Project help needed

[Andydott]

Afternoon guys,

To cut a long story short, I have a final job interview in just under a month. I have been advised that I need to bring in a project that I have been working on whether it is a work or a personal project. To be honest, I haven’t been working on any type of project in my own time or in work.

So I need some ideas, something that will blow them out the water. I am applying for a business apprenticeship, so anything that will go well with the type of job I am going for will be a big help.

Thanks in advanced :)

start a charity. or some kind of sponsored event. shows you are good at organisation, handling money, making money, you are determined and have morals. cant go wrong.

A personal project could be your training. You could talk about training and nutrition and the ins and outs of the human body and how it can be developed into a fine specimen, then at the end, take your shirt and tie off and do a massive Bulldog pose whilst gritting your teeth and growling!!!! you will be hired on the spot!

Grow a beard, Sir Alan will love that...

i agree with teej on this one, make a diary of eating habits and training and how you fit it into your lifestyle, showing before and after pics then blab on about how your body needs protein after a workout, how ur muscles grow,and all the complicated nutritional stuff before and after pics then put some music on, strip off and bosh out some flex wheeler poses!!

lol Rich thats priceless!! I'll have to remember that one next time I get asked the question 'tell us about a demanding project you have been involved with...." at interview. Is there a way to strip out a suit n tie and make it look good though!!?

I'm with the others go for the comp rather than rush a project. The fact your passionate about it will stand out when your talking which is good. You got all aspects of business including money management. You had to work out your budget and out of the 1000's of supplements pick your choices for your budget.
Good luck with the interview!

In all seriousness, what is it you do for a living now, what experience do you have? Can you tell us a bit more about the apprenticeship you are going for i.e. industry sector, company size, what areas of the company you will be working in etc?


I think to be honest you should be going into this with both work & personal bases covered with examples...

Well at the moment I work for a company called Fujitsu doing networking, it sounds better than it is but I am on a team that supports Post Offices around the country and ensure that they stay connected to the internet. I don’t really have that much experience as this is my first real job, but at college I was taking apart base units and rebuilding them and all of that type of stuff.

Well its for a company called Selex Galileo, they specialise in the defence and electronics market. It is a 2 year business apprenticeship and in that two years I will be going to university one day a week and working in HR, finance, marketing, project planning, legal and operations.

I feel the idea of running a marathon for charity is a good idea :)
Cheers for the ideas by the way guys, keep them coming

If you go with the marathon rope a mate in with you, it shows team work.
