Top Business Associate Interview Questions & How To Answer

Question No. 1: Discuss a time when you had a conflict with a colleague and how you handled it.

How to answer: It is important to show that even though you work in a stressful industry, you can curtail your emotions and not let them get the best of you. Use the STAR method to give an example of how you calmly worked with your colleague and moved forward on the project.

Question No. 2: How do you structure your day?

How to answer: As a business associate, you might find that your days can be monotonous, so the interviewer wants to know how you stay motivated and on-task. Mention how your organisational and time-management skills help you juggle issues with multiple clients and priorities.

Question No. 3: Describe an instance when you implemented a successful business strategy.

How to answer: In this open-ended question, the interviewer wants to learn about your business knowledge and how well you adhere to goals. Highlight your ability to work well with others while maintaining independence in creating the plan. You could also mention any issues that arose and how you circumvented them.

It's an unfortunate truth that indeed "mediocrity rises". Less

Imagine, if you're outside a room and there are 3 (three) switches right next to you, each switch corresponds to a bulb placed in the closed room right in-front of you, how would you know without only going inside the room once, that which switch exactly corresponds to which bulb? (You can only go inside once)

6 Answers

Switch on switches 1 & 2, wait a moment and switch off number 2. Enter the room. Whichever bulb is on is wired to switch 1, whichever is off and hot is wired to switch number 2, and the third is wired to switch 3. Or switchon 1, then wait for a while and switch on 2. When you get in to the room two of the bulbs will be on but one will be much hotter although 1st one is more logical Less

There are several ways of checking the switches. Turn on switches 1 and 3 and then, after a few seconds turn of the third switch and enter the room. The light which is on is switch #1 and the hot or warm light bulb is switch #3. The cold bulb is switch #2. The same exercise can be done using switches 2 and 3 or switches 1 and 2. Less
