European Patent Office’s Post

96% of candidates haven’t read our job description when applying. And this makes me very sad. 🙁 For context: when I write a job description, I list a word a candidate must use when applying. For example: ‘Hot Dog’. It’s placed in the last sentence, in clear view. I don’t mind how it’s used: 1. On the CV 2. Cover letter 3. Shoot a DM etc For me, the couple of seconds of extra effort tells me a lot about the person. ✔️ They know what they are applying for ✔️ They are actively interested ✔️ They are proactive In the last 10 days, 200 people have applied for our open sales role - only 8 have used Hot Dog. Everyone knows what the job market is like right now. I genuinely want candidates to succeed. Here’s three reminders worth flagging to help anyone looking right now: 💡 Read and research before you apply 💡 Personalise your CV or cover letter 💡 Pick something you can do to stand out It takes a little longer to apply for things, yes. However, maybe it can put you ahead of 96% of others and land you the role you are looking for. I’m not a guru, but if anyone wants an extra pair of eyes to double check their CV, let me know 😊

Stop Hiring the Resume , Start Hiring the Attitude 😊

To the companies out there hiring for entry-level positions: why is there a requirement for prior experience when you’re seeking entry-level candidates? How are beginners like us expected to gain the necessary experience if no one is willing to hire us? We have the education and skills to apply to the roles you’re offering, so consider giving us a chance to prove our capabilities. 😶

Here’s my latest resume

Winstone K. Nnko Our biggest challenge is that interview panelists/employers structure their interview questions in a way that they aim to test if the interview candidate knows what they want to know instead of eagerly seeking to understand what the candidate knows! Anyway, the genesis of this starts in our examinations; they are structured in a way that covers a very small portion of what is taught in class, yet they are used to test our capacity and grade us. I wish that one day, students will enter the exam room for Biology and find only one question: "What have you learned in Biology?" Here is where we will discover how genius people are!
