challenge might not help you get the job (but hey, it depends on the job!). Use this opportunity to tell them something that would give you an edge over your competition for this position. To figure out what that is, you can ask some former colleagues, think back to patterns you’ve seen in feedback you get, or try to distill why people tend to turn to you. Focus on one or two things and don’t forget to back up whatever you say with evidence.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-answer-what-makes-you-unique-samples" target="_blank">A Simple Way to Answer “What Makes You Unique?” in Your Job Search (Plus, Examples!)</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>36. What Should I Know That’s Not on Your Resume?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It’s a good sign if a recruiter or hiring manager is interested in more than just what’s on your resume. It probably means they looked at your resume, think you might be a good fit for the role and want to know more about you. To make this wide-open question a little more manageable, try talking about a positive trait, a story or detail that reveals a little more about you and your experience, or a mission or goal that makes you excited about this role or company.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/the-right-way-to-answer-what-should-i-know-thats-not-on-your-resume" target="_blank">The Right Way to Answer “What Should I Know That’s Not on Your Resume?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Questions About the Job</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>At the end of the day, the people on the other side of the hiring process want to make sure you could take on this role. That means they might ask you logistical questions to ensure that timing and other factors are aligned, and they might have you imagine what you’d do after starting.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>37. What Would Your First 30, 60, or 90 Days Look Like in This Role?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Your potential future boss (or whoever else has asked you this question) wants to know that you’ve done your research, given some thought to how you’d get started, and would be able to take initiative if hired. So think about what information and aspects of the company and team you’d need to familiarize yourself with and which colleagues you’d want to sit down and talk to. You can also suggest one possible starter project to show you’d be ready to hit the ground running and contribute early on. This won’t necessarily be the thing you do first if you do get the job, but a good answer shows that you’re thoughtful and that you care.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/30-60-90-day-plan-instructions-template-example" target="_blank">The 30-60-90 Day Plan: Your Secret Weapon for New Job Success</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>38. What Are Your Salary Expectations?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The number one rule of answering this question is: Figure out your salary requirements ahead of time. Do your research on what similar roles pay by using sites like PayScale and reaching out to your network. Be sure to take your experience, education, skills, and personal needs into account, too! From there, Muse career coach Jennifer Fink suggests choosing from one of three strategies:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Give a salary range: But keep the bottom of your stated range toward the mid-to-high point of what you’re actually hoping for, Fink says.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Flip the question: Try something like “That's a great question—it would be helpful if you could share what the range is for this role,” Fink says.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Delay answering: Tell your interviewer that you’d like to learn more about the role or the rest of the compensation package before discussing pay.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">(Need help responding to a question about your salary requirements on an application form?

What Do You Think We Could Do Better or Differently?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This question can really do a number on you. How do you give a meaty answer without insulting the company or, worse, the person you’re speaking with? Well first, take a deep breath. Then start your response with something positive about the company or specific product you’ve been asked to discuss. When you’re ready to give your constructive feedback, give some background on the perspective you’re bringing to the table and explain why you’d make the change you’re suggesting (ideally based on some past experience or other evidence). And if you end with a question, you can show them you’re curious about the company or product and open to other points of view. Try: “Did you consider that approach here? I’d love to know more about your process.”</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-answer-the-how-would-you-improve-our-company-interview-question-without-bashing-anyone" target="_blank">How to Answer the “How Would You Improve Our Company?” Interview Question Without Bashing Anyone</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>40. When Can You Start?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Your goal here should be to set realistic expectations that will work for both you and the company. What exactly that sounds like will depend on your specific situation. If you’re ready to start immediately—if you’re unemployed, for example—you could offer to start within the week. But if you need to give notice to your current employer, don’t be afraid to say so; people will understand and respect that you plan to wrap things upright. It’s also legitimate to want to take a break between jobs, though you might want to say you have “previously scheduled commitments to attend to” and try to be flexible if they really need someone to start a bit sooner.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/when-can-you-start-interview-question" target="_blank">4 Ways to Answer the Interview Question “When Can You Start?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>41. Are You Willing to Relocate?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">While this may sound like a simple yes-or-no question, it’s often a little bit more complicated than that. The simplest scenario is one where you’re totally open to moving and would be willing to do so for this opportunity. But if the answer is no, or at least not right now, you can reiterate your enthusiasm for the role, briefly explain why you can’t move at this time, and offer an alternative, like working remotely or out of a local office. Sometimes it’s not as clear-cut, and that’s OK. You can say you prefer to stay put for xyz reasons, but would be willing to consider relocating for the right opportunity.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/are-you-willing-to-relocate-interview-question-answer-example" target="_blank">The Best Responses to “Are You Willing to Relocate?” Depending on Your Situation</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Questions That Test You</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Depending on the style of the interviewer and company, you could get some pretty quirky questions. They’re often testing how you think through something on the spot. Don’t panic. Take a moment to think—and remember, there’s no one single correct answer or approach.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>42. How Many Tennis Balls Can You Fit Into a Limousine?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">1,000? 10,000? 100,000? Seriously? Well, seriously, you might get asked brain-teaser questions like these, especially in quantitative jobs. But remember that the interviewer doesn’t necessarily want an exact number—they want to make sure that you understand what’s being asked of you, and that you can set into motion a systematic and logical way to respond. So take a deep breath and start thinking through the math. (Yes, it’s OK to ask for a pen and paper!)</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: </span><a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/9-steps-to-solving-an-impossible-brain-teaser-in-a-tech-interview-without-breaking-a-sweat" style="font-family: verdana;" target="_blank">9 Steps to Solving an Impossible Brain Teaser in a Tech Interview (Without Breaking a Sweat)</a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>43. If You Were an Animal, Which One Would You Want to Be?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Seemingly random personality-test-type questions like these come up in interviews because hiring managers want to see how you can think on your feet. There’s no wrong answer here, but you’ll immediately gain bonus points if your answer helps you share your strengths or personality or connect with the hiring manager. Pro tip: Come up with a stalling tactic to buy yourself some thinking time, such as saying, “Now, that is a great question. I think I would have to say…”</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/4-steps-for-answering-offthewall-interview-questions" target="_blank">4 Steps for Answering Off-the-Wall Interview Questions</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>44. Sell Me This Pen.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you’re interviewing for a sales job, your interviewer might put you on the spot to sell them a pen sitting on the table, or a legal pad, or a water bottle, or just something. The main thing they’re testing you for? How you handle a high-pressure situation. So try to stay calm and confident and use your body language—making eye contact, sitting up straight, and more—to convey that you can handle this. Make sure you listen, understand your “customer’s” needs, get specific about the item’s features and benefits, and end strong—as though you were truly closing a deal.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-answer-sell-me-this-pen" target="_blank">4 Tips for Responding to "Sell Me This Pen" in an Interview</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Wrapping-Up Questions</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>When it comes time for the interview to wind down, you might have a chance to add any last thoughts and you’ll almost certainly have time to ask the questions that will help you decide if this company and role might be great for you. In fact, if they don’t leave time for you to ask any questions at any of your interviews, that might be a red flag in itself.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>45. Is There Anything Else You’d Like Us to Know?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Just when you thought you were done, your interviewer asks you this open-ended doozy. Don’t panic—it’s not a trick question! You can use this as an opportunity to close out the meeting on a high note in one of two ways, Zhang says. First, if there really is something relevant that you haven’t had a chance to mention, do it now. Otherwise, you can briefly summarize your qualifications. For example, Zhang says, you could say: “I think we’ve covered most of it, but just to summarize, it sounds like you’re looking for someone who can really hit the ground running. And with my previous experience [enumerate experience here], I think I’d be a great fit.”</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read More: <a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-answer-is-there-anything-else-youd-like-us-to-know" target="_blank">How to Answer “Is There Anything Else You’d Like Us to Know?”</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>46. Do You Have Any Questions for Us?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You probably already know that an interview isn’t just a chance for a hiring manager to grill you—it’s an opportunity to sniff out whether a job is a right fit from your perspective. What do you want to know about the position? The company? The department? The team? You’ll cover a lot of this in the actual interview, so have a few less-common questions ready to go. We especially like questions targeted to the interviewer (“What's your favorite part about working here?”) or the company’s growth (“What can you tell me about your new products or plans for growth?”) If you’re interviewing for a remote role, there are some specific questions you might want to ask related to that.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #999999;"><i>ST.</i></span></p>

Điều đó có nghĩa là họ thôi than vãn về những thứ họ không sở hữu và bắt đầu thoả mãn với những thứ mình đang có.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hạnh phúc khi là chính mình, với suy nghĩ thoải mái và tích cực rằng mình là người phụ nữ tuyệt vời với những việc mình đang làm, chứ không phải mình chỉ có thể tuyệt vời khi có vẻ đẹp lộng lẫy, một công việc tốt và một bản lý lịch ấn tượng. Có người phụ nữ như vậy bên cạnh, chắc hẳn cánh mày râu cũng cảm thấy rằng mình cũng thật may mắn và hạnh phúc.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>2.

Thực tế là mọi người đều có thể sở hữu một chút bướng bỉnh nên nếu đàn ông tìm được một người phụ nữ sẵn sàng lùi bước vì mình thì đừng bao giờ đánh mất cô ấy.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>3.

Họ không hà khắc, thấu hiểu và biết điều, không kén cá chọn canh.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>4.

Đàn ông thích hình mẫu phụ nữ mang lại cho họ cảm giác không bị phụ thuộc, rối tung cuộc sống chỉ vì sự đợi chờ. Họ thích một người phụ nữ biết cách cân đối quỹ thời gian, làm việc dựa theo sự nhịp nhàng của bản thân để chính họ không bị xáo trộn cuộc sống và sự nghiệp.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>5.

Họ ấn tượng với phụ nữ biết mình là ai, ở đâu, biết mình đang làm gì nói gì và muốn gì. Từ đó, người phụ nữ tự tin dễ dàng hơn trong việc trở thành người có giá trị cao trong xã hội, nhận được nhiều sự tôn trọng từ những người xung quanh.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Những người phụ nữ như thế này sẽ có tầm nhìn sâu rộng, có thể yêu thương và trung thành với cảm xúc chân thành trong nội tâm của chính mình. Họ sẽ không dễ dàng đánh mất bản thân trước những cám dỗ ở đời.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">St.</span></div>

How you Treat your Employees determines your Future!

In this fast-paced, rapidly changing business environment in which corporate growth and profitability are critical, companies need to revamp their strategy for finding and retaining the best talent. <b>According to research by Gallup less than 30 percent of employees say they are loyal to their company</b>. Frequent turnover has a negative impact on employee morale, productivity and company revenue. Every time a business loses and replaces a salaried employee, it can costs up to 6 to 9 months’ salary. A lack of loyalty isn’t just employees who are leaving. In many cases, they stay on and show disloyalty through attitudes. In a way, that’s worse than if they left.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If companies are going to excel, they need two things: Loyal Employees and Loyal Customers. The link between employee satisfaction and productivity is long-established. Research has found that happy workers are 12% more productive than their less satisfied counterparts. <b>Loyal employees = Loyal customers</b>. Loyal employees are worth more than their weight in gold. They uphold your brand and ensure the sustainability of your business. They go the extra mile. They make it possible for you to win.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Give your Employees reasons to Stay</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The reality is that employees are only as loyal to the company as they believe the company is loyal to them. So in the end, building an organization of committed, loyal employees ultimately comes down to demonstrating to employees that the company deserves their loyalty. You need to provide a reason for your employees to be loyal. <b>Employees want challenging work, recognition and respect, opportunities for advancement, professional growth and development, and a flexible work environment</b>. Studies abound that show when your employees are connected and engaged (i.e. loyal), business booms.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Don't just focus on the bottom line. Invest in the people responsible for the bottom line.</i></b></span></blockquote> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is true profitability involved when you cultivate employee loyalty. At the University of Pennsylvania, researchers discovered that businesses that spent 10% of their revenue on capital improvements saw a 3.9% productivity increase. But get this—when that same 10% was invested in employees, productivity went up 8.5%.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many managers assume once an employee is receiving a salary they should be loyal. Little do they realize pay is just a satisfier. It is not a motivator. <b>It all comes down to how you treat people</b>. Employees want to be treated like human beings. They have feelings, emotions and personal lives. When an organization treats its employee like an object, they feel disrespected. When, on the other hand, an organization appreciates it employees, shows empathy and is flexible, this will make them think twice about leaving.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Loyalty is a two-way street</b>. It's just like a relationship. For a relationship to last, there must be mutual respect, love, trust, understanding and appreciation. Without these, the foundation is shaky. Loyal employees show up, deliver results and consistently go above and beyond to support the company. In the end, people make companies successful. Any strategy or business plan relies on motivated and engaged people to make it happen! This is why the most successful companies focus on people and relationships, and make sure both are not just managed but lead and cared for. Want Loyal Employees? Treat your people well!</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a class="reader-author-info__meta-name display-flex align-items-center ember-view" data-control-name="profile" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brigettehyacinth/" id="ember9594" style="align-items: center; background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #544bc2; display: flex; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-line: none; touch-action: manipulation; vertical-align: baseline;"></a></div> <div class="reader-author-info reader-author-info__follow display-flex align-items-center" style="align-items: center; background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); display: flex; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"> </div> <br /> <h2 class="reader-author-info__text reader-author-info__name Sans-17px-black-70%-semibold-dense reader-author-info__meta-author-detail--has-hover mr2" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 8px 0px 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: nowrap;"> <i><span style="color: #cccccc;">Brigette Hyacinth</span></i></h2>

Nó cũng liên quan đến các vấn đề sức khỏe như béo phì, trầm cảm, tăng huyết áp, tiểu đường cũng như tăng nguy cơ gặp rủi ro tai nạn giao thông.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nếu bạn ngủ đủ giấc mà vẫn thấy mệt mỏi thì cần xem xét lại yếu tố nào khác khiến bạn cảm thấy kiệt sức. Vì vậy, trước khi bạn uống ly cà phê tiếp theo, dùng bữa ăn nhẹ có đường vào lúc 3 giờ sáng hoặc thức uống năng lượng độc hại, hãy xem xét một số lý do khiến bạn có thể mệt mỏi và quan trọng hơn là bạn nên làm gì để khắc phục chúng.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dưới đây là 9 lý do khiến bạn cảm thấy mệt mỏi ngay cả khi nghỉ ngơi đầy đủ.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>1.

Khi đó, dù bạn có ngủ bao nhiêu thì cũng khó rời khỏi giường vào mỗi sáng và bị cám dỗ để lấy lại chuông báo thức thêm nhiều lần nữa.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tuy nhiên, hãy nghĩ về thời gian mà bạn cảm thấy hứng thú và vui vẻ vì những gì bạn đang làm. Bạn cần bao nhiêu thời gian để ngủ? Tôi đoán rằng thâm chí chỉ ngủ vài tiếng, bạn cũng có thể bật dậy khỏi giường mà không cần báo thức vào mỗi sáng với tâm trạng hào hứng và có thể bắt tay ngay vào công việc.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tất cả chúng ta đều có những thứ làm cho chúng ta cảm thấy tuyệt vời và tràn đầy sinh lực. Nhưng cũng có nhiểu vấn đề khiến bạn hao mòn năng lượng. Có thể bạn là người muốn di chuyển nhanh, nhưng bạn lại đang đắm chìm trong những chi tiết. Có thể bạn là một người phát triển mạnh khi dẫn đầu mọi thứ nhưng bạn lại cảm thấy chúng hoàn toàn bị mất kiểm soát.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Khi tôi hỏi con gái 11 tuổi của mình rằng tại sao con nghĩ mọi người mệt mỏi ngay cả khi họ nghỉ ngơi đầy đủ, đây là những gì cô bé nói.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Có lẽ mọi người chán nản và vì vậy họ cảm thấy mệt mỏi".</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Đã có khi nào bạn tự hỏi rằng tại sao mình không thể kéo con ra khỏi giường để đi học vào mỗi sáng những ngày trong tuần nhưng chúng lại tự giác bật dậy khỏi giường vào cuối tuần? Có lẽ đây chính là ví dụ điển hình nhất cho nguyên nhân này. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Khi bạn làm những công việc phù hợp với khả năng, trong môi trường đáp ứng được những gì bạn cần, bạn sẽ cảm thấy tràn đầy sinh lực và sảng khoái hơn.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>2.

Mặc dù có nhiều quy định về chế độ ăn uống khác nhau nhưng các chuyên gia đều nhất trí về việc đường và các thực phẩm đã qua chế biến khiến bạn cảm thấy uể oải và kiệt sức. Bởi chúng làm lượng đường trong máu rối loạn khiến bạn chỉ lưu trữ được năng lượng trong khoảng thời gian ngắn.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Để khắc phục tình trạng này, bạn cần phải ăn thực phẩm thật và sạch. Tránh ăn những thực phẩm ăn vặt đã qua chế biến vì chúng có lượng đường cao. Dù hầu hết thực phẩm chúng ta ăn đều được chế biến theo một cách nào đó, tuy nhiên khi chỉ có duy nhất một loại thực phẩm không cho bất kỳ hóa chất nào thì dù nó xay hay cắt ra cũng vẫn là thực phẩm thật. Còn thực phẩm đã qua chế biến thường xử lý bằng hóa chất, các chất nhân tạo và nguyên liệu tinh chế.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>3. Chất lượng ngủ kém</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Một số nguyên nhân hàng đầu dẫn đến chất lượng giấc ngủ kém bao gồm: sử dụng thiết bị điện tử ngay trước khi đi ngủ, bị gián đoạn, nệm không thoải mái hoặc kê gối sai, thói quen ngủ không nhất quán hoặc thực tế là bạn không ngủ hết chu kỳ.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vì vậy muốn có giấc ngủ ngon, bạn cần tắt thiết bị điện tử ít nhất 1 giờ trước khi ngủ, đảm bảo bạn có gối và nệm thoải mái, duy trì thói quen ngủ ổn định, giảm tiếng ồn bên ngoài và ngủ trong phòng tối hoặc đeo mặt nạ mắt.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>4. Bạn căng thẳng hay lo lắng quá nhiều</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Khi căng thẳng, bạn sẽ sản xuất ra nhiều hóoc môn stress cortisol ảnh hưởng đáng kể tới giấc ngủ.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lo lắng quá mức có thể tiêu hao năng lượng của bạn. Khi bạn lo lắng, bạn đang sử dụng năng lượng. Nó giống như việc bạn có một ứng dụng trên điện thoại tốn rất nhiều pin và bạn sử dụng nó liên tục, pin của bạn sẽ tiêu hao nhanh hơn. Điều đó đúng với sự lo lắng và căng thẳng.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tôi nghĩ điều này rất đơn giản. Tất cả chúng ta bắt đầu một ngày với 100 đơn vị năng lượng để sử dụng suốt cả ngày. Nếu bạn đang dùng một nửa số đơn vị năng lượng của bạn vào những lo lắng, bạn chắc chắn sẽ bị mệt mỏi.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hãy tìm cách để làm giảm mức độ căng thẳng của bạn như là tập yoga, thiền định hay tập thể dục.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>5. Không hít thở đủ sâu</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hít thở sâu làm tăng lưu thông máu bằng cách mang oxy đến cơ bắp và não của bạn. Hàm lượng oxy tăng lên trong máu giúp các cơ bắp, cơ quan và mô khỏe mạnh hơn.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bởi vì căng thẳng và lo lắng nên hầu hết mọi người hít thở vào ngực với mức độ nông nên hơi thở không thể tiếp cận sâu hơn vào vùng bụng. Do đó, thay đổi cách hít thở là một trong những cách thay đổi nhận thức, giải tỏa căng thẳng và tăng năng lượng cho bạn.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>6. Lười vận động</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nghiên cứu thực hiện trong nhiều năm cho thấy hoạt động thể chất và tập thể dục giúp cải thiện năng lượng và giảm mệt mỏi.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Trong một nghiên cứu được công nhận rộng rãi năm 2006 trên tạp chí Psychological Bulletin, các chuyên gia đã tiến hành 70 nghiên cứu về tập thể dục và mệt mỏi liên quan đến hơn 6.800 người. Hơn 90% các nghiên cứu cho thấy điều tương tự: Những người ít vận động khi tham gia vào một chương trình tập thể dục thường xuyên có thể cải thiện mệt mỏi so với những người không tập thể dục.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hãy dành 150 phút mỗi tuần để tập thể dục nhẹ nhàng. Điều này có thể là đi cầu thang bộ thay vì thang máy, đi bộ 20 phút mỗi ngày hoặc tham gia một môn thể thao mà bạn hứng thú.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>7.
