SELECTION QUESTIONS
Enterprising Potential (E.P.) Selection Questions
- What kind of natural orientation does he have towards being a self-manager, i.e., how quickly and effectively can he learn to plan and organize himself and manage his time to get the daily, weekly etc. objectives met?
- How willing is he to take any learning opportunities to develop his self-management potential for use within the career, either from within the company or through outside sources?
- Ask about any specific tasks or requirements he may have had in the past which will show how he can take the requirement, convert it into a plan for action and how he manages his time and focuses his effort each day to get the job done. Ask him for references to verify the examples.
Achievement Potential (A.P.) Selection Questions
- You really want to know if this apparently very high level of achievement motivation has reflected itself in his behavior. Ask him to tell you about things he has done in the last two years which would show what motivates him and how effectively he does perform when motivated to do so. IMPORTANT! Ask him to give you examples of his performance in things which he does not feel were particularly motivating. Can he get the job done with vigor and enthusiasm even when he is not keen on it? Check with references.
- What does he feel motivates him? Does he do things primarily for the sense of accomplishment that success brings and/or for the more tangible rewards that come with being successful?
- Has he had some really good successes in work, in sports, in education or in his personal life where he has faced some real challenge and won? Check the examples with his references.
People Orientation (P.O.) Selection Questions
- Ask him how he feels about meeting and putting people at ease. Examples?
- How well does he adjust to different personalities? Examples?
- How does he feel and what has he done about the importance of team work and good public relations in achieving company goals? Examples?
