Job hunt with a purpose

  • Decide what kind of job you would want exactly. Obviously, you might be interested in more than one career, but try to identify first the one that seems the most appealing to you.
  • Choose the company or place where you could see yourself working, or where you would like to work.
  • Study and examine the company where you would like to be employed in the future.
  • Establish exactly what qualifications and skills you will need for the coveted position.
  • Map your own skills, listing your strengths that would help you get the position, and identifying what you need to work on or acquire before you apply.
  • Plan how you are going to fill any skills gaps, and implement your plan as much as possible.
  • Prepare an ace application dossier, fine-tune your CV and everything else that is required for applying for the position.
  • Now is the time to apply. Be confident and well-prepared, safe in the knowledge that you have done everything for a successful application.

Top tips for the best presentations

  1. Be creative with the title

Many people consider that first impressions are the most important. A creative title, one that is sufficiently clear, yet not too dry, will catch the attention of the audience who will want to know more about the content of your talk. The title could also be a relevant question or a fitting phrase.

  1. Frame your presentation

After the title, instead of jumping right in the middle, briefly introduce what you are going to talk about. This will give structure to your presentation, and the audience will know what to expect. At the end, always give a short summary as a conclusion of your thoughts.

  1. Mind the logical setup

If you are presenting a project or a process, always follow the logical or chronological sequence. It will make your presentation seamless, helping you with your delivery, and the audience understanding you.

  1. The less you write, the better

Your presentation is primarily meant to support your talk. Therefore, you only need to write the most important information on the slides, an outline with the keywords.

  1. Use as many pictures and illustrations as you can

Most people tend to be visual, and what will capture and hold the attention of the audience will be the illustration you use for your presentation. Use as many pictures and illustrative figures, that is charts and tables on your slides as possible, to break up the monotony of the text.

Tips for a successful job interview

Be up to date!

Just reading the job ad will not be enough to make you stand out from the other applicants. Before the interview, do a thorough research of the place, the position of which you are applying for! Look online to find out exactly what that particular company does and how they do it! Check their social media pages, if they have any, so that you’re not caught by surprise during the interview.

Practice the situation!

This is especially important if you tend to get nervous. Practice your answers to typical (or not so typical) interview questions! Figure out exactly what you’re going to say when asked about your experiences, hobbies or goals, be focused and speak selectively!

Be engaging!

In job interviews, as in other situations, your appearance and body language make the first impression, so it’s very important to pay due attention to this as well. In general, you should dress elegantly for interviews, but of course your outfit will depend on the quality of the job. Try to show positivity and don’t talk negatively about your previous employer, as this can easily backfire!

Ask questions!

There is almost always an opportunity to ask questions at job interviews, but many people wouldn’t take advantage of this, even though it’s worth it! Asking questions is not a sign of ignorance, it shows that you are serious about getting the job.
