degree in Bachelors of commerce in Bilaspur, India. Currently I am pursuing my studies in
General Buisness in St. Lawrence college, Toronto. I have keen intrest in games and other
activities. What I learnt from my studies so far has always helped me in my daily life I am
willing to pursue my studies further to learn new things and work on them I really like to
challenge my self and learn new things because experiencing difficult situation makes people
learn and avoid them the next time or solve as it comes along. I am a good listener and fast
learner. I like to travel go new places meet new people, I don’t really get along people so soon
but I also surround myself with people I trust and who help me through everyday life and also
work I can get my work done by giving and taking favours. I have worked at general stores and
trucking companies where I learnt how to communicate at a work place handle pressure and
deliver the results in time. I am interested in establishing my own business but before that I want
to gain as much as experience I can gain being in field and learning. I am a good listener and
understand what the person if front of me want to say or want from an assignment i can work
with them and get the result. As I can adjust according to the situation or place.
2. Why did you choose this area/program of study?

I choose this program of study because this course help me and gain experience from the
different fields and also introduces me how the things work here in Canada helping me
know the rules of conduct at work place my rights and what I should avoid. It further

fields and work or face any situation which comes along the work as nothing can be
predicted before in time. In business people want to hire who can do different works like
write report, letter and emails, deliver presentations, develop communication and
listening skills. This course also gives us different case study and situation to analyze,
group projects, assignments and presentations in this course that we can learn from.

realtions which will might help us down the road. As even as an employer who is hiring
looks or try to find someone who is well qualified not just good grades but also job
experience which they would use for their company and make money. We should also
chose a good mentor who teaches us the tricks and help giving solutions with different
problems.
3. What will a potential employer find attractive about your current or past
accomplishments and/or education?

As an Employee one is expected to give out certain amount of output as he is paid for a job.
For any person when it comes to making payment for anything one will always make Cost
Benefit Analysis whether the amount or pay is giving to one is right or not. There are sure
things that I have to take a shot at myself yet in the meantime there are things that the
employer will discover intriguing about me. I trust that I have certain qualities that will.
enable me to land the position. I am dedicated and put full endeavors in my working
environment and furthermore I attempt to see the working environment as my own so I work
in like manner and enable the work environment to develop. I have great critical thinking
aptitudes as I have learnt this from my work environment I know how to take care of the
issues without anyone else's input and I additionally help other people now and then. I
worked in Uhaul and I work there as a Customer service representative and I also looked
after the inventory as well as receive and sell products and also closing and opening of the
cash drawer on daily basis. Promptness is an essential perspective in light of the fact that
each business needs his representatives to go ahead time and handle their work so it is
imperative. Additionally the given undertaking ought to be finished in offered time to be set
apart as effective and significant. I additionally have great relational abilities as I can connect
with others with deference and can without much of a stretch be companions with them
which is essential inside and outside the working environment. Additionally I have a capacity
to stay cool under strain so this aides at working environment. Sometimes especially on
weekends and month ends we get too many coustomers and work and pressure yet I don't get
strained and endeavor to resist the urge to panic in the circumstances since it won't be useful
to work in a weight so being quiet and buckling down is the best choice and I attempt to
comfort others to persuade them to buckle down however smoothly. These are the aptitudes
that I rehearse yet there are sure abilities that despite everything I should be produced in me
and I need to create them so I can maintain my own particular fruitful business so my desire
to take in the work is likewise one great quality.
4. List your top 5 marketable skills, related to your area of study and give at least one
example of how you have put each of them to practice. (You can include your
transferable skills and technical skills.)
a) Hard work - Diligent work is the way to progress. Each business needs his
representatives to be dedicated and useful to the organization. The representative
should treat the organization as his own and buckle down. As I discussed it above I
work inUhaul during monthend and weekend it gets so busy we have to do the same
usual work but faster and efficently. I endeavor to achieve my and organization's
objective so I make a decent attempt.
b) Communication – The most extreme significant thing in the work environment is
communication may be it written or verbal since they set the tone for how individuals
see you. They additionally enhance your odds of building associations with
collaborators. Relational abilities support your execution since they help you to
extricate clear desires from your supervisor with the goal that you can convey great
work. I have great correspondence with all my collaborators and it causes me to
tackle their issues in some cases and request their assistance on the off chance that I
have to. So there is participation in us.
c) Team work and getting along with others - An organization's prosperity is once in a
while subject to one individual accomplishing something all by him/herself.
Achievement is the aftereffect of numerous individuals moving in the direction of a
shared objective. At the point when workers use their diverse gifts, it makes the
organization effective. I act as a group with others. We work together so we help each
other in requirements and this is exceptionally valuable to the business also.
d) Problem Solving - When something turns out badly, you can either gripe or make a
move. It is constantly better to take care of our issues ourselves as it encourages us
create critical thinking aptitudes inside us. At whatever point there is an issue I
endeavor to tackle it myself first without annoying anybody.
e) Creativity or imagination - Being inventive means we have capacity to consider
extraordinary and advantageous methods for completing a work. At whatever point I
work I have a go at unraveling it in various ways and take a stab at envisioning its
outcomes.
 5. What is your biggest career aspiration (now or for future)?

My biggest career aspiration is to have a business of my own. I always work as I am working for
my own business and I always try to make maximum profit for the business and make it possible
with my and the whole team efforts. I want to own my own business one day and then I want to
expand my business and also I want to in other field of businesses and handle multiple
businesses at the same time. This is the reason I try to manage things by my own so that I have
the practice of how to deal with the problems that I might face doing business. I also would think
as an employee and would take in considering their problems they may face so I also would be
managing employees. I would have to work in teams so I am already working for it and always
try to work as a team. I ask for help whenever I need and I always help whenever someone
needs. I already am working on my attributes to run a successful business and I work hard for it.
I have a keen observation and I observe the environment around me and try to make it better and
also there are some problems in the workplace I try solving it. I know of a few business who
would give me a Franchise and I can work and run the business under their view and rules, there
are many more ideas I am looking forward to and researching.
