I am currently Job Searching and was called in for an interview. For the first time ever, I had to conduct a Presentation on myself. The Slide Show was based on the following questions which were posed by the company the day before: 1. A short 'Snap Shot' of who you are 2. The Top 3 Key achievements in your career 3. Give an example of your implementation if you were given to start a new fire and safety Training Company? Why do you believe it will be successful? 4. If you were hired, what would be your short / medium / long term goals with Securitas Training company 5. What added benefits would you bring to the organization - Why should we choose you? This is the result which I would like to share with you. Footnote: Please note that in SlideShare (the link in which this presentation is held), the comprehensive notes which go with each numbered slide can be found by clicking the NOTES TAB in the Right Hand Corner.

- The Top 3 Key achievements in your career? Recruited, Managed and Developed a team of 130 surveyors covering 19 sub-projects at the Al Raha Beach Development which included mentoring 19 Chief Surveyors to develop their teams. Including Project Managing a US$27 Million contract for Site Wide Land Surveying Services including programming of the work in line with tight construction schedules whilst ensuring that the project came in safely, within budget and on schedule. ____________ Saved substantial recruitment costs via the identification of manpower / skills shortfalls and the subsequent design and management of internal technical courses for selected personnel to be developed and promoted to Junior Land Surveyors. ____________________________ Establishment and accreditation of the first Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors - Approved Development Scheme in the UAE affording reduction of recruitment costs and elevated staff productivity via employee empowerment, retention and CPD.

- Give an example of your implementation if you were given to start a new fire and safety Training Company? Why do you believe it will be successful? Aware of Civil Defence Fire Training Program At the Moment, I am not entirely sure of what has been compiled already: For Example Market Research that has been conducted for this venture - Competitors, Potential Clients, Catchment Area, Rates Business Plan Budget Expected GP% What's the Proposed Business Structure (If any has been completed already) Socially networked - 2000 plus to listen to my new job title - new business all potential clients Fearless marketing New opportunity - give me time to bed in - drive and determination THOSE WHO FAIL TO PLAN – PLAN TO FAIL
- If you were hired, what would be your short / medium / long term goals with Securitas Training company? Short Term Learn the Securitas Business Establishment / how they operate procedures compare with our competitors procedures / identify potential improvements Development of the Fire Safety Department - Order Book / Expand the customer base / Increase GP% / Excellent H&S Records / Install my work ethic into the staff that work for me / Continuous evaluation OF COURSE – AT THE SAME TIME TRANSFORM FROM A WORKING KNOWLEDGE TO A TEACHING KNOWLEDGE OF FIRE TRAINING Medium Term Implement improvements / Implement KPI's for all staff including myself / Identify . Improve the training Research and enter other markets (Oil and Gas Compliance Training?) Long Term Maintain a percentage of improvement / monitor KPI's / Generate more business
