1. What qualifications, skills, and personalities are more attractive
- Languages: Fluent English, Business Mandarin
Business level Mandarin is on very very high demand right now. To be able to speak and write are both important, but more so the speaking part. Most companies are trying to take a step into the Mainland China market, so they need people who can deal with Mandarin speaking clients. Anyone who speaks solid business Mandarin is automatically on the top of the job search food chain. And don't try to lie about your fluency level, you will be tested on the spot.
2. How to perform well in interviews
- Degree: Bachelors or above in an English speaking country
- Field: Solid experience in one field (don't be jumpy)
- International or MNC (multi-national corporation) exposure, regional role
2. How to perform well in interviews
- Job duties & Achievements: give specific examples
- Skills: read the job description and tailor your skills to that specific role, or explain why skills are highly transferrable.
- Presentation: pay attention to what you wear (suit up!), your hair, your makeup, and your face
- Personality: outspoken, communicative, proactive, positive attitude
- Ask good questions: shows that you care about the role, and you're prepared
1) What a day in the life of the role?
2) Describe an idea candidate for this position
3) What has made you successful in the job and why have you stayed in the company for so long?
4) What do people find most difficult when they initially join?
5) What is the most rewarding aspect about this job?
6) What is the career growth path like?
3. Things to watch out
- Motive for switching jobs
- Jumpy CVs / Gaps in CVs
Gaps in your CV means an unreasonable time frame in between jobs. If you were unemployed and not in the job market for too long, that doesn't look good. You have to be able to come up with a legit reason on why you were not working for 6 months.
Fluffy a CV is kind of different. You can use big words to describe your job or you can just copy the entire job description, but a hiring manager will be able to see right through you on whether you have solid skills or you were just an admin supporting newbie that didn't learn much or achieve much in your last role. Be prepared to elaborate on what you did.
Some of these might sound harsh, but I'm just trying to represent everything as accurate as possible. Again, these points might not all apply to everyone. Depending on seniority or industry, certain interview process and things that hiring managers look for will be different. But I hope you will find at least one of these points to be helpful for your job hunting process.
