Question Tell me about yourselfAnswer We begin by introducing .pdfannaistrvlr
Question: Tell me about yourself:
Answer : We begin by introducing ourselves and then goes to qualifications ,achievements and
our qualities , positives and negatives.Thus I would start as ,\" My name is Alisha Singh I am
simple honest and hard working girl I live in joint family my father is businessman I have
completed all my basic and elementary education with goods grades and performance . I am also
having work experience of 2.5 years . My work is always appreciated by my colleagues and my
seniors . I do my work with full faith and confidence I make sure that is no error in my
performance .Just like any human being i also have my strengths and weakness. I am very
conversant with any person I meet I am very fond of teaching since childhood, i have done
volunteering work of teaching students in NGOs wherein I have been loved by the kids.\"
1.Utilize your notes! Have a copy of your CV to hand, print the job specification, have the
company website open on your laptop, bring up the interviewer’s LinkedIn profile, etc. There is
no excuse for being under prepared!
2. Make notes throughout the interview, and use this information to ask questions at the end. If
you progress to the next stage, use this information to help you prepare.
3. You can be more flexible with times – participate from home / work / abroad, etc. However,
don’t commit to a telephone interview if you are likely to be rushed or interrupted.
4.No cost of travel. Screening for basic requirement is done more easily.
Cons of telephone interviews
1. It is more difficult to build rapport over the phone. It makes a big difference to how you
sound.
2. Telephone interviews are often shorter, so you have less time to sell yourself. Be concise as
you have a lot of ground to cover. A common starter for telephone interviews is “tell me your
‘story’ in 5 minutes” – stick to the time allocated, and make sure you’ve rehearsed this. If you
can’t articulate your experience in 5 minutes then you need to get practicing! This is one of the
most common reasons why candidates don’t get past a phone screen .
Face to Face Interview :
1. It is much easier to build rapport in person, so get your personality across!
2. It is also much easier to read how the interview is going – look at their body language, do they
look interested? Do they ask additional probing questions?
3. You can see the environment that you would be working in which gives you a good sense as to
whether this is the right opportunity for you.
Cons :
1. Beware of interviewer bias. First impressions count for a lot – be early (leave ample time to
account for traffic, train delays, etc.), be presentable (dress for the environment) and on behalf of
interviewers everywhere. PLEASE don’t have a limp handshake.
2.Cost of travel – trains are expensive, but remember that this could be your future job, so it’s
worth it, right? If you are attending too many and it’s getting too expensive,
3. You can’t refer to as many notes during a face-to-face in.

Journal for Internship Course 3
Introduction
Keeping a professional journal is a key component in professional work life. Journal is essential. Especially it plays a critical role in enabling an individual to review and reflect on the previous activities. The professional journal helps in keeping the records and clearly outlining the activities done on a day today. Furthermore, the professional journal helps maintain the sense of self and solidify an identity. Professional journals have information that is considered to be practical about the field of work.
Writing the journal with gratitude is essential for self-recovery. The target of the work is to describe the professional portfolio. The discussions include what I learned during my professional internship, experiences, observations, key concepts, and the business course experience.

What I have learned
Having been working at Yamibuy, I learned teamwork skills. During my one and half years working there immediately after my graduation, it was a learning experience. As the Account Manager here, I learned many diverse skills in management. The management skills learned there were critical towards the effective running of the Marketplace department. Having been assigned the role of maintaining a good rapport relationship with the sellers, I learned how to build essential professional relationships. I also developed marketing skills to work in Yamibuy; this was essential for me in helping the sellers achieve better performance in terms of sales in our platform.
Having experience in terms of professional skills during my work at Yamibuy, I got a new opportunity to work at "Sunway Nuts USA Inc.." My reason for shifting to this company is to further my career, gain more professional experience, and establish a good ground for personal growth. Currently, working in Sunway Nuts Inc. has further made me learn a lot. Some of the things I have learned here include; leadership skills. I have grown as a leader working in Sunway Nuts USA Inc. The leadership skills have learned from my responsibility of leading a team on sales of our products. I have learned skills in e-commerce marketing skills.

Learning Objectives
This was my third semester at Westcliff University, and I explored a wide range of
helpful strategies and practical techniques that benefited my overall career and life balance.
For instance, the habit of professional journaling helps me release my stress and motivate
myself to keep on track towards my goal.
From week 3, I started to prepare the professional portfolio, and I felt it was an
excellent way to keep a record of my achievements and experiences. From week 5, the
interview exercise taken with the senior manager from my department, I have learned about
her personal experiences and know a little more about strategic leadership. Another valuable
material that I learned from this class is always to be prepared. Before I interview the senior
manager, I prepare additional questions to ask my supervisor and colleagues about my
performance. I was nervous during the interview, but these extra questions helped me come
down and make the conversion more smooth.
At the beginning of this semester, my goal was to improve my communication skills
in the workplace and learn how to be more flexible in dealing with incidents. From week six
course’s video, “I Wanna Be a Human Resources Officer - A Day in the Life of a Human
Resources Officer,” made me see some perspectives of the responsibility of a Human
Resources Officer and provided me some direction to improve my interpersonal skills. I
always find ways to improve my confidence when I communicate with people and learn how
to be an active listener.
Week seven’s video about “Internship Expectations vs. Realities- the Intern Queen”
makes me think about expectations and realities at the workplace. What expectation does the
employer look for, and how should I improve my performance regarding their expectation?
3
Additionally, through this semester, I realized different ways of conveying a message
could have other effects and impact communication effectiveness. During the internship, I
utilized the benefits of a supportive and positive environment.
Taking everything into account, I believe that I made significant progress towards my
goals, and I became more efficient and productive at work.
Internship Experiences
This semester I am considering switching to a new company that will allow me to
practice my professional skills in the area of individual and corporate taxes. Therefore, I
started my journey to submit job applications and prepare for an interview. Finding an
appropriate position that matches my interests and abilities is not an easy task. I felt frustrated
for the first few weeks when I did not get many responses. However, I record all my feelings
and things that I need to work on in my resume and cover letter in my journal. Additionally, I
love to write some inspirational and motivationa ...

Retired, California State University, Fullerton, Mihaylo College of Business and Economics, Associate Dean for Administration
1. Tell us a little about yourself. (An overview of you professionally.)
As an undergraduate senior in 1981 I accepted the opportunity to participate in the Small Business Institute and worked to develop the convention and visitors bureau in our community, I stayed with this organization for 6 years advancing to Associate Director. Using the nonprofit, organizational skills developed through working to market and organize state, regional, and national events, I secured a management position with the University Hospital Consortium (UHC), now known as the University Healthcare Consortium, an international association of medical teaching institutions. It was with the UHC that I worked with the likes of Stanford and Georgetown to develop an internet network specifically for teaching institutions; we called it “Comnet.” The year was 1986. As a point of reference, we were still typing memos at Cal State Fullerton in 1997.
From the UHC I went back to school and earned my MBA. This was a family-centered decision. My husband and I had two children in 2 years (I do not recommend this) and I needed to work part-time so I completed my degree and went on to teach business courses at state universities and community colleges a few nights a week. I taught Business Communication and Personal Finance. These courses were available to me because of my extensive project experience and proven ability to communicate and budget time and other resources.
Once our children started high school I started teaching Business Communication full-time at Cal State—Fullerton, and I was asked to co-chair the department’s assessment of learning initiatives. It was through this work that I caught the eye of the business school dean. Assurance of learning (aka—assessment) was becoming a major element in the maintenance of accreditation process (Cal State—Fullerton has held AACSB International* accreditation since the 1960s) and college-level leadership was needed to develop a program that pulled together the efforts of faculty across six departments. We were also in the schematic phase of a 4 year, 190,000 square foot building project and a college representative was needed to see it through to a timely (and on-budget) completion. So even though I did not have a Ph.D. in my field, I had the experience needed to be named Associate Dean for Administration. I held this position for 5 years and celebrated with fellow faculty and administrators as we earned best-practice marks for our assessment program by AACSB during our maintenance of accreditation visit and opened Stephen G. Mihaylo Hall on time and within budget.

To whom this may concern:
Re: Reference letter for Emily Marciniak
I had the pleasure of working for Emily for nearly a year at Johnson Controls. She came in as an intern
and quickly made herself a value add to the organization. Her ability to learn a variety of tasks and
execute them well is definitely a strength of hers. Her ability to work well with all levels of leadership as
well as her colleagues also made her transition into her internship role very easy. Emily worked in three
key areas, marketing and communication, reporting and documentation.
Marketing and communication - In that space, Emily was tasked with learning Microsoft SharePoint and
ensuring that our department’s SharePoint site was updated and accurate from a visual as well as an
informational perspective.
Reporting – Emily had the responsibility of creating and sending out key reports on a scheduled cadence.
These reports were important as they communicated the project health our organization. Emily was
able to quickly learn and execute this in a timely and concise manner.
Documentation - In all that Emily did, she was also tasked to document how she did what she did. So
she created documentation on her tasks as well as any activities that may have been a help for the
project managers. Her ability to document in an organized was very helpful as others in our
department did have to leverage the documentation that she created.
I was honored to work with Emily and watch her grow from learning to teaching in all of the above areas
cited and many more not cited, but even more than that, she was a pleasure to work with and would
work with her again if given the opportunity.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
