At my previous company, I was working on to recruit a contractor and we shortlisted

an experienced person for the job. We were recruiting for a US based company and my
team arranged the meeting of the candidate with the company on different dates. So
when the candidate reached the site there was no representative present there and
he was obviously furious about what happened. I was the point of contact for the
contractor so I got the call from him. He had many things to say about the blunder
that was made and he questioned mine and my teams capabilities. I realized that we
were in the wrong here and I calmly apologized for the mistake made. I told him I
was sorry and took accountability for the blunder. The call must have lasted over
an hour and the whole team including our boss stopped work and were listening in on
our conversation. After this incident I suggested that we make a new pipeline for
the appointments arranged that is accessible by all members and also to assign one
of us to check the data weekly and update accordingly. The system was simple and
was implemented soon after and we never got any angry calls, at least for a similar
reason.

I would say that a good company culture should be:


1. Inclusive
2. Productive and goal oriented
3. Appreciative
4. Promotes learning and growth

I consider resourcefulness, adaptability, creativity and innovation as my core


strengths. I keep trying to learn new things and applying them in my life. I have
managed working while I was in college and also volunteering on the side. I always
try to find the most efficient solution to a problem and I am not afraid to
question conventional methods to find a better way to do things.

In 5 years I see myself in a leadership position supporting a finance function of


the company. I am thoroughly interested in the subject of finance so I am hoping by
that time I will have earned myself an advanced degree or qualification in the
field.

My most advanced degree is a Bachelor's in Business Administration (BBA).


The degree focused on the core functions of the business that were marketing, HR,
and finance.
