Halp me.

I need some help with a job application form. I've answered most of the rubbish they're asking, but I'm a bit stuck with this beech:

Any thoughts?

As for building relationships, I doubt they'll consider the goings on at the last work's Christmas party as being entirely relevant.

Help me be constructive with this

 

Lol I don't think a Christmas Party is any good on that either.

Here's an example situation on my part, I can't make one for you because Idk what you do,

But I used to be a busser for Chili's Bar and Grill

An example of supporting your colleagues would be during a friday night and a 2 hour wait list we were short on servers, I helped run food out to the tables and serve guests who were just seated.

Building relationships can be something like this instance where this idiotic server put broken glass in my black buss tub (which I couldn't see) I couldn't stand her either but I learned to get along with her, had a talk about putting such objects in my tub and from now on whenever there was a spill with broken glass we would work together so I can dispose of it properly.

Those are pretty lame examples and of course you would reword it differently, and add a little "fluff" to it

 

Perhaps anything related to supporting your colleages in the past.
Or if you don't have any experience with it. I would recommend you put something you are willing to do to your collegue who is having some trouble with anything.
Showing them what you will be doing in this case.

 

Yeah, I know you don't know what I do, but I was just looking for general examples/lies that I could member jig around a bit and use

I have no idea what a black buss tub is though, or a busser for that matter.

Jobs I've done - duty manager for a supermarket, customer service (telephone based), marketing communications officer, pensions co-ordinator, and now I'm a Jobcentre adviser. Does that help? :/

 

Hm. This is a good point. Something I could do... Although if I don't put something that I HAVE done, they'll just think I'm a bitch that doesn't do anything for anyone, which maybe relatively near the truth, but I don't want them to find that out until I've got the job and my contract signed

Er... I guess with the Jobcentre work I have to build relationships with the 'customers' in some respect, just to get them to co-operate and talk to me. Otherwise they just sit there and grunt, quite often, but it's not really 'supporting colleagues or others', is it? :/

 

Busser=buss boy (But I hate that term because I'm a girl and I was the fastest busser there) but we were the people who cleaned up the tables after people were done eating, and a buss tub is just a black tub we carry our dirty dishes in to the dish washer

I have experience with telecommunications as well, both customer service and inbound sales. My example of supporting a colleague would be that there are many days were people are just downright rude to you for no reason, and you do your best to stay as polite as you can on every call but it starts to wear you down. Our managers always told us that if we see a coworker all bummed out, to pat them on the back. I was team lead seller for DirecTV and some of my coworkers would come to me like "hey victoria, I'm about to lose this sale, can you help me out?" and I would talk to the customer on the phone and at most times, would sell them. Even though I didn't get commissioned for it.

And Building relationships....that might be kinda hard for customer service, we had our individual cubicles for that job, but if you all sat in a bay area you can talk about getting along with everyone and making sure everyone stays in a great mood so the overall quality scores were high

 

any group project you've done for any college classes is a good example of this sort of thing. just because they say "colleague" doesn't mean you can't use a classmate.

If you don't want to say "classmate" you can talk about a time you had to give a presentation -- they won't necessarily know its not in a business context.

you could also put a good leadership/delegation spin on stories like that and hit a few more key traits they're probably looking for.
