"I've worked in online commerce for a few years and love what I do. But the current company I work for has a very inflexible advancement model, and more often than not, any opportunities that open up are granted through nepotism; it is far from meritocratic. I feel like the career growth I planned for myself is somewhat limited at my current place of employment. It is time to unlimit my possibilities. I have always loved everything that Klarna is doing, and it's been my goal for some time to land an opportunity for a position here. So, a year ago, I shifted my goals from trying to advance from within my current company to finding a position at Klarna. I've reached my goals to get there and feel ready, which is what brings me before you today."
