@Artemix Thank you! I was being driven mad and I'm having stress already only by thinking the prospective interviews.
-
@Electrux I wasn't planning to do that. However I've come to realise each recruiter has their own requirements.
-
@Qaldim yea... true... but just be urself... it most certainly gives a self satisfaction, motivation, and a good feeling for urself ππ
-
@Electrux Haha, true that! I'll try be a more aggressive candidate. I did it on my best interview (so far) and proposed me 2 different positions. π

@Qaldim wow awesome!!! ππππ»ππ»
Go ahead and BURN IT!!!! π₯π₯π₯

I went to a CV Workshop organized by my first school. The presenter was the slightly-arrogant/know-it-all/cool type of guy who's a recruiter and also has his own company he runs. The presentation was OK, even though it took longer than announced. However, there were some things that bugged me. He expects everyone somehow to be extraordinary. Granted he works as a recruiter and his clients would like only the cream of the top, but some of the examples he gave from his personal experience, he seemed to give more gravity on other traits of the candidates than their achievements and qualifications (e.g. rejecting a candidate because she had posted a photo of her clubbing on Facebook). Also, somehow he judges candidates based on their parents profession. Lucky me that I fall into the category he dislikes. Now the fun part (sorry for the long post):
Next week there's a career day. I sent my CV as soon as I got the mail and then I also phoned the person in charge (as per the instructions). Yesterday on the workshop it was said we should resend our CVs by tomorrow on another mail? No problem you may think, but that said recruiter will take a look on them and that means I will have to rework mine just to make sure it is to his liking. I'm no fan of writing mission statements, nor trying to guess what my qualities (aka soft skills) are because what I think I am doesn't mean I actually am.
So now, I'm in a dilemma. Just send the CV as is or get a mental breakdown just so to please that person?
Thanks everyone for your patience and time, I just wanted to pump some steam out me...
