41. Tell me what you know about our company.
Sample excellent response:
You're large and respected worldwide. You're both
a clinical and teaching hospital. Over the last 60 to
70 years you've produced award-winning research.
In reviewing your Web site, I've familiarized myself
with many of your corporate goals and objectives.

42. Why did you decide to seek a position in this company?
Sample excellent response:
I am convinced that there would be no better place
to work than Accenture. You are the top consulting
firm in the United States. You provide your employees
with the tools they need to stay competitive and sharpen
their skills while working in an open, team-based environment.
I am also aware that you provide a mentor for all new
employees, and I would embrace any opportunity to work
with a mentor and eventually become one myself.
Sample excellent response:
Although I would prefer to stay in the Mid-Atlantic area,
I would not rule out other possibilities.
44. Why do you think you might like to live in the community in which our company is located?
Sample excellent response:
Just a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to spend several
days in your community, and I fell in love with it. I love the
fact that you have a thriving riverfront. I'm impressed
with the many cultural opportunities here -- opera, theater,
art, and independent films. I've also already become a
fan of the Saints and the other sports teams based here. I have
conducted significant Internet research on this city, so I
am quite comfortable with your location.
45. Would it be a problem for you to relocate?
Sample excellent response:
I'm open to opportunities within the company; if those
opportunities involve relocation, I would certainly consider it.
46. To what extent would you be willing to travel for the job?
Sample excellent response:
I am more than willing to travel. I understand the importance of going
above and beyond the call of duty to satisfy customer requests is
sometimes required and that Merrill Lynch's customer focus belief
means that travel is expected in some circumstances. I am willing to
make this commitment to do whatever it takes to develop that long-term
relationship with a small business or client. It is only through this relationship
that loyalty can be maintained and financial gains and growth can occur for
both the client and Merrill Lynch. It is my understanding from other financial
consultants that I have interviewed at Merrill Lynch that this occurs maybe
one or two times a month.
47. Which is more important to you, the job itself or your salary?
Sample excellent response:
A salary commensurate with my experience and skills is
important, but it's only one piece of the package. Many other
elements go into making up a compensation package, but more
importantly, it's critical to me to enjoy what I'm doing,
fit into the corporate culture, and feel I'm making
a genuine contribution.
48. What level of compensation would it take to make you happy?
Sample excellent response:
I am not depending on money to make me happy.
What makes me happy is having a satisfying job
that provides challenge and new situations daily.
