1. Why do you want to work with us?
Ipsos MORI is a well prestigious organization having brilliant corporate reputation and
stake in business sectors across the globe. Being an organization present in 89 nations,
organization is presumed to be one of the biggest review organizations present on the planet.
This organization to a great extent stresses upon the significance of HR both as far as staff just as
corporate customers and business partners (Thompson and Gregory,2012). Organization grows
due to their policies and procedures in organisational premises which endless supply of
employees. Likewise, organisations will in general make a solid and powerful condition for staff
with the goal that they can work gainfully in a way that encourages coordination to arrive at
accomplishment in an effective manner. This reflects that organisations moves in the direction of
fulfilling the inward HR so that can successfully oversee and fulfil the outside partners and
customers of organization. I am likewise searching for an organization where I can investigate
my field of enthusiasm by utilizing abilities and skills. I am profoundly perceptive and have solid
systematic abilities which are required for doing any examination which is the prime undertaking
of Ipsos MORI. The organization advance the climate where people can unreserved work in a
5

group situation and build up a feeling of attachment among themselves. I have worked in groups
in past and consistently exceeded expectations in the undertaking appointed to us on the whole.
Consequently, I feel that this organization thoroughly coordinates with my social properties and
abilities and the prerequisites of substance supplements my thoughts and convictions. Working
in an organization which is of my disposition will help me in working in a way that will take
venture higher than ever in future (Al Ariss, Cascio and Paauwe, 2014).
2. Tell us about the time when you worked in a group to achieve an objective (what did you
do and what was the outcome)?
At the time when I was in school, than it was the first instance when I worked in a team
or group of students in order to achieve an objective. It was because of out class teacher who
provided all of use an assignment which was needed to be completed in groups and the teacher
also divided the whole class into groups and gave us the deadline to which the work was needed
to be completed and submitted before teacher. So, this was the first moment when I came across
this situation of working in team (Savickas and Porfeli, 2012). Earlier it seemed to be very
difficult for me to complete the assigned work in the given period of time and I also was not
having any experiences regarding working in team. So this was the first experience and I want
that the outcomes of this work should be the best. The complete work was divided in several
parts as one of them was finding the data for the project, another was collecting and choosing the
best material out of them, another one was doing checking the completed work and also rectified
it wherever required and lastly, which I was doing preparation of PowerPoint Presentation with
the help of which the presentation was to be provided in front of the class. So the outcome of the
efforts which were made by all of us prove to be fruitful as the results which were expected were
achieved. This was only possible with the help of proper coordination and cooperation in
between different team members for the effective accomplishment of their tasks and activities.
This was my first ever experiences while working in a group for the proper accomplishment of
the project which was provided by our teacher to me.
3. Tell us about a time when you identified a new approach to solve a problem. (what did
you do and what was the outcome?)
At the point when I was attempted an entry level position at National Skills Society for a
time period of a half year, I was once given an assignment to gather and consolidate the after-
effects of a study led of 500 people who gave their supposition about "effect of globalization on
6

advertising capacity of organization". This information was to be introduced by me to a
gathering of people from non technical background. I was given seven days to complete this
task. I realized that if the information was displayed in specialized wording, it would not be
effectively seen by gathering. Hence, I intended to lead a good report about the review and note
the outcomes in a sorted out way. This helped me in changing over the specialized information
into possible language that could be effectively translated by any individual. Further, I chose to
make a Power Point Presentation in order to show information composed by me in an organized
way for the gathering of working people (Brewster, Mayrhofer and Farndale, 2012). To
effectively execute this, I utilized pie-diagrams, visual charts and histograms so information
could be effectively broke down by them absent a lot of information about topic. On conclusive
day of introduction, the non specialized working gathering was intrigued by me. They praised me
for actualizing the troublesome assignment effectively and wished me karma for my future roads.
4. 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?)
During my school times, I was given a project which was needed to be completed on
global organization of UK and its working examples. Additionally, I was given the task to do a
few upgrades in the project that I was given in last semester. It was difficult for me to do the
priority of tasks as I had my semester tests in one week from now so I needed to read for that
moreover. However all these 3 tasks were difficult and should have been done on an earlier
premise. In this way, I chose to find out time required for all the three tasks and afterwards
choose their superiority while getting things done (Parker and Crona, 2012). After making
calculation for the different tasks, I concluded that I will initially finish the old tasks in which I
simply needed to make certain changes in order to meet prerequisites of school resources. Next
on request list chose by me was the new task allocated to me as of late and in end, I chose to read
for my tests. Thus, by organizing every one of the undertakings, I effectively figured out how to
finish each assignment inside set time allotment.
5. 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?)
While I was in BCD college, as a part of my college assignment, I need to work with 4
students in a group & demonstrate “the impact of non governmental entity on the welfare of the
7

society”. When this topic was provided to us, my team members think that executing the data
and information on a specific subject matter in the sort of written report will develop positive
outcome. According to this, it has been said that previous batch within the college applied this
approach and get maximum result (Youtie and et. al., 2013). But on the other hand, I have
contrasting view on this, as I think presenting data and information in the form of visual art
might be attractive and new. It includes information presented through charts, bars, tools and
techniques. Along with this, I have planned to make 1 minute demo that how these task will be
executed. By presenting my views and thoughts through PPT, I will be able to convince large
number of individuals and I was successful in persuading this.
Interview Practise
When I was in college, my whole batch has asked to attend a seminar where large
number of professionals come from different backgrounds in order to share there thoughts and
experiences they face at the time of interview. The representative from different famous
educational institution & professions gave conference wherein they brushed upon some points
specified below:-
 It is needed by students to guarantee that they have all the essential documents while
going for interview which is related with educational background as well as of work
experience.
 Gestures & body movements must be impressive as interviewer mainly focuses on the
body language of individuals (Pennington, Delano and Scott, 2014).
 Apart from this, there might not be any kind of nervousness and under confidence while
giving answer to the questions at the time of interview.
Assessment Centre Practise
At the time of my whole tenure at college, when I have attended various seminars on
interview, there must be some specific behaviour which need to be followed. On the other hand,
next day one another seminar was also arranged which includes discussion about assessment
centres. Some of the main points which need to be reflected in the seminar are as follows:
 When I went through an assessment test at the centre, it is essential for me to stay
motivated & confident in order to perform each and every task.
8

 Apart from this, it is required that I have an adaptive & spontaneous approach in order to
perform my task in an effective manner and I start performing all the task as soon as it is
assigned the task to me (Lee and et. al., 2016).
 Moreover, I have to use formal & polite language in order to perform all the conversation
so that I will be able to communicate my views & opinions in an appropriate manner &
leave a positive result.
