59. 1:59about the enterprise interview and
60. 2:01application format there were four
61. 2:03stages which candidates tended to
62. 2:05identify
63. 2:06took about two months to complete the
64. 2:08whole stage after an online application
65. 2:11you'll be asked to complete a phone call
66. 2:13with some competency questions it was
67. 2:14about 10 minutes you then have to do a
68. 2:17video interview which is about 30
69. 2:18minutes long the next stage is where you
70. 2:20actually visit a branch an interview
71. 2:22with an area manager and talk to you
72. 2:24about the eight core values that
73. 2:26enterprise holds and the last stage is
74. 2:28an assessment center the regional head
75. 2:30office which includes group activities
76. 2:32and a final interview of a city manager
77. 2:34we're going to be concentrating on in
78. 2:36the interviews we're going to be talking
79. 2:38about the eight most common questions
80. 2:39that we came across which seem to really
81. 2:41feature heavily for enterprises
82. 2:43interviews and talk about how you want
83. 2:46to think about answering those questions
84. 2:48so let's jump into those eight questions
85. 2:50question number one why enterprise so
86. 2:52just like i did there with
87. 2:55telling you um that little story about
88. 2:57chuck taylor just like i did then
89. 2:59telling you that story about jack taylor
90. 3:01enterprise is really quite a fascinating
91. 3:03company
92. 3:04how it's grown there are lots of facts
93. 3:07out there you can learn it from the
94. 3:08website the about us page history
95. 3:11and your reports
96. 3:12just general business news and one thing
97. 3:15you really want to think about when
98. 3:16talking about why you want to work this
99. 3:18company is make sure that the facts are
100. 3:19specific to the company that they're
101. 3:21interesting and interesting to you and
102. 3:24also what your opinion is about it or
103. 3:26why does this move you why does this
104. 3:28motivate you to work for this company i
105. 3:30know that sometimes candidates kind of
106. 3:32struggle with this they're like oh i'm
107. 3:33not really bothered but you want to be
108. 3:35bothered look imagine if this was your
109. 3:37company if someone was coming to work
110. 3:38for
111. 3:39you in your house for example you want
112. 3:42to know that they're really motivated to
113. 3:43be there they didn't seem that motivated
114. 3:46then you probably wouldn't want them in
115. 3:47the house uh you don't want a negative
116. 3:50nelly work and exactly the same goes for
117. 3:52this we want people around us who are
118. 3:54sort of motivated ambitious energetic
119. 3:56and confident and we can feed off their
120. 3:58own question number two why this role
121. 4:00this is a two-part so first of all when
122. 4:03talking about why this role what are you
123. 4:05going to do at enterprise are you going
124. 4:07to be a store manager an area manager
125. 4:10are you going to work in corporate what
126. 4:11is it that you're going to be doing
127. 4:13explain to me what you'd be expected to
128. 4:15do on a daily basis look if somebody
129. 4:17goes into mcdonald's and asks for a job
130. 4:20one of the first things that a manager
131. 4:21is going to say is like what do you
132. 4:22think you're going to do here i'll be
133. 4:24like oh well actually i think i'm just
134. 4:26going to uh you know sit around and play
135. 4:28on my ipad and you know maybe take an
136. 4:30order or two it's like yeah i don't
137. 4:31think this job is for you one of the
138. 4:33most important things that employers are
139. 4:35looking for is for candidates to really
140. 4:36understand what they're going to be
141. 4:38doing
142. 4:38and the best way to think about this
143. 4:40simply is just what would a typical day
144. 4:42look like in the job
145. 4:44the second part of this question is you
146. 4:46picking out the important skills whether
147. 4:49they be soft skills like communication
148. 4:51interpersonal leadership
149. 4:53skills and those types of things
150. 4:55behavioral skills
151. 4:56that you think are important and how you
152. 4:59can demonstrate those would that be from
153. 5:01work experience from extra curricular
154. 5:03activities from volunteering from clubs
155. 5:06and societies or just from school and
156. 5:08how you can demonstrate that you have
157. 5:09those roles for example if you're
158. 5:11working as a branch manager an
159. 5:13enterprise you need to be pretty good
160. 5:14with people so you're going to be
161. 5:16dealing with customers dealing with
162. 5:18staff dealing with complaints dealing
163. 5:19with kind of weird and wonderful things
164. 5:22that people are looking for you're going
165. 5:23to need to be pretty good with dealing
166. 5:25with people and also with resolving
167. 5:27conflict in some form or fashion and
168. 5:29developing
169. 5:30or having some good level of client
170. 5:33service otherwise it's a job that you're
171. 5:35really going to struggle with also do
172. 5:36you need any hard skills for the role
173. 5:38for example do you need a particular
174. 5:39qualification do you need to speak a
175. 5:41certain language do you need to code do
176. 5:43you have those skills is that something
177. 5:45that they've identified in their job
178. 5:47description they're
179. 5:48really looking for candidates to have
180. 5:49question three why do you think you
181. 5:51would be a good fit for enterprise so
182. 5:54enterprise has got a really good
183. 5:55reputation as a family-run business and
184. 5:57also for retaining staff something you
185. 5:59really want to think about is tie back
186. 6:01into enterprises eight core values which
187. 6:04they you know we already saw in the
188. 6:06interview process i really think about
189. 6:08the language that they're using um
190. 6:10they're looking to develop leaders
191. 6:12they're looking for people to develop in
192. 6:13the company to move from like a branch
193. 6:15manager to an area manager to
194. 6:17a country manager and so on and so forth
195. 6:20and also what is it that really
196. 6:21interests you
197. 6:22about doing this job is it about serving
198. 6:25people is it about being part of the
199. 6:27rentals industry
200. 6:30really think about what makes you a good
201. 6:32fit maybe you're just great with people
202. 6:33and you really love a sales environment
203. 6:35maybe you're ambitious and want to have
204. 6:37experience at a world-class company
205. 6:39whatever it is you know have a think
206. 6:41about it and really try to
207. 6:43develop out that process into a
208. 6:44compelling answer section four where do
209. 6:46you see yourself in five years here the
210. 6:49answer is always at this company
211. 6:51depending upon the the structure of the
212. 6:54company itself you might say i'd hope to
213. 6:56be an area manager i'd hope to be
214. 6:58managing a couple of branches and i'd
215. 7:00still want to be learning and growing at
216. 7:02enterprise any time you get answered
217. 7:04where do you see yourself in five years
218. 7:05it's always here question five what your
219. 7:07strengths and weaknesses as we've spoken
220. 7:09about before in other past interview
221. 7:10videos they ask for your strengths and
222. 7:12weaknesses i generally say to say pick
223. 7:14one strength one weakness unless you
224. 7:16know that you're going to be given more
225. 7:18than two minutes to answer this is quite
226. 7:20a lot to say
227. 7:21in two minutes a lot of candidates will
228. 7:23just run out of time so they'll kind of
229. 7:25talk about five strengths that they have
230. 7:27and they go oh my god
231. 7:28my biggest weakness is that i can't say
232. 7:30no or something like like that so when
233. 7:32you're answering this question
234. 7:34um think about what's a good strength
235. 7:36for the job and give me some proof give
236. 7:38me an example a time
237. 7:40that you did that thing and when you're
238. 7:42thinking about weakness don't think
239. 7:44about something that's necessarily false
240. 7:47but think about something that is in a
241. 7:49sense compelling is teachable as well so
242. 7:52it could be
243. 7:54organization time management missing a
244. 7:56deadline just something that actually at
245. 7:58the time provided you with a really good
246. 8:00learning experience thinking well i need
247. 8:02to be better i need to put a system or
248. 8:04process into place that's going to help
249. 8:06me you know do this more effectively
250. 8:10but don't try and think of a weakness
251. 8:12that's not a weakness it's not really
252. 8:14attack that i particularly like to use
253. 8:16over the years i think if you're honest
254. 8:18and open it tends to be more compelling
255. 8:21it tends to make for a better story and
256. 8:22a better answer question number six tell
257. 8:24us about a time when he demonstrated
258. 8:26teamwork teamwork's absolutely crucial
259. 8:28enterprise as the same with a lot of
260. 8:30other companies um mainly because
261. 8:32uh i don't know if you've ever rented a
262. 8:34car i've been in this car rental it's
263. 8:36really busy right so you get people who
264. 8:39pile off of an airplane i'm talking
265. 8:41about an airport obviously there are
266. 8:43other offices
267. 8:44and places where people rent cars but
268. 8:46people come to rent a car i generally
269. 8:48like they're short on time they're a
270. 8:50little bit crabby
271. 8:51particularly if they've just got off a
272. 8:53really long flight
273. 8:54and they want somebody who is
274. 8:57you know bright sunny who's going to be
275. 8:59able to give them a good level of
276. 9:00service who's really going to be able to
277. 9:02help them when they won't really be able
278. 9:03to help themselves and you want somebody
279. 9:05in a team who's going to be able to help
280. 9:07out for example if you're short stuff
281. 9:09just being you know ultimately what
282. 9:11makes a good team member someone who's
283. 9:13just super helpful someone who's
284. 9:15available who's helpful who's willing to
285. 9:17go the extra mile who's kind of really
286. 9:19knows that what makes up the frame of a
287. 9:21team is their attitude and their
288. 9:24application towards their work question
289. 9:26seven what do you know about our company
290. 9:28so this is very similar to why this
291. 9:29company and it'd be the same thing if
292. 9:31you had those five or six fast facts
293. 9:34it'll be unlikely that you get this
294. 9:35question twice but you might get it the
295. 9:37same over two interviews and again just
296. 9:39having those lists of facts and thinking
297. 9:42about why this is compelling and
298. 9:44meaningful to you
299. 9:46question number eight tell us about a
300. 9:47time that you showed good leadership
301. 9:49enterprise particularly for graduates is
302. 9:51going to be looking for leaders they're
303. 9:52going to be looking for managers they're
304. 9:54going to be looking for people who are
305. 9:56going to be able to
306. 9:59drive towards targets hire people fire
307. 10:02them
308. 10:03manage a team and a lot of times
309. 10:04particularly for graduates you may be
310. 10:06managing somebody who's twice your age
311. 10:08and that can often be quite a
312. 10:09challenging thing for young people
313. 10:11because they feel inexperienced and
314. 10:13capable and a lot of time what makes a
315. 10:15good leader is really just organization
316. 10:18um why are leaders good leaders because
317. 10:20they kind of know where we're going when
318. 10:21you think about the captain of a ship or
319. 10:24um the pilot on a plane why do we have
320. 10:26confidence in them because i don't know
321. 10:28where we're going like i can't fly a
322. 10:30plane to turkey um i'm just i'm assuming
323. 10:34that you know what you're doing because
324. 10:35you're flying the plane and that's what
325. 10:37give us that level of confidence a lot
326. 10:39of times in my experience of leadership
327. 10:42and also fostering leadership you give
328. 10:44people that sense of autonomy and
329. 10:45responsibility and some structure that
330. 10:48they can work to and sometimes that
331. 10:49involves additional work that involves
332. 10:52you being able to kind of um put the
333. 10:55extra time in so it might be you come in
334. 10:57a bit earlier you leave a little bit
335. 10:59later but you're able to turn up at work
336. 11:01or whatever you're doing the next day
337. 11:03and actually you're the most organized
338. 11:04person there and that helps you to
339. 11:06really be able to lead others because
340. 11:08often people want to be led people want
341. 11:11someone say like oh you go here you go
342. 11:13there you do this you do that and
343. 11:14they're like okay that sounds cool guys
