Cloth Washer Interview Question and Answer

1. 1. Why did you leave your last job as Cloth Washer?

Whatever the situation was from your previous job, you should always answer this question with a positive and enthusiastic response.

Under no circumstances should you criticize your previous employer, as this will appear unprofessional.

2. 2. When was the last time that you thought outside of the box? What did you do?

While playing with my sisters dog my 2 year old sister ran out of my parents room crying because my mom refused to play with her so instead I went and picked her up and hand her a tennis ball and imitated throughing it till she followed my lead and threw it for the dog to chase after while I got the ball back from the dog and continued doing this not only making the dog happy but my little sister to at the same time.

3. 3. What are your salary expectations as Cloth Washer?

Many consider this question to be a loaded gun – dangerous in the hands of the inexperienced. Often times, an interviewee will start talking salary before they’ve had an opportunity to illustrate their skill set and value making any sort of leverage valueless. Here, knowledge is power, as salary often comes down to negotiation. Do some research into your industry to establish base rates of pay based on seniority and demand but keep in mind – your employer is hiring you for what they believe you are worth, and how much benefit they feel you will provide.

4. 4. How would you describe your work ethic?

I want to do it right the first time I work on it and have the customer and my employer happy and satisfied with the job I have performed.

Come to think of it, I belive I actually work better under pressure. It’s help me produce some of my best work and to be honest I like being challenged. From a stress management point of view, I like to burn off the day with a workout or by going for a run.

I enjoy the physical proof of a good job being done aka clean cloths without stains or tears marring there surface.

8. 8. Could you tell me a little bit about your computer skills?

I know how to access and work most Microsoft programs and how to use browsers to the fullest of my knowledge.

9. 9. What do you see yourself doing in five years as Cloth Washer?

This one is all about job commitment.

Some people make job hopping a career in of itself, and your answer here can be telling. Here, your interviewer is determining if you are:

☛ someone who sets goals
☛ someone who has a vision
☛ someone who is reliable
☛ someone who demonstrates commitment
☛ someone who is loyal

While no interviewer expects someone to stay at a company forever, try and craft your response in such a way that shows progression in your career, and alignment with the Company’s needs and future. Again, self-awareness is key – your employer doesn’t want to send you down an unwanted path, resulting in wasted time and energy for everyone.

10. 10. Why do you want to work as Hotel laundry attendant for this organization?

Being unfamiliar with the organization will spoil your chances with 75% of interviewers, according to one survey, so take this chance to show you have done your preparation and know the company inside and out. You will now have the chance to demonstrate that you’ve done your research, so reply mentioning all the positive things you have found out about the organization and its sector etc. This means you’ll have an enjoyable work environment and stability of employment etc – everything that brings out the best in you.

11. 11. Explain the abilities you have in order to work with us as laundry and dry cleaning worker?

I have the ability to keep your hand and arm steady while moving your arm or while holding your arm and hand in one position, see details at close range (within a few feet of the observer), use your abdominal and lower back muscles to support part of the body repeatedly or continuously over time without ‘giving out’ or fatiguing, apply general rules to specific problems to produce answers that make sense, combine pieces of information to form general rules or conclusions (includes finding a relationship among seemingly unrelated events).

12. 12. As you know I like what I am hearing but we have got a ton of great candidates. Why should we hire you?

An easy question to answer well with one caveat – don’t slam your fellow interviewee’s. On the one hand, you have an opportunity to really stand out from the pack. Alternatively, You shouldn’t assume the skills of other applicants. Focus on your own strengths, and if the interviewer hasn’t given you an opportunity to mention that one “slam dunk” quality about yourself, now would be the time.

Is there a wrong way to answer this question? Consider the responses below:

“I really need a job right now”
“I need the money”
“Your office is really close to my house”
“I’ve always been interested in what you guys do”

13. 13. Please explain us a difficult situation you have overcome in the workplace?

Conflict resolution, problem solving, communication and coping under pressure are transferable skills desired by many employers.
Answering this question right can help you demonstrate all of these traits.

• Use real-life examples from your previous roles that you are comfortable explaining
• Choose an example that demonstrates the role you played in resolving the situation clearly
• Remain professional at all times – you need to demonstrate that you can keep a cool head and know how to communicate with people

14. 14. Explain a situation when you had to exercise a significant amount of self-control?

Once during school one of my friends was being bullied and instead of trying to punch the person I maintained self-control and dragged my friend with me to the principal’s office to report the student.

15. 15. Tell me what experience do you have with respects to this particular LAUNDRY WORKER position?

Ever since my first paper route at age 10 I’ve been doing something to keep myself busy and earn money. Back then, it was obviously about earning some spending money. What I didn’t realize was that I was actually starting the journey of establishing what I liked to do and how I fit in to the grand scheme of things. I then worked as a junior computer tech in my last 2 summers of high school. It was here that I discovered what I was passionate about and what I wanted to do. I enrolled in college to get my degree in computer sciences, and I have been working around technology ever since.

16. 16. What are your weaknesses as Cloth Washer?

Another tricky one. The purpose of this question is to see how you view and evaluate yourself.

One the one hand, if you suggest you don’t have any weaknesses, your interviewer will almost certainly see you as a lair, egotistical, or both.

Don’t fall into the trap of trying to present a positive skill in disguise as a weakness, like “I work too hard” or “I am a perfectionist”. Any experienced interviewer will see through this in a heartbeat.

Additionally, revealing that “I’m not really a morning person and have been known to come in late” raises immediate and obvious red flags.

The trick here is to respond realistically by mentioning a small, work related weakness and what you are doing or have done to overcome it.

The safest answer contains a desire to be regarded as a true professional and team player. As far as promotion, that depends on finding a manager with whom you can grow.

It seems that’s where you need the effort and where I could contribute toward the company’s goals.” Or, “I have always felt that first-hand knowledge and experience open up opportunities that one might never have considered, so while at this point in time I plan to be a part of [e.g.] operations, it is reasonable to expect that other exciting opportunities will crop up in the meantime.”

37. 37. What kinds of challenges did you face on your last job? Give an example of how you handled them?

I have not been employed before.

38. 38. Explain me what are the main job duties and responsibilities of laundry and dry cleaning worker employee?

39. 39. I do not expect you to go into too much details; but why are you leaving your last job?

An innocent question. But a question that if answered improperly, can be a deal breaker. While many individuals will be looking to a new job as a means of increasing their salary, “not being paid well enough at your last job” is not something you want to mention to your interviewer. After all, are you not likely to leave this particular job if you found you could make more down the street?

If you’re currently employed and leaving of your own accord, craft your response around enhancing your career development and a seeking out of new challenges.

If your current employer is downsizing, be honest about it, remain positive, but keep it brief. If your employer fired you or let you go for cause, be prepared to give a brief – but honest – reply. No matter how tempting it may be, or how “unfair it was that they let you go” steer clear away from any and all drama and negativity. Any experienced employer understands that sometimes things happen. Staying positive is key here.

43. 43. Please explain what are the main positive things your last boss would say about you?

It’s time to pull out your old performance appraisals and boss’s quotes. This is a great way to brag about yourself through someone else’s words: “My boss has told me that I am the best designer he has ever had. He knows he can rely on me, and he likes my sense of humor.”

44. 44. Explain what can you offer me that another person can’t?

This is when you talk about your record of getting things done. Go into specifics from your résumé and portfolio; show an employer your value and how you’d be an asset.

Suggested answer: “I’m the best person for the job. I know there are other candidates who could fill this position, but my passion for excellence sets me apart from the pack. I am committed to always producing the best results. For example…”

45. 45. What are your weaknesses for Hotel laundry attendant position?

Try not to be too critical when answering this question. Instead, pick one of your weaknesses and try to turn it into a positive.

For example, you could be a perfectionist, which means that you sometimes take longer on tasks, but you make sure that they are completed to a high quality. It is important to make a negative into a positive as it doesn’t make you appear overly critical and shows you can reflect on your own performance.

If rushed to write immediately it will most likely be sloppy but if give time I can write neatly.

47. 47. What would your current coworkers say about you?

A short positive response is best. Discuss any attributes that may set you apart from other job candidates.
Emphasize benefits to the company.

50. 50. What are your strengths as Cloth Washer?

While this question is an invitation to do some chest pounding, remember to illustrate strengths that will benefit the employer and are relative to the position. For example:

☛ being a problem solver
☛ being a motivator
☛ being a natural leader
☛ the ability to perform under pressure
☛ a positive attitude
☛ loyalty

Are typically all solid strengths, but again, consider the position. For example, mentioning you are an excellent “team player” in a job where you largely work alone suddenly becomes irrelevant to the employer and demonstrates a genuine lack of self-awareness.
