Early Career Academy by CCC

Interviews can be scary and stressful 👻

There are also a lot of myths surrounding them.

Today I would like to debunk some of them 🔨

Swipe left to find out the most common ones ⬅️

Are you ready to ace your upcoming job interview? 🤩

One of the most important parts of interview preparation is being ready to respond effectively to the questions that employers typically ask.🙋‍♀️

Since these interview questions are so common, hiring managers will expect you to be able to answer them smoothly and without hesitation. Here’s your chance to practice your answers in advance. 🗣

What other questions would you like to know answers to? Leave them in the comments below and we will cover them in Part 2 📗

What makes the difference between an unsuccessful job seeker and a successful one?And which one are you? 🤔Most of these comparisons are mindset shifts. Working on your strategy, calculating your moves is part of a journey of a successful job seeker. 🏆Everything starts with your mindset. And if it’s not programmed for success, well you won’t reach success!Are you guilty of any of these? 👀

GUILT CAN'T CHANGE THE PAST, ANXIETY CAN'T CHANGE THE FUTURE

You'll make mistakes during your job search, don't beat yourself up about them, assess, learn and improve for the future

It's also important to remember there is an end to your job search, you just need to keep pushing, the next could be the last, the next call, the next interview, the next application

So don't feel guilty about your mistakes, learn from them

And don't feel anxious about the future, your time will come

THE WORST THING TO HEAR FROM RECRUITERS

EMPLOYERS - Ghosting is one of the main contributors to job seekers decline in enthusiasm and self belief

Putting in hours of work to hear nothing back is demoralising. Just a no is better than nothing

JOB SEEKERS - If you’re at interview stage, don’t leave your responses up to chance! Book in your feedback calls

“I’m free Wednesday at 2pm for the interview for an hour. What time next Wednesday are you free for a 15 minute feedback call”

THERE’S NO ELEVATOR TO SUCCESS - YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE STAIRS

WHICH STEP HAVE YOU REACHED TODAY?

A job search is like any goal in life

First you have to want to do it

Then you have to find out how

And then finish with the confidence and self belief to reach the final step

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO FIND SUCCESS

A lot of professionals I coach feel pressure to be successful

"If I don't get into that uni I won't make my parents proud"

"My friends from school won't respect me"

"I don't know what I want to do"

Some of the most successful people in the world didn't work out their purpose until much later on in life

So don't stress, enjoy the journey and don't judge yourself by how or what others are doing

Run your own race at your own pace
