We're all influenced by the impalpable connection between gaining early career experience and raking in years of experience to get better outcomes at work.

And it's not our fault. Many modern companies claim to seek 'beginner-level' professionals but look for 3-4 years of experience among these beginners.

It's difficult to break the cycle and pursue different work industries, weigh in multiple options, and take an exploratory route with your early career over sticking to one role and progressing from there right from the start.

But we're excited to speak with Beatrice A. Cord, Global Partnerships Lead at Endeavor and somebody who's traversed through many career routes such as marketing, public diplomacy, sustainable development, youth leadership, and more.

Beatrice recounts her experience exploring different career choices, entrepreneurship, and the perspective of not limiting oneself to one choice.

Well, the POV of an interview you're most aware of is from the candidate's perspective, as to what and how to speak to recruiters to get that job secured.



But what exactly goes on in the mind of a recruiter?



In every interview, recruiters have their inklings and beliefs that get shaped right from the first impressions to what they analyse during the interview. Mostly, these invisible factors influence their decision over whatever a candidate may be on paper.



We're excited to welcome Caroline Cooke, Founder & Managing Director of Cornhill Consultancy to share her thoughts and insights into the behind-the-scenes of what goes on in the mind of a recruiter at each interview.

Ah, the world of sales! Can’t bear it, can’t live without it.

Sales is a department that has been historically playing around the boundaries of being annoying and being assertive and essential. This is arguably the industry that influenced the creation of spam folders, but it’s also the industry that finalises huge deals and partnerships to the light of day.

We all have something to persuade when stepping into the professional world, and for almost everyone, it’s persuading potential recruiters of your talent, intent and ambitions.

But whatever it may be, it’s essential to get updated on the latest trends that hover over sales, and what techniques have been polished to perfection in 2024.

We’re pleased to have collaborated with Yash Dave, Global Partnerships Associate at Capital Placement, to shed light on the latest techniques and transitions that have occurred in the industry.

Have you ever wondered who sets the 'set rules' of a workplace? Ever found yourself baffled by certain workplace quirks?



Everything from dress codes to corporate jargon wildly differs depending on each company. Some organisations take themselves too seriously, and some of them just stress the important things that matter.



In this current workplace climate, we're taking a look at 'modern normality', where we judge workplace scenarios found on Reddit, and determine whether they are acceptable or not under present conditions.



We're pleased to welcome back Nan Dondashe, Senior Recruitment Specialist at Capital Placement, to join our host to go over multiple Reddit stories and opine about weird workplace occurrences.

An interview is a session of impeccable judgement. You're judged on the way you talk, sit, sound and more.



Like it or not, this goes a very long way into how they assess you for the role in question.



While on one side of the spectrum, you can take measures to be presentable and come prepared, on the other side some things that might not be obvious to you but would be for the recruiters can come off as off-putting or undesirable in a potential candidate.



To delve into the topic, we're excited to have welcomed Vinay Vimalan, CEO at Capital Placement, and Mandri Hettiarachchi, Global Partnerships Manager at Capital Placement. They are here to share their biggest hiring icks and worst instances during interviews that immediately come off wrong.
