Interview Shortlist (How difficult could it be?)

Once you have prepared that all important CV, its up to the company executive to wage through those curriculumn vitea's that show promise. The first tip is to make sure that you use a first class stamp on your envelope and print on the front of the envelope "Private & Confidential". This adds a special touch which alerts the reader to the fact that the contents of this mail is important and that the reader is priviliged to read its contents. As soon as the letter is opened, your much slaved over CV may find itself on a reject pile. Its not that your experiences, skills or education fails to impress, but the mare fact that getting an interview requires planning and that if this planning stage is over looked the outlook for sucess is limited. Empolyer's are normally inandated with hundreds of applications and thse need to checked and most get rejected on mere presentation.

In our typical example, one company has one job vacancy, from say a hundred applications the executive will need to narrow this figure down to a possible twenty, mangement reject a further ten, then follwed by 1st interviews for the remaining ten applicants. A further six are rejected leaving the remaining four for second interviews and then an elimination round to choose the best candidate for the job. This shows how dificult it is for an application to get through to the 1st interview. Its not always like that, but I have felt that if you know the immense work involved in the selection process, you might want to design your CV in a way that makes it shine out from the grey pile on the eliminators desk.

Muslim's watchout!

As Muslims, we know that our future is in the hands of Allah(swt) and knowing this we always ask for His help in everything that we do. Finding a job is no different, by supplicating to Allah(swt) we ask Him to help us to attain a job that is halal and that in doing so we perservare in establishing our deen on earth. Our deen (Islam) is so precious to us than life itself and working as we do alongside the Kufar, we must never loose sight of our ultimate goal and that is the return of Islam in the political arena (Al Khilafah). It is imperative that Muslims define their desire to obtain Allah(swt) pleasure by worshipping Him and carrying out His commands. I must remind Muslims brothers and sisters that your primary priority is to Allah(swt) and by working to establish his deen Islam and implimenting Al-Khilafah is the ultimate challenge facing us today.
