Discussion:

1. What would you do if your boss refused to let you take your holiday at a time
convenient for you and your family?
Answer:
I will ask my supervisor about the reasons for my refusal of vacation permit and explain
the reasons I applied for a vacation permit and the availability of my annual leave
entitlement. If the reason for my leave is considered non-urgent, then I will accept a
vacation permit rejection if there is an important and urgent company task and will apply
for a vacation permit when the work is completed. However, if the reason for my leave is
for an important and urgent matter, then I will still apply for leave to my supervisor
because I still have the right to annual leave.

2. How would you deal with a colleague who always complained to the boss about
other colleagues?
Answer:
I will try to advice him/her if I think what is he/she complaining about is not true. But if it
turns out to be true and the purpose is good, then I will support him/her in order to create
a positive work atmosphere and keep professional.

You think the work procedures of your company are badly in need of change. How
would you suggest this to the boss?
Answer:
When I want to apply for an update on the company's work procedures that have been set
to the superiors, then I must explain the reasons why changes must be made to the work
procedures to the supervisor by showing the strengths and weaknesses of the procedures
that are currently being applied. I say that the current work procedures are not appropriate
if they are still applied, for example because they are not in accordance with the current
rapid technological developments, there are often contradictions between procedures and
practices in the field and comparing the work procedures of other similar companies to
apply. That way, I can suggest how the new work procedures are good, effective and
efficient for the company.

3. What would be your advice to a friend who is preparing for a job interview?
Answer:
I will give advice to my friend to first seek information about the company and the
position he wants to go to for an interview, and I will tell what to do and not to do when
conducting an interview, discipline, dress neatly, polite, attractive appearance and in
conducting interviews, one must be optimistic and confident in answering every question
from the interviewer.

4. How would you entertain a very important client?

Answer:
If I want to entertain a client, we must seek information about the client's
personality and what the client likes from social media and from the client's staff so that
when we want to have conversations and meetings with our clients we can do what can
entertain them, for example, he is a lover. coffee then we will invite him to have a
business meeting at the coffee shop he usually goes to.
5. The instruction manual (a very thick one!) for your latest piece of equipment is in
Japanese only. What would you do?
Answer:
I will look for the instructions on the internet so that I can understand better and if there
are none, then I will ask my friend who understands Japanese to help me understand the
contents of the instructions.

6. Staff motivation is very low at the moment. How would you suggest motivating
people to work harder?
Answer:
I think that in order for the staff to remain highly motivated I will explain the company's
initial goals and will provide rewards if the staff can meet the target in the form of
bonuses and I will give a motivational sentence that we will never feel tired when we love
what we do.
 7. How would you react if your boss (of the opposite sex) started taking a more than
business-like interest in you?
Answer:

I will continue to work professionally and adapt myself both inside and outside the work
environment and be wise and think positively.
