Tell me about yourself.

When I�m not working, I like to spend time playing volleyball. I always enjoy
talking with who I meet inside the court. I feel that communication is one of the
most important aspects of my professional life as well. When talking with people,
being able to guide the conversation in a particular direction is one of the ways
I�ve been successful in different situations at the office.

What is your greates strength?


I pride myself on my customer service skills and my ability to resolve potentially
difficult situations. With five years' experience as a SPES GRANTEE of the
Provincial Government of Davao del Norte, I have learned to understand and resolve
client issues effectively. On a related note, I also have strong communication
skills, which help me to work well with clients, team members, and executives. I am
known for being an effective team member with a talent for giving presentations.

What is your greatest Weakness?


I have a very strong attention to detail. Sometimes, this can turn into a tendency
to perfectionism. In the past, I found this leading me to triple-check every item
on a spreadsheet, closely proofread emails to ensure I�d communicated what I was
trying to get across in a clear, concise way, or fiddle with the layout of a
presentation to ensure that it was perfect. I�ve since learned to successfully
budget my time and gauge which tasks require and actually benefit from this level
of precision.

What is your most chalenging aspect in this job?


One of my big challenges will be adjusting to the new workflow and creating a
new type of report to present to clients. My plan would be to ask a lot of
questions when preparing my first report. I'll also ask a colleague to review the
report before sharing it with the client.

What can we expect from you in the first 60 days on the job?
'll reach out to all the colleagues in my department and intersecting
departments to learn as much as possible about the roles that everyone plays within
the operation. I will devour all the information you've provided on policies and
procedures, and during the evening, I'll continue reading everything I can find
about the company and industry to get an accurate fix on the state of the firm
within the marketplace.

Describe a difficult work situation and how you overcame it.


Decisions I have to make within a team are difficult, only because these
decisions take more time and require deliberate communication between team members.
For example, I was working on a team project, and my colleagues and I had to make a
number of choices about how to use our limited budget. Because these decisions
involved group conversations, our team learned how to communicate effectively with
one another, and I believe we ultimately made the best decisions for the team.

Why are you the best person for the job?


I am a self-motivated person who is willing to go above and beyond on any
project, and to learn valuable skills on my own time.

How do you manage stress?


I'm very sensitive to the nuances of group dynamics. If there�s an unhealthy
amount of stress within the team, I can pick up on some of that stress too. So,
what I do is to try to proactively listen to the concerns of the people around me,
checking in frequently to see whether they, themselves, are under stress. If they
are, I think about how I can help them with their workload so the collective stress
of the team doesn�t escalate. When the team�s happy, I�m happy.
