- About yourself?
Radio
communications engineering graduated from the Mongolian University of science
and technology graduate communication technology. I like to explore
alternative solutions to problems and have an open mind about what will work
best. My creativity has made me an effective team leader because I can
anticipate problems and innovate solutions. I enjoy solving problems,
troubleshooting issues, and coming up with solutions in a timely manner. I thrive
in team settings, and I think my ability to effectively communicate with others
is what drives my ability to solve a variety of problems.
- What are your
strengths?
Highly skilled
teamwork. Given the tasks can be completed in a timely manner. I always
find other advantage because upgrated and tense argument in learning new
things, something to himself. One of my best strengths is my attention to
detail. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to meet deadlines. As part of
a work placement I was working with a customer who had my team on a strict
deadline. For reasons beyond my control, there was some confusion in the
delivery of crucial documents, which didn’t get to our office until late on the
afternoon before the deadline. Rather than go home, I volunteered to stay late
and finish everything, ensuring that the deadline was met, and that the work
was of a very good standard.
- What are your
weaknesses?
I like
to make sure that my work is perfect, so I tend to perhaps spend a little too
much time checking it. However, I've come to a good balance by setting up a
system to ensure everything is done correctly the first time. At the beginning of my career I found
I was overwhelmed with the level of work expected of me, but I have since
attended a number of time-management seminars and feel that this is no longer
an issue. While I’m sure there are weaknesses in my skill set, I can’t think of
any that are relevant to this role, which is why I am so excited about the
prospect of working here
- Why should we hire
you?
Because I'm the best
person for the job. I think that my experience in the (widget) industry and my
ability to work autonomously make me a good match for this position. I think that my experience in the industry and my ability to work autonomously
make me a good match for this position. I have the savvy, experience, and
superior communication ability to be an asset to your company. Your company
provides many services that I have had experience with, in a variety of
capacities. I believe that my familiarity with the industry would make me a good
fit for this position.
- What did you like
least about your last job?
My last job provided
good opportunities, but I’m looking to increase my leadership skills, work
closer with a team, learn new skills, build a career. I was in charge of
research study of new innovation in university and companies in Canada and to
do some statistics of these innovations. This job was so fun but the thing that
I dislike is that there are no more challenges in this company. There are no
opportunity to grow in this company.
- Why are you leaving
your present job?
I was really excited to
start in a role that worked so closely with local wildlife and contributed to
such a meaningful cause. I think, because of that, I neglected to learn more
about the actual ins and outs of the company. I've decided that is not the
direction I want to go in my career and my current employer has no
opportunities in the direction I'd like to head. After several years in my last
position, I'm looking for an company where I can contribute and grow in a
team-oriented environment.
- How would you describe your work style?
My work style is
extremely flexible – working on so many different projects requires me to be
adaptive. In general, I try to work on one project at a time, working as
quickly but efficiently as possible to achieve the highest results. I am a
perfectionist and a driven worker, and I think my clear communication skills
allow me to bring out the best in any team, in any project. All of my projects
require collaboration, so I use the team environment to check for errors. I am
a perfectionist and a driven worker, and I think my clear communication skills
allow me to bring out the best in any team, in any project.
- How would be your
ideal working environment?
My ideal work
environment is one that is centered around working as a team and that allows everyone’s
talents to flourish. When I was researching your company, your desire to
cultivate each of your employees’ skills was very impressive to me. I flourish
in an environment that allows me to grow my position and gives me learning
opportunities. Work environments where trust and team work are keys to success.
I really enjoy working with teams and feel mutual trust and respect is a
necessary component to any job.
- What salary are you
seeking?
I’m looking for a
challenging job that will give me the opportunity to work on interesting
projects – The salary is only part of what I’m looking for.However, if the
interviewer persists and asks you a second time, you may need to give them a
rough idea, but again, without pricing yourself out of the market. Try
something along the lines of.
- What are you
looking for in terms of career development?
My primary focus is on
continuing to develop my leadership skills, and I believe the best way to do
that is to constantly challenge myself. I’ve always strived to take on greater
responsibility with each of the companies I’ve worked for previously. I think
my vision goes toward the big picture and I want to exploit that talent to the
best of my ability.
- What's the most
important thing you learned in school?
I had to balance the
social demands of the class with the real world realties of effective time
management and producing quality academic work. The most important thing I
learned was to accept and respond to feedback. The critique I received from
peers and professors greatly enhanced my growth. It was challenging to present
my work to others and hear their opinions about it, but I quickly realized that
whether their comments were positive or highlighted needed improvements, the
intent was to help me become more capable and effective. These experiences also
taught me to critique others using language that focuses on quality and shared
goals, avoiding comments that could be interpreted as personal or overly
critical.
- Why did you choose
your major?
My major exposed me to
many related aspects of healthy diet choices. After I graduated, I took a
college nutrition course. This allowed me to target areas that were not touched
on in my University courses. I chose
to be an engineer because I thought it would be a lot of fun! Engineering is
the field that solves the most impactful of our problems in the world, like
creating clean energy or detecting cancer. As engineers, we are constantly
changing the world with inventions and solutions that affect everyone's lives.
We get to dream up all the coolest gadgets, then we get to go into the lab and
actually make them. Engineers are like
the wizards of our society. Being an engineer is fun because I get to use magic
to create things every day. One day, I'll make something that can help change
the world, and that's why I wanted to become an engineer.
- Tell me about your
proudest achievement?
My proudest accomplishment would have to be when I helped
develop a new technique at my last job. We had been working the same way for
ten years. One day, I was watching one of my coworkers use the old technique
and realized that there was a much more efficient way to get the job done. With
the help of my supervisor and a couple other coworkers we came up with a new
technique. It was such a rush to come to work and see people getting trained to
do something that I helped develop.
14.What kind of personality do you work best with and why?
I work well with many
different personality types. As a retail professional I have encountered
various types of workers, and I find that as long as everyone has a clear
understanding of the goal and work together to accomplish it, we are all able
to thrive and accomplish the task at hand. As someone who thoroughly enjoys
working as a team, I have become accustomed to working with all sorts of
personalities. I love meeting new people and sharpening my people-skills as I
learn to collaborate with and lead those around me. I believe that
strengthening the unity of the office as a whole has a positive effect on both
the people employed there and on the overall success of the company.
- How do you want to
improve yourself in the next year?
At the moment, I’m
learning to speak English in order to make it easier to communicate with a
larger number of people. I’m also focused on developing my technical skills so
I can pursue an interest in programming in the future, particularly since a lot
of the knowledge I pick up will benefit me professionally as well.
- What kind of goals
would you have in mind if you got this job?
If I were to get this
job, I would want to streamline the customer service, buff up the marketing and
continue advancing the database. Customer service is one of the most important
things we do, and I would want to make that process easier. In the near term, I
would like to develop myself to become the best possible, learning as much as I
can about the role and about how I can best serve the needs of the department
and the company. In the longer-term, I would like to become a subject matter
expert in an area of greatest need within my role. I would like to develop to
the point that I become that go-to person whom others rely upon for the most
current information. And eventually I would like to become a lead and mentor to
help others developing in their respective roles.
- What techniques and
tools do you use to keep yourself organized?
I make great use of
reminders on my personal planner. I will probably enter anywhere from three to
five, or even as many as ten, in a single work day. Keeping my desk clutter
free help keeps my mind clutter free. I am also keen on ensuring all planned
tasks are recorded in at least two mediums. Usually on the computer's calendar
and by hand in my work diary. Through my experience I have found that filing
papers as soon as they become available to me, instead of letting them build in
my in tray, is a much more efficient way to stay organized.
- Was there a person
in your career who really made a difference?
The person who made the
biggest difference in my career was my coworker Tuya. She and I started at the
same time. We were both so green and inexperienced. She helped to push me to
better myself and showed me the importance of continued education even in the
workplace. I was excited about this field before I started working, I wanted to
give my best. If I hadn’t have started out with Tuya, I don’t know where I
would be now. She really helped me set goals and then go through and achieve
them. We didn’t work together that long, but even in a short time he really
made a difference.
- Who has impacted
you most in your career and how?
If I had to choose
someone that impacted my career, it would have to be my first manager. I was
fresh out of university, eager to learn. I was lucky, my first manager was an
amazing leader. She directly taught me about the industry, aiding in my
learning process. She had twenty-two years experience at the time, I really
respected her. I learned so much
indirectly. She was the perfect example of how you can effectively run a team.
I picked up on her leadership skills. Everyone within our team respected her
because she respected everyone in return. Once my career developed, I started
at a new company. Due to the knowledge she provided, I successfully became a
management team leader. Although I am highly driven and passionate, the skills
she taught me had a large impact on my career. I have received various awards,
and now help teams develop into strong, co-operative units.
20. Have you ever been on a team where someone was not
pulling their own weight? How did you handle it?
During a recent project,
one co-worker regularly failed to complete his assigned tasks by the necessary
deadlines. I explained to him privately that this resulted in other people on
the team picking up his work, in addition to their own, which felt unfair. I
asked if there was a reason for this issue and he explained that he couldn’t
keep up with the deadlines because his knowledge of the relevant software
wasn’t strong. We arranged for training and additional support so that he could
work more efficiently.
- What attracted you
to this company?
I have been watching
this company for a long time. I read this article a year ago about how you are
innovating the way people use appliances, and that really caught my eye. I
think that innovation and creativity are an important part of success. I would
be so excited to be a part of that innovation here. Not only the innovativeness
of the company attract me, but also the way they treat their employees. I have
a friend who works here, and she just raves about how well she is treated and
how the company feels like a family. I would love to work somewhere where I can
be that close with my coworkers.
- What was the last
project you headed up, and what was its outcome?
My last project was to
pull together a working group to analyze find ways to streamline our supply
options at the small laptop computer company I worked at. I worked with the
production artists and accounting people to find the best fair trade solutions
for the volume we were purchasing. We ended up with both the best choice for
our situation at the time and a plan to scale our supply chain as our sales
increased, giving us a little more out of the research than we originally
planned on.
- What are three
positive things your last boss would say about you?
At my last job, I had a
strong reputation as the knowledgeable employee. I had the book memorized and
people would almost use me as an encyclopedia. I also never had any trouble
meeting time restraints. I was never late or missed a deadline. Of course, I
think my boss would also bring up that I was great with the customers as well.
- List five words
that describe your character?
The five words that I
feel best describe me are resilient, ambitious, optimistic, determined and
humble. I was the first person in my family to go to college, and along with
their support, these personality traits really helped me get through school and
appreciate the opportunities I’ve been given. I feel that they would help me
succeed in this job as well.
- Why do you want
this job?
I want this job because it emphasizes sales
and marketing, two of my greatest skill sets. I see this company not only as a
positive work environment, but also as a good opportunity to have my skills and
qualifications make a difference. This position challenges me to keep up with
the cutting edge of technologies. I know I could bring my ten years of sales
and marketing experience to this company, and help you continue your years of
growth.
