I don't agree with 2 & 4 For 2, nothing wrong in stating how you are best suited for the job. The idea is to sell yourself not the other person. For 4, it's not safe comparing you present salary to what you'd like to earn. It's a manipulation. My guy is with one Indian company earning / angrily managing 50k. His friend is on 130k with their competitor they both do the same kind of job. If you go by this logic my guy may not get up to 100k after an interview because he is presently under paid. While his other colleague have the chance of going beyond 200k. It's not easy, I must say. |

With all this 5 or 10 things to say or not to say everyday in the job search, one wonders if the writers or the hiring managers are looking for graduates that schooled in Mars or Pluto. Permit me to ask, were these so-called hiring managers not once fresh graduates? Take my advice: try your best and pray fervently, you must get a job. Just believe God! 1 Like |

chymystique:As a fresh graduate, you must first find out if there's a standard salary for the position you're apply for. (Most companies have standard salaries for fresh graduates) if there isn't, then find out what the general range is. Once you've discovered that, you've succeeded in arming yourself with enough information to negotiate in line with the company's standard. Hope I answered your question? |
Re: 5 Statements That Can Destroy Your Job Search by Nobody: 3:39pm On Aug 15, 2015 |
Mtcheew. All this crazy rules sef. Just because people dey find work. Nonsense. |
Re: 5 Statements That Can Destroy Your Job Search by chymystique(f): 3:54pm On Aug 15, 2015 |
CrazyMan: Yes. BUT; Question: “what are your salary requirements” Answer: “When it comes to salary, I’m negotiable.” You said the above answer is wrong. Okay Lets assume am the interviewer and you are the applicant and I ask you the above... I would like to know YOUR appropriate answer to the question assuming the coy doesnt ve a fixed salary for its fresh graduates?? Thanks |

All this talk about different rules here and there. Truly speaking all these do not count in many recruitment processes. Some will just pay attention to little details and that will be all...... Do you wanna tell us that the recruitment going on for MTN call center agents will need all these rules. If you dont knw, they only need your number, your email address and your age and am sure the peculiarity of different firm will also determine what they really wanna see in the cv or cover later. ABOVE ALL CONNECTION NA E BE D KOKO!!!!!!! |

your name "crazyman" should ought to have been edited because no employer will like to have a craze man in his organization. for this nice copied article you gat, I need to stone you with some green bottles at aso rock. |
Re: 5 Statements That Can Destroy Your Job Search by CrazyMan(m): 4:35pm On Aug 15, 2015 |
chymystique:You must make enough research about the coy before applying. See the thread below. www.nairaland.com/2501236/5-ways-should-research-employers Your research should be able to tell you how many staffs the coy can boast of, how its being run, if their staffs are under paid, an estimate of their entry level salary...etc. With that, you should be able to answer that question. So to your question...I'll respond based on my research on the coy. Being open to negotiations simply tells your employers that you have little or no information about their pay package. So you might end up being under priced. Or your price might be too high for the coy, thereby making them choose other candidates at your expense. The rule of the thumb is to have enough information of the coy before going for your interview. With that you wouldn't be caught off guard. |

Yes God will help job seekers. I think is immaterial trying to craft the dos and donts of interview. A critical analysis shows that most of these things are subjective. It borders on the manning gaps of the organization and the requisite skills. For instance, a financial institution that urgently need to grow it deposit base will be interested in how much deposit you can mobilise which you will use to fine tune your bargaining power for your level and pay not all those grammars in your CV. Of most importance, is your bio data, to see if it meets the organization recruitment policy. |
