35. Tell us about a time when you demonstrated good customer
service/leadership skills etc.

When I was working as a teacher, I attended a family who wanted to inscribe

their children to Kumon. The worker with that functions didn’t assist that day, so
I wrote down their contact information and gave them the schedule for a meeting
with my boss.

36. Tell us about a time when you have been innovative at work.

When I was working at Kumon, I implemented a new strategy to advertise and

attract new potential students who will develop their skills at Kumon.

37. Tell us about a time you encountered a problem and how you resolved it.

When a new student is inscribed in the Kumon method, the assistant responsible
of he/she asks the parents to fill a sheet with all the personal information and the
assistant fills it with results of the test applied to him/her. A couple of months ago
one student didn’t fill the sheet with his personal information, so by the time when
the monthly report was about to be captured, I couldn’t put him in the database
and subsequently the report wouldn’t be sent. Luckily, that student hadn’t
assisted that day, so we could wait him and request his mother the information.
We called the parents to remind them to bring his son to the Kumon Center and
give their information.

38. Tell us about a time when you had to make a difficult decision.

Maybe this isn’t a hard decision, but one that divides. At university, one professor
gave us the exam for “homework” and told the group he’ll be receiving it the next
day. I solved it not quickly but early compared to my classmates. By the evening
I made a phone call to him and request alternatives to send him the exam,
because by tomorrow at morning I was going to be at Toluca. He said I could
take a photo to my exam and emailed it. One hour later my classmates were
asking me if I had the answers to the exam, and here I am deciding which
decision I’ll take: say yes to them and share the answers with them, say yes and
share no answers, or lie them and say I didn’t even have an idea to solve it.
 Finally, I decided to respond affirmative to their question and deny the answers
to them. Cheating leads nowhere else than disaster, early as the morning or late
as night.

39. Tell us about a time when you successfully managed a difficult situation at
work.
There was a very problematic student at Kumon, who hardly ever brought his
homework done. One day he decided to prove everybody’s patience: he started
to bother the students near him and talked loudly when my partners tried to shut
him up. So, I kindly asked him to calm down and get to work or his parents will
be noticed of his behavior. After that, he started to work because of my warning.
That is how you deal with a problematic kid.
40. Describe a situation in which you took a risk. What were the results?

A couple of years ago, I decided to pull out the 4 wisdom teeth once and for all.
The thing is I suffered a lot of pain and complications, even more when I was
traveling back to my home from Morelia, the place where my 4 wisdom teeth
were extracted. For an entire month, I had to be resting in my house eating soft
food, so my injuries could heal. Finally, I recovered very well by the next month.
It has been the most complicated and risky situation I’ve ever lived. If I was born
again, I’ll never do it again.

41. How do you work in a team?

I can work efficiently with people, mostly if I’m the one organizing and
proportionately delegating activities.

As someone who desires to improve himself every day, motivating others to do

the same.

43. How would your manager describe your work?

Pretty good customer service, great flexibility to take on projects and big
enthusiasm which others copy.
44. When were you happiest at work?

When I started to work as a teacher in Kumon Center.

45. You seem not to have too much experience in communication. Do you think
this would be a problem?

Yes, because it’s the base of any successful industry. By the way, I’m working
on it since I was at university, and every year I can notice an improvement.

46. Do you think you are overqualified for this position?

No, I’m just the ideal person to take the charge and develop all the responsibilities
with efficiency.

of taking risks that will benefit my employer and partners.

48. Where do you see yourself in five years?

I see myself in this position I’m requesting from you, being a capable employee
and more responsible than now. I can’t imagine myself working in another
company that isn’t this one.

49. How do you hope to develop your career further?

Maybe be hired in this company and work in the administration of it.

50. Do you have any questions you would like to ask us?

No, I’ll prefer to wait until you hire me.
