@3ozaiz@lujainalriyami Exactly, discovering yourself is essential. You can learn more about your characteristics and skills by participating in business activities, interacting with people, and testing yourself in various fields.

How do you answer this question: where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I heard that there were some answers like: in your position (the employer), or in a better company ๐ถ. That's rude ๐
#iPrep4Future
@kay_alrashdi - What distinguishes you from others?
- How did this role interest you?
- Why should we hire you?
- Mention a difficult situation and how did - you overcome it?
- In the end, do you have any questions?

@NAMELESS_WHOMI @maisa__26@BadarShid I liked the way you handled it. I disagree with answering later, I don't think the interviewer will wait for an answer, that is not the point of the question. However, you can say: never thought of this before, thank you for bringing it to my mind.
#iPrep4Future
@Raiyanii9 Yes. Also, your linkedin account keeps you updated. Any new accomplishments you achieve, any courses you take or anything that raises your value in the workplace is mentioned there on an ongoing basis. Whereas, the CV is only updated upon applying for a job.

@HajarGhafri 1- Arrive early, be prepared, have a professional appearance.
2- Give a strong handshake.
3- Be careful about your non-verbal body language.
4- Be an active listener, think before you answer.

@lavaa____@maisa__26 You're right. Mr. Badar Al Shidi said, an interviewee was asked: how did you come here? He thought "Waht a stupid question" then gave a short answer. Where in fact the job he was applying for focuses on the details, so he failed to give the correct answer.

@hameeda19999@BadarShid True. For the second question, ending the interview is the right choice. This can be done politely by asking if there are any notes or feedback you can benefit from and when should you expect them to respond.
#iPrep4Future
@osamoz_ That's right, especially the essential skills. Additionally, for honesty sake, if you mention a weakness, back it up with the solution. #iPrep4Future
Did you know that your CV can be ignored due to simple mistakes?
Here are some examples:
- A blank email, only the CV attached
- Informal email address
- spelling mistakes
- Lots of explanations

"Happened in a company" of 3000 CVs, only 4 are being interviewed!
Make sure to market yourself well and be creative.
The same company is ready to go over budget and hire more because they have some great CVs.

To prepare for a job interview, you must be a research freak ๐ค. Research everything from your personality, skills, and specialty to the organization, the job you're applying for, and the employer. Then find out about current events. And know the interview process.

Keep in mind, an interviewer is not looking for your answer but the way you're answering. The normal answer for 2ร2 is 4. A smart salesperson will say more than 2 because he/she needs to exceed the target. So, know your position and answer accordingly.

During a job interview, use the STAR approach to demonstrate a skill you have. Mention the Situation you went through, what your Task was, the Action (s) you took, and finally what the Result was.

Remember when writing your CV, keep it short and simple. Managers' time is limited, they spend only few seconds on each CV. They focus on your skills, experiences, and projects. So be sure to mention them without explanation. ๐๐
