[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 22662, member: 2672"] For reference for everyone, here is what my summary would be: [I]I am an experienced graduate recruiter with 15 years experience working across a diverse range of sectors. Three things sum me up. 1) I work hard and efficiently to get results - from holding down 4 part-time jobs during my A-levels, to now balancing 4 different clients with tight deadlines as a freelancer, I have had to learn to manage my time effectively to ensure success. 2) I am a people person: it’s why I naively started my career in HR 15 years ago. Despite being very independent outside of work, I love that my job centres around working with lots of different people, that have different expectations and requirements. That means my work is never the same, despite the processes being similar. 3) I am passionate about diversity. I could bore you to death with stats and research about improving diversity in student recruitment. It’s important for me to be in a role or company where that attitude is matched. I said three key things, but additional random things about me are: I worked as a Chef from the age of 16-19 before uni and still love to cook when I can; my most difficult job was working in a refugee centre in Manchester, and despite the memory of breaking my leg skiing at the age of 3, I’m at my happiest on a sunny day skiing down an empty piste[/I]. With the above I am trying to get the interviewer to focus on three key things I want them to remember, but at the same time I want them to think about my personality, not just what I have achieved/done. I am also purposely giving my interviewer lots of different bits that they can hang on to and ask further questions about should they want to, rather than explaining things in detail so they think they don’t need to ask further questions about them. I’ve also tried to show an “attitude”, a “motivation” and a “want” and focused on the strongest thing in each of these instances, rather than trying to list out everything. The stuff at the end is just to show that I am multi dimensional and have some interesting stories to tell. [/QUOTE]
