Hello everyone,

Finding a job in Colombia is no easy feat. From applying for a job all the way to job interviews, the etiquette can be different abroad. Specially job interviews, that can already be pretty daunting, can feel even worse when set in a whole new country. If youve gone through a job interview in Colombia before, how about giving a few tips to someone who might be preparing for one?

Do interviews usually take place in a formal or casual setting in Colombia? Do you have any pointers for job interviews that take place over a lunch or dinner?

From application all the way to the job interview, what is essential to make an candidate stand out?

Culturally speaking, are there specific dos and donts? What is the general take on bringing a parent on the job interview or a gift to the interviewer?

Can you tell us a little about your experience? What worked and what did not work for you?

How important is it to have a solid professional network prior to a job interview?

Please share your experience,

Priscilla

Only a Colombian could tell you that. Expats either just teach Enhlish or work for.multinational corporations.

I did have a friend in Manizales go through 5 interviews including a psicológical análisis for a stupid secretarial job.
