Tim Ferriss, author of the best-seller “The 4-Hour Workweek”, in his thought-provoking TED presentation talks about why it is worth defining our fears instead of (or right next to) defining our goals. Tim’s unusual approach to first hearing is rooted in Stoic philosophy and he claims that it’s especially worthwhile to do so when making difficult decisions.

Based on your CV, you form a first impression of yourself on the employer. There is no mumbo jumbo here, it has to be perfect, because it is a marketing material. Its purpose is to get a face-to-face meeting with the future employer. Let’s see what is worth paying attention:

As a university student you may have felt that 24 hours were not enough. Term papers, presentations, group tasks, tests and on top of everything else the exam period. Don’t be under any illusions, it won’t be easier later either. Likewise, when you get to work, you will be overwhelmed by deadlines, and a day will also consist of only 24 hours.

 

1. Tip: Prepare thoroughly

You can make a good impression by taking time to collect information about the company beforehand. Look around in their website, try to find out as much as possible about them, you can read media articles and blog posts. If you have the opportunity, ask your acquaintances, perhaps someone can provide first-hand information about what it is like to work for the chosen company. If you are prepared you will be less stressed during the interview.

One of the key elements of a successful career start is the professional experience, which you can gain during your studies. As you may have heard, entering the job market as a fresh graduate is not easy. You have to compete with candidates with years of experience to get the job you are applying for, and you will likely find some acquaintance who are now your mates waiting for the interview.
