APPLICATION FORM
Why do you want to work for us?
I want to work with this sector business because it is the widest and fast growing sector
and having better and fast growth then others. UNIQLO is the same sector company in which I
have interest and the profile which is vacant in this respective firm is sales manager and it is
suitable for me as per my qualification and also part of my interest because this job role is more
interesting although in this more and more interaction with clients and customers take place
which is of my interest. Managing people and group is the favourite work which I like to do
because currently in the administration I am working same practices are doing by me for
achieving day to day targets and also for gaining more revenue. Main work of manager is to
manage a particular department for which they are hired.
Tell us about a time you worked in a group to achieve an objective (what did you do and
what was the outcome?)

work of manager in team is managing team and leading other people working in the same
business. Department of sales requires to work in team or group so they can easily serve their
customer as well target market because compare to individual person group of people can
manage as well complete task in proper manner. For example when particular department of
sales conduct several events which is related to promotional and advertising activity for this
individual person cannot perform entire program in proper manner so for that same department
manger have to create one or two group and can be according to requirement so entire work can
be done in appropriate manner like giving information to customers, taking feedback, solving
problems and queries of consumers and many more. So for this there is requirement of numbers
of staff because no individual person can do work in proper manner. Outcome of this is they can
easily satisfy customers as well solves their various problems through which they are going on.
Grouping help in achieving objective in simple manner and it divide work so that no
single person go through with the burden of work and if task are divided in small parts then it
have more chance to achieve it in appropriate way.
Tell us about a time when you identified a new approach to solve a problem. (what did you
do and what was the outcome?)
Business environment is full of risk and problems as well also dynamic in nature. In
organisation it is work of manager to solve that issues that may be arises because of internal and
external factors. There are seven steps that assist in effective problem solving are given below:- Identify the problem: clearly examine the issues and consult every individual regarding
that because it may be possible every individual can have their different point of view for
looking things. Understand interest of everyone: every individual interest regarding the problem may be
different so for that it is necessary to understand single person interest to figure out
problem in appropriate manner.
 List the possible solutions: there are several solution of single issue this step assist in
finding best from many so that their will be no problem in future related to same thing.
 Evaluate options: from various solutions it must be evaluated that this is working or not
and giving its outcomes (Warin,2011).
 Select an option or options: whatever the options are selected for resolving that is
finalised in this step and implemented in company for better outcomes.

 Document the agreements: whatever the problem are facing by company and their
solution should be documented because no one have that much memory to remember the
entire agreement manager have to do entire agreement in paper form.
 Agree on contingencies, monitoring and evaluation: now its time to monitor and
control the entire process for its effective working.
Tell us about a time when you had to manage a number of different priorities and complete
a number of tasks in a short amount of time (what did you do and what was the outcome?)
Transferable skills are those which can be teach and given to other peoples also working
in same place. Sharing knowledge is good for working of enterprise so other also can work in
proper manner that is good for manager as well as also for firm. There are many transferable
skills like planning and organising time, meeting deadline, decision making, work can be done in
fast moving situations and flexible to approaches (Addams and Allfred, 2013).
Planning and organising time is necessary because this is important thing and play vital
role in day to day activity. Because work should be done on time for fulfilling demand of
customers and satisfying them. Instead of this projects comes with their deadlines these must be
meet by the employee working on it on date submission of thing is important.
Doing work in fast moving environment and situation is not possible and also in flexible
workings. So manager of respective company have to give such skills to other personnel also so
they can achieve targets.
Tell us about a project you worked on that required you to persuade others to your point of
view (what did you do and what was the outcome?)
Recruitment and selection is the process which should be done in proper manner so right
person should be placed at right place. Their are many problems that can be faced by company
while doing this procedure. So they hire a agency that help them in doing this entire process. So
it persuade to others that they have to do the same procedure in proper manner for filling
vacancy in proper way as per the requirement of that position (Ng, Lyons and Schweitzer,2012).
There are many problem that arises in this process are finding suitable candidate,
advertisement process and whether to do internal recruitment or external many more issues are
their. For smoothness of this they have to take help of agency so it will be done in correct
manner.

INTERVIEW PRACTICE
Point from my view which impressed me by the interviewer are given below:-
 Knowledge- The person who is taking interview having best knowledge about the
vacancy for which they are hiring and also some general knowledges which can easily
influence and attract the candidate sitting in the front (Inkson and King, 2011). The
person having general cognition about the things shows confident on their face.
 Polite in taking sense- corporate level employees should have taking sense must
required thing in this is politeness because without this it looks like that the person who is
sitting in front don't have manner as well way of taking but the interviewer of UNIQLO
is good in nature, polite in taking way this motivate me to become like this and bring
some changes in myself way of taking as well presenting own.
 Professional in looks- interviewer is looking really like an corporate level person
because of their taking, walking and dressing sense (Hooley and Watts, 2011). Normals
make people more attractive and gives different image as well also help in differentiating
from other. This is the first impression and as per the slogan first impression is the last
impression.
 Gives positive vibes- when an individual person having way of taking, politeness and
many other quality in them that will gives positive vibes to other person sitting with them
or can be near to them.
ASSESSMENT CENTRE PRACTICE
Seminar is the best way of rendering information and knowledge to the people related to
anything (Thompson and Gregory, 2012). The person who is sitting in the audience can gain
knowledge easily some points are stated below which motivate me to attend entire seminar:-
 language is understandable- the person who is giving seminar and rending knowledge
to the people sitting in the front using language or way of expression is understandable by
everyone from different culture and countries.
 Enhance skills and knowledge- seminar assist in enhancing skills and knowledge of the
people who are sitting and attending the same with continue attention (Gemici and
Bednarz,2014).

 Motivate employees- Seminars assists to provide an openness to individuals as they can
learn new ways of doing things. it improves their skills and knowledge in a specific time
period so as to grab better future opportunities (Hotho and Champion,2011). By attending
seminars people get interact with each other which increases their communication skills.
REFECTION
After going through the above report it is decided that before going to the interview in
advance I have to firstly send Curriculum Vitae with attached cover letter. Instead of this all the
questions should be known by me that why I am applying for this job, what I will give company
for its future growth and development. Sometimes situations is created by interviewer which
must be answer that how I will work on it and take effective measures.
Preparation should be done before the interview regarding the profile I am applying
should be properly examine and understand by me. The way In which I will talk should be polite
and humble because first impression is the last impression. Dressing sense should be professional
and the appearance also should gives impact on interviewer that they are talking to someone
professional. When some seminars is organised by company should be understandable by
everyone that kind of language must used by them. Because this is the best way of enhancing
skills and knowledge. Every employee want some motivation because this help them in doing
work proper manner as well in achieving task which is assigned to them. I recommend that their
should be proper training to employees after their joining so their will be better chance to achieve
goal and objective of organisation.
