Prepare yourself for jobs
I’m Tom and I belong to California. I’ve completed my Master of Financial Engineering Program from the University of California. I am energetic & a great communicator. My previous experience in the same position helped me build confidence and develop advanced skills for this position. I am trustworthy and punctual, and I can always be depended on to finish what I start. I also consider myself hardworking, reliable, dependable, helpful, outgoing, organized, honest and cooperative.
I am actively searching for a job and have seen your job circular online and found it suitable for me. After reviewing the application, I realized that it is completely compatible with my career planning, and I felt fit for this position, so I applied here.

I have the capacity to judge a situation from different aspects and can complete my task even when faced with difficulties. Also, I feel that my communication skills are top-notch.

To be honest, my current job has taught me so many things. But I’ve found that this opportunity at your company is a better fit for where I want to take my career – specifically, collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop innovative products for your users.

Rather than reacting to stress, I attempt to respond to a situation. That way, I will deal with the problem without being too anxious. When I am dealing with a displeased client, for example, I concentrate on the work at hand instead of focusing on how anxious I am. During these times, I feel that my ability to communicate effectively with consumers aids in reducing my own stress. I believe it also relieves any stress that the consumer may be experiencing.
If you are an experienced professional, you should tell your expectation directly by adding 20% to 35% to your current salary. But if you are a fresher then you should go with their company policy. But, it is better to get an idea about their compensation package before going for the viva. You can learn about their compensation policy from the internet or anyone inside the company if you know him or her personally.

I am committed to working hard and taking on more challenges in future.
I respect collaboration and communication. Therefore, I want to work in an environment where everyone is accountable and works well together. Also, I would love to work for a company like yours that makes time-saving and life-enriching products/services for society. Furthermore, I have always tried to be an optimistic person who believes in motivating people around him so that everyone will give their best every day. So, I dream of being a team leader someday, under which a whole team of responsible workers to deliver big projects maintain high-quality standards within the stipulated time duration.

I prefer taking on new challenges and am looking forward to situations where I may take on greater responsibility. In the end, I’d like to work my way up into management, focusing on strategy and development, and eventually into a long-term role where I can create a strong career. Ultimately, I’d like to build and manage larger teams and continue advancing as a leader.
I have extremely strong communication skills. I’ve worked as a counselor for five years in several industries. I’ve had to learn how to find the perfect balance between that creativity and analytics.

If you are asked to say something about the company, you should highlight their product/service line, work culture, business process, reputation, legacy etc.
My long-term goal for the next five years is to master my job and progress to a management position within my department.

Over the following five years, I envision myself working on new and exciting initiatives at your firm, preparing me for a managerial position.
