Pamela Jensen — Recruiter

If you’ve landed on my profile, it’s probably for one of two reasons. 1️⃣ You’re considering reaching out about an opportunity. Thank you for the interest, but I’m currently not looking for a new role. 2️⃣ You have an interview with me coming up. In that case, welcome. I’m looking forward to our conversation. To help you prepare, here are a few tips: 🔍 I like to ask challenging questions that encourage you to think on your feet. Not to trip you up, but to understand how you think. 🧠 Reflect on your previous projects. What went well, and what would you do differently? What did you learn from it? 📂 Come ready with concrete examples. Real situations, real impact. 📘 Read up on Picnic and think about why this company and role resonate with you. What excites you about our mission and how you could contribute? 🔮 Imagine you're already part of the team. What types of problems would you love to tackle? What areas spark your curiosity? 🔁 This conversation goes both ways. I’ll be asking questions, but I hope you will too. Think about what you want to learn about the team, the culture, or the role, and bring those questions with you. 💬 Talk me through your thinking. I’m interested in how you approach problems, not just the end result. Be as structured as possible with your answers. 🧩 Stay curious. If something isn’t clear, ask. 🤝 Be yourself. I want to understand your genuine strengths and how you like to work. 📈 Share how you’ve grown. Learning from challenges and feedback matters to us. Looking forward to the chat!
