Tell us about urself

I'd really describe myself as a person with a versatile skill-set, passionate driven and not afraid to
step out of my confort zone in ordre to gain a new learning and professional experience

Now Im looking to take my career to the next level by joing ucb where I can be a part of a team, but
also allows me to focus my energy on my best strength, working directly with customers. Id like to
build a long-term career that lets me focus on professional growth.

Im very good at finding solutions to problems and I relish a challenge.

greatest weaknesses/

I think one area I could work on is my delegation skills. I am always so concerned about everything
being done right and on time that I can get stuck in that mentality of If you want it done right, do it
yourself. Unfortunately, thats not always possible and Ive realized that I can slow things down if I
am too controlling. So I learned that team work is the best way to coplet tasks correctly and on time
to trsut my team and to let go

Describe a difficult experience at work and how you handled it.

During my time as treasury holder at pragma junior entreprise one of our big customers didnt pay us
stopped paying us for about 3 months him and evertime time we called him about the paiement he
would stall us tomorrow next week the week after that and everytime we asked for a meeting he
would come up with an excuse so I had to pay him a surprise visit and asked him to explain the
situation and he explained that he didnt have the lump sum available because he was having some
financial diffulcties and that he was afraid that we were going to take him to court . So I negociated
with him a payment plan and he ended up paying his debt and we didnt lose anymore money or
time by taking him to court and we mainted our business relationship?

In the short term, I hope to work as a sales representative for a company such as yours; one with a
mission based on stellar customer service and care. Working as a sales representative for a company
I believe in will prepare me to hopefully take on expanded team leadership responsibilities in the
future, as these become available.

Goals

. My short-term goal is to find a position that will put me in a forward-moving company with solid
performance and future projections. As part of a team, I want to add value and continue to grow the
company.

My long-term goal will depend on where the company goes. My plan is to move into a position of
responsibility where I can lead a team.

Describe your work style.

I am a hard-worker, so I like to get in early and stay until I have all of my goals for the day
accomplished. I always make sure to do the high priority projects first. Im a big believer in
delegation, so I dont have a problem working with a boss who just gives me the main objectives and
lets me work out the best way to reach those objectives. I also think that with delegation comes
collaboration because sometimes it takes a team to get a project completed successfully. I also know
the importance of communicating with my boss and team members because then nothing will get
done twice and everything will get done.

Do You Take Work Home With You?

When I need to, bringing work home with me is not a problem. I realize the importance of meeting
deadlines and getting work done on time, and sometimes that requires extra hours in the office or at
home

Have You Ever Had Difficulty Working With a Manager?

No because I make sure to do my job correctly and to respect my deadline so I havnet experienced
any diffyculities working with managers.

Anger at Work

Theres no place for an emotion like anger in aworkplace. Of course sometimes I might get frustrated
but I take a stepp back and a deep breath and just let it go.

Sucess

"To me, success is meeting goals, knowing that my work is adding value and growth to my company
but also to my overall life and the lives of other people."

How long do you expect to work at our company?

. I'd like a job where I can have continuity and be part of a team.

Work pace

I usually work at a steady, consistent pace. Because of my ability to organize and plan out my work
schedule, I always complete my work ahead of time.

Boss wrong

I went into my bosss office and spoke to him privately about the error, simply showing him the most
recent data. He thanked me and immediately updated the information. We completed the project
with great success.

Question to ask:

Can you describe a typical day in this position?

Cash and liquidity forecasts

Liquidity enables an organization to do two things: to pay its obligations where and when they fall
due; and to source additional funds to meet further obligations.

Day-to-day cash forecasts are usually driven by receipts

and payments data from the accounts receivable and payable ledgers, interest and tax information,
and net profit/performance reporting. They generally cover the period from the day they are created
until up to 30 days later. While treasurers in highly geared or volatile businesses often value them
greatly, some of their peers in cash-rich or cash-generative businesses do not use shortterm forecasts
at all. However, the need to optimize the investment of surplus cash means more companies are

requiring them today than in the past

Long-term forecasts are an essential tool for identifying

trends and overall cash generation or consumption over

time. They are usually driven from plan data prepared by

management accountants, and their timescales will

typically extend from one year up to three, five or

even ten years or more.

The level and nature of business risks and their

impact on cash flows have a material impact on

key treasury activities such as managing capital


structure, funding and liquidity and financial risks.

It is important that those responsible for treasury

thoroughly understand the business model and

the industry sector within which the organization

operates, while supporting and enabling the

organizations business operations and strategy

Key tools for managing liquidity are:

Cash management: using cash generated by

business operations, cash surpluses retained in the

business and short-term liquid investments. The physical

day-to-day management of cash ensures that payment

obligations can be met

Working capital management: managing supplier

payments, receivables and inventories to optimize the

investment in working capital

Organizing and managing borrowing

facilities: using cash-flow forecasts, building in

planned/required new funding and maturing funding

that must be repaid or refinanced.

Table 2: Cash management components

Day-to-day cash control

(including intra-day

where necessary)

This involves having the information to monitor bank account balances and the tools to

manage liquidity so that the organization has enough cash or near-cash resources to

meet its immediate obligations.

Money at the bank Building an efficient bank account structure that minimizes overall borrowing
costs,

maximizes overall interest earned and facilitates liquidity management.

Receipts This requires the maintenance of bank accounts that are optimized for collection

streams and an efficient infrastructure for managing items during collection.


Payments control This involves maintaining bank accounts that are optimized for making payments,

whether routine or urgent, together with appropriate systems support.

Short-term investments Optimizing the use of surplus funds by making short-term investments.

Short-term borrowings The use of borrowing facilities to cover immediate funding shortfalls
