Interview questions

Q: what is your weakness


A: My weakness is spending extra time trying to perfect all
imperfections in any dessert I create. My baking program at Humber
has taught me how to manage my time efficiently to allow more time
to perfect.

Q: where do you see yourself in 5 years


A: I see myself advancing my career as a head pastry chef, getting as
much experience as I am able to about running a bakery, so I can
further my career to open a bakery of my own.

Q: what motivates you


A: What motivates me is having a team that works well, efficient and
clean to complete goals or deadlines.

Q: From your resume it seems you took a gap year. Would you like to

created a home-based business selling chocolate covered
strawberries and soon realized I had a stronger passion for baking
and learning how to run a business

career, learning what it takes to productively run a bakery and

Q: talk about a time you failed


A: The time I have failed was when I took too many responsibilities
and not having enough time to give each project 110%.

Q: why do you think we should hire you over another qualified


candidate
A: I believe all the other candidates are qualified, although I can only
let my work speak for me.

Q: has a customer ever given you constructive feedback, what was


your reaction
A: Once I made a cake for someone, and they did not like the way I
decorated the cake. She explained the theme into more detail. It
helped me to understand a different perspective and figure out new
techniques to please the customer

Q: how do you ensure you stay updated on the various baking trends
A: I stay updated through Instagram, TickTock, YouTube videos or
baking shows on Netflix

Q: tell me about yourself
