Three Big moments:
One of my big moments that comes to mind was my sophomore year of high school and I had hurt myself. I knew that I was in a position where I could sit myself and not risk an injury. That would also hurt the best interest of the team. I chose the latter and made the decision to keep going for the sake of the team. Granted I did not know how bad the injury was but, I chose to do what was best for the team. I was later told by my coach that my resiliency was what helped contribute to a winning effort.
The second big moment comes from my second job at Jersey Mikes, where there was a woman who was trying to purchase her food using a gift card. The card was not working and was stating that it was my 14 year old coworkers fault. Seeing this I asked for another one of my coworkers to cover my station so I could help both my coworker and the customer. I calmly walked over and addressed the situation, I then tried some methods such as wiping the card on your shirt, and blowing on it. Both worked and I was able to help resolve the solution. The customer even apologized to both of us and I replied with “no worries, these things happen, have a nice day.”
The final thing that comes to mind was my lifelong battle with mathematics. I have always had trouble with the class and always tried really hard but saw little improvement. I persevered and continued to study and work extremely hard and received recognition in front of the entire school in my Freshman year of High school. I received the Most Improved Academic Award for my class. That recognition from the faculty at school spearheaded the continuance of my hard work and received an A in every math class I’ve taken since.
3 Questions from employers
What are some of your greatest achievements in your professional, personal, or academic life? Describe these in detail please.
Why are you no longer employed with your previous place of business? Did you part amicably? If not, what caused that to occur?
How would a former employer, coach, teacher, or mentor describe you and your character? Would those people say that you’re a professional?
Some of the things that I question about the sample job script are specifically in the titles. I would change major and minor duties to major and minor responsibilities. The jobscript is laid out well and is clear and legible, and it is easy for an applicant to find out what is necessary for this position.In the overall job description portion of this page I would refrain from it sounding like a bulleted list in paragraph form. For example: “You will have to .. etc,” followed by “you will have to…. Etc”. I also like the addition of the preferred and required “Key competencies”

As an observer of the interview process I noticed it started off slow at first but picked up as the interview went on. What wasvisible these interviews was the comfortability of the interviewers and interviewees in this moc setting and with the observers. Something that I would do more differently in the future is peoject my voice more when being interviewed and take better notes when youre on the observing side of these interviews. Having to make things up on the fly is something that I noticed that the interviewers had to do so that is something that I am going to use. Also the feedback that ws given to those first 2 interviewing groups of the ” including the next steps, and taking diligent notes whilst being able to answer questions”

During this round of interviews i noticed a lot more comfortability and fulidity. It definitely felt more like an actual interview. It was seemingly like an actual structured conversation. I did noticed the slight mental fatigue then gets put on people after doing an interview back to back. I felt like all participators involved were prepared, and well rehearsed on their questions. I also liked the improvizations that had to happen when the interviewe asked someting that wasnt something that we had to like salary or insurance. I think that shows that we were invested in our situation and took things seriously. Overall, I do think that this was a helpful simulation for when I am on both sides of the corporate spectrum. This prepared me and openedmy eyes to a lot of things.
