The Interview 🎙

This 3rd and final step is actually quite simple! We want to provide you with a clear structure that includes everything from the process to good practices & tips, so you can be best prepared and get the most out of it 🤝
At VENTRY, we love to use a tool called IDOARRT for basically everything. It is a meeting preparation tool, that if used right can even be perfect for debriefing! If you want to learn more about it, read up on Hyper Island's toolbox: https://toolbox.hyperisland.com/idoarrt-meeting-design

Without further ado, here is our IDOARRT for your Interview ⏳

Intention: Feel your vibe and get to know you better through a face to face
Desired Outcome: Have a clear picture of your personality & understand whether you are the perfect fit for our RACs

Good Practices & Tips💡

  1. Do the IDOARRT → you will feel so much more comfortable and confident with your 15 minutes!
  2. Prepare past projects & entrepreneurial or creative endeavours (we love to see anything hands-on!)
  3. Focus on what matters → less is always more. We are looking for ambidextrous people and love to see that communicated in a straight line, without little side roads or fluffy talk.
  4. Be 10 minutes early with webcam & as environment prepared.
  5. Show us your best self. Get in the zone. Meditate, listen to your favourite tune, go for a run, chug a smoothie - whatever you need!

Our only aim is for you to feel comfortable, confident and most importantly heard during all stages of this process. Like with everything we do at VENTRY, our aim is always to inform first and empower second. And we believe this is possible by extending trust alongside responsibility & autonomy, so you can show us your best self through your 15 minutes. 👓
