  Job interviews in the past How were job interviews in the past? A few years ago, interviews were conducted through vocational tests. On the basis of the results obtained, the company assigned the candidate the job in which it considered he/she best fit. Personal interests were not as present as they are today, where it is more interesting for the company to know "what you are like" and not "what you have studied". In addition, job interviews were much more formal: qualified training was much more valued, rather than key factors such as creativity, teamwork or leadership skills.   The "Dress Code" was fundamental. It was very important to make a good impression through formal dress. A cold-tone suit with a white shirt, cufflinks and shiny shoes were key. Now, there is a certain flexibility with our Outfits, especially if we aspire to creative positions or the company is smaller: jeans with a modern cut jacket, a more sporty look or a skirt with a ...

One day I received an email from Radar Program: 1-year English learning program for professional development. What makes the difference in this program concerning others is that you can self nominate.   I thought it was a very good idea to learn and break the daily monotony I was in, and at least I would practice English and not lose contact with the language.

When possible, take time off to relax and unwind, so you come back to work feeling reinvigorated and ready to perform at your best. When you're not able to take time off, get a quick boost by turning off your smartphone and focusing your attention on non-work activities for a while.   Learn how to relax.  Techniques such as meditation or deep breathing exercises can help melt away stress. Start by taking a few minutes each day to focus on a simple activity like breathing, walking or enjoy...
