TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF

Thank you so much for inviting me to be interviewed for this position today. I applied for this position because I believe
my experience, qualifications, and skills have a strong match those listed in the job description.

I started my work as assistant admin staff 11 years ago, in one of the real estate company here in Davao City, a high-end
subdivision located in Shrine Hills Matina Davao City. From assistant admin staff I was promoted in the position of
Secretary. Over the years, I have built up lots of skills and qualities that, I believe will be of benefit to your company. I am
strong team worker and I understand that in order to achieve difficult task and projects, you have to work with other
people, and you have to bring your skills and experiences. I am also good at working under pressure and I actually prefer
to be in situations where the pressure is on, because I believe this is where I am at my best. Im also good at building up
relationships with clients and customers, and I feel this will benefit your company. I am the type of person who will work
hard, I will never let you down and I will always acts as a positive role model for your clients. If you hire me in this
position, you will quickly see a positive return in your investment.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST WEAKNESS?:

I have always been quite independent at work and I enjoy being quick on the job. So it has been difficult for me to ask
for help when I needed it, I felt it would be seen as something negative So I kept quiet and could commit easily
avoidable mistakes. Now I have learned it is a huge benefit for me and the company to reach out when I don not
understand something. Or when I am overloaded with work. I know realize that there are many expert around me which
have that specific knowledge or skills that can improve the quality of my work with one simple advice. I am still working
on it , but I have been able to produce more high quality work as a result of raising a hand and asking for help when
necessary.

In my previous position, I would automatically pass judgment on people if they were either late with a project or if the
quality of their work was unsatisfactory. However, I have been working to improve in this area, and I no longer make
judgements about other people's performance. Instead, I try to offer my assistance or support so they can advance,
which ultimately helps the team.

My greatest weakness is that I have trouble in saying “no”. it happens to me in my personal life but it has now more
visible consequences professionally. I end up working on some random task and request from my co workers, which in
the past lead me to stress or burn out. To help myself improve in this area, I have now created a calendar blocking at the
time and scheduling task as they come. This helps me to priorities and make it easier for everyone to see how much
workload I have on, when Im free and gives me back up to say “no” to certain extra task

WHAT ARE YOUR MOST SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF THE WORKPLACE?:

My greatest achievement was working in my last role where I was able to help the company to win the approval of the
titles from various government agency and at the same time manage the complaints of a client where they harass me
for not completing the processing of their title on time but I was able to act accordingly and professionally. I work very
hard that time even week ends I made several follow ups in order for the task to be finish on time and to avoid another
complaint from other lot owner. Affter 3 month of processing we finally finished the tasked.

WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THE COMPANY/POSITION? WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK FOR US?:

I want to work here because having carried out lots of research , you have a great track record of achievement. Being
successful in my work is important to me mand my ambitions are a strong match for your company’s. I also want to work
in an environment that is positive, progressive and productive and I believe I will get that working from your company
