My
name is Juliana Rabbi and I will present here a series of 11 videos in which I
will be sharing some of my knowledge in the Human Resources area, especially as
a Recruiter. I choose some aspects related to the interview process that I
consider relevant, contemporary and useful for candidates and interviewers, and
I want to divide that with you.
I
have a Psychology Degree, a post-graduation course in Psychodrama and a Master
Degree in Human Resources Management. My main work experience in the last decade
has been in Human Resources departments, especially in Recruiting and
Selection. When I talked to people about my jobs and my experience with
interviews, more than once I heard that my stories were interesting and helped
them to think about the selection process in a different way.
One
day, I decided to create a blog and record some videos. It is very nice
when I am surfing on internet and I find an interesting article that helps me
to rethink about my professional career, about my work, about my relationship
with the candidates, coworkers and supervisors. I feel thankful for those
people who took their time to share that. So why not to do the same? Why not to
share a little bit of what I have learned in many years of experience?
I
know what I know today because I studied and worked hard for many years, but
also because other people shared their expertise with me during this process.
Those people I met along the way helped me to grow, and some of them not even
realize that. There is another interesting aspect of sharing knowledge, which
is: when I think about what I do and exercise putting it into words,
it helps me to clarify my ideas and my own thoughts. Today, I am proud of
myself that I have something to share here!
I
am very excited about this new project, and I am putting all my energy and
effort on it. Not everybody has a blog or videos on YouTube, so I found it an
interesting thing to work on it. On the other hand, I know many people that
have blogs and videos, very professional ones by the way. The information on
those blogs was helpful to me in different moments of my life. If some people
could be useful sharing what they know, I can also do it!
The
videos are going to be recorded in English, and you can subscribe to my YouTube
channel by clicking here.
As you probably could noticed already, English is not my native language. So
why did I decided to speak in English in those videos? It would be much easier
for me to do that in my native language but I decided not to go for it. Then, why
is that?
First,
because it is challenging to me to speak in a foreign language, and I like
challenging situations. I like to do some extra work and search for some
specific words I need to use. I like to keep my attention in a high level when
I am speaking to be able to express my idea, and I have to do that using
English. I want to do something that motivates me to go beyond and really put
effort, energy and concentration in what I am doing. Recording those videos in
my native language would be like putting my mind in an “automatic mode”, and I
don´t want that.
The
second reason is to show that we can achieve things we want to, if we prepare
ourselves and do it. I am sure I am going to do several spelling mistakes, or
mispronounce some words. So what am I planning to do? I will do my best. I am
able to express myself in English, and that is my main point here: if I can
express myself, I can share my experience, even if I am not speaking in my
native language.
I
have been using English for the last 8 years on daily basis at work, and I also
use it constantly with friends, in my free time, I read and write in English, I
watch movies, I act in English… so why not record the videos in English?
I
consider I can reach more people with English than I would do using the other
languages I can speak.
On
the process of deciding in which language I was going to record those videos, I
realized I was already enjoying being active in a project that was motivating
me. This experience is something new for me; I have never done anything
similar. The creation process that starts when you decide to go for a new
project is very powerful. Working on this project now is taking me out of my
comfort zone.
I
found already many excuses to forget about those videos and my blog and do not
“waste my time” with things like that. I thought about giving up several times.
However, there was a limit, an imaginary limit sometimes, other times a
commitment I did to myself, and once I crossed it, I didn´t feel like giving up
my project anymore.
If
you like my idea, I invite you to check my next posts and videos. Remember:
this is post number 1, and there will be 11 posts and videos in total about
recruitment and selection. As I mentioned, you will be able to find more about
it on YouTube on my channel and here on my blog “julianarabbi.blogspot.com”.
Thank
you very much for your time.
Do
your best and go ahead!
