Our group is finally getting organized... we have our executive board all lined up! Congratulations are in order to the following individuals:
President: Ziad
Vice President: Faye
Head of Marketing: Fouad
Head of Sales: Basem
Head of H.R.: Jinnan
Head of Finance: Chris
Head of Production: Farah
If you need to get in touch with any of the heads and you don't have their information or you can't find them at school, drop me an email (deena. alshatti at gmail.com) and I'll pass on their phone number/email address.
Things you guys need to do:
- Each department needs to set up a plan. Department Heads - I've emailed you with some guidelines and questions you can use to start setting up your plan.
- Company NAME! I think "Injaz Kuwait - ASK" is really boring, don't you?
Enjoy your spring break! Keep Injaz in mind while you're on vacation - production people, maybe use the time to start making non-customized bracelets and whatnot?
Let me know if you have ANY questions. I'm not on spring break, so I'll be around.

Selling Yourself
Resume's. This document shares with your potential employer everything they need to know about you to decide whether you're a fit for the job or not. The catch? You only have one page to show them what you're really capable of. This one page decides whether or not you get an interview. Without an interview, you have no chance of getting the job you want.
With Injaz, you’re already getting an interview – that’s the easy part. But how are you going to let your presidents know what makes you qualified for the position you want to apply for? That’s where your job application and the way you answer your interview questions come in.
For those of you applying to be the heads of departments, you’ve got to sell yourself on your Job Application sheet that I provided to you. The first part is obvious – fill out the position you want, the department you want and your personal information.
Next, you have to talk about your special skills. Why should you get this position over the other people that are applying? If you have excellent typing skills, mention your wpm.
Do you have any special experience with computers? If you do, by all means list them. If you have HTML skills, programming skills, etc – they all can come in handy depending on the position you are applying for. For example, if you want to work in the Finance department and you’re good at Excel, list that. Excel is a great tool for tracking money, figuring out budgets and balances, etc.
If you have any sort of teaching experience, list what you’ve done. This shows that you have what it takes to be a leader, that you know how to manage people. It’s not as easy as it looks – you have to be in charge of a group and you have to plan out what steps your department is going to take to contribute to the business. If you’ve got teaching experience, you’ve probably already done similar planning. It will help you in your role.
The same goes for supervisory experience. Have you ever been the president of another organization at ASK? Have you ever been elected into a position? Again, this will show that you have what it takes to lead and manage a group of people.
If you’ve ever done any work with organizations outside of ASK be sure to list those as well. If they are relevant to the position you are applying for, list it first.
However, don’t limit yourself to this application: If you’ve got more things to say about yourself and why you think you deserve the position you’re applying for, definitely attach a sheet explaining what these positions were and why they are relevant to your position.
If you have any questions at all, please email me. I’ll have a post up on Thursday about interview questions and how to answer them. Good luck everyone!

Welcome!
Welcome to the blog for the Injaz, ASK group!
This blog is our Intranet. Every business has two kinds of websites - an external Internet site. This is shared with the world - anyone with an internet connection can access it. For example, the company I work for has an Internet site up: Agility. Companies also have an internal Intranet. This is where the company shares news with the people who work for it. That's what this blog is - our own Intranet.
I'll be using this blog as a way to share interesting links, ideas and stories with all of you. This is also a place for you to post things as well, and a way we can all communicate outside of our weekly meetings. If there is anything you would like to share with the group, please shoot me an email and I'll get it posted up here.
My email address is deena.alshatti at gmail.com. Looking forward to working with all of you!
