but here's the next question
[326]
why do you want to work for our
[328]
organization as the chief operating
[330]
officer
[331]
now in this strategic level position it
[334]
is vital you have a good understanding
[336]
of
[336]
the organization you want to join as
[338]
their co
[340]
in your answer talk about their
[341]
achievements their track record and what
[343]
specifically
[344]
has attracted you to them here's my
[347]
suggested answer
[349]
as you already know and appreciate to be
[351]
effective as a chief operating officer
[354]
you have to be in an organization that
[355]
wants to strive for nothing but the best
[358]
that wants to continually improve and
[360]
that is not afraid to embrace
[361]
change and innovation in a positive
[363]
manner during my research into your
[366]
organization
[367]
and having discussed your commercial
[368]
integrity and performance
[370]
with former work colleagues you clearly
[372]
have an impressive track record
[374]
and i very much want to be a part of
[375]
your future success story
[377]
the industry you are in faces lots of
[379]
challenges in the future but
[381]
at the same time i also see lots of
[383]
great opportunities too
[385]
with your already established
[387]
outstanding business foundations
[389]
along with my experience and my track
[391]
record of achievement
[392]
i believe we will be the perfect team
[394]
and i feel strongly i'll be able to
[396]
contribute significantly
[397]
to your commercial and financial
[399]
objectives
[400]
that's a brilliant answer the next
[403]
question how would you deal with
[404]
disagreements with the company chief
[406]
executive officer
[407]
now this co interview question assesses
[411]
how you deal with conflict and whether
[413]
you can put the organization's needs
[415]
and its future success above everything
[417]
else here's the perfect answer
[419]
to this tough question how would you
[421]
deal with disagreements with the company
[423]
ceo
[425]
first and foremost the long-term success
[427]
of your organization would always be
[429]
at the forefront of my mind so any
[431]
disagreements would not be personal
[433]
and i would always respect the ceo's
[435]
decision as being final
[437]
whilst i do have extensive experience
[439]
within operations
[440]
i also understand how important it is to
[442]
work alongside the ceo
[443]
and the other members of the senior
[445]
management team to achieve our
[447]
collective
[447]
objectives i would always offer my
[450]
opinion and my advice as a responsible
[451]
and
[452]
enthusiastic ceo but if the chief
[454]
executive officer did not agree with my
[457]
vision
[457]
or my method of operating i would listen
[460]
to them
[460]
and go forward with their decision with
[462]
passion and commitment
[464]
so that is a smart answer to that
[467]
question the next one

[472]

[482]

[483]
now in your answer show you are
[484]
energetic passionate
[486]
and that you are seeking a role where
