Interview Assessment Notes
|
1. Could you introduce yourself and tell us about you? Your current/recent jobs and employers? Previous companies and jobs?
She began her career in international sales, specializing in selling semiconductor manufacturing equipment to clients in Europe and the U.S. She managed a portfolio of 20 to 30 companies simultaneously and worked in this role for three years.
Following that, she transitioned into technical translation, focusing on technical software translation for a corporation specializing in automation technology. She later worked as a translator for hygiene products, expanding her expertise in technical and commercial translation.
Her most recent role was with a B2B language learning software company, where she was the sole representative in Japan, working remotely while coordinating with agencies and reporting to a Brazil-based manager. She handled end-to-end sales, from creating sales materials, presentations, and emails to cold calling universities and local governments. She successfully launched three projects in one year, partnering with two universities and one local government, leading to over 15,000 users adopting the software.
2. What skill(s) / experience would you self-describe as strongest or specialist in?
She specializes in B2B sales, with her strongest skill being building strong relationships with customers. She excels at gaining clients' trust and making them feel confident in her support.
For example, when a U.S.-based client planned to visit the headquarters in Japan, her manager was unavailable due to a business trip. However, the client expressed no concern, stating that they trusted her completely to handle their needs. This demonstrates her ability to foster strong connections and maintain customer confidence, making her a valuable asset in B2B sales and client relations.
3. Do you have XXXX (Key Criteria 1)? If so can you tell me more?
She has experience selling innovative software solutions, notably an AI-powered language learning platform designed for higher education, local governments, and corporate clients. This self-directed software supports language learning in 29 languages, with a primary focus on European languages while also offering options in others, such as Arabic. The platform is versatile, serving both as a tool for individual study and as an educational resource that teachers can incorporate into classroom settings. In addition to her software sales experience, she has served as a technical translator, working on critical documents like Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for hygiene products. Although she hasn't worked directly within the healthcare or insurance industries, her translation work has provided her with a solid understanding of the compliance and documentation needs in those sectors. This role required precision and a deep understanding of technical terminology, which are skills that are highly transferable to various industry contexts. Overall, her combined background in B2B software sales and technical translation positions her well to connect with and support organizations in the healthcare, insurance, or related fields. Her ability to understand and communicate complex technical information ensures that she can bridge gaps between product functionality and client needs, making her a versatile asset for roles that require both sales acumen and technical expertise. for 5 seconds.
