Speaker: Jill Cheek
Start by letting us know who you are, what position you are applying, and in what city/state.
Jill Cheek: Hi, my name is Jill Cheek. I am applying for the medical office manager and patient experience coordinator position at the Weatherford Texas location.
Why should we hire you?
Jill Cheek: You should hire me because I have exceptional customer service skills. I currently manage the day to day operations of a retail store. I have anywhere from 16 to 18 part time uh employees under my leadership. I am empathetic with a positive can do attitude. I like to lead with integrity. I love just getting the job done and doing the job, right. I love working with people. Um I'm very empathetic. I have previous experience with patient coordinating and scheduling as well as spa coordinating and scheduling. Um I'm also hearing impaired and I um think that that would benefit the hearing and brain centers because I am an example of what proper hearing aids will do and how it allows you to live a very full life.
What is your greatest accomplishment so far?
Jill Cheek: This is an easy question. My greatest accomplishment so far is being a mom.
Describe your ‘perfect’ day?
Jill Cheek: The perfect day for me would be relaxing on a sunny beach in Florida, hanging out with family, doing absolutely nothing.
In the next 3-5 years where do you see yourself personally and professionally. Share as many details as you are comfortable with.
Jill Cheek: In the next 3 to 5 years. I'd like to grow professionally with a solid company, developing, developing my leadership skills. Um, as far as my personal goals, I do have a bucket list of things that I would like to check off. Um, I would love to do a bodybuilding competition or at least get at that point where I could do a bodybuilding competition. Um, I've always loved physical fitness but I, that's been on the back burner for a few years. Um, I would like to rewrite my dad's, um, cookbook that he did many years ago and I would like to possibly start a, um, not for profit, um, for, uh, something that's very dear to me. So, yeah, those are my professional and personal goals.
Who do you think of for; motivation, inspiration and direction? Why
Jill Cheek: My son inspires and motivates me to do my best. Um I think as parents, um it is our responsibility until they are an adult to lead by example. So he is what motivates me and inspires me and gives me direction.
What gives you a sense of Purpose?
Jill Cheek: Um, what gives me a sense of purpose just getting up each day and knowing that, um, I've been giving, given another day to live. That's a sense of purpose. Um, my son has a sense of purpose. My bucket list is a sense of purpose. Um, seeing the sunshine as a sense of purpose. I just think, um, being of service to other people gives us a sense of purpose. Uh There's so much that we can do in life. Uh We just have to just look for it. Um, I just love living and I just, um, I think a sense of purpose can encompass so many things from like your kids, like I said to your goals. Um, so when I get up in the morning, I'm just, I'm ready to get to it, whatever it is that day, whether it's my job or my family.
What does success look like to you?
Jill Cheek: Success is doing something that you love and seeing it come to fruition. Um It may be monetary um some meeting some goal, whether it's, you know, at my job, meeting a sales plan or it could be just, you know, the success of a weekend with the family. Um success for me is not always the monetary or the superficial. The things that are here today could be gone tomorrow, um such as as a house or car, but just possibly just doing something for other people and serving others and um that success at the end of the day. Yeah.
What would be your top 3 book recommendations regardless of genre and why?
Jill Cheek: Um the three books that I recommend um or that I really enjoyed reading um Louise Hay, you can heal your life. And this basically talks about how our attitudes and thoughts determine our, our life and how just adjusting our attitude in life. Um Excuse me, thoughts in life will help us to reach our goals or just like of a healthy, productive, happy life. Um The Four Agreements is another book and this was a great book for me to read. Um And it just helps with dealing with other people that it's not about us. Um So whatever we're dealing with with human beings, um The four Agreements basically gets us to um take a step back and look at the situation at hand and realize it's not about us and we all project our whatevers into a conversation or into dealing with people and it helps us to not do that as well as not take things personally um because we never know what someone else is dealing with. Um The third book that I recommend is now Discover Your Strengths. And this was a great book for me because it helped me just to discover what my leadership skills are. Um And I loved it. There was a test in the back of the book or I think you could go online and do the test. And so it was a, a great book. Um And I recommend those three books.
