Tips
INTERVIEW
When you receive an invitation for an interview or job offer, always verify that the company actually exists. Be cautious of offers promising unusually high salaries (above market average). Ensure that there are no fees for psychological tests or resume writing.

DURING THE INTERVIEW
- In today's fast-paced world, staying up to date is essential—even when preparing for job interviews. Traditional advice, such as researching the company and dressing professionally, is no longer enough.
- Companies are increasingly looking for creative individuals with strong problem-solving skills. Here are some unexpected questions you might encounter and tips on how to prepare for them:
If you were an animal or a tree, which kind of animal or tree would you be?
If you decide to choose a tree, pick a tree that is strong and maybe adored by many people, like an oak, but not something weak. In case you choose an animal, select an animal that is intelligent and strong, like a lion or tiger. Never pick animals that are cuddly or fluffy.
If you were a Star Wars or Star Trek character, who would you be?
This question is straightforward, but also tricky at the same time since they want to test your personalities. Therefore, whenever such kind of question pops up, ensure that you select a character who is a leader and a risk taker. Characters like Captain Kirk, Spock, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Sarek and other related characters are the perfect answers for such kind questions.
If aliens visited you and asked you for anything you wish for or gave you a position on their home planet, what can you choose?
The answer you give tell your employer more about your professional goals as well as your creativity.
Who is your favorite, your dad or mom?
You should be careful when answering this question. NEVER give an answer which indicates the challenges in your family, preferential treatment or gender preference during the interview. Your answer should pinpoint what each parent has taught you, and how they have helped you to become the person you are now.
What´s your favorite color?
Choose a color that you can explain something about it and associate to a positive aspect of your life.
Describe the color yellow to some who is blind:
The idea is to see your creativity. Yellow is like spring. It is a light and warm color that makes me feel happy.
