Q:
How long will it take you to finish the same tasks?
A:
It all depends on what the task is and what's required to complete it. Personally, working on webpages takes me a day
and a half. A Power Point presentation
takes a few hours. I want to take the
time and do it right the first time.
Working with the home
business in Bragg Creek, I realize that I need more time to finish tasks, so I
like working on long-term projects where I have more time. I know that working in an office where tasks
need to be done quickly isn't the best fit for me. It helps when your abilities match up with
what you're interested in but it does not always work out that way. Maybe you can arrange with your company to
pick out a few tasks from the complete job description so other employees can
focus on the other key responsibilities.
Q:
How would you communicate with someone who is having trouble understanding you?
A:
People usually need a few conversations with me before they start feeling
comfortable with my style of communication. I like to know if someone is not
able to understand what I'm saying instead of nodding along. When someone is
having difficulty, I like to repeat the phrase a few times. Then I try and
phrase it differently because it may be the words I'm using that are confusing.
If they are still having trouble, I type it on the computer. I prefer to use
email as my main method of communication at work because I can ask questions clearly
and have a written reply.
When you know that you
have difficulty with oral communication, have a plan to demonstrate in the job
interview how well you can communicate in another manner. Chances are an
employer might have worries about this topic, and you're taking the initiative
to address those concerns and show you can work within their company.
