Before learning what it takes to earn an interview with Richard Branson, founder and chairman of the Virgin Group, which owns more than

400 companies around the world, first note that leading companies often give their employees time off work without requiring formal approval

or a set time limit. In return, employees tend to show strong commitment to the organization’s policies and a willingness to follow its approach.

This organization’s unconventional perspective makes clear that its hiring process is about selecting the best of the best. And that is exactly what

the renowned British businessman Richard Branson practices within the walls of his vast corporate organization, Virgin Group.

Here’s exactly what the Virgin Group of companies offers its employees:

Retirement benefits for employees who retire.

Life insurance coverage, along with a financial contribution toward marriage expenses and other benefits.

Insurance income in the event of illness or injury.

– حصة من أرباح الشركة.

A dedicated medical plan.

– حصولك على دراجة تتبع لموقع العمل.

- Benefit from the childcare allowance and its associated benefits.

- Paid leave funded from your salary.

- A seasonal loan card.

- Access to employee-benefit partner shops, such as beauty centers and gyms.

- No policies in place regarding work leave.

So, if you’re eager and determined to work with one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs, Richard Branson, and enjoy the net benefits mentioned above,

and become part of a team that consistently creates and delivers outstanding, innovative work, here’s what you need to do and master, in line with

what the famous entrepreneur looks for in his employees:

.

أولاً: التوجه

First and foremost, Richard Branson looks for people with good interpersonal skills and a collaborative spirit when working with the rest of the team.

ومن المؤكد أنه يبحث أيضاً عن المهارات والخبرة، ولكن وفقاً لما ذكره أحد العاملين السابقين ببلاط شركات فيرجن فإنه يؤكد قائلاً” إنهم كمجموعة

شركات يوظفون الكثير ممن لهم توجهات تعتمد على روح المبادرة والانطلاق في العمل نظراً لما لديهم من مهام متعددة مرجو إدراكها وتنفيذها”. كما

former employee insists that these qualities, as he describes them, matter more than an applicant’s résumé when applying for a position at

شركات فيرجن.

.

because working hard and getting things done counts for far more on your résumé than having worked in the same field before—and far more than what you have of

Results from tests you’ve taken in the past. The best proof is how well you master what you do and how far you’re willing to go to accomplish the task assigned to you,

for which you should be willing to go at least more than halfway.

.

Second: Your personality and energy level

كما يبحث ريتشارد برانسون في فريقه المحتمل عن ملامح حب الألفة و أن يمتازوا بنشر الدفء والود الطبيعي فيما بينهم، ويدّعي “برانسون” أن هذا

is why people choose to fly with Virgin Atlantic again and again. This may seem difficult to build and achieve, but

if your friends, colleagues, and family tell you that you have these qualities, you can be confident that you’d be a good fit for jobs at Richard Branson’s companies.

.

Third: Humor and wisdom  

Richard also wrote in his blog that a sense of humor and wisdom are key to getting a foot in the door at Virgin’s global companies. You need to have qualities and traits that align

with the approach of this major corporate group. That means doing everything you can to highlight your relevant experience and let your wisdom and sense of

الفكاهة لديك. ويقترح الريادي الشهير عليك أمراً استكمالاً لحديثه على مدونته قائلاً “إنك إذا لم تتخذ شخصك على محمل الجد وتمكنت من السخرية

والضحك عليها، فتأكد وقتها أنك على مستوي من الذكاء المطلوب لإثارة الطرافة بين المحيطين”.

.

Fourth: Persistence 

Everyone who works with Richard Branson knows just how demanding their assigned tasks are and how much effort they require—one of the main reasons behind

He was delighted to give conscientious employees unlimited paid leave without requiring formal approval. The founder of Virgin is among those who truly believe

that, as a leader, you should let your employees make their own decisions about whether to take a few hours, a full day, a week, or

ربما شهر.

.

If you trust that they’ll take time off only when they feel completely comfortable—100% sure that everything is in order and their absence won’t

in any way disrupt the business—then that trust proves it. So, if you’re determined to work hard and diligently

to achieve success, you’re not only suited to the job—you’ve earned it.

.

Fifth: Someone’s ideas 

According to renowned entrepreneur Richard, companies should give employees an outlet to express their ideas, rather than simply giving them a sense of achieving the desired goal

—something that can bring companies greater opportunities for success. And who knows? An employee’s suggestion or idea could be worth a million

US dollars. Your business is built on innovation, and creating something new starts with ideas. If you’re a creative thinker who can solve problems, or if you focus on

opportunities to change and improve existing terms and rules, you have another of the constructive qualities sought by the head of the Virgin Group of

companies in the employees he wants on his team.
