Company Ratings Evidence
Amazon.com - 8/10 This is an excellent company with a solid worldwide reputation.
The job offer is very challenging and the job growth is excellent.
Yet no financial benefits have been implied, thus work may not
be incentivised.
Bank of England - 9/10 This is the most reputable company. Government experience will
also be gained in such a company. The pay is the best, while the
benefits that are being offered make the job a very attractive
prospect.
Jefferies and Company -
8/10
This role suits all my needs; the prospect for growth is excellent.
This job is also very geographically viable and I will be able to
work and thrive at such a place.
Veolia - 5/10 This company is not very reputed, their requirements are
challenging and they are the furthest from my place of
occupation. Work hours many not be flexible and this job may
put a great toll on me.
Marriot International – As this was a backup job for me, I did not have much interest in

Brief introduction to your self I am a business analyst with practical experience
in the industry. I am very hard working and
possess an extensive portfolio of inter personal
skills which have allowed me to collaborated and
work effectively with team members. I believe in
the strength of positivity and organisation that has
been my guiding philosophy in my professional
and personal life.
Reason for the work experience Maslow’s hierarchy of needs states that there are
several needs that must be fulfilled for an
individual to gain satisfaction (Lester, 2013). My
reasons for work have always been as my self-
actualisation needs. The work that I have done in
the business analysis industry has provided me
with an understanding of how I can learn and
grow.
Future plan I aim to climb the corporate ladder and take up a
role, which is challenging and fulfilling. I aim to
continue work in this industry while expanding
my portfolio of skills and becoming an asset for
any company in which I work.
