1. Tell me about you

My name is Laura Figueroa Mendoza, I am 26 years old, I was born in Corozal, Sucre but I have
been living in Medellín for almost 6 years now.

I take my work seriously and I am always looking to improve my skills so I can work to the
highest standards possible. I am Committed, self motivated, hard-workingl and adaptable.

2. Why do you want this job?

One of the goals I have set for myself is to improve my data management and analytical skills. I
am excited

3. Why should we hire you

H I believe I can perform the role I also have very good organizational skills and always plan my
weeks’ work in advance to make sure I complete all the deadlines and tasks.

4. Strengths and weaknesses

5. What are the mist important spots about quality
6. Goals in 5 years

I guess the short answer is that I want to become good at my job, be accepted by my team and
enjoy my work as much as possible, I plan to stay with the company long term and my personal
goals are aligned with a stable job that allows me a life balance as igt has provided. Also, if the
opportunity presents itself for me to progress within the organization, that would be amazing.

7. A situation where you excel

8. A situation that causes you frustration
9. Biggest achievement
10. What are you grateful for
11. Team or alone

I enjoy a blend of the two. I like having a team to strategize with, get
diverse opinions from, and reach out to for feedback. But I am also
comfortable taking on assignments that require me to work
independently. I find I do some of my best work when I can focus alone in
a quiet space, but I really value collaborating with my teammates to come
up with the best ideas.
I realize stressful situation are always going to come up, and I definitely
have had to learn how to navigate them throughout my career. I think I
get better at it with every new experience. While working on a new
product launch at my last company, for example, things were not going
according to plan with my team. Instead of pointing fingers, my first
reaction was to take a step back and figure out some strategies around
how we could we solve the problem at hand. Previously, I may have
defaulted to panicking in that situation, so being calm and collected was
definitely a step forward and helped me approach the situation with more
clarity.
GAP YEAR
“During my last year of high school, I didn’t feel ready to choose my
educational path, so I took a wilderness course for a few months to sort
out my life goals. It may seem a little random, but the time I spent
actually helped my develop so many new skills — in the areas of
leadership, communication, (etc…). During that time, I realized that I
wanted to earn a degree in (state your degree) to align with my passion
(say what that is).
Tell Me About a Time You Made a Mistake.
“Early in my career, I missed a deadline that ended up costing us a really
big account. There were a lot of factors that contributed to this, but
ultimately, I was the one who dropped the ball. From that experience, I
went back and thought really hard about what I could’ve controlled and
what I would’ve changed. It turns out that I was not nearly as organized as
I thought I was. I sat down with my boss, asked for suggestions on how to
improve my organizational skills, and a few months later I was able to
score an even bigger account for the department.
How Do You Deal With Pressure or Stressful Situations?
“I stay motivated by thinking about the end result. I’ve found that even in
the midst of a challenging situation, reminding myself of my goals helps me
take a step back and stay positive.”

Failure

To me, failure is about not meeting expectations—others’ as

well as my own.
How Would Your Boss or Coworkers Describe You?
I don’t want to speak for anyone else, but I’m pretty
confident my colleagues would describe me as thoughtful—
I’m the one in the office who remembers everyone’s birthdays
—and hard-working, since I can always be relied on to get a
big project over the finish line. My boss in particular would
say I’m very knowledgeable about audience development—
it’s why I kept taking on more and more responsibilities in
that domain.
