Do you feel valued in your work and is it important for you or not?

Appreciation in employees can be shown in many ways such as salary, positive feedback, and communication. Showing appreciation in all of those ways also results in helping employees feel more valued at work.

From where you like to work most or what is more suitable for you?

In one of our recent LinkedIn posts, we asked you whether you prefer working from home or from the office. There were 632 votes and the results ended up quite tight.

Michael decided that he would like to evaluate his free time left after his working hours, that he would like to gain new experience, contacts and at the same time earn extra money.

So he created a portfolio on the SG portal and filled out a form, thanks to which we got an overview of his requirements for the opportunities that Virtual Pool should bring him. He thus took the basic step to apply for the position of member of the SG Virtual Pool.

Applying for a position, even when you are not meeting all requirements?

We asked our followers on LinkedIn, whether they apply for job positions even when they do not meet all the requirements. Surprisingly, most of them chose the same answer.

"I very much appreciated the overall process, it was smooth and I get all the necessary info very quickly. Communication was professional and it all lead to a happy end, finding a new, desired position."

Contractors in the IT field not only have a lot of job offers (full time/permanent employment), but also many project oriented opportunities (freelance contracts). These can be short-term as well as long-term projects, which are provided by the contractors themselves or in cooperation with a personnel agency.

If you are not a contractor yet and you are considering became one, read the article - How to become a freelancer/contractor as well.

Popularity of group assessment centers is gone, but we still encounter with testing during interviews and we were curious, how candiates perceive it. It is not just about, for example, Python test or many types of case studies but also about the interview conversation itself.
