There are some questions your interviewer has no business asking, and this is one.  But while you may feel like answering, "none of your business, "  naturally you can't. Some interviewers ask this question on the chance you admit to something, but if not, at least they'll see how you think on your  feet. 

Some unprepared candidates, flustered by this question,  unburden themselves of guilt from their personal life or career, perhaps expressing regrets regarding a parent, spouse, child  etc. All such answers can be disastrous.

BEST ANSWER:  As with faults and weaknesses,  never confess a regret.  But don't seem as if you're stonewalling either.

Best strategy:  Say you harbor no regrets, then add a principle or habit you practice regularly for healthy human relations.

Example:  Pause for reflection, as if the question never occurred to you.   Then say, "You know, I really can't think of anything."  (Pause again, then add): "I would add that as a general management principle, I've found that the best way to avoid regrets is to avoid causing them in the first place.  I practice one habit that helps me a great deal in this regard.  At the end of each day, I mentally review the day's events and conversations to take a second look at the people and developments I'm involved with and do a doublecheck of what they're likely to be feeling.  Sometimes I'll see things that do need more follow-up, whether a pat on the back, or maybe a five minute chat in someone's office to make sure we're clear on things.whatever."

Yes, I once adopted a friend during the time she lost her parents, until she was able to re-adjust and take care of herself. It was a feeling of self-fulfillment.

(I had made it through a series of interviews for a position in New York City that paid about $60,000 per year. After interviewing with the manager and owner of the company, I had a gut feeling that they expected employees to work 14-hour days plus weekends. How could I ask a question about work hours without appearing lazy or like a clock-watcher? So at the end of my third interview, I asked the manager that question. Her face turned a bit sullen as she said, "Well, I had fun at the company business party we had on our business trip to Canada." From that one question, I learned that if I accepted the position, I'd be signing my life away to this company.)

so with me, firing is a last resort. But when its got to be done, its got to be done, and the faster and cleaner, the better. A poor employee can wreak terrible damage in undermining the morale of an entire team of good people. When there's no other way, i've found its better for all concerned to act decisively in getting rid of offenders who won't change their ways.

Set a challenging but attainable goal for them.Reward them for reaching the goal. Share the company vision with them. This way, they see they play an important part on the goal  and they  are needed.

If an organisation has to have third-party logistics providers then the organisation should not overlook the aspects stated below.

  • Loss of Control -This is the single biggest disadvantage. Where there may be a certain comfort level to servicing your customer when logistics is in-house, that feeling is gone when you outsource to a third-party.
  • Higher Exit Barriers -It is very difficult to reverse the decision to outsource once your organization has signed up with a third-party provider. Contracts are usually 2-5 years in length with penalty clauses for early termination.
  • Unexpected Fees -Unless explicitly stated in the contract, extra usage fees may apply. This is dependent on the type of contract that is used, open-book or closed book. In open book, all costs are visible to both parties and a management fee is applied for the 3PL service. In closed-book a cost per piece is charged, so as the volume handled increases, the cost increases.
