Contract Specialist Interview Questions
When businesses are looking to hire a contract specialist, they are looking for an individual who can help the company make deals with other companies or suppliers. Interviewers want to make sure you have a strong knowledge of finance, as well as impressive communication abilities, organisation skills and research skills.
Top Contract Specialist Interview Questions & How to Answer
Here are three top contract specialist interview questions and tips on how to answer them:
Question No. 1: What steps do you take to draft a contractual agreement?
How to answer: Employers want to gain an understanding of your knowledge and work process. Discuss each step in your process in a way that is clear and concise. Not only will this help interviewers understand your process, but you can also show off your communication and organisation skills in your answer.
Question No. 2: How important is negotiation in this position?
How to answer: Your answer to this question is a matter of opinion, but your answer also depends on the company you are applying to work for. Evaluate the job description to determine just how important it is to have negotiation skills in that position. You can also discuss how your well-written and well-researched contractual agreements make it harder for companies to refuse your offers.
Question No. 3: How do you stay up to date with the latest contract regulations and laws?
How to answer: The rules and regulations of the industry are always changing and employers want to make sure you are always in the know. Talk about how to stay up to date to prove you are responsible, a skilled researcher and a self-motivated employee.
Why do you want to work here? What is your biggest accomplishment? What has been your biggest failure? Asked some canned questions about your personality to determine what type of personality you have, i.e. type A, B, etc.

I think it's inappropriate to ask applicants to donate two hours to an online assessment pre-interview, at the start of the interviewing process. It seems arrogant, and impersonal. I'd be fine with 20 minutes. Two hours is too much, and likely hurts P2's reputation with applicants.

@Carbonate, in your original post, you state "This kind of tests beats any reference or experience ever" and you casually refer to "retards", "dumb people" and "the mentally and culturally limited". I think you meant to say "this kind of test" not "tests" and references to "retards", "dumb people", and the "mentally and culturally limited" are unprofessional, not to mention impolite. Statistically, it’s probable that one of your peers may have a developmentally disabled child, sibling, or other relative. So who hired you at P2, or are you in senior management there? Because, apparently the testing doesn't weed out bigots, loose cannons, and those who cannot use correct English grammar. On the other hand, an effective behavioral interview, along with a shorter version on the test, might. Less

@Carbonate, apologies - I was not kind above. I just got a little bit p-d off at having to take a two hour test as part of a job application, really. Not sure what part I flunked, really, but I was not applying for an engineering position, so much of the test just annoying me. Maybe I was too honest on the cultural questions. Best of fortune to you. Less
