Jobs

If there’s one thing this pandemic has taught us, it’s that empathy is crucial. We are social beings and a lot of us have suffered from having few social contacts this past year. At delaware, we care about everyone we work with, our customers and the environment we work in. Likewise, we want to make sure your job interview is handled in a professional way, while feeling as comfortable as possible. A successful job interview is one where you can be yourself, and see if there’s a match between you and our company. So how can you prepare yourself optimally when applying for a job in times of COVID-19?

Het is ruim een jaar geleden dat ik vol trots, enthousiasme en met een enorme boost energie in mijn vorige blog: Van Recruiter naar IT Consultant kenbaar heb gemaakt dat ik niet meer als Recruiter, maar als Junior ECM Consultant bij delaware het kantoor binnen mag stappen. Waarbij ik tot een jaar geleden geïnspireerd werd door mijn gesprekspartners die met zoveel passie konden vertellen over hun job als IT Consultant en dacht “Gaaf, dat wil ik ook!”…. denk ik nu: “gaaf, dat ben ik ook!”.

What the heck does a consultant actually do? Every once in a while, all consultants get this question, and delaware’s are no exception. An attempt to explain to our curious friends and family what we do generally creates even more confusion.  

Nearly half of the global workforce is now female, a surprisingly high number compared to how many women were involved in the workforce these last few decades. However, the number of women in tech jobs is more disappointing, given that the percentage is even lower than in the 1980s. We know that IT, in particular, is struggling with the attrition of skilled people so, set against the celebrations of International Women’s Day, let’s take a look at what we can do to change this. And to support the women that love technology and are interested in working in the industry.
