On the part of the company, it wants to confirm The job opportunity and the work environment are the best for the candidate, so it is not a condition that the one who is chosen is the best candidate in fact, but rather the best candidate who presented himself in a manner convincing the interviewee that he is the most suitable for the job is chosen.
Types of interviews
The one to one interview
The most common type of interview and the easiest type of interview compared to other types is the presence of the candidate to meet the recruitment officer, the human resources manager or the general manager, and the decision in this interview is often made after the completion of the examination of all the candidates directly, and this type is often adopted by medium and small companies.
Sequential interview
They are successive interviews, either planned and therefore sequential, or based on the performance of the candidate in the first interview, then he moves to the next, and the most famous of them is that there are tests for written skills, computer skills, or a test for scientific information, then it results in the nomination of a number of candidates for the oral interview, which can be divided into two phases. To measure professional competence, an interview to measure behavioral competence, then a final interview related to the job offer. This interview is conducted by large companies and institutions.

It is finding what differentiates you, building a reputation based on the attributes you want to be known for, and then promoting that reputation with the aim of monetizing it. With a simple definition, a brand is that unique combination of your name, data, ideas, experiences and skills, and it is this same combination that distinguishes you from everyone else.
The personal brand is built through many methods, the most important of which are writing, public lectures, and recording educational videos. It is also built using tools such as websites, personal accounts on social media, professional platforms, personal blogs, scientific journals, daily newspapers, and participation in public events and through all other means of publicity.
Why you should care about creating personal brands
When it comes to building a personal brand, some people dismiss the process as time consuming or not that important and this is true - a person will have to dedicate time and effort to building a personal brand properly, but the idea that building a personal brand is not important is wrong. This is because the future is for distinction between individuals and because there is a great growth in freelancing platforms or the work of freelancers, and building a brand enables you to provide your services directly, and building a brand enables you to start your own business.
The most important reason to focus on personal brands is to help the person himself by enabling himself to be independent with his skills at any moment he wants, and thus the person can work on his personal goals more and work in what he loves and desires more broadly because he is free from the obligation to work towards one job or institution.
Qurtoba offers training or coaching services to build a personal brand. Those wishing to build their personal brand can register by filling in their personal data in the Form.
