In this episode, we'll talk about: - How employers are changing and what they are looking for - Applying for a job, when is the best time? - Tips on nailing the virtual interview - The importance of virtual team collaboration - Much more... Everybody's got some excuse for why they can’t move ahead. “My work’s not good enough.” “The timing just isn't right.” “I don’t have the courage.” “I am never going to get there.” Fear of the unknown can keep us stuck, both personally and professionally. But nothing is going to get you farther along than deeply understanding who you are, what an employer needs and the process to make that connection. Sure, they may see your great work, but they’re unsure how long it took you to get there. They don't know if you are a great team member, a generous collaborator, and ultimately, if you can do your very best under pressure. You have to take the time to understand the process—otherwise, you’ll never know where you might have gone wrong in the past. ------- Connect with Petrula Vrontiks here: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petrulavrontikis Website: http://www.35k.com/ #jobsearch #job #work #jobinterview === 🚀 Futur Accelerator The step-by-step blueprint and coaching program designed to get your creative business off the ground: https://thefutur.com/accelerator 🥇 Futur Pro The professional creative community designed to grow your personal brand, your business, and your network: https://thefutur.com/pro ✍️ Other Courses, Templates, and Tools: https://thefutur.com/shop 🎙 The Futur Podcast: https://thefutur.com/podcast Recommended books, tools, music, resources, typefaces & more: https://thefutur.com/recommendations Music by Epidemic Sound: http://share.epidemicsound.com/thefutur Shorts Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/@thefutur/shorts We love getting your letters.
