Venturist for maritime digitalisation, inclusivity & sustainability
“While innovators see opportunity in change, they must also make that change happen. The Closelink founders understand this, so instead of attempting to change the maritime world as a whole, they specifically chose to implement change in a particular field: marine-lubricant procurement, where they show a very strong advantage and offer tangible benefits.”

How we think about user experience at Closelink
Here at Closelink, we don’t let the change chase us - we chase the change. In the spirit of progress, we consistently roll out improvements to our procurement platform, ensuring that it remains dynamic and efficient. And that includes how things look and feel! The changes are subtle, yet impactful, maintaining the functionalities that procurement experts rely on daily while offering a more enjoyable user experience.
We ask questions in order to learn more information about something, and we answer questions to provide more information. Asking and answering questions is not only a part of how we learn, but it is also a part of our social skills; we ask and answer questions to be polite and build and maintain relationships.
Identifying your values is an important part of finding your inner self. As you reflect on things that made you proud, think about what these experiences reveal about your values. Try asking yourself, what values are connected with the things that make me feel proud?
To look inside means you will also journey to learn more about the gap between who you say you want to be and who you actually express yourself to be. To look inside means to acknowledge to yourself that we all have the capacity to change, and the only effective way to change is to look inside.
The best way to answer "Tell me about yourself" is with a brief highlight-summary of your experience, your education, the value you bring to an employer, and the reason you're looking forward to learning more about this next job and the opportunity to work with them.
There are many ways to answer the question, including giving an elevator pitch, presenting yourself as a problem solver, expressing your enthusiasm for the job or focusing on specific skills that fit the company's needs.
Nothing is more humble than asking someone a simple “why” question. The “why” removes all pretense, all trappings of expertise, all expectation that you have the answers, and places all of that power into the hands of the person who is being asked the question.
You can start with a definition or facts. In the main body, explain the question at hand in detail. Organizing your argument into bullet points or paragraphs will make it easier for the examiner to go through the topic. Lastly, end your answer with a balanced conclusion that sums up all your arguments in 3 to 5 lines.
You can get a head start by knowing what the beliefs are. You can work with negative beliefs by questioning and reframing them. For every negative thought you have about yourself, gently push yourself to balance it by adding something positive. If thinking positive things feels really hard, try to stay neutral.
