Subject:Pre-interview worksheet for careerexploration

Time management/ Organizational skills: Give an example of how you make sure you meet your objectives in a timely manner. Describe in following points.

a. context

b. action

c. result

Solution

a) Context: First explain the surrounding context for which you were required to act upon.

example:When I started at Toy Stores Ltd in 2003, our selling strategy was too reliant on retail store income and we were losing out to online vendors. Current employees were very resistant to change as it was the way they had done things for a long time.

b) Action: Describe your actions to remedy the problem or to create new opportunities

example:To see how we could proceed, I surveyed all employees and conducted market research. With the research clearly demonstrating we needed an online sales point, I suggested we move forward while addressing all the employees concerns. I built a new team with current employees and new technical staff and we created an online store.

c)Result: What was the outcome of your actions / how did the organization benefit?

example:The online store saw an increase of overall sales by 300% in the first 2 years, bringing Toy Stores Ltd. back to profitability and ensuring the business was prepared for the future. All employees welcomed the results with great personal satisfaction because they were involved in the process from the start.
