International Jobs’ Post

I recently had the privilege of applying for a role at Diageo and the experience left a surprising lasting impression on me. Even though I wasn't successful in securing the position, I feel compelled to share the outstanding candidate experience I encountered. From the very beginning, Diageo's approach stood out as exemplary. Not only did they address me personally by name in their response, but they also took the time to express genuine appreciation for my application. A reminder that a small gesture of gratitude makes a big difference and underscores their commitment to valuing every candidate. Diageo did not simply end the correspondence with a polite rejection. Instead, they proactively directed me to their careers page, inviting me to explore other opportunities within their organization, demonstrating their genuine interest in nurturing talent and fostering long-term relationships. But they didn't stop there. Recognizing that not every opportunity may be a perfect fit, they extended their support by offering insights into temporary contractor positions. This level of transparency and willingness to explore alternative avenues truly sets Diageo apart. What's more, they suggested valuable resources for enhancing my job search, offering tips and guidance from their recruiting team. What an incredibly well scripted commitment to supporting candidates whilst highlighting their dedication to continuous improvement. So Diageo........ you have set the bar high when it comes to candidate experience. Your personalized approach, genuine appreciation, and comprehensive support truly exemplify best practices in recruitment. To all job seekers out there, I highly recommend keeping an eye on Diageo's career page for exciting opportunities and experiencing their exceptional candidate journey firsthand. #CandidateExperience #RecruitmentExcellence #Diageo #CareerOpportunities #JobSearchSuccess 🌟

There's often a romanticized view of moving to a new country without a job proposal in your field, *but* I would be lying if I said I didn't face challenges and rewards in the professional realm during this period. Here are some from my experience: Challenges: ‭• The frustration of job hunting in my field, thinking I might never be able to work in my area in Australia due to visa issues and lack of network 🛂🔍 ‭• Beginning to doubt my own abilities and seeking support and self-esteem in memories 💭 ‭• Adjusting to standing for long hours after 8 years of working in an office or from home 🏢➡️👟 ‭• Dealing with those who belittled me simply because of my accent or where I came from 🌏🗣️ Rewards: ‭• Putting myself in the shoes of those who work in customer service and truly living in contact with customers, something I hadn't experienced so intensely in over a decade 👞👥 ‭• Helping customers who had undergone significant changes, such as drastic weight loss or health issues, and making them feel more comfortable and confident in their new appearance—something that can sometimes be quite theoretical depending on which end of the design process you are working on.💪👖 ‭• Achieving recognition from my supervisors, earning multiple "Super Sale" certificates and placing 6th in a customer service ranking based on client surveys in the region 🥇📊 • Reaching the top 2 in sales volume during my period there, and consistently keeping KPIs in the “green,” exceeding the required targets 📈🔝 ‭• Significant improvement in my English, finally achieving fluency 🇦🇺📈 Despite the difficulties, these experiences have made me stronger and more resilient, and I'm grateful for my journey 💙 ❤️

Want to get ahead in your career? Always do that little extra which makes your client's, colleague's lives bit easier. Maybe just 0.01% easier? People appreciate that you went the extra mile, even if it is a small step. Examples: 1- Setting up a cross border online meeting? Talk to clients mentioning the time in their time-zone not yours. 2 - Send a status to your client even if the task is not completed yet. Just say that work is in progress. 3 - Making a document? Make sure it is done in a standard company template, not in a blank document. List goes on..... Every little helps (I learnt it from one of the companies I worked for - Tesco) !!

"Living and working in a different language has increased my cultural awareness" Casi, Purchasing Manager at Lidl International, has been part of #teamlidl for 5 years. She began her journey as a trainee in the purchasing department at Lidl GB, where she specialized in fish products. 🐟 Now, as part of the Lidl International Job Rotation Program, Casi has moved to Germany and is taking on a new challenge—working on baked goods and frozen desserts for the first time in her career! 🥨🍨 Having always lived in Great Britain, working in a non-English-speaking environment was initially daunting, but it quickly boosted Casi’s confidence. "At first, it was challenging, but it’s been a great way to grow both personally and professionally!" 💪 After five years in London, moving to a smaller German city was quite a change, but one she’s embraced wholeheartedly. "The area is so green, with vineyards, castles, and charming old towns to explore! Plus, it’s easier to travel to other European countries, which adds to the adventure." 🇬🇧🇩🇪 For anyone considering international experience, Casi’s advice is simple: "Be a ‘yes’ person, put yourself out there, and meet new people. Focus on what you'll miss about your new country when it's time to leave!" Have you ever pushed yourself out of your comfort zone for a new experience? 👇 #LidlInternational #LidlExpats #teamlidl 

👇In 2016, while working as a digital manager at Guinness Nigeria, I decided to transition into classical brand management. Unfortunately, there was no opportunity at Guinness so I had to look externally. If you know much about career transitioning, you’ll know that doing it externally is extremely difficult. It can be a Herculean task; to convince a new company to hire you into a role you’ve never done versus experienced candidates internally and externally. So, what was my plan? I had a simple trick up my sleeve. I reached out to two of the kindest and best brand managers and asked if I could shadow them on some projects. I did this for a few months to understand the underpinnings of brand management and to ensure I had enough breadth to talk about at an interview. So much so that I landed a brand management job at GSK! Before applying for a new job, if you know that a specific experience is essential for the role you're targeting, it's best to do what I did! Get the right hands on experience by shadowing and learning from someone. However, if you don't have the opportunity to gain direct experience in the role, find commonalities in your experience and speak about that. Here's an answer template for your use: Answer Template: "With [Number] years of experience in [Industry/Field], I've developed a strong foundation in [Transferable Skill] from my time at [Company] as [Position]. In my previous position at [Company] as [Position], I was responsible for [Related Tasks] and achieved [Specific Outcome]. My experience in [Related Field or Responsibility] has provided me with a solid understanding of the day-to-day activities involved in this role. I'm excited to leverage my skills and experience, which I know will be highly beneficial for this role." We hope this helps. Meanwhile, who’s heard the gist about Guinness Nigeria?
