Ive been there for the past five years and am currently the Director of Toy Production. During that time sales have grown steadily.

I think that really helps to build employee satisfaction and loyalty.

Q5. How would you handle a situation where you and your supervisor disagreed about an issue or course of action?
A: Sure. One definitely comes to mind. Last year a project for a new toy was in its final stages after two years of work. As we were looking at the branding and working up a final marketing plan, a competitor launched a version of the exact same toy that we were launching. As the leader of the project, I knew that my reaction would set the tone for the group. I acknowledged that it was s setback, but challenged the group to think of this as a blessing in disguise. I asked them to go out and buy the competitor's product and make a list of anything they wished the toy could do that it didn't. It turned out that the list was pretty long. We added these items to our toy, and launched a far superior product 6 months later. So, in many ways, the competitor's product became the key to our success.
Q6. What is your greatest weakness?
A: My biggest weakness is public speaking. It's something that I've spent a lot of time working on and in which I've improved a great deal. I'm very comfortable in smaller meetings with my teams. But when I present an idea or concept to a larger audience, I still experience some stage fright. At this point, I can handle these situations professionally, but I would like to be more comfortable in these moments so I can really enjoy the experience of presenting, rather than just survive it.

Q7. Where do you see yourself in one years?
Q7. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I'd like to be in a Vice President position with a focus on development. And while I know that would require much more public speaking, in five years I plan on being ready for it.
Q8. Do you have any questions for me?
A: Yes. Imagine you're looking back on this hiring decision in a year. The person you hired had exceeded your expectations. What did he or she do that impressed you the most?
Interviewer: I think in one year the person would have come in and spent some time learning from the team and people that have been here a while. Then, she or he will begin making changes in an informed way. In one year I want this person's team to be a well-oiled machine. I want them to be bouncing ideas off each other, coming up with new designs and making headway into new markets.
Interviewee: That's helpful. It's good to know what the expectations are. Can you tell me a little bit more about the team that I would be working with?
Interviewer: Sure. I believe all of them have been with the company for over five years and know the ropes. I would say there's a little bit of frustration currently because of our lack of growth. This will be the third time we've brought in a new team leader in four years.
Interviewee: Do you know what's causing that kind of rapid turn over?
Interviewer: To be honest, the last three team leaders have been hired from within the company. And sometimes it's hard to think outside the box when you've been inside the box for awhile. We're hoping to bring in some new ideas and energy and get our development team back on track.
Interviewee: That makes sense. I really appreciate that you're considering me for the position. I'd loved to be a part of the company achieving its goals.
