fundamental to think like an employer .

00:18.559 --> 00:20.620

00:57.310 --> 01:00.509
Um No , uh not at this time . Ok ,

01:00.520 --> 01:03.740
great . Let's begin . Tell me a little

01:03.750 --> 01:06.470
about yourself . Uh Yes , yes , of

01:06.480 --> 01:09.199
course . Uh My name is Sean Campbell .

01:09.370 --> 01:11.309
Uh four years of experience in

01:11.319 --> 01:13.319
contracting while serving in the US

01:13.319 --> 01:17.260
Navy . In that role . I was responsible

01:17.269 --> 01:19.436
for purchasing for uh my department of

01:19.436 --> 01:22.459
approximately 200 sailors . I managed a

01:22.470 --> 01:25.199
budget of $200,000 .

01:26.900 --> 01:29.569
Um I have an associate's degree in

01:29.580 --> 01:31.949
business and I'm finishing my

01:31.959 --> 01:33.848
Bachelor's degree in supply chain

01:33.849 --> 01:36.769
management . Excellent . Can you tell

01:36.779 --> 01:39.639
me about a difficult customer you had

01:39.650 --> 01:43.370
and how you handled it ? Yes . Uh

01:43.650 --> 01:46.879
most definitely about a year ago . Um

01:48.290 --> 01:50.401
I was working on a special project uh

01:50.401 --> 01:52.709
that required uh rapid prototyping . Uh

01:52.720 --> 01:55.449
One of the parts was uh hard to find

01:55.809 --> 01:57.809
and it was impacting our ability to

01:57.809 --> 02:00.500
meet our mission . Uh I'm sorry , uh

02:00.510 --> 02:03.099
our deadline uh after explaining the

02:03.110 --> 02:06.120
situation to the XO , he was upset ,

02:06.269 --> 02:09.369
told me to figure it out . I contacted

02:09.380 --> 02:11.602
uh the vendor again through a series of

02:11.602 --> 02:13.380
conversations . Uh We came to a

02:13.380 --> 02:15.213
solution that involved gathering

02:15.213 --> 02:17.324
smaller parts from multiple vendors .

02:17.324 --> 02:20.210
Um The other part of that was uh the

02:20.220 --> 02:22.970
shipping method . Uh It was three weeks

02:22.979 --> 02:25.690
to the overall timeline . Uh use my

02:25.699 --> 02:27.810
communication skills and attention to

02:27.810 --> 02:29.866
detail to uh work with the vendor to

02:29.866 --> 02:31.990
find a nontraditional uh shipping

02:32.000 --> 02:34.960
method to get materials to our location

02:34.970 --> 02:38.380
in only 10 days . Uh

02:38.389 --> 02:42.250
Obviously , it took day or two ,

02:42.259 --> 02:44.949
but my uh commander was pleased that I

02:44.960 --> 02:47.182
showed the extra initiative . Uh He put

02:47.182 --> 02:49.729
me up for uh sailor of the week which

02:49.740 --> 02:51.907
is a nice reward and rec recognition .

02:52.259 --> 02:55.630
That's wonderful . OK , Sean , my final

02:55.639 --> 02:58.800
question for you is why should we hire

02:58.809 --> 03:02.309
you ? Thank you for asking .

03:02.330 --> 03:05.029
Uh I both have experience and work

03:05.039 --> 03:07.169
ethic that a company like yours could

03:07.179 --> 03:09.720
benefit from . Uh my customer service

03:09.729 --> 03:12.229
and uh relationship building have been

03:12.240 --> 03:14.360
noted . As a as excellent in my

03:14.369 --> 03:18.050
evaluations . Um While my

03:18.059 --> 03:19.759
experience lies in fulfilling

03:19.770 --> 03:21.992
government customer orders , my time in

03:21.992 --> 03:24.159
the military has also taught me how to

03:24.159 --> 03:26.410
be adaptable and think on my feet . I

03:26.419 --> 03:28.529
believe these skills would uh be a

03:28.539 --> 03:31.990
great asset to your company . Thank

03:32.000 --> 03:34.240
you . I really appreciate you taking
