 GENERAL QUESTIONS: MANAGER
• 1. How do you see the successful term and what will be your contribution to reach it?
For me, the term is successful when there are a lot of approves and when all the
teams(in this occasion managers themselves I guess) fulfill their monthly goals.
Furthermore, in my opinion, a successful term is not only about Eps and approvals, but also
about the personal development of managers, team members, even VPs. So, I think a term
with full of VP-manager meetings, strategy planning days can be considered as a successful
term

• 2. Describe your expectations from your functional VP.

If I am an oGV manager, I will expect to keep a close contact with managers from VP like
asking for a weekly report and organize meetings frequently(for this term, they will be
online probably). Moreover, it will be better if a VP is available most of the time, so that
when managers have any problem with the EP or something else, he/she can help them as
quickly as possible.
• 3. How Covid-19 affected AIESEC and what will be your action steps if it's going to
continue affecting?

I think Covid-19 has seriously affected our AIESEC way, because we could only
work actively for a month and due to the restrictions about travelling etc., as an LC,
as an AIESEC Azerbaijan, we couldn’t fulfill our goals for the term. Even the approved
EPs had to postpone their GV, GE experiences. Although, if the situation continues
for the next term, we will definitely go on online. I think that we will have all our
meetings online and we will switch our foreign country projects to local ones. I’ve
already though about how to communicate with the EPs, how to convince them by
thinking about the benefits of local projects, so I don’t think that the ongoing
situation will be a problem for me.
• 4. Write down your weaknesses and strengths.

I think I am a more self-aware person after the last(my first) term in

AIESEC, so as a weaknesses, I can be nervous and have struggles with
communicating with people on the phone for some reason, but I am
working on it and I believe that I’ve progressed and continue to
progressing in it. As a strength, I believe I’m a determined person, so even
if I have struggles, failures, I don’t give up. Other than that I am very
humble and responsible for the work that I’m dedicated to.
• 5. Why are you the best candidate?

Well, I have 7 months of experience in oGV and have listened to

literally all the sessions in NatCo(), so I know almost all the details about
this function. Moreover, I am a fast learner, so any changes because of
Covid-19 will not be a barrier for me. However, I cannot say that I am the
best, but one thing I can assure that I can do more than my best to be the
best.
 LC QUESTIONS
1. Make out a mini SWOT analysis of LC Baku Khazar

Strengths: Competitive, has a determined collective, enthusiastic.

Weeknesses: Usually IR is ignored or is not paid attention enough.

Opportunities: By sharing previous EPs’ experiences closely, or allure some

famous bloggers to our projects, we can expand the number of sign ups.

Threats: Switching to the local projects because of the virus can cause reduction
in the number of sign ups.
• What do you like about LC Baku Khazar the
most?
I like the feeling of belonging to such a
community and I like the way how people in
this LC treat each other, have each other’s
back and always ready for help. Other than
that, it is amazing that even we have lots of
titles, this does not lead to stratification,
everyone here is so genuine. Among all of this,
it is so enjoyable developing yourself, your
language abilities in such a sincere
atmosphere.
 • 1. How do you envision to make approvals in OGV
department during these period?
FUNCTIONAL First of all, we should think about how to arrange
sessions with the customers during this period. It will
QUESTIONNA probably be online. Second, we should open more
RIE: oGV projects in our country which I believe iGV’s work,
because in my opinion, most people haven’t even
Manager travelled in our own country, so this will be a great
opportunity for those people. Next, I think that we
should decrease the time period of local projects to 3-4
weeks. For the ones who want to have an experience
abroad, we can choose summer 21’ projects( I think
that until that time the issues about Covid-19 will be
solved).
2. What kind of strategy or action steps
we can make in order to achieve our
goals locally and nationally?
• I think that we should convince people
about the next summer projects, so
that when the projects open again, we
will be able to have enough applies to
reach our goals. Furthermore, my
answer to the previous question can
also be the answer to this question.
3. What do you think, how we can keep
partnership strong with other LCs?
What do we need for this?
• Well, I think that we should
gather(online probably) once a month
to discuss our monthly works,
struggles, difficulties etc. to help each
other and to thrive for the excellence.
• 4. How do you think, in which points our function has to collaborate
with B2C and B2B department?
It is obvious that a part of our applies come from B2C and B2B
departments, so we should collaborate with them in attraction part.
• 5. Why oGV?
First of all, I think that I have more experience in this function than
others, so I believe that I will be successful as a manager. Secondly, I feel
like this is the best function for me to develop and challenge myself. I
know that I will never stop until I derive satisfaction from my result.
