1. What was your biggest success in the last 12 months?

During my internship at PT. Multi Manao Indonesia, a furniture manufacturer

and exporter, I worked as a PPIC (Production Planning and Inventory Control)
staff under the guidance of the PPIC Manager.

Task:
I have two tasks given by my manager such as:
1. Inventory Auditor Role: I audited 2 containers each of sungkai and pine
wood, tracking their journey from arrival to readiness for production.
2. Operational Auditor Role: I audited the production processes for four
types of furniture across 25 containers, from cutting wood to loading the
containers.

Action:

As an auditor, I have several key steps in the auditing process in the following:
1. Preparations: I studied process flowcharts and furniture components to
understand raw material flows and production processes thoroughly.
2. Gathering Information: I documented wood pallet quantities and
created workflow diagrams and process maps.
3. Data Cleaning and Validation: I reviewed data for errors, inconsistencies,
and missing information to ensure data accuracy.
4. Data Analysis: I analysed data to spot inventory and production
management issues.
5. Review of Documentation: I checked purchase orders and production
reports for data accuracy.
6. Root Cause Analysis (RCA): I used RCA methods like the "5 Whys,
5W+1H, Fishbone Diagram" to investigate and address the data
anomalies.
7. Final Presentation: I presented my findings to the general manager and
PPIC manager.

Result
My efforts led to:
 Improved inventory tracking and reduced production delays.
 Enhanced data accuracy and informed decision-making.
 A positive impression on General Managers and PPIC Managers.

This experience has solidified my passion for project administration and my

dedication to driving operational excellence. I am excited to leverage these skills
and experiences in a new challenge, further contributing to the success of your
organization as a Project Administrator.

2. How do I describe myself?

 When asked to describe myself, I would say that I am a highly analytical
professional with a keen eye for detail. I take a structured and systematic
 approach to tasks, breaking down complex challenges into manageable
steps for efficient problem-solving.
 My strong analytical thinking and critical mindset allow me to derive
meaningful insights from data and information. I make data-driven
decisions, relying on empirical evidence and thorough analysis.
 My proficiency in problem-solving, along with my meticulous work
habits, ensures that I produce accurate and reliable results.
 I communicate effectively, presenting complex findings clearly to both
colleagues and management. When faced with obstacles, I am
resourceful and persistent in finding creative solutions.
 I adapt easily to changing situations and incorporate new data to
enhance my decision-making.
 My primary focus is on achieving concrete, measurable results. While I
excel as an individual contributor, I also thrive in a team environment,
where I contribute my analytical skills to foster effective collaboration
and achieve shared goals.
 These qualities make me a valuable asset in roles that demand precision,
analysis, and innovative solutions, such as those related to data analysis,
quality control, project management, research, and process
improvement.
3. How do I organize your working day?
I start my day by reviewing my to-do list and prioritizing tasks. I allocate specific
time blocks for various responsibilities, such as project status updates, document
management, and team meetings. I utilize project management software to
track progress and maintain a well-organized digital workspace. This approach
helps me stay on top of multiple tasks and deadlines.
4. If you could live for six months with no commitments, what would I do?
I would use this time to deepen my knowledge and skills relevant to project
administration. Perhaps I would pursue additional project management
certifications or take courses in emerging software tools that can enhance my
efficiency. It's essential to stay current and continuously improve in this field.
5. Why are you leaving your current job?
I'm seeking new opportunities for professional growth and development. While I
have learned a lot in my current role, I believe your organization aligns more
closely with my long-term career goals, and I'm excited about the potential to
contribute my skills and experience to your team.
6. What is your biggest weakness & strength?
Strength: One of my most significant strengths, as demonstrated in my
internship at PT. Multi Manao Indonesia, is my unwavering attention to detail. I
have a natural inclination to scrutinize data, processes, and documentation
meticulously. This strength enabled me to excel in tasks such as inventory and
operational auditing. It ensures that I maintain a high level of accuracy and
reliability in my work, which is invaluable in roles where precision is key, such as
 Project Administration. Detail orientation is also crucial for detecting
discrepancies, ensuring quality, and identifying opportunities for improvement.

Strength: I excel in detail orientation, as evident in my internship at PT. Multi

Manao Indonesia. This skill enhances accuracy and reliability, making me
valuable in precision-focused roles like Project Administration. It's crucial for
quality control and process improvement.

Weakness: On the other hand, I would consider my strong critical mindset as

both a strength and a potential weakness. While my critical thinking and pursuit
of perfection have been instrumental in problem-solving and ensuring data
accuracy, it can sometimes lead to overcritical self-assessment. This self-imposed
pressure might affect my confidence or create unnecessary stress. To address
this, I'm actively working on finding a balance between striving for excellence
and recognizing that perfection isn't always the goal. I believe that this self-
awareness and ongoing effort to moderate my critical mindset will help me
continue to grow as a Project Administrator.
My biggest weakness is that I tend to be overly self-critical at times. I have a
strong desire for perfection, which can lead to spending too much time on a
single task. However, I've been working on this by setting realistic expectations
and seeking feedback from colleagues to maintain a balance between quality
and efficiency.
