What Makes You Unique? How to give best feedback at interview

Viva

What Makes You Unique ? the way to get a new job is obviously to submit an application to the respective organization to their mailing address by email or offline mailing system like FedEx or various courier service but the more interesting thing is that thousands of same qualified employee applied for a single position. Do you really have any chance to get the job? Simply the answer is NO.

Yes, you can’t expect the job if you didn’t possess anything that will be unique from others. Why interviewer choose you? You are so smart or you are very good to look at, that’s are personal belonging not fit to get a job actually. You have to meet the job criteria actually.

A person with typical qualification is hard to fight with the other job seeker if he didn’t possess extra thing. What is this extra thing? In this session we are going to learn about this extra thing!

When thousands of employee apply for the same post this is very natural that your qualification will overlap with other job seeker and this time you have to find out which criteria you possess that fit with the applied job makes you unique from others.

In the interview session, the interviewer may ask you the familiar question “What make you unique?” Take this opportunity, give your answer in more specific way with full confident and accurate result. Be honest at your answer so interviewer can trust you and they can realize that you are really bring some the benefit for their organization. So let’s go, how we can make this question answer.

what make you more unique

“What makes you unique? “Why frequently interviewer ask this question

The very first reason is to ask this question is, the interviewer just want to identify the employee who is the best fit for the role compare to other candidate they are interviewing. This can be simply say that why you not others where nearly all of the candidate possess the same qualifications.

Secondly the interviewer want to know that how you are evaluating yourself. They can realize that which thing you are emphasize at your interview session. If you able to emphasize the point that the interviewer really asking for the role then you can go with it. The employer want strong mentality but basic skill person which may not include with your application.

How to prepare you for the question

I think this is very difficult to identify anything which is really make you different from the other candidate. So let it go, prepare with your experience, focus on your strength which can increase your strength. Explain how interviewer will be benefited to hire you. Use your relevant background which is best match for the job. You can express your specific background that is really relate with this job.

Realize the interviewer asking about the positions

All of the interviewer always like the employee who will possess right skill set, perspective, ability to achieve target at every situations. So take time and think that are you really fit for the job. Read the job description completely, if you get any keyword then that is the best match for you then prepare yourself with that questions which point the interviewer may find effective if you properly deliver it.

Focus on your previous achievement

In professional life, you may be experienced with so many unwanted situations and bring back it normal. Some problem may be more challenges and some are not. Note the point where you face more challenges and how you overcome that. Relate this similar problem that me helpful in interview session.

You present those example where you were the key person no other colleague. Professional experience where your involvement was minor doesn’t require to mention in interview session, this will prove that you are unable to handle the situation.

Deliver the specific type of example which is more relevant with your work, try to create it more realistic rather than descriptive.

For example, “You are able to handle customer complaint and recently you have receive an interesting complaint and you have solve this issue and create a new facility/process/method to do the same. You can share this experience here”

Expression may be, ”Two month ago, I received a complaint about one of our new product that the customer received empty blister contains one tablet less out of ten tablets in a blister. I investigate the matter and find out that the pocket of all blister is same except one. During automatic filling process one tablet can to be filled due to small size of the pocket. Then we change the pocket size questing the supplier and include weight checking after blistering process. Now we are not receiving this type of complaint anymore”.

Highlight your most popular criteria

Try to mention your more strength point which your previous employees are appreciated and you can apply the same here will facilitate your job role. You can express “How other people know your patience and dedication to your professional life and how you face the hard situation in high stress situation, also mention your dedication during unfavorable condition”.

Never try to show your unique experience

Every employers are searching for the best for the best not a person contains unnecessary skill which is not relevant with the job description. Try to avoid the unnecessary skills which will bother the interviewer.

For example, “If you are applying for a position for Warehouse Officer, the interview panel is not interested that your good at website design and development, this is totally your personal matters not relevant to your applied position”.

Here is some example “Tell us what makes you unique”

“To organize & labelling something will save the time and space is my moto in the professional life. After joining of the current office as Quality Assurance Officer in document section, I made a list of our document as per product category in alphabetic manner at excel tracker with proper labelling has decrease the hassle during tracking of the product. It has been save our time and organized our working environment”

“My ability to make easy and smooth communication to my peer’s colleague and rapport building with them make me more unique in my professional life. As Admin Officer, I start a WhatsApp group and start connecting to the relevant colleague who are looking for quick admin support regarding transport and emergency hospital support. I want to spread my service and profession will help the others who are really feels their demand to be filled up quickly. I can easily identify the pain points of the employee and their challenge to acquire it”.

Every employee contains some inner traits that he can’t realize properly what makes him unique. If he able to identify the criteria and properly deliver it at the interview session will bring a better result for the employee.

 

Criteria of effective feedback

When it comes to providing effective feedback during an interview, there are several key principles that, if followed, can significantly improve the quality and impact of the feedback provided. Let’s take a closer look at the individual principles and expand on them using real-world examples.

  • Explain in detail
  • Focus on behavior
  • Balance positive and negative
  • Provide constructive criticism
  • Encourage self-reflection
  • Maintain professionalism and empathy
  • Follow-up
 
Explain in detail:

Instead of giving general comments, drill down into the details by providing specific examples and observations. For example, instead of saying that the presentation lacks depth, you could provide simple feedback such as “The presentation lacks data to support the financial projections, making it difficult for the audience to understand the feasibility of the strategy.”

 

Focus on behavior:

It is essential to focus on feedback on observable behavior rather than judgments about individual characteristics. For example, instead of accusing someone of being “disorganized,” you might say, “During a project meeting, you failed to set a clear agenda and assign tasks, causing confusion among team members.”

 

Balance positive and negative:

While it is important to address areas needing improvement, it is equally important to identify strengths and successes. For example, interview responses can not only point out areas for improvement, but also praise the candidate’s strong communication skills and insightful approach to problem solving.

 
Provide constructive criticism:

Feedback should not only highlight areas needing growth, but also provide actionable suggestions for improvement. For example, if you are criticizing a candidate for answering a difficult question, you can express your constructive criticism by suggesting specific strategies to improve the answer, such as: b. Include relevant examples or improve your presentation.

 
Encourage self-reflection:

Encouraging respondents to reflect on their feedback promotes a culture of continuous learning and improvement. For example, after providing feedback on a candidate’s performance in a mock negotiation exercise, you might ask the candidate to reflect on his or her approach and consider how he or she might apply his or her strategies in a similar situation in the future.

 

Maintain professionalism and empathy:

Feedback should be provided in a way that maintains professionalism and empathizes with the feelings of the interviewee. For example, when providing feedback to assess a candidate’s technical skills, you can provide constructive criticism in a polite tone without undermining the other person’s confidence or discouraging further effort.

 
Follow-up:

Following up with respondents after a feedback session demonstrates their commitment to growth and development. For example, after providing feedback on a candidate’s mock presentation, you might suggest scheduling a follow-up session to clarify any outstanding questions or provide further guidance on areas needing improvement.

By diligently adhering to these principles, interviewers can provide feedback that is not only valuable and constructive, but also helpful to the interviewee’s professional development.

You can answer the question” Why do you want to leave your current job?” in various ways but remember it “Interviewer will not suggest the Hiring Manager to hire you until he is satisfied your positive response”. Here is depicted some season which you can corporate at your structural answer-

  • You are not properly evaluated
  • You want more compensation package
  • The existence of the company is going to invalid
  • You are undervalued at your current position

  • You want to change your existing position
  • You want next level promotion
  • Your current company is unable to give any remuneration package
  • Your company is going to change its business criteria
Be clear about your reasons for exiting

Must be straight forward to give reason to leave your current company:

Most of the time employee fail to give the actual reason to leave the existing company. Take some time, make a list with positive reason to leave your current company. If you are hard to understand then you can go with the following reason. This can help to find out a common reason to leave your current company-

  • What is the aim of your career?
  • Are you satisfied with you career?
  • What you want to be?
  • What really you want and what you received?
  • What do you want after 5 or 10 years?
  • What you want the new job?

  • Why you are not satisfied with your current job?
  • Are you really dissatisfied with your current job role?
  • Are you in faulty situation?

Write down the some key reason to change your existing job. Try to select more professional reason not person. Try to be profession in terms of reason to leave job. Generally interviewer will not show any interest with your personal reason.

It is very desirable that you are going to leave your job for professional reason. Suppose your family is going to change the city and you want to leave your job. This is not a valid reason to interviewer for leaving your job.

why do you leave your current job
Describe your answer in a short session

It is very much important to keep your answer in short but you have to answer in full throttle and this answer may not exceed 45 sec. covered by two to three sentences. Then you have to point back why you are the best fit for the job.

Always stay positive mode

The reason of leaving current job may be in many reason most of them are person and financial matters. Employee engage in a job can’t move to another if he didn’t fall in less mental or job satisfaction. Nobody to leave his comfort zone even best performer of the year. A negative situation compel the employee to leave his current position. In job interview you can’t express the negative situation as”My reporting Manager is very rude to me. His behavior is not up to the mark, always pinch me badly. I fell always humiliated compare to others. Please save me…”

You have to be always in positive mode. You can’t express the negative situation to interview board though you are in false position. An interviewer never want a problem creating person, always seek problem solver. They are fond of a person who can work in stress condition or able to handle difficult situation.

You have to focus on your job expertise, what you have learn in the previous day and what you have to done to achieve your dream job. You know yourself very well not others, so try to develop yourself by discussing with others or taking any type training or surfing internet.

Try to increase interaction with your peer colleague, share your problem and try to find a positive response from others. Call an expert from your colleague who can solve your problem. Help your peer colleague and they will also help if a proper rapport build with them.

You can express your positive answer in interview session as”my current job role is very interesting and generally help to other colleague who is unable to realize their job role. Basically I perform the quality surveillance type job. I have learned various type of new skill by this way. Under this circumstances I am looking for a new role where I can apply my experience…”

Try to be authentic without being too comprehensive

When you are in this situation, try to explain your position positively, never hide any basic information. If you are not satisfied with your current job, there are hundred ways to share your information without defame your company? Keep your answer in short and focus on your new job opportunity that you are very much excited to get the job.

If you’re sacked or you are being compelled for some instances, express it positive way what actually happen. If you are not in on job. Tell it to the employer, don’t hide it. Employer always search your previous history. Without collecting any previous job history you will not able to get any job as experienced professional.

If employer found any provided information mismatch with your supplied answer, then you will not eligible for the job. Employer will no longer trust your position. You are probably lose this opportunity.

How to surround your explanations for leaving a job?

I think you have already listed your explanations to leave your current job. Here I am presented some explanations which may not properly presented on interview session. There is some explanation you may like to prepare your better explanation “Why do you want to leave your current job”

I don’t like my company

No company is errorless, there is a positive and negative side in each and every company. Take few minutes and think why you don’t like your company? Take this point and make it your target point and prepare the positive, clear, straightforward, precise and responsive answer based on this point.

For example:

Presently I am working with a renowned company with strong mission and vision. In the very recent time this is become very clear to me that I need more motivation from a stronger mission oriented firm. The mission of your company “Create possibility for underrated profession” attract me very much to work with and continue my positive career growth.

I have been working more than seven years and fond of to work with more communication and collaboration where the area of my work expansion is very much limited. I like a wide working environment where I can show my professional experience more broadly and continue my professionalism. I am very much excited to do the same.

More target more pay

This may be a great factor to leave your current position but this issue is more sensitive to share which can indifferently interviewer can interpret. Best option is to interact with more target oriented job, more possibility to get rewarded.

I am motivated with lot of factors, client satisfaction, peers satisfaction, excellent working environment, friendly reporting manager may be the top of the list but I like to receive more compensation package which is also a great motivation for me and I am very much excited to get the opportunity, want to exceed my target and get more rewards which drive me positively

“I am no longer like my job”

This condition arise from a situation where employee involve in long term monotonous job. Same day same position, no promotion, no motivation create a dissatisfaction to the current role. Opposite situation may arise, employee himself is not capable to play the current role, not like to take new challenge, fond of monotonous job. His skill and ability didn’t match with the current job.

Try to make a positive response based on which opportunity you are seeking and which challenge you want to take at your new role. “I have been working my current role more than three years and recently I am seeking more opportunities where I can continue developing my skill and abilities”

Or you can explain” I have gain more and more positive professional experience through my current job. Now I am searching more opportunity where I can expose myself as positive team leader and I am very much excited to do the same in my new role”

“I am unable to continue my office schedule”

Time management of a specific office play a vital role to do the activities. Almost every office follow the similar time frame in terms of General shift, Morning shift, Night Shift and another shift when require but not limited to. Perhaps you can involve in a different time frame office which totally different to standard system then you can go with this point to focus on as

”I know that I will perform very well when I am in healthy balance with work environment and positive time management. I am very much committed with my existing office schedule and all day I plan about this issue and I also like to take flexibility of time scheduling where applicable and continue my professional expertise in everyday life”

The very best expiation to leaving a job

There are many reasons you can and should explain why you’re looking for a new opportunity. As professionals grow in the workplace, there is a natural flow from one job to the next as people seek out new learning opportunities, career development, new environments and other factors. Let’s look at a few examples of good reasons you’re looking for a new job:

Searching for best career growth

Based on the company police, every company has its own style for career progression of the employee. Some company offer positive career growth with short period of time and others offer slow career progression. This the strong reason to leave the current job for positive career development. You can explain this situation in the following way.

I have been working with a positive minded co-worker and excellent working environment but no possibility to step forward to the next level. Your company mission and vision interested me for career advancement where I can able to show my own path based on performance based career progression”

Strong desire to change existing career paths

The very common thing is to people to explore the different career path in his lifespan. In his entry level of job, most the job seeker take offer of any type of job which may be justified with his educational qualification or not. Those who are not lucky enough take offer without any career planning. In some period of time or after few years they feel loneliness once meeting their old friends want change career path very desperately. Again they do the same wrong that was made at the start of their career.

Be cool and be simple. Think a while, are really want to change your career path? Is it require to change the existing position? Are you not happy enough with your post? It if yes then you can go with the answer during interview session.

I’m really looking for a new working space which is totally absent in my present organization where I can prove myself as a very good team leader and expand my real formulation skills of different pharmaceuticals area.

Identified a better chance

You have to leave your current company when you will get better opportunity, this may be your better salary structure, you will get extra benefits, better working environments, more evaluation of your work where you will show your better existence the you can go with-

“My job role was multidimensional and I have learned most of the critical assessment of risk. My actual goal was to save the company from any potential financial risk. I like to expand my expertise in cross-functional department but my existing position didn’t allow me to do the same”

Compel to go or laid off

This is the fate of some people which can’t avoid, don’t worry take some time and think a while and prepare a best answer why you are looking for the job. Try to avoid personal matters. You can take the following issue-

Be honest without describe any unnecessary details

Never mention the word” You are fired”

Explain the best you get from the situation

Give the reason why you are best fit for the available position

Here are the two options for the two different situations:

If you are compel to go:         

“I myself realize my previous employer and I realize my former employer and I had done some activities different way which was beyond their expectation. Now I have learn a lot and I’m very much excited about the role to bring that adulthood to my next professional life.

Your company is laid off:

“I am the sufferer by my current company, unfortunately is going laid off and 50% of the current employee is going to compulsory separation. For this unavoidable circumstances I like to move another destination before final separation where I can reshuffle my career and show my expertise”.

This is the all out the reason to “Why do you want to leave your current job? Hope this is all the issue but not limited to. There may be other severe reason when a person is compel to search a new opportunity.

Viva

This is an opportunity for candidates to build their story and leave a lasting impression during the interview.

Imagine a scenario where a marketing manager is asked this question during an interview. They may respond by highlighting issues such as limited growth opportunities, mismatched company culture, or an unsupportive work environment. While these claims may be true, emphasizing them may create a negative impression of the candidate in the eyes of the interviewer.

In today’s competitive job market, interviewers are becoming smarter. They’re not just filling a position, they’re evaluating candidates for fit and potential contribution to the company culture.

“Tell me about yourself” what the best answer is?

Viva

Tell me about yourself, this seems very easy question to all. What is it, I can handle it very well? Really you can do that? Wait. It is not easy that you are thinking. This is really a Tricky question.

How to handle this question? Start with your background, Start with current status, start with future plan or you are going to answer it like a professional guy. I am sure you are just worried to give this answer. Well you are not the one. Thousands of job seekers are just waiting to get the best answer. Actually most of the people are tremendously struggle to do the same.

So how I get the best answer about the question” Tell me about yourself”

First, it’s important to understand why interviewers ask job applicants the question “Tell me about yourself.” From an employer’s perspective, this question serves several purposes. The goal is to obtain information about the candidate’s suitability for the position, personality, communication skills, and overall fit with the company culture. This is not about delving into personal or family history, nor about spreading rumors. Rather, it is a strategic inquiry aimed at understanding an individual’s nature.

Imagine a scenario where you apply for a marketing position at a tech startup. The interviewer may want to determine your marketing background, approach to problem solving, communication style, and your fit with the company’s culture of innovation. We want to gain insight into your professional identity to ensure that you have the necessary qualities and experience to excel in the role.

The answer to this question is very important because it sets the tone for the entire interview. This is your opportunity to create a compelling story that highlights your strengths, experience, and accomplishments as they relate to the position. Think of this as your elevator pitch. It is a short but effective outline of who you are professionally.

Imagine that you are the interviewer and you have decided to give a structured answer that highlights your experience with digital marketing, your passion for achieving results, and your ability to adapt to a rapidly changing environment. This answer not only answers the interviewer’s question, but it leaves a lasting impression and establishes you as a strong candidate for the job.

Conversely, imagine giving an unexpected or poorly worded answer that doesn’t meet your employer’s expectations. You may encounter irrelevant personal anecdotes or inconsistent descriptions of your background. In these situations, the interviewer may feel that you lack focus or qualifications for the position, which may cause them to question your candidacy.

Ultimately, the quality of your answer to the “Tell me about yourself” question can have a significant impact on how the interviewer views your suitability for the job. By writing thoughtful, relevant answers that reflect your qualifications and focus on the job, you increase your chances of advancing to the interview. It’s not about memorizing a script, it’s about conveying sincerity, professionalism, and passion for the opportunity given.

 

Give the answer at very much straightforward. A better answer must be-

Personalized- You are going to apply for a “Quality Control Job”. An employer didn’t want the production or Quality Assurance related experiences. Your answer must be relevant for the job that you applied for.

Well, it’s actually pretty straightforward. A good answer should be-

Specific on Experience– Please don’t say that “I am Isabela Paris and in the year of 20XX, I was High school student then in the year of 20XX I was College student then I myself admitted in the University of XYZ”. Your answer must be consist of your relevant experience, background, degree, achievements, your personal interest, hobby and current status.

Organized– You should follow the simply, smart, easy format so that everybody can easily read your speech very well. Never complex the simple issue. Try to keep it simple, just include the information what really you are. A typical answer may be consist of-

Present- Describe your current position, activities and major role

Past-Describe your previous activities, experience, achievements

Future-Describe your next plan that you are going to be that may be tell the interviewer that “Why you want this Job?

Here are some basic tips, you can follow the issue-

Be Professional in brief

When you are going to answer” Tell me about yourself”. Keep your speech not more than 2 minutes. No body want your entire life history at all even HR Manager. You can’t start with your Kindergarten / Primary School/ High School/ University Life or like that. Just deliver you specific point which is best fit for the job.

You can’t start with” I was a student of XYZ high school, since I grow up I passed my high school then I admitted myself at Higher Secondary School. After that I got myself admitted in University in the year of …

This is really a bad idea to do that, you have to start with your current status just like” Thank you very much for shortlisting me. I am Isabela Paris. I am Pharmacist with ten years of practical experience in different pharmaceutical company especially in document section both national and international affairs”. Just keep it simple.

Practice, practice and practice but don’t copycat others
