Hey, if you're listening to this episode, congratulations on landing that job interview! If you haven't yet, congratulations on preparing ahead of time!
After sending your CV, now comes the hardest part: the job interview. However, the reality is that in a job interview, recruiters are not looking for perfection but rather uniqueness. Of course, we must make a good impression and demonstrate professionalism, but what will make us stand out during a job interview is our essence.
For immigrants, it may be more laborious to get an interview since we must face a series of challenges where, in some cases, the language barrier is the greatest of them. Even the lack of self-esteem can take us away from submitting our resumes cause we think we are not good enough to be accepted.
You're good enough! Leave your fears behind because companies are looking for you.
For today's episode, we will be talking with Tiina Pereira, a Head Hunter who has found dozens of talents worldwide. With over 20 years of experience today, Tiina will share tips to make our interviews memorable and get the job we want, so take notes!
I hope you find this episode helpful. Wishing you the best in that job interview,
La Mantuana.
