Why do you want to work for us?

because of 3 specific reasons.
1. 3m has an exciting plan which is making lives better, easier and more complete and I want to be part of it.
2. 3M has a strong reputation not only in healthcare, manufacturing, electronics, but also
in shared service industry and that is very appealing to me.
3. I feel that my skills, qualities and attributes will be put to good use in 3M.

What are your strengths:

My ability to take on and complete multiple tasks whilst under pressure.
My ability to put the customer first because I understand how important customer service
is to the success of Intercompany.

What is your weakness

I have been criticized before by my team leader for my inability to say no to people. I'm usually
the first person to volunteer to do additional task and i sometimes get overloaded with work.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
- I expect that I will be competent to the role and well respected by my colleagues, supervisors and peers.
- I would also be willing to help train other people in similar roles I had due to the length of time I've been in the position and the experience that I would have
gained in 5 years.
why do you want to leave your job?
- I am now ready to a new challenge where I can put my skills and qualities in good use on a whole new different level.
- It sad and a hard decision to leave a good company like Merck but I do not regret it because I will be leaving the company in good terms with my managers,
colleagues, peers and with full of fond memories of the great things we achieved during my stay.

When do you delivered excellent customer service?

This happened during a year end closing wherein all subledger accounts are already closed
and one of stakeholders contacted me to change tax codes of Polish entities because it was
wrong. The case was not really simple because it involved 7 high valued invoices that were`
reported 0 tax while it should be @ 23% tax.

Upon knowing of the situation, I immediately emailed my supervisor to request for the
reopening of the subledger account with a timeline that I can finish the corrections
within an hour. I then immediately prepared the new invoices, and correction entries
and immediately had a call with my counterpart to post the credit notes even without
the payments for us to have same records on our books.

Once the was issue resolved, my stakeholder thank me and send a commendation to my
direct manager and line manager and got awarded for operational excellence.

What would do if you didn't get on with someone in your team?

- I need to humble down and be the better person and tackle the situation to resolve
any conflicts quickly.
- In case, that it will not be sorted out quickly, I would always act professional and will do
all my best to sort it out for the sake of the team.

How do you handle pressure?

I understand that pressure is all part of our everyday working life and I perform
really well whilst under pressure.
For me, the best way to work under pressure is to:
1. Prioritize which tasks are the most important
2. Create a list of priorities and by what time or date they to be completed by.
3. I will work solidly and put in the extra hours if needed to get the task done within
the set timeframe.
There are times that you have not met a deadline?

Why should we hire you?

I have read the job description in detail and I strongly believe I have the necessary skills,
qualities, and attributes to carry out the job to a very high standard. If you hire me, I
will work hard to fit into the team so I can start contributing positively in a very quick
timescale.

When have you worked as part of a team?

STAR TECHNIQUE
On my current role, I work on a process improvement where 5 of us were asked to come up on a process innovation. Early on we struggled to find a focus. I
suggested that we fully utilized our ticketing
tool called Finance4you for us to properly monitor all our task done for the day and we can have
a proper report on the volume of our request coming from outlook and Finance4you.

I led a discussion about the pros and cons of that topic and encouraged team members who are hesitant
to join in. Two of the group members didn't initially embrace my idea.

However, I was able to get a consensus after incorporating their suggestions that we focus on items
that are transactional instead of asking stakeholders to use Finance4you for all Intercompany related
request. We got the project implemented and ended up working hard as a group, received positive
feedback from our team manager and line manager.

What didn’t you like about your last job?

There wasn’t anything I disliked; however, I sometimes found my employers lack of ambition. It slightly frustrates me, as if felt that they could have achieved
much more. I am quite positive and enthusiastic person and I would have loved it if their future plans is more ambitious.

What was three things your last boss told you?

She will tell that I am reliable, independent, fast and accurate on my work.

What motivates you?

It motivates me when I know my contributions and hard work are paying off.
It motivates me when I feel that I am improving in my role.
It motivates me when I do a great job for my work.
It motivates me when I see the smiles of my parents and makes them proud.
