M: Now, what about the other side. Tell me about areas where you think you could use some improvement.
W: Fortunately for me, I don’t think I have too many bad traits. I can be outspoken about something I truly believe in. I will stand for the underdog almost always to give everybody an equal opportunity.
M: Let’s talk for a moment about your current position in your company. Help me understand what is happening that is leading you to consider leaving your company.
W: I most recently worked for a company where I was a student loan consolidation counselor for federal loans. I was also a team leader. My company downsized and sold this department to another company in Florida. I would have definitely stayed with the company if the position was still there. My entire department was laid off, including my supervisor.
M: Since you mentioned the idea of leadership, tell me, what does that mean to you?
W: Being a leader is a very important role in any situation in life. You always want to demonstrate the best method to solve any situation. You want to always provide a great example. Being a good leader also means being able to give and take constructive criticism and praise.
M: That concludes our interview for today. What else, if anything, would you like to tell me about your experiences that I should consider when evaluating your transcript?
W: I would like you to know that I am very interested in the position as a customer service representative. If hired, I will be a great asset to the company because of my experience and my ability to learn a job and get it done efficiently.
M: When are you available to start in this position?
W: I am available to start work immediately. I was laid off of my last job due to downsizing on March 31, 2007. My severance pay and unemployment are running out and I am more than ready to get back to work
M: Thank you for your time today, Chris. I appreciate you providing this detailed portrait of your experiences. Your interview will be evaluated, and we will be in touch in the next few weeks.
