"Please introduce yourself concisely, and tell me why I have to employ you?"

I am a student of University of Denver and double major in Marketing and Computer Science. Nowadays, most of projects are required on computers. I am good at computing, so I can do the jobs with mathematics. Operating any kind of computer systems is also my strength, such as Windows 7, Ubuntu Linux 11.10, Mac OSX, which means I can use any kind of computer to complete my jobs. I am very aware of others’ interests. I have the abilities to be competent for this job, because your company is a big company dealing with technology communication and is hiring marketing people. All in all, I believe I am the suitable candidate for this position.

Ethos:

"You describe yourself so smart and competent. Do you think you have weaknesses?"

Everyone has weaknesses. I think you, mister, must have amended your weaknesses and have improved your skills since you join the marketing team of your company. I will improve my weaknesses and skills too. When I knew the qualifications for entry-level position, I thought that I still have some skills have to be obtained. I should have good organization skills, which are assessing needs, planning or arranging presentations or social events, designing programs, coordinating events, delegating responsibility, evaluating programs, and managing the implementation of projects. This is the biggest and the most important problem I have, because if one does not have good organization skills, one would not become a leader of a team.

Pathos:

"Do you know how to improve your weak ability, and what do you want to learn from this job?"

Learning how to be good at organizing is the first significant task of mine. Because I am a student without working experiences, I need a big platform to learn new knowledge and to applied knowledge I learn from school into the work. I would definitely work hard and asked my colleagues once I have problems, which I cannot solve by myself. I am applying to the marketing assistant, so I should learn more communicative skills and learn how to making good social relationships and social network from my colleagues.
