Showcase your whole self: why personality, workstyle and character do matter for the final choice of candidate.

Our guest, Bertrand Willi, is a specialist in helping clients create positive work atmospheres in order to attract, retain and co-develop talented professionals at all levels. Most recently, as the facility manager for the Swiss Federal Railway system, he also manages a very large time across language, culture and ethnic origins, from technicians to sales and marketing roles. He gives us an insider's view of how in the final selection, often it comes down to the soft skills and potential for growth of the person who is chosen for the job, with the hard skills more important at the initial stages of selection. Once you have been invited for the interview cycle, both you and the company should be confident you could do the job, but are the position, the team and the company values the best fit for you, and vice versa? As always, we welcome your own experiences, feedback and suggestions at: <a href="mailto:absence_of_ego@sustainable-outreach.com" target="_blank">absence_of_ego@sustainable-outreach.com</a>. You can also reach out to Jamshid or Stephen on LinkedIn, too. ---------------------------------------------------------Credits Guest: Bertrand Willi Intro:Karin Hagemann Co-hosts: Stephen Fischer, LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/saffischer⁠⁠⁠Jamshid Asadzadeh, LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/jamshid-asadzadeh⁠⁠⁠⁠ MusicTheme music: Inside You - Leva (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/artist/4XWZhZ32YrVV5lvpF7cr1E?si=tnbSklR7SJyPNKiHP4MbHA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Interlude music: Futuristic Beat - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RoyaltyFreeMusic (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goo.su/janevo)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Outro music: "Cloud Dancer " Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Swimming with sharks: interviewing is not for the faint-hearted!

In this episode, we are again fortunate to have as our special guest Ms. Natalya Izergina, Senior Talent Acquisition Partner for CS Behring, doing what she knows best: interviewing kindly but persistently our second guest (and willing sacrificial lamb), Ms. Regina Fakhretdinova, a gifted mathematician about to finish her PhD in Mechanics. Luckily for her, Regina has a natural sense of calm, but as you will hear, it would still have been much less stressful if she had known how to prepare better for typical HR questions. Once again, you will enjoy the lively exchange and feedback from three perspectives on how to succeed in those nerve-wracking job interviews with non-specialists. You will also learn a lot about certain kinds of important analytical processes in the oil and gas sector as a bonus. Remember to share the link with friends and colleagues, and we love to hear from you about your own experiences. In fact, we may even invite you to be a guest on a future episode!

A Mock Interview So Real It's Scary

Two special guests put theory into practice in a genuine exchange between a real candidate and a very experienced recruiter. While we always delve into the mind games we have to face in different professional situations, and there are many in the interview cycles of recruitment, for the next two episodes we are fortunate to share with you "live" exchanges to both underline successful strategies and illustrate areas to focus on improving. Our special guest, Natalya Izergina, who brings more than 20 years' recruitment practice to the role play, is the Senior Talent Acquisition Partner at CSL Behring, a life sciences company, and in today's exercise, her willing "victim" is Andrei Variu, an astrophysicist cum data enthusiast who is currently making the transition from academia to industry, so the opportunity to have an exchange with a recruiter on the kind of HR questions which drive techies mad (like, "tell me about yourself") was too good to pass up. As a monitored exercise, he received feedback not only from Natalya but also from Jamshid and Stephen. We hope this and the next simulation will help you in your own job interview preparation. Let us know what you think and share any examples from your own experience of best practices and what to avoid at: <a href="mailto:absence_of_ego@sustainable-outreach.com" target="_blank">absence_of_ego@sustainable-outreach.com</a> ---------------------------------------------------------Resources STAR method: https://www.themuse.com/advice/star-interview-method---------------------------------------------------------Credits Guests: Natalya Izergina and Andrei Variu Intro:Karin Hagemann Co-hosts: Stephen Fischer, LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/saffischer⁠⁠⁠Jamshid Asadzadeh, LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/jamshid-asadzadeh⁠⁠⁠⁠ MusicTheme music: Inside You - Leva (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/artist/4XWZhZ32YrVV5lvpF7cr1E?si=tnbSklR7SJyPNKiHP4MbHA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Interlude music: Futuristic Beat - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RoyaltyFreeMusic (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goo.su/janevo)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Outro music: "Cloud Dancer " Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
