Innocent (drinks) – Job Application

Yesterday, I came across a tweet in which innocent is looking for a Short Term Digital Assistant. I thought that I along the job application process, it would be useful if I could share my response to some of their brilliant questions.

Tell us your reasons for wanting to work at innocent and the role in question. Why is this the right job for you?

I practice high level of work ethics when dealing with my clients (as I currently do freelance web design/development). I will always try to deliver solution that meet or even exceed the requirement whenever necessary.

I always believe that these qualities are essential to work with established company such as innocent – in order to deliver the best towards the customer.

We love meeting people who leave things a bit better than they find them. So, please tell us about a recent situation where you took the initiative and made something happen.

I believe that even small things can make a big difference. I used to help my parents at the school canteen where I learn to clean the tables and floor. Having this experience, it teaches me to think twice before leaving my plates on the table for people to clean it for me.

Although I am not expected to do so, I understood the tiring work behind the cleaning process. Especially when the food tables and floor are dirty. Thus, having this in mind, I will always try to make sure I take my plate to the required place (if available) and pick up any leftover on the table.

At the end of the day, “What Goes Around Comes Around”.

We’re looking for people who face challenges head on and deliver against the odds. What achievement are you most proud of?

In 2009, I entered the Business Idea competition, in which the competition was similar to BBC Dragons’ Den. I have sent my business proposal for the competition, however, there was no reply that I received regarding my entry. Despite that, I made myself available in London – I took the bus from Cardiff to London.

On the day itself, around 10am, I made an assumption that my entry was rejected. Thus, I have no other thing to do other than enjoying myself in London – sight seeing. Around 11am, I received a phone call from a friend of mine asking why I was not there yet? I have just been informed that I was one of the finalist, but they could not sent the feedback due to some technical issues.

Although I am not wearing suit and tie for the presentation, but I start my presentation with these lines, “I beg your pardon for my attire. If you watch The Pursuit of Happyness, then my case is quite similar to Will Smith in the story…”

I was awarded the Special Judge Prize for my business idea and presentation. I am proud of it because I found myself holding the same principle through out my life – never quit!
