Subject: Organization/Position Research Memo
The company I have chosen to find a job is Nestle. There are many different reasons to why I chose Nestle as the company responsible for my wage and work life. The position that I applied for was the Area Sales Manager in New York City. It is a full-time position with a monthly wage of about a thousand dollars. I initially considered it to be a low wage as compared to my skill set, but the job position and the authority attracted me more than the wage. Moreover, what attracted me most was the name of the company that was hiring.
Nestle is the biggest food company in the world. It is a Swiss multinational food and drink processing conglomerate corporation headquartered in Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland. The company has international links in one hundred and eighty-nine countries. It has four hundred and forty-seven factories installed around the world that have hired around four hundred thousand employees. The company is responsible for many different products like; baby food, medical food, bottled water, breakfast cereals, coffee and tea, confectionery, dairy products, ice cream, frozen food, pet foods, and snacks. The company is also the leading share holder of the biggest cosmetics company in the world, L’Oréal. It would be understatement to say that the Nestle company is one of the most influential and biggest companies in the world. Working for it would be a dream come true for me.
As the company is a global phenomenon and the products are used in many different countries, sales managers are responsible for each region where the company provides its services and products. The position I have applied for a job in Nestle is the Area Sales Manager. The manager would be responsible for monitoring, analyzing and evaluation the trends of sales in the market. He would also be responsible to come up with back up plans to keep the demand, price and availability of the products stable. The sales manager is also responsible for many other things, like monitoring, tracking and recording the data of the sales team in the certain region. I also chose this job because it is not a regular desk and paperwork job, which I consider to be very inactive and boring. The area sales manager will also be able to travel across different sites of the company to meet different sales teams and other company personals. It would be the job of a person at this position to recruit and train new members of the team. The job is offered for New York City, which is the largest city in the world, so it means that I would have an excellent authority in one of the biggest outlets and regions for the company. In hind sight, this job is a leadership opportunity, because not only does the area sales manager have the control, he is also responsible in guiding his team members with him while facing challenges. In my opinion, I would be suitable for the job because I have the temperament and personality of a leader. Nor do I hide behind my inferiors when it’s time for accountability.
Moreover, there are many certain things that I would bring for the company if I was granted this position. There has been a stereotypical belief that the management personal is not friendly or empathetic towards other employees. This causes poor relations between the leaders and the authorities which in return turns to be counterproductive for everyone, whether it’s the performance of the employees or the decisions of the authorities. I would like to break this stereotype and be more emphatic towards the employees. So that they can feel protected and safe by the company they are working for and this would bring more efficiency and effectivity in their performance. I would also take the authority of taking decisions, after I have consulted not only with my deputies, but also any personal of the company who wants to add something. As the Area Sales Manager, nor will I only be responsible for the sales of Nestle products in New York City, but also for the offices and personals in the city. A healthy and friendly work environment would be given a priority over constant, and relentless work, that would create mediocre results.
This application is meant to be submitted through the email address of the Employee Recruitment Office of Nestle situated in New York City.
