Secured a first stage interview after a 45 minute call with a new company who asked me to prepare a presentation on *deep breath* my previous work, previous projects, how I budget, how I plan and schedule, how I design my systems, risk management, deliverables, budgetting, contingencies... No.

The role is project management, comes with a 45K GBP a year salary and a 2% bonus system. Here is my reply. BOY did this feel good typing out! ( I replaced names with roles as to maintain discretion).

Hi (Recruiter's name)!

Thanks, the festival was absolutely ace! A bit frail today though...

I'd like to withdraw my application. The role, however exciting, is not worth that level of effort and I think that you should advise your client that their list of requirements for a first-stage interview is just massively overwhelming. I actually started to prepare something but gave up when I realised this would take literally days to do properly. Sure, anyone can throw together a PPP, but doing it properly and to the level they are asking for is too much.

I don't mind bringing in previous works to discuss, as well as some notes on methodology, but a full-on PowerPoint presentation? (The Director) was very clear on the call that the role is hugely demanding for a salary and perks package that is good, but not great, and a 2% bonus system is simply not worth the sheer amount of undoubtable stress this role will bring, as all PM roles do. Imagine bringing in two million pounds (which is a huge number and probably not very achievable without an incredibly demanding workload and fifty/sixty hour weeks) in revenue for your company and seeing probably around 10-14K as a bonus after tax. A two million pound job would undoubtedly take up the entire year, if not longer, and I'm sorry but I value my free time more than paying off a small chunk of a mortgage.

(The Director) was also very open with their amount of three-letter-abbreviated policies designed to 'improve' their staff. These sound great to managers and directors, but for the employee, they sound like more work, and would actually just add more pressure. Imagine being up to your neck in projects and being told you're now on a pathway to 'improvement', but that pathway is actually just more role requirements/KPI's... Their last candidate resigned after a few weeks due to the pressure of this and I think that speaks for itself. Whilst they may love working, it is just not right for everyone - and that's okay! I am telling you this because (The Director) seemed lovely on the phone and I wish them all the success in the world, but having that many hoops to jump through in a market that already has a lot of hiring potential is simply not worth my time. I am pretty sure there would be other people willing to make t

Risk management/insurance class project help

Hello all,

I'm currently enrolled in a CFP educational program. In the Risk Management & Insurance course, we were assigned the following project:

"This project will include an individual risk management insurance plan written/developed by the student.Β  The assignment must be at least 7 pages in length with a cover and reference page (not included in the length of the paper).Β  12 point fonts and double-spaced.Β  Concepts from the course must be used as studied during Units 1 - 5.Β  The assignment is worth 200 points and must use 6thΒ edition APA writing style."

Those are literally all the details available. I emailed the professor (who has been largely useless all semester) for more information, they answered some of my questions but not all of them. The only additional detail I received is that the subject of the paper should be about an organization, not an individual.

My current plan is to identify a business that I am familiar with, identify their risks, and come up with recommendations for how to manage them, through avoidance, diversification, insurance, etc. I would love feedback/ideas/an interpretation from someone with some expertise in this area that can help me understand the assignment better.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide!
