Q

Question - 1:
Why Do You Want to Work Here at Western Union?
ue

Ans:
The interviewer is listening for an answer that indicates you've given this some thought and are not sending out resumes just because there is an opening. For
example, "I've selected key companies whose mission statements are in line with my values, where I know I could be excited about what the company does, and this
st

company is very high on my list of desirable choices."

Question - 2:
Please tell us why aren't you looking for a job in your area of expertise?
ns

Ans:
You've done some soul searching, weren't completely fulfilled or your talents weren't being utilized enough in the current industry and realized this was the right path
for you. I've had clients say that to employers and they were impressed they had taken the time to really find their direction and that they had such focus. Another
reason could be they want to add to their skill set.

Question - 6:
Please tell me why is there a gap in your employment record?
Ans:
While gaps have been more common during the recession you need to show doing something of value. It could include improving your skills, certifications or
connections. Building relationships as a volunteer is a usual answer, but you need to show how you were productive. Play down the vacation, reflection time, etc. If
you did consulting work build up the value of what you got out of it. Don't disclose how little you might have been paid.

Question - 7:
Tell us what negative things would co-workers say about you?

 Western Union Interview Questions And Answers

Ans:
This is a tricky one. Always attribute the negatives to a few and not the entire group. "I guess some may think I can be too passionate and a bit defensive when it
comes to a project I'm working on". And maybe that's true from their perspective. In general I get along with my co-workers, clients and vendors. We don't always
agree but we can work together to get the job done."

Question - 8:
te

Please explain about yourself (ie where do you start, what do you cover personal v. professional)?
Ans:
rv

Keep in mind they are not asking about you personally but you as a professional or business person. This is the time to name your strengths in a narrative way. "I am
best known for my innovative and strategic approach to complex problems." Then tell them how you came to this skillset by talking about your work experience and
education. Always start with the present and work backwards.
ie

Two minutes into the answer ask "shall I continue?" You do not want to eat up all of your interview time and lose the person's attention with a long-winded answer.
Only at the end can you add something personally by saying "in my off hours I enjoy running and I coach a kids' track team." Makes you human.

Question - 9:
Please explain how much money do you make?
Q

Ans:
As in any negotiation the person who says the number first is at a disadvantage. You can try and say you are interested in the job and you are sure salary is fair and
ue

commensurate with industry levels. If pushed you say you are looking for a "total compensation package in the range of ___to____". In some companies they will
insist on a W2 form so don't lie about current salary.

Question - 10:
Please tell me why Did You Leave (Or Why Are You Leaving) Your Job?
io

percent reduction in the workforce, which included me."
ns

If you are employed, focus on what you want in your next job: "After two years, I made the decision to look for a company that is team-focused, where I can add my

Explain me what aspects of your previous jobs have you disliked?

Ans:

This is similar to the tell us about your weaknesses question. You can't say you have none, and you can't say something fake like I work too hard. You need to be
honest here with parameters: Prepare your answer so it comes across in a positive, productive way and not as bashing your former employer. Choose things that are
about the job itself preferably, not your terrible boss, so you're focusing on things that don't come across as talking badly about people, which isn't necessary or

Don't be afraid to talk about their reputation "On the Street" and how you are a good fit. If they are viewed as aggressive for example, talk about how that fits with
