3 Tricky Job Interview Questions and How to Nail Them

As we are finally getting a breath of fresh air after the what-seemed-to-be-lasting-forever lockdown (or three?), the industries also start to re-emerge and take a swift turn into their business. You might feel like coming back on track and getting a new job – perhaps even changing the industry – as the time seems to be just right. So you strive, you dare, you apply for the job of your dreams, get invited to an interview. And there you realize: perhaps the time has indeed changed, but the interview questions haven’t. You are ready to go through the same struggle as before, trying to “sell that pen” (hello, The Wolf of Wall Street) to your potential future boss. We asked Zuzanna Badek, Recruitment Manager from the IT company Semrush, how to handle the most popular tricky interview questions. “Tell me a little about yourself?” It’s just classic, isn’t it? “The best way to answer this is with a question: what do you want to hear? Would you like me to talk about my experience, or to know what I enjoy outside work, or perhaps I should describe my employment history?” says Zuzanna. We never know what’s going on in another...

Czechs Are Richer Than Italians and Happier Than Brits

For the first time in history, the Czech Republic is richer than Italy and Spain. It follows from 2020 data from the International Monetary Fund, processed for the FX Street server by Lukáš Kovanda, chief economist of the government’s National Economic Council. Czechs are also happier than the French and the British. According to data presented by FX Street, the net income of the average Czech, including children and pensioners, increased by more than 600 percent since 1989 from less than CZK 2,000 (€78.20) to more than CZK 15,000 (€587) in 2018. The change is mainly due to the transition from a planned to a market economy after the fall of the communist regime in 1989. The first half of the 1990s was crucial, characterized by privatization, restitution, foreign owner input, and economic liberalization in general. The past 30 years represent the most successful period in Czech history from an economic point of view. The evidence of that is the rise of the country in the Fraser Institute World Economic Freedom Index from 101st to 20th place since 1990. However, FX Street also draws attention to the pay inequality that increased after 1989, when a new elite of the wealthiest...
