Hey👋

Welcome to Green Jobs Rising!

James Watare, Managing Director and Human Resource Consultant/Career Adviser at Executive Jobs Hub, says:

Too often, I hear job seekers say they’re just hoping the company will "take a chance" on them.  But here’s the truth: the company has a need, and you’re a potential solution. They wouldn’t invest time interviewing you if they didn’t believe you could do the job.

He adds: 

Stop walking into interviews trying to say what you think they want to hear.  Instead, come in with curiosity and clarity:

  • How can you bring real value to this team and company? 

  • What unique strengths or experiences do you bring to their culture?

  • Is this the right fit for you, too?

Ask questions. Listen. Engage in a real conversation. The most successful candidates aren’t trying to “sell” themselves, they’re focused on building a connection and finding the right match.
