Get to Know You – The Carvers Way
1. Are you more of a “make a plan” person, or a “figure it out as I go” person? (Neither is wrong – we just want to know how your brain works.)
2. When your day isn’t going to plan, what helps you reset? (A walk, a coffee, a rant to a colleague, a fresh to-do list?)
3. Office survival essentials: what can’t you function without? (Coffee? Snacks? Music? Headphones? Colour-coded lists?)
4. If multitasking were an Olympic sport, where would you place? (Gold medal, solid mid-table, or tripping over the baton?)
5. How would your last team describe you? (Feel free to be honest – we value self-awareness more than perfection.)
6. On a scale of 1 to “I thrive on controlled chaos”, how do you feel about fast-paced, varied days? (And what helps you stay on top of things?)
Culture & How You Work With Others
7. What does being a “good teammate” mean to you in practice? (What does great team behaviour actually look like to you?)
8. What kind of workplace brings out your best work? (High energy? Calm and structured? Supportive? Fast-moving?)
9. What tends to frustrate you most at work? (Poor communication, negativity, disorganisation, lack of ownership, something else?)
10. When something goes wrong, what’s your natural instinct? (Fix it quietly, flag it early, ask for help, learn from it, or something else?)
A Little More You
11. What motivates you most at work? (Making people happy, hitting targets, solving problems, learning new things, being part of a great team – or a mix?)
12. What’s one thing about you that wouldn’t normally appear on a CV? (This is often our favourite answer.)
