สัมภาษณ์งานในยุคโควิดควรเตรียมตัวอย่างไร และคำถามแบบไหนที่คุณอาจต้องเจอ?

by

ใช้โอกาสนี้เรียนรู้สิ่งใหม่ๆ

จากการศึกษาล่าสุดพบว่าการหางานในช่วงโควิดแม้จะยาก แต่ก็ใช่ว่าจะเป็นไปไม่ได้ ในขณะที่ภัยโควิด-19 สร้างหายนะให้ระบบเศรษฐกิจ และทำให้เกิดการว่างงานสูงเป็นประวัติการณ์ Mark Cuban เศรษฐีชาวอเมริกันผู้โลดแล่นในหลายวงการธุรกิจเชื่อว่ายังมีหนทางที่จะทำให้เหล่าผู้สมัครงานสามารถทำตัวเองให้โดดเด่นขึ้นมาจากคนอื่นได้ด้วยการ “เพิ่มสกิล” ยิ่งเป็นสถานการณ์ช่วงนี้ แน่นอนว่าคำถามแรกที่ผู้สัมภาษณ์จะถามคุณคงไม่พ้นคำถามที่ว่า “คุณได้เรียนรู้อะไรเพิ่มบ้างตลอดช่วงโควิดปี 2020?” หรือ “คุณได้สกิลใหม่ๆ อะไรมาบ้าง?” เขากล่าวแนะนำ

เพิ่มสกิลของคุณ

“ไม่ว่าคุณจะอยากทำงานที่ไหน จงใช้โอกาสนี้เพื่อที่จะทำมันให้ดีที่สุด และนั่นจะเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นให้โอกาสดีๆ เข้ามาหาคุณ ยิ่งคุณลองคิดว่ามันจะมีอะไรเกิดขึ้นต่อไป ทุกอย่างก็ดูจะเป็นเรื่องที่น่าตื่นเต้นขึ้นมาใช่ไหมล่ะ เพราะฉะนั้นจงอย่าหยุดที่จะเพิ่ม
สกิลให้ตนเอง ไม่ว่ามันจะเป็นสกิลใดๆ ก็ตาม คุณอาจจะอยากเป็นช่างเชื่อม อยากเรียนโปรแกรมคอมพิวเตอร์ หรือศึกษาเกี่ยวกับ AI นวัตกรรมปัญญาประดิษฐ์อะไรก็ได้ทั้งนั้น แต่ถ้าคุณไม่ได้อยากจะเอาดีด้านการเป็นเกมเมอร์หรือนักกีฬา E-Sport แล้วล่ะก็ คุณควรหยุดเล่นเกมหรือเสียเวลาไปโดยเปล่าประโยชน์ได้แล้ว และเริ่มไปลงคอร์สเรียนอะไรจริงๆ จังๆ ใช้เวลาหาความรู้เพื่อเพิ่มสกิลให้ตัวเอง” เศรษฐีชาวอเมริกันกล่าว

ฝึกตอบคำถามและการแสดงออก

การตอบคำถามอย่างระมัดระวังและการตั้งใจฟังเป็นสิ่งที่สำคัญมาก ยิ่งโดยเฉพาะกับการสัมภาษณ์งานออนไลน์ เพราะมันอาจจะทำให้มุมมองของผู้สัมภาษณ์ที่มีต่อคุณถูกจำกัดให้แคบลง ดังนั้นคุณควรฝึกท่าทางและการแสดงออก ควรแสดงให้เห็นว่าคุณกระตือรือร้นต่อการสนทนา และตื่นเต้นกับการได้รับโอกาสสัมภาษณ์งาน เคล็ดลับหนึ่งคือการนั่งหลังตรงและดึงไหล่ไปด้านหลัง มันจะช่วยทำให้คุณรู้สึกมั่นใจ แต่หากคุณอยากเพิ่มความชัวร์ ลองโทรหาเพื่อนๆ ของคุณเพื่อเช็กมุมกล้องและท่าทางของคุณเป็นการซ้อมก่อนที่จะรับการสัมภาษณ์จริงดู

ทำตามข้อปฏิบัติพื้นฐาน

ต่อให้เป็นยุคการแพร่ระบาดของเชื้อโควิด แต่ข้อปฏิบัติพื้นฐานในการสมัครงานยังคงเหมือนเดิม คุณควรอ่านทบทวนเนื้อหาของงานว่าตำแหน่งที่คุณสมัครนั้นต้องอาศัยคุณลักษณะการทำงาน และสกิลงานแบบใด จากนั้นศึกษาข้อมูลและธุรกิจของบริษัทจากเว็บไซต์ รายงานประจำปี บทความข่าวสาร หรือโปรไฟล์ของผู้สัมภาษณ์และอนาคตเพื่อนร่วมทีมของคุณใน LinkedIn ยิ่งคุณเตรียมตัวดีเท่าไร ก็จะทำให้คุณมีความมั่นใจกับการสัมภาษณ์งานมากยิ่งขึ้นเท่านั้น

สุดท้ายถ้าเป็นไปได้ อย่าลืมส่งอีเมลล์ขอบคุณหลังจบการสัมภาษณ์  และลองติดต่อสอบถามฟีดแบ็กจากเจ้าหน้าที่บริษัทจัดหางานในอีก 3-4 วันหลังจากนั้น

The system will allow for registration on behalf of family members, while individuals may register in person at their nearest hospital, or with their area health volunteer or by phone.

The registration system has been readied to handle five times the estimated number of users – 20,000 per second -and has been streamlined to speed up the process.

Hospitals have uploaded 16 targeted names. Those who do not find their names in the system will not be able to register.

The Ministry of Public Health has prepared over 1,000 locations nationwide to carry out the vaccination program, including areas outside of hospital precincts, such as public pavilions and sports arenas. Fourteen locations beyond hospital premises have been provided by the private sector in Bankgok, including locations at SCG Bang Sue; Central Ladprao; The Mall Bangkapi; Robinson Ladkrabang; Lotus Minburi; Siam Mid Town; True Digital Park Thanya Park; Central Pinklao; ICONSIAM; PTT Station Rama 2; The Mall Bangkae and Big C Bang Bon.

Astra-Zeneca vaccines will begin being administered in June to 11.7 million senior citizens above the age of 60, and to 4.3 million people with any one of seven listed chronic illnesses.

The groups were chosen to reduce the fatality rate and severe illness rate resulting from infections.

WHO: Indian COVID-19 variant found in at least 17 countries

by
The World Health Organisation said on Tuesday that a variant of COVID-19 feared to be contributing to a surge of coronavirus cases in India has been found in more than a dozen countries.
The UN health agency said the B.1.617 variant of COVID-19 first found in India had as of Tuesday been detected in over 1,200 sequences uploaded to the GISAID open-access database “from at least 17 countries”.
“Most sequences were uploaded from India, the United Kingdom, USA and Singapore,” the WHO said in its weekly epidemiological update on the pandemic.
The WHO recently listed B.1.617 – which counts several sub-lineages with slightly different mutations and characteristics – as a “variant of interest”.
But so far it has stopped short of declaring it a “variant of concern”.
That label would indicate that it is more dangerous that the original version of the virus by for instance being more transmissible, deadly or able to dodge vaccine protections.
The WHO acknowledged that its preliminary modelling based on sequences submitted to GISAID indicates “that B.1.617 has a higher growth rate than other circulating variants in India, suggesting potential increased transmissibility”.
It stressed that other variants circulating at the same time were also showing increased transmissibility, and that the combination “may be playing a role in the current resurgence in this country.”
“Indeed, studies have highlighted that the spread of the second wave has been much faster than the first,” the WHO said.
It highlighted though that “other drivers” could be contributing to the surge, including lax adherence to public health measures as well as mass gatherings.
“Further investigation is needed to understand the relative contribution of these factors,” it said.
The UN agency also stressed that “further robust studies” into the characteristics of B.1.617 and other variants, including impacts on transmissibility, severity and the risk of reinfection, were “urgently needed”.

BMA to Upgrade 1669 Covid-19 Hotline to Support More Calls

by
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is planning to overhaul its 1669 Covid-19 hotline in response to complaints from people that the line was never available.
Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang said up to 3,500 people have been calling daily since the new wave in March. Callers will have to wait for their turn, and if they hang up and dial in again, they will be put at the end of the queue.
He said the BMA will make some changes to the calling system by letting people leave their names and numbers, so that the staff could call back when they are available. This would eliminate the need for people to wait for their turn.
