My goal was to find a job in Finland suited to my skills and experience after moving here from the UK. I was getting interviews but the challenge was understanding the structure of interviews, and what the recruiter expected from me.
I prepared for the interviews by doing research on behavioral questions and reflecting on my own professional experience. After going through four stages of the interview process, I am now working at a company near Helsinki.
Apex Coaching for career helped me to identify my strengths in work-related behavior and how I could build on them. The career coaching is tailored to you so you will discuss your interests in a way that suits your journey and future career.
What I found most useful from Apex Coaching for career was exploring how an interview is structured and how to express your overall fit to the role and organisation. I recommend this service.
Hannah Roach, Recruitment Trainee
I relocated to Finland with my spouse and was eager to excel professionally. My main challenge was not knowing how to position myself in the job market. Applying for jobs, I often found it difficult to talk about my career, which included versatile professional roles and areas of expertise.
It is amazing how much support I received from many people and organizations in Finland to whom I owe this journey. The Spouse Program offered me free-of-charge career coaching sessions provided by Apex Recruit Solution & Coaching which was a breakthrough in my integration.
Apex Coaching for career made it easy for me to talk about my strengths and myself in a job interview. I got a better understanding of what unique skills I may bring to the team, what kind of people I would like to work with, and what values drive me in my professional life. It transformed my career path, and I am more than happy to start my new job with this knowledge, as I am confident that it will help me to grow further.
