Last weekend Career Angels had a chance to participate once again in a truly inspiring event “Strefa Zmian”.
Lecture #1
Sandra Bichl held a workshop “A good CV, being…? The art of creating application documents”.
The workshop was very practical as we worked on a CV that one of the participants agreed to share. This way we went through all the elements of a good CV structure, pointing out all mistakes & suggesting how to improve each section. All that with one goal in mind: to create a perfect CV that will secure lots of interviews.
The participants were engaged and wanted to know things like:
- How do you write a good profile summary?
- What contact details should be included?
- Is adding a photo a good idea?
- What should they do with “irrelevant” work experience or breaks?
Lecture #2
Anna Zadrożna and Izabela Michaliszyn held workshop on interviews: “An interview – what to say and how to say it to get a job”. The participants got a chance to ask the most niggling questions they had related to interviews, e.g.:
- How do you present yourself professionally?
- What is the proper interview dress code?
- Should you always reveal your salary expectations?
…and how to answer the most tricky interview questions themselves, e.g.:
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
- What are your 3 major strengths / weaknesses?
- What is your motivation to join our company?
