Ah man, as an entrepreneur who's dealt with some remote slackers, I can't help but admire how giving this person the alibi of "being left out" allows you to essentially put them on a performance improvement plan and document the issue all under the guise of "inclusivity and empathy" to avoid any personal fallout...gotta love it!
@jeffhsipepi 11 місяців тому
practicaltheory, people can obviously be left out for a number of reasons. I believe the intent of this question is all about how you make people feel included because everyone's personality type is different. And if people don't feel included on the team, the will struggle to hit their full potential.

Hey Jeff, just fyi, recieved a question just like this and one of the clarifying questions I asked was if they wanted to hear a personal example. He said an example would be great. Key things to consider, make sure you clarify with the interviewer, and make sure your example fits exactly with the question being asked.

Thanks!

Hi Jeff these contents are fantastic and the videos are definitely helpful I'm watching them all. I wanted to ask you If for a native English speaker and instead non-native speakers there is a greater difficulty in answering these interviews and these questions possibly? Do you have specific strategies to suggest how to deal with these interviews as a non-native speaker? It could be the suggestion for making specific videos
@jeffhsipepi 2 роки тому
Alessandro, yes, two critical items. First is that your language skills are likely better than you think. Secondly, because speaking a second language requires more brain processing, slow down, and take a little more time. I hope this helps!!
@mr.marianogarcia 2 роки тому
Hello Jeff, thanks for the great videos! I have a question: What is it about the question that makes you decide to approach it with CFS instead of just responding based on your experiences/knowledge? Is it that is vague (when "someone" is being left out vs when one of YOUR TEAM members)?
@jeffhsipepi 2 роки тому
Mariano, answer any question that does not specifically ask for an example with the CFAS method (we added A for assumptions). Not all interviewers dislike when you use an example to answer an open-ended question, but we don't know. You can ask if you can implement an example, but typically your interviewer will have an agenda of both open-ended and behavior questions. I hope this helps!

Hi Mr. Sipe, I really love your content and thank you so much for the time you take to film this content. So, I was just curious that during the interview, how do we differentiate between Behavioral Question or a Problem Solving Question since they have a very similar wording, however, the technique to answer these questions is very different. So how do should I go about that?
@jeffhsipepi 2 роки тому
Harsh, questions that start with Tell me about a time when or give me an example of, make up 90% of how behavioral questions are asked. How would you, what are the, and I want you to imagine are some common ways that open-ended questions are asked. Two keys are writing the question down and if you are unsure, ask!

@Jeff H Sipe Thanks again for the great content Jeff, I’m really practicing using your CFAS method, but I have a question: would it be a good idea to have a shared doc with your interviewer while problem solving? It may help with keeping track of things while giving your answer, what do you think? I’d write the question and then assumptions + solution while i explain my process. I don’t want it to be overkill though

Hi Jeff, its is quite interesting to learn how interview questions can be tricky and how smartly they can be answered. I saw your video around GCA and leadership interview questions. Wanted to know if you would have more information around GCC Google Custom Care support team leadership interview questions?
@jeffhsipepi 2 роки тому
Kam, typically the leadership questions don't flex a great deal position to position, but for your role, it would really be around leadership pertaining to customer experience. Whether that is working directly with a customer or leadership in helping others with customer challenges. And lastly, how you find more efficient/effective ways to create overall better experiences.

@nihanyami2011 2 роки тому
Hi Jeff, great content! Thanks for creating it. I think I am confused at one point. The question "What Do You Do When Someone is Being Left Out?" belongs to Googleyness & Leadership interview stage as stated in the video title so I'd use STAR schema to answer. If the same question were to be asked me in GCA interview stage, then I'd answer that question as you explained in the video. I also watched your other videos and there is one to answer "Tell Me About a Time You Were Asked to Do Something Unethical?". In that one, you are following the STAR approach rather than the CFS method. To summarize, I think this video with its current title right now causes inconsistency when we consider your other videos about following STAR or GCA methods. I'd appreciate any clarifications on this!
@jeffhsipepi 2 роки тому
zeynep nihan yami, thank you so much for your question, happy to clear up any confusion! The Googleyness and Leadership interview can have both behavioral and open-ended questions. The reason this is an open-ended question, is because at no point in the question do I ask you for an example. I ask you what would you do, this is a hypothetical scenario. The biggest item to look out for is the prompt that asks you for an example. If that example prompt is not given, problem solve. Now it is okay to ask your interviewer if you can provide an example, some will be open it, others will not. I hope this helps!!

Hi Jeff Have you covered in another video as a Leader the question What did you do if some one in your team start to arrive late and in the meetings remain disengage?
@jeffhsipepi 2 роки тому
Maches, I have not created a video on this question, but I have seen a question like this being asked. The focus on this answer should be one of establishing who, how long it has been occurring, and if this behavior was triggered by a specific event. Then you will want to use a Collaborative Framework - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/apZoaKFnfZhlopc.html, followed by solving by showing how you would talk through the situation with these team members and come up with an action plan.

@priyankaparanjape9936 3 роки тому
Hi Jeff, I watch most of your videos , a big thank you - your content is great. One question for behavioral questions : how do we bring more depth to learning & results specifically. Also how ideally should one answer a follow up question : what would you do differently if you had to do the same project all over again (in a positive scenario answer)
@jeffhsipepi 3 роки тому
Priyanka, good questions. More depth to results is all about repeatable results, how did this result change the greater process, strategy, relationships, etc. What was the larger impact. On learnings, I want less depth and more precision. One concise learning delivered quickly. Lastly, I got this specific follow up question in my GCA interview and I said "everything!!!" Acknowledging that there are multiple areas to improve is a good thing, talk about all those items positively, but about the potential to do even better. I hope this advice helps!

Kevin, the follow up questions really depend on your answer and the interviewer, but some potential follow up questions could be. Are there any other approaches you would consider? How would you measure success? Would you consider prioritizing the steps in a different manner? Reflecting back on your answer, anything you would have done differently? I hope this helps!
@salilgoyal2687 2 роки тому
@JeffHSipe Often some companies like amazon prefer to answer in star format with some personal life answers. So should we choose to include an example or not to include one?
@jeffhsipepi 2 роки тому
Salil Goyal, you are right, Amazon prefers for questions to be answered in the STAR format, so if they asked this question it would likely sound like - What do you do when someone is being left out? Can you provide an example of a time when this happened and what you did? Some Amazon questions will start open-ended, but typically the second half of the question will prompt you for an example. When answering this question at Google, they expect you to problem solve and not provide an example. I hope this answer helps!

I honestly think that the interviewee shouldn't be asking clarifying questions in a normal world. It's the interviewer's duty to ask the question as clear as it gets. But... this is how it goes apparently...
@jeffhsipepi Рік тому
Yagiz, good comment, there is quite a bit to unpack, so let's tackle it! First, I personally would not hire anyone that did not ask clarifying questions because for me, there is always missing data and I want to hire someone that will ask great questions before diving into solutions. Second, oftentimes the interviewer is intentionally leaving out information to see if the candidate clarifies and how they navigate ambiguity. Third, not all interviewers like clarifying questions, even if they leave out data. But in these cases if the interviewer shut me down as a candidate and told me not to ask clarifying questions, I would still clarify by using thought process, simply removing the questioning component and saying something like, I would be thinking about x, y, z.
