How do you answer 'Describe your standard of success' in a job interview?

Answer

Here are some suggestions for how people can define their standard of success:

  • Success is different for each individual person. Too often we look at one another to measure how successful we are in our own lives. You may look at a certain person and think wow they really got it together. What you may not know is that person probably isn't in his/her mind satisfied their own selves (successfully) speaking. Ask yourself what your standard of success is, but remember you are your own worst critic so go easy. Life is a journey not a destination!

  • Use a metaphor to describe your personal success. For example, "I have four pillars of success. They are hardwork, pursuance, determination and reliability."

  • Success is the fruit of: 1. Good directing as a leader, providing people with specific instructions and closely suppervising task accomplishment; 2. Coaching by explaining decisions, solicits suggestions and support progress; 3. Supporting by facilitating and supposting subordinates efforts toward task accomplishment and shares responsibility for decision - making with them; 4. Delegating by turning over responsibility for decision - making and problem - solving to subordinates.

  • They want to know how much of a perfectionist you are. They want to know if you are a go-getter. They want to know if you will settle for less than they will.

  • A) Start by determining what succes means for you: lots of money? reaching targets? execution of a project? change in people behaviour? so it depends on the sort of job you are in. B) It is also useful to look at what your own work values are. These should be in line with your own personal life values. The combination of A + B= may give you the answer. The interviewer will verify in how far these are in line with the organization's values. Again all depends on the type of activity. One golden tip: always remain yourself - do not pretend to adhere to values that are not yours. Goods luck!

Well success means what you are adding in your self every day, for me what I have decided in the morning and what I have achieved end of the day.

Answer

For me, success means what you are adding in your self everyday, if you are experiencing growth and change (better one) in the field that you are in and when you are able to use and contribute the education and knowledge that the university provided you as a student in giving quality service to people. And also considering what you have achieved at the end of the day.
