God bless you for this article. Please I want to ask if interviews can be done through Skype? A company based in Ibadan invited me for an interview and I was told it will be done through Skype. Please has anyone done interviews through Skype before? |

Sibrah: The one about the plastic bag was asked in Nigeria. "Sell this pen" became a trend after the movie came out. Google it you'd see people giving hints on how to answer it correctly. "What animal are you?" was the trending interview question as at 2012. Found out when I traveled out for masters. I'm based in Nigeria so it applies to everyone. Count yourself lucky to find them out now. |

I am not convinced that the author attended many interviews yet or before he got a job. My view is bsed on his comment about the salary question. Let me tell u, most companies will insist that you tell them a figure- as in an exact figure that u want to be paid and u cannot do anything than to tell them. |

Discussing the salary offer TIPS Finally, there are several things to consider when discussing the salary offer. First, you should be prepared with options. Most employers are willing to negotiate, but they need to know you are also willing. Be sure to have established your absolute bottom acceptable figure and be prepared to walk away if necessary. You may have to explain your salary history or use it to justify the desired salary. Be prepared with facts and figures. Anticipate any objections the employer might be able to raise and be prepared to justify your cost effectiveness. Negotiating a salary package reconfirms to the employer that the decision to hire you over other applicants was the right choice. Make intelligent, well-informed salary statements and be sure your requested salary range is within the market value for your profession in the geographic area. • Present a salary range that demonstrates your knowledge of the local market value. • When requesting a salary range be sure to include a record of your contributions that defend the amount of compensation you are requesting. • Demonstrate the benefit to the organization in paying you more. • Be realistic in the amount requested. • Be sure to include other types of compensation that would be valuable. • Address the interests of the boss; therefore, know the interests of the boss. • Proposal should be grounded on objective criteria. RESPONSES Bad Answer: “I want to make as much as possible. An impressive salary is the reason you get into health care, right? I won’t settle for less than twice as much as I make now. And trust me, I’m worth it.” Better Answer: “I would like to make roughly $50,000 annually, which is slightly more than I currently make. But, of course, the more the better!” Best Answer: “I would like to make $45,000 – $50,000 annually. I believe that my five years of experience in the field plus the additional health care certifications I earned last year add to my value as an employee. However, I got into health care to make a difference, and salary is secondary to working at a job I love.” Culled from "Job Interview Almanac" by GPC Consulting |

link2jude: Yes they can. Done two via skype. The trick is to dress like you're going for a real interview because they put that into consideration. Study everything you can about the company. In summary, assume you're going for a real interview and lastly make sure you have enough data on your phone. |
