up all the responsibilities associated with this position. This position needs a huge amount of
writing on daily basis to explain the new inventions taking place or any other technological
advancement that is taking place within the company. I think that I am capable enough to take up

of challenges that might crop up in the job field. Apart from this, I am much willing to take up
any training that might be needed to develop the apt skill and knowledge for this job position. I

I have successfully completed my English course at the University of Western Australia.
I have gained a good command over English and I can easily write any piece of technical writing
in an error-free manner. I think that I can handle the job responsibilities for this position properly
because I have an analytical mindset. I know how to perform an extensive research before I take
up writing about any particular topic. I have also successfully completed the 3-year degree
course in technical studies from the La Trobe University. I have gained sufficient knowledge in
almost all the technical fields. I was also successfully placed at a content writing and company in
Australia. During the interview, I had to demonstrate the skills that I gained in the fields of
technical writing. I had to demonstrate my skills in intensive research writing, analyzing the
market trends in the past year regarding the launch of any new products or inventions in the field
of technology. This has also helped me to gain a good knowledge of the art of teamwork and the
ability to work under pressure.
I have always been very dedicated and committed employee in my past organization. It is
because of my dedication and commitment to learning that I have always been able to achieve
good marks in all my academic levels. I also have a good team working spirit within myself. I
know how to adapt to the changes that might crop up in the workplace. As I was also associated
with many freelancing jobs before this I have gained a good knowledge of independent work. I
have been able to form the accountability within myself. As I have worked as a team leader in
my last company I have also been able to acquire some leadership skills within myself.
Situation-It was in my previous office. There was a very important meeting that was about to be
conducted. All of a sudden we got the news that our boss will not be able to come up for the
meeting. All the employees became very nervous and had no idea how to manage the work.

Many foreign clients were about to come to that meeting. I knew that somehow or the other we
have to get this deal.
Task- I arranged for a video calling session through Skype and brought our boss online I also
contacted our assistant manager who might help us during such problems. I thought that this
would be very benefitting as Boss will help in giving us all the valuable tips that we might need
on the final day. This was very helpful for all of us.
Action- I also motivated all the employees to stay calm and focus on their work. I agreed to do
over time and contact some other fellow colleagues. We gave all the effort and create a very
good presentation and the clients were very happy with us. We got the deal.
Result-My boss was very happy with me and I was awarded the most proactive employee
award. This is one of the important events that happened in my job life. I was also nominated for
the post of promotions. I was the youngest employee to be included in that list. I got a lot of
appreciations from my boss, assistant managers, colleagues and also all other fellow co-workers
as well. I was promoted within a very short time. I was also nominated with the future leadership
award due to my exceptional skill of managing the tough and difficult situation.
