"Back to the Basics = 기본[원점, 초심]으로 돌아가다"
"Chance favors only the prepared mind = 기회는 준비된 자에게만 온다"
누구에게나 기회는 찾아옵니다. 하지만, 주어진 기회를 최대한 유리하게 활용하는 것은
오직 준비된 자에게만 주어지는 보상입니다. 그게 면접이든 무엇인든 늘 초심을 잃지 않고
삶의 매 순간을 "일기일회(一期一會 / 단 한 번의 기회, 단 한 번의 만남)"로 여긴다면
여러분은 이미 충분한 보상을 받은 삶을 살게 될 것입니다.

TIPS: This is not an invitation to ramble on. If the context isn't clear, you need to know more about
the question before giving an answer. In such a situation, you could ask, "Is there a particular aspect of my
background that you would like more information on?" This will enable the interviewer to help you find
the appropriate focus and avoid discussing irrelevancies.

(1) I was born and raised in XYZ County and have an excellent knowledge of the area as well as Central and
XYY counties. During the last 9 years with the ABC Freight Company, I have progressed through positions of
Package Loader, Courier, Dispatcher, and Team Lead.
(2) In my most recent position, I have had the opportunity to complete numerous management training programs,
provide supervision and leadership to all positions within the station, and participate in special projects in conjunction
with Senior and District Managers. I enjoy being a Lead and the opportunity to empower and motivate my team.
(3) Last year I was awarded 'Lead I' for greatest team gains in productivity. I believe this experience and training
has prepared me to take the next step and pursue a management position with Big New Employer.”
(4) Well. I’ve been working for the past six years as a systems analyst and data manager.
During that time I’ve been trained and certified on a number of different software platforms and systems.
(5) Now I’m looking to take my career to the next level and move out of contract work into a full time employee
for a company where I can be a part of a team, but also allows me to focus my energy on my best strength,
working directly with customers. I’d like to build a long term career that lets me focus on professional growth.
(6) I'd really describe myself as a person with a versatile skill-set, a lot of integrity and a willingness to go
the extra mile to satisfy a customer. Perhaps the best way to let you know what I'm about is to share with you
a quick experience I had.
(7) Recently while working at a location with a client, they mentioned that they had just purchased some software that
I was familiar with but that their computer systems were having some difficulty integrating the program. I offered
to take a look at the install and found that there was a step that had somehow been forgotten. I told him I would
be happy to wipe the system and reinstall the software correctly. At first the client refused and when I asked him
why, he told me that it was too expensive and that they were just going to learn to work around the problem.
When I asked him further, he told me a different analyst had been in, looked at the problem, and told them that
the files had corrupted their system overall and that it would take at least $25,000 to fix. When I told him it was
a simple matter of wiping the previous version and reinstalling it, he was stunned. I did the whole project for
a fraction of the cost the other “analyst” had quoted. My client was so happy he referred me to his friends and
I’ve done similar work for several other companies in town as a result.
