Each step counts for a good impression: - Pre-interview: preparing your resume, looking for help with experts, writing down questions, etc. - Arriving in the local of the interview or connecting in a videoconference link always a few minutes before to avoid any delay. - When you meet the interviewer: establish eye ; shake hands and be respectful verbally and non-verbally. - During interview: you are there also to listen. Not only to talk about yourself. Also, while talking about your experience, control your time to avoid talking more than 7 minutes in a row. Stop to check the understanding and if the interviewer needs more detail in the experience that you're sharing. - At the end: Ask for next steps and thank the other party.

There are some questions that you know that will come at some point during an interview, they are predictable. So, beforehand talk to experts, friends and search in the internet within an expert network to find out the most common questions. You should be prepared to answer this questions against each moment of your career. Additionally, think on the most important projects you've participated and take notes on their results and how your contribution had an impact on them. Also, think on tough situation at work, where you were less successful and take notes of your learnings and how you used them to succeed in another moment of your career. While answering the questions act in a calm and confident way.

Researching the company is one of the first steps I'd recommend a candidate to do. Reading company's news, understanding their strategy, values and culture and the latest results will help you in being more accurate in your search for the opportunity and will increase the likelihood of you 1) succeed in the interview and 2) to develop a rewarding path in the targeted organization. With this "homework" prior to the interview you'll be able to make the right questions and will have a background to your answers in order to demonstrate a connection between your experience and what the company is looking for.

The main question is: what is your perception around what you consider to be a clear communication? Perhaps your vision is different that your team's view on what should be the best way to communicate with them. As with any other process to understand a customer, in this context should work similarly: ask your team what is the best way to communicate with them and tell them what is your communication style. People work differently and perception is an individual view on something, which is always different than the way the other may perceive a situation. Considering that, after asking and understanding your team's best way to work, try to reach to a middle point where all the parties understand what's coming from the other side.

Choosing a facilitator might not be an easy task as this role requires skills such as active listening, a humble attitude and ability to navigate according to the audience. I'd also add flexibility and creativity in order to be able to deal with unexpected questions and provocations that may derail the main objective of the session. The facilitator must have in mind that a group is never identical to the previous one. From my experience, I've seen skillful facilitators and also facilitators that let themselves impacted by the provocations that came from the group, which had a backlash reaction in the audience that was not healthy for the discussions.

Much has been said about wellness lately, especially after the pandemic, however organizations are still trying to find the best way to promote a healthier environment. And, that means not only from the infrastructure point of view but mainly from a holistic and integrated view of the employee within the workplace. With that said, FM and HR can coordinate comprehensive wellness strategies targeting physical, mental and financial wellness. A combination of these factors will bring a deeper approach, which still can be simple and objective. Instead of random architecture projects with high costs and not so good outcomes, initiatives such as fostering healthier habits mixing technology and workplace can be the path we are looking to achieve.
