TIP NUMBER 1 – KNOW THE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

BEFORE YOU ATTEND THE INTERVIEW!


Ok, so most people will question how is it possible to know the
interview questions before you attend the interview?

Well, the truth is, it’s quite a simple process.

First and foremost, we need to know the ‘type’ of interview questions


we are likely to be asked, and these can be split into two types, as
follows:

 MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS


 BEHAVIORAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
Next, we need to decipher in the interview questions from the job
description, So, let’s assume you are attending an Administrative
Assistant interview. Before you attend, study the job description in
detail and pick out the important and assessable aspects of the role.

To explain, below is a sample job description for an Admin


Assistant:

ADMIN ASSISTANT JOB ADVERT

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and skilled admin assistant


to join our existing team in helping make our customers experience
an invaluable one.

You will be comfortable dealing with customers, be able to prioritise


workloads and meet tight deadlines.

Essential:

 Ability to work on your own initiative


 Great communication and organisational skills
 Friendly, confident, well-presented and customer-focused
 Professional telephone manner
 An understanding of the need for confidentiality
Team player
From the above, I can now work out the competencies being
assessed and also pick out the likely interview questions. I have
highlighted in yellow the key accessible areas taken from the job
description:

Ability to work on your own initiative.

1. Describe a time when you worked on your own initiative to


complete a difficult task?
Great communication and organisational skills

1. Describe a time when you utilized great communication skills


at work?
2. Explain how you manage your workload on a daily basis?
 Friendly, confident, well-presented and customer-focused

1. Describe a time when you delivered excellent customer


service?
An understanding of the need for confidentiality

1. Describe a time when you demonstrated confidentiality in a


work situation?
Team player

1. When have you worked as part of a team to complete a


difficult task?
OK, let’s now move on to tip number 2:

TIP NUMBER 2 – PREPARE FOR THE MOTIVATIONAL


INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
Motivational interview questions are extremely common during every
type of interview.

The interview panel are likely to ask you these questions to get to
know you, and to also give you the opportunity to talk about
something your feel comfortable about – your motivations and
reasons for wanting this job.

Here’s a list of common motivational interview questions:


1. Tell me about yourself?
2. What are your strengths?
3. What are your weaknesses?
4. Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?
5. Why do you want to leave your current job?
6. What can you bring to this role?
7. How would your co-workers describe you?
TIP NUMBER 3 – ANSWERING THE “TELL ME ABOUT
YOURSELF?” INTERVIEW QUESTION
The first interview question is always the toughest to answer!

Not only will you most probably have a touch of interview nerves, but
you will also feel worried about the type of questions you could get
asked and how you are going to answer them.

The majority of interviewers will kickstart the interview the typical


statement:

“Welcome to the interview. To get started, please tell me about


yourself?”

So, it makes perfect sense to have your answer to the “Tell me


about yourself?” interview question already prepared.

Below, I have provided you with a sample response to this interview


question that can be used in the vast majority of interviews:

“Tell Me About Yourself?”


“I am a hard-working, enthusiastic and professional team
worker who takes pride in their work and their standards.
Having studied the job advert and the job description, the
essential skills needed to perform the role well are a perfect
match for my own attributes.

I am at the stage in my life where stability is important, and I would


like this job so that I can realize my career goals and also work for a
forward-thinking, innovative company who has exciting plans for the
future.
I believe that, if you give me the opportunity to work for you,
you will be impressed with my work ethic, professionalism and
commitment to the role.”

TIP NUMBER 4 – WHAT NOT TO SAY IN AN INTERVIEW


I apologize, but I am feeling very nervous.”

“I don’t have much experience, but I can do a good job.”

“I want to leave my job because I don’t particularly like my


supervisor.”

“I do have some holiday coming up in a few weeks’ time.”

All of the above should be avoided, and whatever you do, DO NOT
SAY THE FOLLOWING:

“So, what do you guys actually do here?”

The above statement demonstrates you have carried out little or no


company research. The simple fact is, you should already know
what the company you are applying to join does.

TIP NUMBER 5 – 8 BRILLIANT THINGS TO SAY IN ANY


INTERVIEW!
OK, so we have just covered what not to say in your interview, let’s
now explore 8 BRILLIANT things you can say in your interview to
impress the interview panel.

1. “I have carried out my research and I have been attracted to


your company.”
2. “My resume is a match for the job advert.”
3. “My previous skills and experience are a match for the job
description.”
4. “I enjoy working as part of a team to achieve difficult tasks.”
5. “I am someone who likes to continually learn and develop.”
6. “I am self-motivated and a fast-learner.”
7. “I am very excited about this job.”
8. “I want to build a career with your company.”
9. “I have a plan in place of what I am going to do if I get the job.”
All of the above are positive things to say and you can integrate
these into your answers to the interview questions.

The last brilliant thing to say (“I have a plan in place of what I am
going to do if I get the job.”) could prompt the following question
from the panel:

“You just mentioned you have a plan in place. What is that


plan?”

So, here is what I recommend you say at your interview in respect of


your plan:

#1 – I will learn the role inside out in the fastest time possible by
taking notes and studying them in the evenings after work.

#2 – I will integrate into the team by getting to know my work


colleagues and finding out how I can support them and the team.”

#3 – I will set to work on a difficult project that will make a difference
to the company, to repay the trust you have put in me.”

TIP NUMBER 6 – ASKING QUESTIONS AT THE END OF


THE INTERVIEW
Asking questions at the end of an interview is a great way to leave a
lasting and positive impression on the interview panel.

My advice is to ask these 2 questions at the end of your interview to


impress the panel!

 “Who is your biggest competitor and what could I do in


this role to help you beat them?”
This question shows you care about their company and you are
keen to make a difference.

 “Where do you see the company headed in the next 5 to


10 years?”
This question to ask at the end of an interview shows you plan on
staying with the company long-term, which let’s face it, is a great
thing to hear from an interviewee candidate!
TIP NUMBER 7 – SEND A FOLLOW UP LETTER/EMAIL
AFTER THE INTERVIEW
Over 99.9% of interview candidates don’t follow up after their
interview. Another great way to stand out from the crowd is to send
the following follow up letter or email immediately after the interview:

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:

Q1. Tell me about yourself?

SUGGESTED ANSWER:

“I am loyal, hard-working, professional and conscientious and, having studied the job
description for this role in detail, I feel the attributes I possess are a strong match. Whilst at
work, I am someone who takes pride in delivering each task to a high standard and I achieve
this by working closely with other people within the team. I also make sure I obtain a clear
brief from my manager or supervisor as to what they want to me to achieve whilst working in
the role I am employed. If successful, I am looking forward to learning the role quickly and
getting to know as much about your products and services, so I can start contributing and
making a positive impact within the organization.”

Q2. Why do you want to work for our company?

SUGGESTED ANSWER
“Having researched your company you are clearly a leader within the industry and I feel I
would be able to excel within the role and put all of my skills, qualities and experience to good
use. Whilst studying your company online, it is clear to see you have strong and exciting plans
for the future and I would like to be a part of your journey through the role I am being
interviewed for today. Finally, it is also clear that you support your employees, so they can
excel within their roles. There’s lots of positive comments online about your company and, if I
am successful at interview, I would feel quite proud to have your name on my CV/resume.”

“I just want to say thank you for inviting me along to interview. I’ve really enjoyed the
experience and I have learnt a tremendous amount about your organisation. If I am successful
then I promise you that I will work very hard in the role and I will do all that I can to deliver
outstanding patient care and surpass your expectations

INTERVIEW

thank you very much

hi richard welcome to the interview


how was your journey here today

yeah it was really good thank you I actually came last night before the interview just to
make sure I knew exactly where to come
i got here early this morning just in case there was some traffic, sat in the car and
composed myself so it was a really good journey thank you for asking

we're going to ask you a number of questions for your suitability for the role so if
you can start with IF YOU CAN TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF

that'd be great yeah sure so as you know my name is richard


over the years i've built up a diverse range of skills and qualities that i believe are
a match for this job description
i am very positive
i love being at work i have goals outside of work
which means that i need to perform to a high standard when i'm in my job in
order to achieve those goals so i'm very focused in my work i'm very good at
planning and organizing my work so you can give me loads of tasks and different
projects to work on and they will always be done on time and to the necessary
standard
i'm very good with clients and customers because i understand for your business
to be successful I need to not only act as a positive role model but i need to
provide outstanding service so your customers and clients come back to your
business time and time
again i'm happy working on my own but i also like to work as part of a team
i'm a very fast learner so if you give me a task i will learn it quickly i'll always be
the first person to volunteer to do a job that needs to be done and you have my
word that if you hire me in this position i will perform to a very high standard
and i will help you to achieve your commercial and your financial objectives

that's great thank you COULD YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT WHY YOU
WANT TO WORK HERE WITH US

yes so i've been aware of your organization for many years as you know you are
a market leader
you are innovative and you are creative and i believe from what i've seen you
always put your customers and clients first
so you start with your customers and then you work backwards which in my
opinion will always mean that you are going to be successful
that is good for me because i am working in an organization that is constantly
striving and moving forward and more importantly you want to improve and
develop
i'm the type of person who also wants to improve and develop i don't just want to
sit in a job and do the bare minim bare minimum I want to excel and advance
year on year i'm also at the stage in my career where i see myself staying with the
same organization for a long period of time and because from what i understand
during my research you have very ambitious plans for the future and I would like
to be a part of those
finally i have under i understand that you hire lots of talented and bright people
so again that's good for me because I will get to work alongside some people who
will push me and they will challenge me and that's great for my long-term future
career plans
so those are the main reasons i see myself being here for a long period of time
and i will be able to grow as your company grows as well

WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE WHICH IS RELEVANT TO THIS


ROLE

before i applied for the position I downloaded a copy of the job description
i read it to make sure that i was confident i could meet the requirements of the
role
predominantly the experience i have is first and foremost dealing with customers
and clients i'm very very good at that i have lots of experience i used to do it on a
daily basis in previous roles so if a client is demanding or they are difficult i have
the interpersonal skills and the communication skills to win them over and make
sure that we provide them with a first-class service
i also have lots of experience working in a variety of different teams
so you could say to me richard we want you to go and work in a team i may have
never worked with those people before but i will adapt i will support the team
members and I will make sure that we all focus on achieving our objectives
other experience i have is being able to plan and organize my work methodically
i am very good at working on the pressure I enjoy working under stressful
situations
and that is because i always plan and organize my work meticulously so i know
what's coming
i look ahead and i make sure that i can achieve my objectives
other experience i have is is also helping my managers and my supervisors to
achieve their goals
obviously your manager and your supervisor is always under pressure you know
they have lots of commercial goals and objectives to achieve and I understand
that
so i will work with my manager and my supervisor to help them achieve their
objectives by being basically a high performing employee and always putting the
needs of the business first
so just to summarize having read the job description i feel I have all of the
necessary experience to not only get up and running quickly in the role but to
excel also

thank you it's great to hear your comments there especially about your experience
working in a team and for this role working as a team is pivotal
um can you explain to me WHAT MAKES A GREAT TEAM in your opinion

sure there are a number of different factors that all come together to make a team
effective
the most important thing is that the team has a shared objective and a common
goal so if i was working as part of a six-person team for example everyone in that
team must be working towards the same end goal
so you have to have a common objective that everyone in the team is signed up to
the team also has to be good at communicating
and i'm not just talking about speaking you also have to be good at listening to
so for communication to be effective you have to be a good listener when you are
working within a team
you also have to be supportive of other people within the team
and if someone is struggling in the team you have to be prepared to say right let's
help that person to get back up to speed so you have to be a supportive team
member
you also have to be totally driven towards the end goal and to achieve that you
have to have different skills and different qualities in the team it would be no
good having a team where everybody has the same skills as me so the team needs
to be diverse in order to be successful
so if i had the responsibility for example to pick a team i would make sure i choo
chose people from different backgrounds different skill sets and different
experiences
and finally to be effective as a team you have to be willing to take on board
feedback
you have to constantly analyze your performance as you go along review what
you've done step by step and be open about any improvements that can be made
that's important because for a team to be effective it needs to be open to
continually improving and developing great

thank you can you give me AN EXAMPLE WHEN YOU'VE WORKED AS


PART OF A TEAM
yes i have worked in many different teams in a variety of different settings
a recent example of where i worked as part of a team was whilst working on a
project for a particularly demanding client
so as a team it was our responsibility to make sure we completed the project for
the client on time and to the required specification
now part way through the project the client kept changing the specification but
they wanted the time frame to stay exactly as it was now a couple of people in
the team were getting a little bit frustrated with the client but i said to them we
need to make sure that we deliver for the client here we want that client to come
back to our business time and time again so i said every time that client changes
their mind let's not make it an issue let's say yes we can work with you to solve
this problem
we can change the specification and deliver it on time so everybody was on board
each time the client came back to us and they changed their mind it wasn't a
problem we sat down we regrouped and we changed our direction
sometimes people in the team had to do different things so for example i had to
take on a task that i wasn't particularly familiar with
but i went away learned how to do it came back and carried out that task to the
right standard
thankfully we completed the project on time and it was a great motivator for
everyone in the team because despite all of the challenges we still managed to
complete the project on time and to the required specification and i'm pleased to
say that that client actually ended up coming back to the business no fewer than
five times to users on further occasions so it's a really good experience for
everyone within the team

i did previously noticed that you stated that you enjoyed working under pressure
with this in mind can you tell me about A TIME WHEN YOU COMPLETED
A DIFFICULT TASK UNDER PRESSURE
yes no problem i'm used to working under pressure and i actually really enjoy it
one particular situation springs to mind when my manager came into the office
and he said that a member of the team had gone off sick at short notice
now this member of the team was highly specialized in a particular area they
were really good at the work they carried out
my manager said he needed a volunteer for somebody to take on their work as
well
as their own and being someone who enjoys working under pressure i put my
hand up and said yep no problem i will take on their work
now i'll be honest with you I didn't know how to carry out their particular tasks
but i wasn't afraid of the work that would come my way
so what i did i went home and i actually called the person who was off sick just
to ask them for some advice about how they approached all of their tasks
when i went back to work the following morning i sat down and i put a plan of
action in place so i assessed my own tasks i then put the other person's tasks next
to them and i prioritized what i would need to do to get everything done so i had
a plan of action of how i was going to complete the tasks
i then worked tirelessly to complete their tasks on time and also to get mine done
too now to achieve that goal i had to stay behind late a couple of nights after
work for a couple of hours but i was more than happy to do that i got a lot out of
that situation because i learned some skills that i hadn't previously managed to
undertake so i was diversifying my skill range i was improving my ability to
work under pressure as well so it was a win-win situation for the organization
because my manager got somebody to complete the task and time and i learned
something new which was as i say a win-win situation

thank you so HOW WOULD YOU DEAL WITH CONFLICT WITH A CO-
WORKER
how would i deal with conflict with a co-worker i haven't experienced a huge
amount of conflict with co-workers however if it does happen i always try and
resolve it straight away
i'm a strong believer that conflict can have a negative impact on a team it can
take away positive energy and it can deter from what you are actually trying to
achieve
so i'd resolve it as soon as possible first and foremost i would review my own
performance and my actions to assess whether i were doing anything to cause the
conflict
it's very easy for us as individuals to think well it's nothing to do with me it's the
other person but i think it's important to look how you perform yourself
i would then speak to the other person in private and i would use an open style of
communication i would be positive and i would say to them
look i can feel that there's conflict between us i'm keen to sort this out am i doing
anything that is either irritating you or contributing to the conflict so i can then
gain some information that will give me them the power to try and resolve the
situation
i would then suggest an amicable way forward for the pair of us to work so to
work harmoniously so we can achieve our common goals
so i would open dialogue with the other person try and resolve it straight away of
course if there was a situation where the conflict was too ingrained and it was too
difficult i would seek advice from my manager and supervisor as to try and find a
suitable way forward but above all i would try and resolve it quickly and
amicably thank you

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS


in five years from now i genuinely see myself still working for your organization
now of course i would say that but my career progression planning is with your
organization i want to work here for the reasons that i stated previously
i'm also at the point in my career where i want to stay working for the same
organization that's important you have ambitious plans for the future and i want
to still be working here either in the same role or perhaps having gained
advancement if you deem me suitable to do
so to a higher level however in five years time primarily i want to be really good
in my
work i want to be a high performing achiever i want you to be happy with my
work and see me as a respected member of the organization someone you can
trust and someone who is also loyal
i would
also see myself obviously experienced in five years time and somebody who
could perhaps help train up other new members of the organization as and when
they join so i'm basically sharing my experience with them

HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE STRESS AND PRESSURE IN THIS ROLE


i prefer to work under stress and pressure and i really enjoy it when i'm up
against time or i'm working as part of a team to get a difficult task done within a
set time frame so i actually enjoy stress and pressure i believe i am at my best but
i handle stress and pressure by first and foremost making sure i'm fully organized
in my work if i know what i need to do during each day and each week then
whenever stressful situations come along it's far easier to deal with them
i also handle stress and pressure by remaining calm in every situation if things
are going wrong the only way that you can get through them is by having a clear
mind so you have to communicate clearly
you have to be calm and composed and you also have to have a positive mindset
the only way that you can get through stressful situations is if you are positive
and you work together draw on other people's experiences as part of your team
and then you can achieve anything you want to in a role so i actually prefer to
work under stress and pressure

richard can you TELL ME ABOUT A TIME WHERE YOU PROVIDED


EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE
yes i am used to providing excellent customer service and i fully appreciate that
for your business to be successful you need happy customers so it would be my
responsibility to always provide a great service
one particular situation springs to mind where i received a call from an elderly
customer they wanted to place an order on our website but they were worried
about how to do it how to go about it
they didn't know which product to order and they were also more concerned
about making a payment online for security reasons
now i had set timelines that i had to deal with customers and that timeline was
two minutes i had to get the call finished within two minutes i saw this as a as a
different situation where i needed to take my time and reassure the customer
so i was prepared to spend longer on the call to deal with them
so i started off by speaking to them in a positive manner reassuring them building
up a little bit of a connection with them to make them feel comfortable
and then started exploring what type of product they needed so i was assessing
their needs
once we established which product they wanted I then started to reassure them
about the online buying process
i explained how secure our website was the fact it was a secure server and their
um credit card details were not actually shared with our organization so it was
totally totally secure
once i built up their trust and their confidence i then took the payment over the
phone
went through with them in step-by-step details and then sent them a receipt by
email and once we had finished i called them back two days later to make sure
they had received the product which they had done
so i just wanted to make sure that they were fully happy and i'm pleased to say
that customer even though that was the first time they'd ordered from our
company they went on to use as many times in the future
so i believe the call took about seven minutes in total which was five minutes
longer than it normally should do but it was great because i managed to win a
long-serving customer of ours which was great news and they were happy as well

excellent thank you can you DESCRIBE TO US YOUR STRENGTHS


yes my strengths are primarily the fact that i am a fast learner
so if you give me the job i will learn this role really quickly that would be my
first day to get up and running in super fast time i would spend time in my own
time in the evenings learning the role because it would be my aim to get up and
running quickly i want to bea high performing member of my team
other strengths are my ability to work as part of a team to motivate other people
as well i think i'm good to be around
you know i'm very positive in nature I have a positive mindset and i believe that
you only get out of life what you are prepared to put in and i think that would rub
off on other people also
other strengths include my ability as i've said before to remain calm under
pressure so if things are going wrong I can be a trusted member of the team and i
will help everyone to get to the point where we are achieving things within time
and to the right standard
i think i'm a good communicator as well so when i'm dealing with your clients
and your customers i will always act as a positive role model and you have my
word that i will put your commercial interests above everything else
finally another strength of mine is that i can be left alone to do a job to the right
standard but you can also leave me to make sure that i keep my knowledge and
my expertise up to date i take my personal and professional development
seriously and i will always make sure that my knowledge and my expertise are
right at the top of where they should be

WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST WEAKNESS


my biggest weakness
i believe is that i find it very difficult at times to say no to people
now in the past this has resulted in me taking on sometimes too much work so as
hopefully i've shown you today that I will always be the first person to put my
hand up
that sometimes in the past has resulted in me taking on too much that i've become
a little bit overwhelmed at times where i think i'm going to struggle to get that
done and i end up working many hours in the evening sometimes just to make
sure it's done on time
obviously that's not good for my own you know my own mental health and my
concentration skills so i need to make sure that i do say no when i am absolutely
at full capacity
having said that another one of my strengths is the fact that i'm always looking at
myself to improve so if you see anything about me that you think i could improve
on tell me and i'll go away and i will sort it out and improve in that area thank
you

excellent thank you so i'd be interested to know WHY DID YOU LEAVE
YOUR LAST JOB
why did i leave my last job my last job was brilliant up until a point so the length
of time i stayed there it was fantastic i was learning and I was growing along with
the organization
i then got to a point where i felt I wasn't personally growing and developing in
the position i basically reached my potential and I wanted a fresh and new
challenge now the organization were amazing
i still get on with the organization you know i had a really good relationship with
them and i'm very grateful the experiences that i had whilst i was there
they gave me a lot and in return i gave them a lot too but it was the right time for
me to move on and i left on really good terms and as I say i still have a really
good relationship with the organization and my previous manager so the main
reason I left was because i was ready for a new challenge and i wanted to go and
work for a different company and gain some new experiences as well

okay thank you thank you WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU


i believe you should hire me because not only do i have the experience and the
skills and qualities that are a match for the job description the experience i have
gained means that i will get up and running in this role very quickly that means
you can leave me to get on with things which reduces the pressure on you
because obviously you are you are busy and you are under pressure to achieve
your objectives and the last thing you need to be doing is to be watching me all
of the time so i am a fast learner
i'm also very good working around people and i understand the benefits of
working in a diverse team
i feel that i am a good motivator so I can get other people to feel motivated about
their work as well
i'm also very good with customers
one of my strengths is being patient with customers
dealing with them methodically and making them feel comfortable and as I said
at the start of the interview
i understand that for your business to be successful you need customers and
clients to come back time and time again
so i would say one of my strengths is the fact that i'm commercially aware i'm
commercially astute and I understand that i need to do my job to the right
standard in order for you to be successful and i will
also another strategy is that i am loyal i am honest and i always act with integrity
so i will represent your brand and your company in a positive manner always so

what are YOUR SALARY EXPECTATIONS FOR THIS ROLE


prior to coming to the interview today I carried out a little bit of research to find
out the average salary for this position within the industry now
the average salary was between 25 000 pounds and 35 000 pounds
now idealistically i would like the 35 000 pound mark however i understand you
don't know me
i'm coming into your organization you are trusting me to do a good job and
therefore i feel i have a responsibility to prove to you my worth
on that basis i would be happy with a salary of 32 000 pounds and i believe then i
have a duty and responsibility to prove to you that i am worth that amount and i
would be comfortable with that position

well we've reached the end of the interview now richard so only really one last
question to ask really IS HAVE YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS FOR US

thank you very much i've really enjoyed the process


i'll just have a couple of questions if that's okay
so as i said previously i plan to stay with the company for a long period of time if
i'm successful and i'm interested to hear what plans do you have for the business
over the next five to ten years

we're looking to expand operations quite quite big and we're looking to increase
product lines as well and we have really big ambitious plans for the future

okay excellent brilliant and can i also ask please um what's frustrated you about
people who've held this position in the past
that's a really thing yeah that's an excellent question
so as a company we look for people that have a willingness to learn and have
drive to move forward
as andy mentioned we're expanding our operations at the moment and to having
that driving willingness to learn is really important to us
unfortunately previous employees in the role have lacked that ambition and drive
to move forward so that's what we're looking for and the ideal candidate for
this role

and i i know i would say this but i'm very enthusiastic and ambitious so I believe
that i can bridge that gap for sure
and just one final question if i am successful what would you need me to
concentrate on within the first 30 days of starting in the position

yeah it's important for us that you get into a position where you can really help us
achieve those goals as quick as you can so we really need you to get up to speed
as quick as possible
as andy said we've got those really um massive goals that we're aiming for so we
need you to get in a position where you'll be comfortable and you can help us
drive towards those goals

perfect thank you yeah i don't have any more questions thank you very much

okay that's great thank you richard um it's been lovely interviewing you today
and we'll be in touch very soon

thank you can i just finish off and say um thank you very much for interviewing
me it's been
i've really enjoyed the process it's been great learning as much as possible about
your company if you do hire me i promise you that i will be a high-performing
employee and i will give it my all thank you very much
