upcoming interview, that’s why we have put toghether a


list of tips for you.

Tips and Tricks


Tell me about yourself.
(Hint: Don’t get overly detailed. This should be your elevator pitch)

Do you have experience working for a logistics company?


(Hint: Instead of answering “No, I don’t” you can use the following: I have not had the chance to
work for a logistics company before, however, since I came to LSS and with the training
program I completed, I have had the chance to learn everything I need to know about the
industry, so I feel more than confident that with my skills I will be able to perform any challenge I
encounter)

Why do you want to work here? Or, why are you interested in this job?
(Hint: Research, research, research. And bring it back to how you can benefit them)

Why should we hire you? 


(Hint: Focus on your passion or love for the company, product, and industry.)

What’s your greatest personal achievement? 


(Hint: Don’t be afraid to brag here. Take proper credit for your work. Back it up with examples)

Why should we consider you for this position?


(Hint: Focus the conversation on why you want this job, the one you’re being interviewed for.)

What are your long-term career goals?


(Hint: It’s OK to not be super-specific. “Honestly, I’m really excited about learning about this
topic at your company. As long as I’m learning, I feel fulfilled.”)

What interests you about our industry?


(Hint: Make sure to do your research. Have facts/data/examples) 

How do you evaluate success? 


(Hint: Clarify if they mean personal success or your team’s success. Be prepared to answer
both versions.)
Tell me about a time you failed or made a mistake. How did you recover?
(Hint: Failure is a good thing if it means you learned something. So don’t be shy.)

What gets you out of bed every day?


(Hint: Make it unique. Don’t say: “To make money.” Try something altruistic or self-aware: “The
feeling that I’m making a positive impact.” )

Do you have any questions for me? 


(Hint: Customize this to each interview, but you should aim for a minimum of two questions here
about the role or the client. And “What’s the timeline for this interview?” doesn’t count.)

What do you do in your free time?


(Hint: Use anything that shows that your experience is relevant to this job and company,
including your side hustle, volunteer work, professional organizations, etc.)

What’s your work style? How do you manage your time? 


(Hint: Use specific examples. You should be honest because it benefits both of you if your styles
mesh well. )

Tell me about a time you couldn’t complete a project on time. How did you deal with it?
(Hint: It happens to all of us, so don’t pretend it doesn’t. Preferably use an example in which the
missed deadline was clearly out of your control. )

Tell us about a time you took initiative on a project.


(Hint: You should take ownership but still make sure to give proper credit to the rest of your
team.)

How do you respond to critical feedback?


(Hint: Make sure to mention what you DO with that feedback, too.)

How do you deal with pressure or stressful situations? 


(Hint: Specifically, how do you decompress? Write it down? Take a lap around the block? Self-
care?)

On your very best day of work—the day that you totally love your job—what are you
doing? 
(Hint: Make sure it aligns with the company you’re applying to)

Can you tell us about a difficult situation with a client in the past?
(Hint: Describe the situation and what was at stake, explain what steps you took to solve it and
why and conclude by detailing the positive outcome)
