Before your interview with a member of our team, there are some important steps you should take. Be optimally prepared!
We recommend that you take a few moments to reflect and ensure that the eSSentiel opportunities really correspond to your personal interests and skills. We have included some questions for you in the following section.
Relax! Although it is normal to feel nervous before an interview, you should know that this meeting is primarily intended to highlight your value. There are no trick questions! In fact, your previous challenges may be positive tools that make you even more willing to do this work.
Think about your best qualities. Be creative, get to the bottom of this reflection. What are they? What about your challenges at work? What do you find satisfying in life and what are you most proud of? What makes you angry or frustrated?
How to ensure the eSSentiel opportunities are for you?
Let’s face it, eSSentiel roles are not suitable to all profiles. For our agency and our team members, happiness is paramount and we want you to thrive in our clients’ environments. Therefore, ask yourself these valuable questions before our interview in order to determine if you have a real desire to work in these types of environments. In our opinion, the collaboration must be a win-win situation for both parties and we want to emphasize your sense of accomplishment at work.
- According to you, what is a vulnerable clientele? In our case, it is mainly elderly people, but it can also be sick people or children.
- Do you want to work with a vulnerable clientele? Do you feel like you can take on this kind of challenge?
- Do you have a human experience with a vulnerable person to share? It is important to keep in mind that any experience of you helping someone is a relevant one, whether it is personal or professional.
In the case of the three previous questions, note that there are no wrong answers or stupid questions.
