APPLICATION FORM(maximum 200 words per answer)
1. Why do you want to work for us?
Well, I was looking for such kind platform where I can apply my skills and
knowledge since long time but I didn’t get. When I saw job recruitment in your company
for Account Executive then I got excited. Initially I did deep research about company. I
gathered various information like it is UK’s largest privately owned Marcus Evans LTD –
THG Sportscompany which located in London (marcusevans THG Sports - Corporate

Managing People and Careers Template
Sports Hospitality, 2015).Your organization has aim to grow as an organic carer in
corporate event. Several training programs are conducted by company to help (Morton,
2018) ambitious candidates to learn how to sell and support to increase existing sales
career. Even I got information from employee reviews as well which are written on
company’s website. Previous employees who left job gave good comments and
experience about working environment which made me excited because I always wanted
to work in pressure free and friendly environment. Such kind environment leads
prosperity and high productivity as well (Rottensteiner, M and et.al., 2017). Apart from
this, I searched company’s requirement which should be possessed by candidates working
in the role of Account Executive such as positive attitude which I have already. Another
is candidate should have strong work ethics and motivation for working challenging
condition. I have this virtue because I used to be a sport leader in my collage where I used
to motivate my friends to deal different situations. So, I though your company is best
where I can motivate employees by applying my skills.
2. Tell us about a time you worked in a group to achieve an objective (what did you do
and what was the outcome?)
During graduation, my collage teacher gave us a project in a team. The project was
based on sports game which we had to conduct for primary school children where I was
sports trainer. One week I trained children. While offering training to them I observed
children weren’t excited for sports training. Then I discussed with my friends who were
also involved in mission. Some friends gave suggestion like we should create some
entertained exercise which could enhance their excitement. I made a plan to involve
entertaining activities so that children can feel positive and excited. Me and my friends
divided out responsibilities like one of my friend created funny activities which made
children happy. Other two members maintain balance score card in which they write
which children have ability to capture skills early. On the other hand, I gave training
classes to children in which I made them learn various new sports and analysed those
children as well who were facing difficulties while completing task. On last day of week,
I organized sports competition to measure individual learning capabilities. In addition, I
gave price also to well performing students. Thus, I worked in team and my teacher
praised me and team work as well.

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?)
I went for industrial training with my friends in collage time for seven days. On first
day I and my friends were very excited because it was first time we were visiting an industry.
Manager of the company did warm welcome and introduced himself to us. The manger was
Account executive so I became very influenced by him. The manger gave overall description
of his industry. Even he expressed organization goal like they want to give high quality spot
services to public so that their living standard can be improved. I was attracted from their
goals and commitment of manager towards the company. Thus, 3-4 days passed out normally
where we learned how to communicate with people and employees within industry. On 6th
day me and my friends went in industry. That day manger was absent because he went for
dealing. Their side employees become restless because conflicts occur among them. When I
asked to other employees, they told me due inefficiency in task performance both groups are
blaming to each other. I gave suggestion to conduct skill and development classes to improve
individual performance. Most of the employees were agreed with my suggestion thus I
resolved their problem. When manager got to know then he also praised me for my problem-
solving skill.
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?)
I joined a trade show event to learn how to conduct trade show and how-to mange it.
Initially they gave us training session and each session is classified according to task like
trade show planning is first. Identifying brand and enlist them is second task. The third was
reviewing of overall task. In fist task I learn how to make goal and creates number of
objectives. Team is required to conduct program which required for second task. Thus,
overall task was interlinked to each other. Trainer had given overall knowledge
throughtraining session. I added my skill in my CV and updated in my Job profile. Later on, I
got opportunity a sir called me and said I want to conduct trade show event so we required
an event planner. I didn’t ask time and people I directly said ok. When I reached there I got
to know they will conduct event show within two days. It was quite difficult for me because
there was no expert team who could help me. I completed large number of task like I
organized a team who performed well for second task. Then I enlisted high brand company
and sponsors who can also arrange for funds. I reviews overall plan which I invited press
media for reviewing about trade show. Thus, I did overall preparation and I got outcomes
owner of the company praised my working efficiency.
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?)
I organized a sports seminar in my collage where I invited overall students who were
from different colleges. I invited senior authorities who were in higher position in sports as
Page 7 of 12

well. I requested overall staff of my collage to show their engagement by taking part in
activities and they inspiredchildren to take part in sports activities which would conduct in
seminar. To conduct sports seminar in collage there was a technique to give a platform each
person to show their talent. There were several teachers who disagreed from the decision.
They said it was about to time wasting and distracting activities. When I listened such kind
argument then I said to my principle sir to keep meeting in conference room. Initially I
requested them to keep their point of view about sports seminar. Some senior authorities said
that it just time-consumed procedures. I calmly answered them that to conduct seminar for
sports has a motive. The motive was to improve children’s interaction with other college
students. Sports seminar had various benefits like it led good communication skills among
children’s and they learned new skills from each other (Berninger and et.al., 2017). Collages
atmosphere become more effective. Such kind seminar execution raised good will of collage.
Thus, I told to senior authorities and my opponents, were agreed from my statement as result
I got good outcomes.

INTERVIEW PRACTICE – COPY AND PASTE YOUR REFLECTION NOTES FROM YOUR INTERVIEW
PRACTICE HERE (MAX 200 WORDS IN BULLET POINT FORMAT)
Initially I was quite nervous and hesitant about the interview process as I had no
inclination about the type of questions I was going to ask about. This is why I prepared
immensely for the interview process by revising business and financial models and theories
that could be asked by the interviewers. Retrospectively, I can confidently say that I was
simply too nervous and anxious to give the interview and that I shouldn’thave studied up so
much prior to the interview. This was also evident as most of the questions that I was asked
about by the concerned interviewers were related to my prior work experiences. I was able to
answer most of the questions with relative ease and was pleased to findout that one of the
interviewers happened to know a past colleague of mine from my past job. Altogether I
though the interview was a successful venture as I was able to confidently tell the
interviewers of my skills and talents, my professional and academic achievements and
myfuture career ambitions. On enquiring the interviewers, I was pleasantly surprised to find
that the salary for my job position was negotiable and that the business provided its
employees with insurance and operational rewards.

This practice has been of immense help to me as through it I got to learna lot about how to
create a proper cover letter and CV that details all ofmy personal and professional
achievements and experiences efficientlyand effectively in order to apply to various posts and
job specifications.The practice made me realise how important one’s CV and cover lettercan
be in relaying all relevant past academic and professional informationto the concerned
individuals. I also learned about the interview processbusinesses use in order to select the
deserving candidate amongst all therecruited ones and how I can better prepare me for any
future interviews that I might be a part of (Fuhs, Hornburg and McNeil, 2016). I also got to
know the critical importance one’s personal, professional and academic skills when applying
and being selected for a desired job. Through this exercise I also learned about the
significance of one’s cover letter in introducing one to abusiness organisation and showcasing
one’s interest in the company I now am confident in my resume or CV making skills and look
forward toupdating my own CV with all the relevant tricks and tools that I absorbed while
performing this practice.
