How to Interpret Job Postings
Focus on the requirements. Fujitsu favors transparency and clarity, and uses industry standard nomenclature to prevent any misunderstanding of a position’s needs. When applying, Meason suggested keeping the application focused on professional information and avoiding overuse of personal details. “When submitting your application,” he said, “I suggest an applicant refine their resume to reflect skills appropriate to the target role and establish clear alignment between personal skill sets and the job requirements.” He also strongly recommended a cover letter, referring to one as “a valuable addition to the application.”The Interview Process
The company’s typical interview process includes a mixture of phone, video and in-person conversations/meetings. Managers may employ a panel interview or a series of one-on-one sessions. Meason said candidates should expect to receive questions about functional capabilities as well as behavioral-based scenario questions. Being able to communicate effectively throughout the process is critically important. Meason stressed that, “An applicant should be prepared to describe why the position aligns with their career aspirations,” and “should be prepared to deliver clear and concise responses to an interviewer’s questions.”What Makes a Good Fit?
