If you are not new to the business and is looking for a new opportunity you'd expect to encounter the question "Why are you leaving your current job?", and we know how it could be difficult to answer this. Like, are you going to tell your next employer that you're leaving a bad boss? Will you tell them how toxic the work environment is? Are you going to BS your way? Is it possible to remain honest about your reason for leaving but don't sound negative?
In this episode, Your Fairy Job Brother will guide you on how to best approach this - without lying just to get through the interview!

As we continue the quest to help job seekers, Your Fairy Job Brother was fortunately invited to be a speaker at the Twitter Spaces hosted by Twitter PH and Lyqa Marivalla last 22 October. We talked about the best ways to answer some questions and how they can better prepare ahead of their interviews, and this pulled me out of the slumber... so here we are finally recording a new episode!
From the Twitter Spaces, we were asked what's the best way to answer "Tell me about yourself that's not in your resume?" and although we were able to touch on this I felt it lacked depth because of time constraints. So for the next episodes, you'll hear me talk more about these common questions you get during job interviews and give tips on how to best answer them.

Is it possible to find a new work amidst the pandemic?
Last June 2021, I became Nestlé Business Services Manila's new Talent Acquisition Partner and I also earned my first $5000 through freelancing. Whilst it wasn't what I initially planned, I was lucky to get this promotion and be offered more than double how much I was earning in 2020.
Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Totally yes!
Many thanks to Rey and Juju for sharing their experience with Your Fairy Job Brother about starting a new job this year.

Your expected salary during interviews is important!
We don't want you to end up getting shortchanged and we don't want you to jeopardize your application simply because you gave a figure that's way too much of their budget. How do you compute the right salary expectations for that role you're applying for?
Get yourself a calculator, pen and paper, Your Fairy Job Brother will teach you how to use the comparative ratio and how you can answer that dreaded question "How much is your expected salary?" during job interviews.

Are cover letters important?
A cover letter is a written document commonly submitted with a job application outlining the applicant's credentials and interest in the open position. It is a one-page document that introduces a job seeker's work history, professional skills, and personal interest in applying for a job.
Tune in to find out what makes a cover letter effective and how it increases your chances of landing a job interview with a potential employer.
