In addition, Frilyn noted the importance of making a good first impression when applying for a job. She stated “since the pandemic is still going on and many people are still in lockdown in the Philippines, I have shared with them the new digital recruitment process and current hiring trends so they can be prepared and find ways to make their interview more engaging despite social distancing restrictions”. To encourage participant engagement during the event, Frilyn also asked for answers to many common interview questions such as “ why should we hire you?”, “what makes you stand out from other candidates?”, ” what benefits of yours serve as added value to a company?”. Frilyn expressed how common these questions are, and how difficult it is to answer them if you are unprepared.
Frilyn summarised that “overall the event was excellent, I feel honoured and delighted that I was invited to speak at this event and hopefully I was able to give them the necessary knowledge and tools to help our national heroes find potential employment”.
