Top Coordinator Interview Questions & How to Answer

Here are three top coordinator interview questions and tips on how to answer them:

Question No. 1: Discuss a time when you struggled to coordinate a project.

How to answer: This open-ended question allows you to highlight how your attitude reflected your frustration. Avoid blaming anyone else for your failures with the project, and state that you were at fault. Talk about how you learned your lesson and can parlay what you learned into other instances.

Question No. 2: How do you prioritise when you coordinate multiple projects at a time?

How to answer: With this question, the interviewer wants to know how well you can multitask. Discuss how you prioritise projects and work closely with others to complete the job. Cover how you logically formulate a plan and approach the situation while delegating specific tasks.

Question No. 3: What was your favourite project that you spearheaded?

How to answer: A successful coordinator is self-motivated and has the ability to get others to collaborate. Use this opportunity to highlight a project dear to you that allowed you to shine. Perhaps it was a project that had a tight deadline or several obstacles you had to overcome.

Do you believe in Big Foot?

39 Answers

Yes, I am married to her.

Do you want me to believe in Big Foot?

I believe in Bigfoot as a symbol. A symbol for uneducated people that there may still be mystery and excitement in the world. A symbol so inspiring people will do absurd things to seek out that excitement. In this light, Bigfoot is an example of how easily people will believe in something they wanted to all along. Now we just need to convince them that a cruise will get them laid/ save their marriage/ reconnect them to their kids/ make them feel young again/ make memories that will last a lifetime and we'll be tripping over piles of cash.

Would you prefer to have 1) a task with given "step-by-step" completion recommendations or 2) just an overall goal that you have to accomplish, and if you stay within the area of allowed actions - you are good, so you can decide in which way you are going to accomplish the goal.
