"My previous work experience in typescript, React.js, and Node.js match your particular tech stack. I know all of the caveats and libraries that are commonly used with those technologies which significantly speeds up development time since I am used to those types of problems. I have also worked at 2 e-commerce companies and since you are also e-commerce, I am used to those particular product's features and business requirements. I also worked 6 internships through my college education which entails that I have solid experience in being able to adapt and learn a new technology and product which is crucial when onboarding at a new tech company.

Your international experience is one reason, so you may want to address that in a more strategic way.

"My technical expertise combined with my soft skills makes me an ideal candidate for this position. My previous roles demonstrate that I have the ability to jump into a new role and learn new concepts quickly, and establish strong, lasting relationships both internally within a team and externally with stakeholders. I have a strong understanding of the chain of justice and have routinely demonstrated the leadership necessary to drive legislative reform."

Kevin's Feedback for the Answer Above

Your answer actually makes that common mistake we outlined of giving a general overview of your resume or work history. Although you do outline the soft skills not detailed on your resume, you center them around accomplishments that are likely detailed on your resume. Why should they hire you over anyone else? How have you helped solve the company’s most significant needs?

"I learn fast. I know this is a desirable trait whenever onboarding a new hire into a role. But the way I go about learning is by building work relations by valuing everyone’s input and perspective. In my opinion, there is no better way to establish strong lasting relationships than working hard, keeping your head down, and tapping into every resource, and that starts with valuing every member of the team as a resource. It shows you respect them, and that is the best way of earning other’s respect. Once I’ve achieved that, and like I said, I learn fast, I will continue to discover every other resource, and pick up everyone’s tricks-of-the-trade along the way. Once I’ve picked up how to navigate all the procedures and systems, I’ll kaizen those systems and see how I can adjust them for my own style. I am all about streamlining systems. I truly believe the easiest way to do something should always be the right way to do it. So if there are ways to cut corners, or shortcuts for getting the work done faster, than those systems need adjusting until those shortcuts are unnecessary. I’ll also put my all in by building relationships with our stakeholders. Once I have sure-footing, I’ll continue to expand my comfort zone, careful not to bite off more than I can chew. As I see it, it’s my job to make my leader’s job easier. I do this by tapping into the big picture scope, and actively listening at all times, putting my all in and living up to the clutch-player label I’ve carried with me throughout my career."

"I was a homemaker for many years. I come into the workforce with many years of the practical world experience. However, I also have strong educational credentials. I believe my success with your agency will come from having the hard skills that you are looking for, whether learned in school or through work experience. I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Juris Doctorate. I've read over the Grant Monitoring Policies and Procedure Manual. The objectives are: Verify that grant sub-award funds are being spent to further the grant objectives. Verify the subrecipient has internal controls. Verify expenditures are supported with documentation. There are similarities to what I did as a legal analyst, in that I reviewed financial records of businesses that failed to pay sales and uses taxes to the State. I investigated to determine if money was misappropriated for personal use. After the investigation, I wrote a recommendation report that I submitted to the Agency Board for their final review and determination. The report contained a statement of the facts, the violation, the rule of law, the analysis of the facts to the law, a conclusion, and a recommendation to further investigate or not further the investigation."
