About myself
What is your greatest strength and what is your greatest weakness?
My greatest strength is my versatility and honesty. I am trustworthy and able to handle various responsibilities. On my weakness, I am highly critical of myself, but I try to be positive about my actions. I understand some things are out of my control.
What has been your greatest contribution to a team or organization?
Creating a strong social media presence for my organization.
I worked at a company where social media marketing had not been introduced. Single-handedly conducted research and product testing using my social media accounts. The response was overwhelmingly positive. I proceeded to set up official company pages across all the social and professional sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn. Being the sole administrator, I managed all of them, and after a few months, the profits had tippled. It was directly attributed to my intervention.
What do you bring to a professional environment that other candidates cannot?
I am not sure about what the others can offer. I believe you are looking for top professionals. Based on my versatility and the level of experience and knowledge, I think I have a unique set of practical skills in corporate marketing such as being innovative, which makes me the best for the position.
What factors would you take into consideration when deciding whether or not to take a job overseas?
1. I would consider the cost of living in that country in relation to my salary.

If the cost is too high to allow for savings, I will not consider.

2. The climate and language of the region (Appelt et al., 190). Some regions experience unfavorable climatic conditions that might cause some health implications, and for efficient communication, the language should be easy to learn.
Many companies are opening new stores abroad. If you were in charge, would you use expatriate managers or host-country nationals to staff new facilities? Why?
I would use the host country nationals because it would be less expensive and that they have a better understanding of the culture, political and economic environment. Secondly, the cost factor; bringing in foreign workers is costly, regarding traveling and work permit expenses.
What other things did you like or dislike about this course? I always want to improve it, so feel free to share any kudos or criticisms.
The class teaches me how to handle practical life situations such as job interview preparation which will help me in my professional development. One thing that I don’t like is the class schedule. We have most of the classes in the afternoon which makes it hard to balance with the other co-curriculum activities.
