If an interview que. raise "if company refuse your application of leave" wht will you do?

Question

I walked for an interview, boss asked me, if company reject your application of leaves, what will you do?

what should be best answer for this question?

Answer 1

I would reply by saying well thats a very good question. Now what can your company do for me to make me want to come and work for you. When do you pay wages, what benefits do you offer, what support systems and strategies do you have in place. I have done this every time now and never missed a job.

Answer 2

You have to, of course, give a positive answer, or otherwise you aren't going to get hired. I have an idea that the purpose of this question is for them to get a feel for how you would react - a lot of people would get angry, maybe start looking for another job, or maybe call in sick on those days. They are probably trying to reassure themselves that you won't be one that would do that.

What I would do is ask them a few questions back - like what sort of leave are you talking about? Vacation? Death in the family? There are lots of reasons for wanting leave. Any company that would refuse an application for leave on account of a family emergency such as death in the family, a family member being gravely ill, etc., is not the type of company that I would want to work for. Remember - interviewing is a two-way street. What I mean is that yes, the interviewer is asking you questions and scoping you out, going over you and your strengths and weaknesses with a fine tooth comb, but at the same time you should be doing the same with him and his company while you are in the interview. You are in a sense, actually checking him out (or should be) at the same time. You can tell a lot about a company's culture, and how they regard their employees by the type of questions they ask. To me, someone asking me the question "What would you do if the company refused your application for leave?" indicates that they have probably had problems with other employees in the past and for whatever reason didn't want to give them time off - maybe they don't have an adequate backup system to allow for covering for people who actually need time off - that would fall under the category of "people management skills" and "scheduling". This company might be somewhat weak in that regard. This type of question sends up a red flag, so if I were you I would proceed carefully and really ask a lot of questions concerning their time off policies.

Answer 3

Two things here. First if you want to go for the leave desperately. If that is the case, I would talk to my boss, I would like him to know that how important it is for me, for my life and for my family. I would like him to know that a company does not hire just a piece of flesh-and-blood structure which has no feelings and no life beyond the office hours. I can be productive for my company only if I am not carrying any burden or stress on the part of my family, I will be able to produce better results for the company only if there is nothing gnawing me from inside. And all this will come only if I am sincere to my responsibilities towards my family as well as my company.

And if after self-introspection I find that my personal matter is less important than my office work and it can deferred for sometime, I would try to convince my family members about it.

Actually its a kind of trade off which we have to do keeping all the aspects of life in consideration.

Answer 4

Your answer could be on the following lines.

I will create an impression that I am not a habitual leave taker and that I always go on leave in case of need. It is a question of myself making them understand that I am responsible enough to know to be done and when to be done.

Even then, there happens to be an occasion when the boss does not understand my difficulty, I will try reason with him and make him understand how important it is for him to leave and how soon you will be able to be back to the job. You will also explain what alternative arrangement is made in your absence.

Answer 5

dear,
I am thinking company is a artificial man. So Company director is everything for company decision so first if will more profitable refuse your application of leave in favoure of company then you should change your thought for leave this time, If will not so Director will not refuse your application for leave because he is so person as you. If you have more important work of personel & company refuse application of leave then you can resignation from compay. More important work means Illness, marriage or others.

Thank you

Answer 6

If the leave was for an important occasion - funeral, sickness of a close relative I would ask why the company rejected my application.

Answer 7

I shall tell--If I can accomodate your refusal I shall accomodate,otherwise I shall avail the leave and will face the
consequences. You cannot beg for a job.

Answer 8

There is nothing you can do after it except making your boss or his boss consider it.
