How do you answer what does success mean to you in job interview?

Answer 1

maybe you can say that a smart work is the work you're interesting about, and a hard work are all the works you dislike

"Working hard" would be putting in lots of effort to get the task done, sometimes with physical effort and long hours, some of it possibly being not very efficent. "Working smart" is doing the same task by making and implementing a plan--including steps that may be an innovation in procedure, improving efficiency and reducing costs to perform the task. In the interview, you will want to give them some numbers referring to your accomplishment. So, you would say you saved X number of hours by doing it the new way and produced X percent more of the product or got more done. If you can add that you were able to get other employees to cooperate in the effort, that would also be a good thing.

Answer 2

As a professional recruiter I get this question every day. Success is when the employer offers you a job on the spot. This does not always apply because an additional representative may be involved and there will be multiple inverviews for the job. Usually the interviewee has a general feeling about the success of the interview. Being asked about your schedule for next week so the employer can set up the next interview is a good sign. Good success may be determined by the interviewer speaking in future terms such as "this will be your desk", "how much notice do you have to give to your current employer?", "what is your current salary", also feelings and hints of "inclusiveness" as in the use of "we" when it includes you and the interviewer. A tour of the facility is a good sign because if they don't like you then the interviewer will not waste time on a tour. Introductions to other employees is a good sign. The longer the interview the better it is for the interviewee and of course the shorter the interview the less likely the success. The longer an employer takes to get back to you after the interview then the less likely it is that you will be offered the position.

Answer 3

Success stories should show how something negative became a positive for the individual or organization. This is a good place to use an actual value on the results. For example, by replacing this machine we improved our productive by XXX and saved man hours by XXX. Or if the process assisted with over all life/work balance, how did the employees react to the change? Such as if there were less safety issues and employees were able to spend more time with their families in the evenings (quality of life)
