WHAT IF QUESTIONS IN AN INTERVIEW

Teddybear · 08-20-2014, 06:00 PM

So today I was talking to a friend and we were talking about interviews and when the interviewer ask you what would you do if questions. So here is a question we were divided on so I want to ask you the reading public for YOUR opinion. There is no right or wrong answer to this for each person will most definitely have a reason one way or the other for why they answered it the way they do.

So here is the question: You have an issue your trying to fix for a customer by a certain deadline and your supervisor needs a report by the same deadline. What project do you finish first and why

Customers' needs come first.

I base this on the companies where I've worked and on previous supervisors I've had.

i too felt that the customer is always first for they are the ones who really sign our paychecks NOT the supervisor no matter what they may act like

Tell your supervisor the position you are now in and ask him which thing he wants completed on time. What the customer wants or what he wants.

Most likely he will say to complete the task for the client. He will look like an ass if he doesn't. However, if he says do his task then just explain to your customer something came up and you will not be able to complete on time. You should always complete what supervisor wants (unless it is harmful, crazy, etc). Then look for another job because you don't like your supervisor's approach to customer service.
