MY STATEMENT AND MY ANSWERS TO ANTICIPATED QUESTIONS FULL NAME: JEREMY NIGEL EVERARD SHAUGHNESSY

ADDRESS: A-4, 1ST FLOOR, I.C.E. COLONY, 41A SASSOON ROAD, PUNE, INDIA 411001 PHONE NUMBER,WHATSAPP: ( +91 ) 976**-*****.

EMAIL: admqax@r.postjobfree.com

POSITIONS DESIRED: VARIOUS, INCLUDING:–(LEGAL / LAWYER’S ASSISTANT/ SECRETARY/ RECEPTIONIST/ SUPERVISOR/ WAITER/ ROOM SERVICE ) YEARS OF EXPERIENCE: SECRETARY & STENOGRAPHER – MORE THAN 32 YEARS LEGAL SECRETARY – MORE THAN 20 YEARS

INCLUDING COMPUTER & INTERNET SKILLS, AND OTHERS

MY STRATEGY FOR THE FIRST 30 DAYS OF RESUMPTION OF DUTIES: In the first 30 days, I would first check the layout in the vicinity of my workplace. I would meet and discuss with my superiors and peers and get familiar with the work culture and the work environment. I would also try to find out what is expected from me by the rest of my team and how I could upgrade my skills for performing the specific rôle given to me.

HOW I WOULD IMPROVE ON THE COMPANY SERVICE DELIVERY: I would first analyse my job responsibilities given to me. I would suggest any possible improvements to the management relating to the content, work environment, support, schedule, planning and execution of my work, in order to achieve the highest possible effectiveness and efficiency in my work. ONE GOOD ACHIEVEMENT I HAVE HAD ON MY JOB:

In my present job, on two occasions, my boss was in a dilemma as to what strategy he should adopt while drafting a plaint in a lawsuit for a client. I suggested a workable strategy, which he immediately accepted and implemented. The strategy was successful and the client won the lawsuit. MY IDEA OF AN IDEAL COMPANY:

I think an ideal company would be one in which an employee’s knowledge, skills, experience, talent and abilities are optimally utilised, not only for enhancing the sales and profit margins of the company, but also for the employee’s own growth and development. The company should recognise and reward good performance of its employees by giving incentives and promotions where deserved. It should have a pleasant, challenging and disciplined work- environment. It should provide excellent learning opportunities. MY STRENGTHS:

I am a hard worker and a quick learner. I have high mental alertness, good analytical skills, active listening skills, legal acumen and proficiency in English, progress in French.

MY WEAKNESSES:

Although I have some personal weaknesses, there are none that will in any way affect the performance of my work.

HOW SOON I CAN JOIN IF APPOINTED:

I have a ten-year Canadian travel visa till 2027. But one month’s advance intimation to my present employer is necessary. Also, booking of flights may have to be well in advance. So, if I am appointed while I am in India, I would certainly need at least one month’s time, but probably more because of the other factors. HOW LONG I CAN COMMIT TO WORK WITH THE COMPANY:

There are many factors involved. If there are penalties for leaving the job before the recommended number of months, then it would defeat the very purpose of relocating. But I assure that my intention is to continue in the company till I am asked to retire. Essentially, as long as there is a stimulating work environment in the company, opportunities to learn and develop important work-related skills and fair and just rewards for the work I do, my commitment to work with the company is assured.

WHY I SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THE DESIRED POSITIONS: I have more than 32 years’ experience as a stenographer-secretary, more than twenty years as a legal steno-typist, more than ten years as a trainer, proof- reader in an English academy, and more than two years as a customer-care operator in voice-based B.P.O.’s (call-centres).

I have some knowledge of French since my school days, and I am at present learning standard French in a language institute, and I intend to complete all the levels, either in India where I am now, or in Canada if I am selected before that, to reach full French fluency as a francophone.

I have good drafting skills and sufficient legal knowledge, as I have been doing a lot of dictation and typing work for lawyers. I have an excellent command of both written and spoken English. I have excellent computer and internet skills. Also, my shorthand and typing speeds are very high: more than 120 w.p.m., 85 w.p.m. respectively.

I have a ten-years’ multiple-entry Canadian visitor’s visa valid till the year 2027. I have relatives (including my brother-in-law and his family), who are Canadian citizens staying in Ontario province.

I am also doing my graduation, and will also take up some courses including forensic science, in the near future, and also some courses as required / suggested by you to fulfil your requirements for better prospects. DO I WORK WELL AS TEAM LEADER, IN A GROUP OR AS AN INDIVIDUAL? I work best as an individual, but I am quite good even when I work in a group. WHETHER I HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF ANY CRIMINAL OFFENCE? No.
