00:00Your CV is very important because this is the tool that you can use to get the first
00:07impression from your potential employer.
00:10So it depends on how impressive your CV is the opportunity for you to get the chance
00:14to be interviewed.
00:15So one of the things that I would like to mention about writing CV is that first it
00:21must be very clear, very concise, and very structured.
00:26So avoid using all these fancy text colors, the fancy text styles.
00:32So make it very, very simple.
00:34Next is that your CV also talks about yourself.
00:37So make sure that your CV emphasizes everything that is important to you.
00:45What do you want your recruiter to catch the attention?
00:48For example, if your strength is your experience, you have to highlight your strength, your
00:54experience.
00:55If your strength is your education, you have to highlight your education.
00:59When you get the opportunity to be interviewed, you have to nail it.
01:03So some of the basic things that I would like to emphasize here are that first you have
01:07to do your homework.
01:08When you are applying for a job, you have to know everything about the company as much
01:14as you can.
01:15You need to research about the company.
01:17You need to know who they are, what they are doing.
01:20And the best thing to do this is to go to their website.
01:23You need to know who is the person interviewing you.
01:26And if you have time, you can also Google about him or her.
01:30You can also check about some information about the person who will interview you.
01:35Because this will give you an idea on how you will attack your interview.
01:39If that person is a jolly type of person or he's a serious type of person.
01:43So you have an idea on how you will deal with the person who will interview you.
01:48Also during the interview, you have to dress appropriately.
01:51Dress is very important.
01:53When you hear the word dress to impress or dress to success, this is all about.
01:58When you go for interview, your 10 seconds are very important.
02:02The moment they look at your appearance, how you dress up yourself, it already gives an
02:06impact to the interviewer or to the recruiter.
02:09For example, if it's a construction company, and you know that the dress code in that company
02:15is a very simple type or just a shirt or jeans, don't go there with your tuxedo or with your
02:21suit.
02:22So you have to go there with less is likely corporate attire.
02:25When you go for a corporate world, you need to go with a suit or with your tie or with
02:32a professional look.
02:35But make sure also that you don't overdress.
02:38Don't put so much makeup or so much jewelry that you look like a Christmas tree.
02:43Be careful about talking about your previous company.
02:46So never ever talk bad about your previous company.
02:50So whenever they ask you what is the reason why you are moving, always tell a very positive
02:56things about your previous company that you have learned a lot from them and that you
03:00are moving for another opportunity or you want to be more professionally challenged
03:05in your work.
03:06That's why you are moving.
03:07Should you be friends with your boss?
03:10It has pros and cons.
03:12It depends also if you are friends before you became boss or subordinate and superior
03:21relationship.
03:23But for me, I always prefer also to be a good friend because in every relationship, whether
03:29it is a boss or employer or employee relationship, what is important is it must be built with
03:35trust and confidence.
03:37If you have this trust and confidence with each other in any relationship, for sure it
03:42will go successfully.
03:45But you have to know your limits.
03:47You have to set the line of boundaries versus personal and professional.
03:53Otherwise they will say if you promoted him because he is your good friend, they will
03:56say it's a favoritism part.
03:59You got the promotion because you are good friends.
04:01To be a star, you need to shine in the dark so they can see you.
04:07This is the best scenario that I can give.
04:11For example, when things are going wrong or things are not as you expected in the business
04:20or in the company or in the organization, it's the best time for you to shine.
04:26For example, recession or any other challenges that comes to your work, you must prove to
04:33them what you can give or what you can do to solve the problem rather than being part
04:40of the problem.
04:41To deal with different colleagues, all you need to do here is understanding.
04:48You have to understand their culture.
04:50You need to give respect to people because once you give respect, once you understand
04:56them, for sure they will also do the same thing to you.
05:01For me, it's all about dealing with them in a good or in a proper way rather than going
05:10to their flow, going to their level.
05:12If they are very negative, that's the time that you have to give them more guidance,
05:19more attention, more support rather than going with their negativity.
