1. WHAT COMPANIES
WANT FROMYOU

2. Often clients come to me asking for advice about what employers are
looking for in candidates. When it comes to GCC region, one of the most
important aspects of the interview is your personality and
understanding of the culture of the company. Aside from doing your
homework about the company, preparing list of strengths, stating why
you are a great candidate for the position, preparing excellent questions,
and choosing what to wear, showing your personality in a positive light
and showing that you understand the culture are on top of the list.

3. WHY PEOPLE DON’T GETTHE JOB:
They came unprepared and
Their personality did not fit the culture of the company.

4. UNDERSTANDINGTHE COMPANY CULTURE
• is vital during an interview
• Look up people who work at
the company; their work &
educational background
• Learn more about your
potential and future co-workers
• Ask your network and friends
about the company

5. SOMETHINGSYOU SHOULD CONSIDER
WHEN IT COMESTO COMPANY CULTURE:
• Does it fit my personality?
• Am I going to be happy in
this kind of culture?
• Do I see myself staying with
this company and growing?
• Does this company/job fit
my personal life and my
future goals?

6. DON’T PRETENDTO BE SOMEONEYOU’RE NOT
 Many people have two personalities; one they have for work and one they have
once they leave work. Eventually they get burned out and end up breaking down
in either their personal life or professional.
 You should be happy in the company and can be yourself and enjoy your co-
workers and the work that you do.
 You don't want to look back and realize that you spent all this time away from
your family at a job that made you miserable.
 Don't go into the corporate world if you don't enjoy it. Don't join a start up if you
don't like challenges and surprises in your work.

7. Do your homework. Do informational interviews to learn more
about the company you are interested in, it might not be what
you expect it to be or it might reassure your interest. It is better
to find out before you sign that contract. Informational
interviews are also great for networking.
