【Origin Stories - Kass Monzon , Co-founder/CEO of Workbean AW#21】
I never anticipated becoming an entrepreneur. In fact I made every effort not to. My dad was an entrepreneur, and my brother ended up starting his own company as well. I wanted to do something different, chart my own path.
I dove head first into the corporate world, racking up logo and after logo in internships and early work experiences, eventually building up a pretty good career in sales. That eventually led me to a reputable multinational tech company based out of SG, where I became the youngest employee ever to take on the role of regional account manager.
I thought it was everything I wanted. But reality soon set in. In fact, I was miserable. The culture was the complete opposite of what I was expecting. It was extremely cutthroat, with no sense of inclusion or belonging. My work was constantly devalued despite hitting all my numbers, and whatever I did and no matter how much effort I put in, felt like it was never enough.
I ended up suffering from clinical depression. It was perhaps the lowest point in my life. But it also made me dig deep to really think about what it means to be happy at work, and how to properly educate yourself when looking for a job.
Not long after, I moved back to the PH to start Workbean. Two years in now and I’ve never looked back. There’s of course been many sleepless nights, and I’m constantly ripe with imposter syndrome, but hearing stories of job seekers finding their dream jobs, where they can learn, add value, and feel a sense of belonging has been a powerful driver to get me through the days.

add value to the company 在 AppWorks Facebook 的精選貼文
If you are currently interviewing or looking to add talent to your team, try looking past expertise and take these two qualities into account - people who show initiative and those that have been through adversity, why:
1/ Initiative is contagious.
2/ People with initiative are willing to learn new things, they’ll take on new responsibilities and master their role, all the while spreading their enthusiasm and willingness within their team. Especially in the early-stage startup environment, teams need willingness and hustle to flourish. Expertise is much harder to diffuse.
3 / To identify their initiative, ask candidates about what they were interested in and to what degree did they pursue these interests? This could be anything from painting to knitting, the more obsessed someone is with something, the more they are motivated to learn.
4/ Overcoming adversity brings maturity.
5/ People who have overcome adversity have courage, can stomach ambiguity, and have a track record of beating the odds. These are all critical qualities for early-stage founding team members. These qualities are much more important than how long they held X position for Y period of time at Z company.
6/ What are the hardest problems they had to overcome? How did they prevail and how did these events define them as a person? These questions not only shed light on their origin story but also showcases their value and personality on a much more tangible and human level.
7/ At the end of the day, companies are about people and people are more than just their degrees and resumes. To improve the qualities of your future hires, hire people who take initiative and have overcome adversity.

This marks as my 5th out of my 6 part series on becoming a better founder. I have learnt so much writing out these ideas and thoughts that's been in my head for months! I hope they have brought some value to you. Tune back to my last piece on Wednesday the 27th.
Cheers,
Jack

🔎第五階段:面試
🔺Part 2 :面試前,你所需要的六項準備!
1️⃣ 妥善安排面試細節
收到面試通知後,務必與公司確認日期、時間、地點、面試流程,以及是否有需要特別準備資料或證明文件。若是前往較遠的地方面試,可主動詢問是否有提供車馬費補助,甚至提出用網路面試 先確認彼此的意向。 最後,妥善安排前往面試地點的交通方式,一定要提早到達目的地。
2️⃣ 做好最好的行銷術
面試,其實就是行銷自己及作品。 最好的行銷手法,就是運用你的個人魅力把自己的作品及自己推銷給公司。 在英國面試,除了最基本的著裝禮儀要注意,另外建議你別太謙虛,請盡量把豐功偉 業、最優秀的一面完全展示出來,所以請列下一些你的優點、經驗、價值,那些能擊 敗其他應徵者的能力,不害臊的多次練習!
3️⃣ 知己知彼,互相呼應作品
從公司網站、報導、做過的案子,了解公司文化,以便在面試時,能適時吹捧幾個你欣賞的設計,展現你與公司的理念特別相近!相反地,你可以轉化你作品集的性質, 把作品介紹得更投其所好,以增加作品的討論度。另外也建議事先了解一下你的面試官,查看公司網站或Linked in搜尋其經歷,可以想一想什麼東西會引起他們的注意力。
4️⃣ 投其所好的作品集
面試時,除了帶上當時申請時的作品集,建議可以帶上比較1-2個完整的作品序列,並且是針對那個公司的性質而有所準備的。
5️⃣ 了解職務範圍和該職務酬勞
請再詳讀一遍徵人廣告,徹底了解職務範圍,並聯想這個職務在公司組織裡扮演什麼角色位置? 會有什麼挑戰?若是有工作經驗者,上一份工作有沒有相似的難題,而你如何成功克服?更重要的是:你對這個職務有沒有什麼想法?你的加入可以帶給公司什麼?另外也別忘了普查好類似職缺的酬勞範圍,通常面試最後會問你希望的待遇,建議可以明白且有自信地和他們說你理想的薪水。
6️⃣ 對公司的好奇心
你想要更了解公司什麼?面試是雙向的,因此也建議你準備好一些問公司的問題,以展現出你對該公司頗有研究、且相當有興趣,在面試過程中,問問題是能適時拉近距離的,保持自信、積極的態度,並試圖去開啟或延長話題,讓對方感受到你對公司的熱情與好奇心。

🔍 Stage 5:Interview
🔺 Part 2:6 steps for preparation before an interview
1️⃣ Arranging & confirming interview details.
After receiving the interview notice, be sure to confirm the date, time, venue, interview process with the company and if you need to prepare and bring any specific documents or certifications. If you are traveling to a location that is quite far, you can try to ask if the company is willing to subsidize your transportation fees or if they are comfortable settling for a video interview instead.
Remember to arrange for your transportation in advance to the interview location and always arrive earlier than your expected time.
2️⃣ Deploy your best marketing skills.
An interview is all about selling yourself and your works to the company and for the job position, it is not about bragging how good you are, be careful of the difference!
The best technique is using your personal charm to market yourself. When preparing for an interview in the UK, other than paying attention to basic dressing etiquettes and formalities, do not be too humble as well. Try your best to display your merits, experience and value that can defeat other candidates. Do not be shy and rehearse your interviews often so that you do not get nervous during the real deal!
3️⃣ Resonating your works with the company.
It is crucial that your portfolio resonates with the company’s ethos. Learn and familiarize yourself with these details from the company website, reports and projects that they might have done. This helps you to engage deeper in conversation during the interview.
You could talk about a few of their projects which you admire. How it has influenced or inspired you and how your design beliefs and interest is similar to the company. Alternatively, you could also show a portfolio that is more aligned with what the company does so that you can discuss your works on a deeper level with them.
It is also recommended that you know your interviewers in advance so that you understand what draws their attention and what conversation topics will engage them. Check the company's website, LinkedIn, or even a google search to read up on your interviewers profile, articles they have written before and their experiences.
4️⃣ Portfolio’s target audience.
Other than bringing your portfolio works sent in during application, it is recommended that you bring an additional 1-2 completed works targeted towards the design nature of the company.
5️⃣ Understand the work scope and remunerations of the job.
Read the recruitment advertisement again, understand the scope of works and think of how the job plays a role within the company organisation. What would be the challenges? What are the takeaways from the job? Evaluate and weigh out these elements.
If you have had work experiences, did you meet similar challenges with your previous job? How did you manage to overcome them? More importantly, what are your views and thoughts about the job position. What can you value-add to the company?
In addition, don’t forget to check out the remuneration packages of similar job vacancies. Towards the end of the interview is where you would be asked about your ideal salary range and job package details – overtime pay, travel sick leaves, vacation days, insurances, time flexibility etc.
Consider the package in whole and negotiate clearly and confidently. It is important that you display a balance between your financial concerns and genuine interest and desire for the job. Avoid being too eager and overbearing during these talks.
6️⃣ Your curiosity towards the company.
What else do you want to learn about the company? An interview goes both ways; hence it is recommended that you prepare in advance some questions that you would like to ask the company as well.
This not only shows your deep interest towards the company but also helps to establish a closer connection between both parties. Be confident and enthusiastic, try to engage and extend the conversation topic or even start new ones. Let the company feel your excitement and curiosity!
