10. SEEKING ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT

Cases of application for the job market

Imagine that you need to illustrate your strengths in the workplace. If
seeking assistance and support is one of them your response could look

like one of these cases:

A.

Working at a busy store, I noticed a big problem with keeping track of our
products. Sometimes we didn't have what customers wanted, and orders

got mixed up. I talked to the team in charge of inventory, even though I'm
not an expert in that stuff.

I explained how our mistakes were upsetting customers. Together, we

looked at how we managed stock and found better ways to do it. With
their help, we improved how we tracked products, and things got way

better!

Customers were happier because they got what they wanted, and the

store seemed more reliable.

If I did not reach out to my colleagues we would loose many customers as
I could see that even the loyal once where very frustrated and you could

see they will give up on us soon if we do not fix it.
