In this task, I will be analysing my contribution to the selection process in
a given situation.
Firstly, I will be analysing the comments which I received from the
interviewer for my interview. In terms of strengths comes the fact that I
was calm, confident in myself and also maintained constant eye contact
with the interviewer. This benefitted me as when I was asked questions,
even though it demanded a lot of thoughts, I managed to do so effectively
by stating and backing up my points.
Moreover, from previous research, I had a strong knowledge of the skills
set required of sales personnel and thus I was able to reply to questions
with appropriate answers, demonstrating that I indeed have an interest in
the job position. However, next time, I would like to provide more in-
depth and detailed responses. For instance, instead of simply saying that
I’ve got the required skills and listing them, I could also quote real
examples when I have actually used such skills to strengthen my points
and impress interviewers.
On the other hand, I was also given the areas for development. In this
section, it is stated that I could research about other laws such as the
Consumer Protection Act or Trade Descriptions Act as they are more
directly related to the sales role. As a result, next time, before my
interview, I will go through a more thorough process of research to find
out not only about the job position and company, but also about the skills
required for the role and other legal aspects related to the job. If I have
researched and comprehensively prepared for the interview, I will be more
relaxed on the actual day and I might provide better and more impressive
answers and this will probably give me an advantage over other
candidates, thus increasing my chances of being successful.
In any forthcoming interview, I will also try to dress more appropriately as
interviewers also judge candidates upon their appearance. Although my
clothes were reasonably formal, I only received 4/5 points. Therefore,
next time, I will make an effort to obtain better feedbacks in terms of
appearance.
Overall, I have taken note that next time I need to research more about
the company that I am approaching. I also have to find out about the
skills and laws associated with different job roles as this will help me to
provide more in-depth answers during the interview and thus increase my
chances of being selected. In addition to this, given that the interviewers
judge candidates on how they look, act and sound, I will also work on
improving my tone by speaking louder and clearer. This will show that I
am a confident person, and in certain cases give an insight to interviewers
a given situation.
