At Delta Medical, we pride ourselves on finding and nurturing top talent across our operations in 13 countries.
Our HR Director, Olga Volchenko, a respected expert in the pharmaceutical industry, recently shared her expertise on succeeding in job interviews.
Here are the key takeaways from her insights:
What Employers Really Seek
- Alignment with Company Values: More than just skills, employers look for candidates who genuinely share the company’s vision and values.
- Self-Awareness: Understanding your own career goals and desires is crucial. Be honest with yourself about what you want.
- Creative Problem-Solvers: Even in traditionally “rigid” roles like accounting or law, the ability to think outside the box is highly valued.
Delta Medical’s Unique Hiring Approach
At Delta Medical, we go beyond traditional interviews:
- Practical Case Studies: Candidates tackle real-world scenarios to demonstrate their problem-solving abilities.
- Comprehensive Testing: We use a 28-question assessment covering numerical, verbal, and logical-graphic skills.
- Motivation Questionnaire: This helps us understand what drives you, allowing us to tailor motivational programs to individual needs.
Olga Volchenko’s Top Tips for Interview Success
- Be Authentic: Don’t try to be someone you’re not. A job should be a good fit for both parties.
- Communicate Openly: Be tactful but honest about your likes, dislikes, and what’s important to you.
- Showcase Your Achievements: Highlight specific accomplishments from your previous roles. Explain how your past experiences can benefit your potential new employer.
Remember, an interview is your opportunity to demonstrate how you can help the company achieve its goals. Be prepared to illustrate your value with concrete examples.
