Had to quit my new job after getting a much better one barely 2 weeks of resumption. So I have been to quite a few interviews, so I want to share some advice

Some of my advice are:

1)Apply Apply Apply: Try and always apply everyjob related to your discipline, cos u don't know the ones that will call u. Apply all graduate trainee jobs u see cos u don't know if they will consider u for training irrespective of your course.
2)Always Prepare: No matter how short the invite is always try & get ur hands on Gmat or study online. Browse well abt the firm also bf going for any interview. Pls do not cram for interviews, just let it flow.
3) Believe in yourself: When u come 4 interview, don't feel intimidated probably by others CV, their qualifications or schs they attended. Forget their Italian shoes, suits & phonetics they speak. what they are more interested in is what's in ur head.
4) Do not lie during Interview: Do not lie abt anything, tell them u don't know it & that u learn everyday and willing to learn this one. u might lie thinking they don't know cos they ignored u, believe me that's the end of it.
5) Be confident: People that know me personally will testify how shy I am. I used prayer to counter that, now I'm better. I always feel scared bf interviews but immediately I enter, I just feel a new me. Try & maintain eye contact regularly.
6) Always watch the reaction of your interviewers: When answering a question, u should know when they are buying it & when they have realized u are talking OP. Just know when to stop or switch what u are answering.
7)What Questions do u have for us?:This is usually the last question they ask & also the most important, trust me. Here they want to know how intelligent u are, Try & ask a very intelligent question. I remember My question was, " Since I have told u all my highs, experiences & what I can offer, u must have Identified my low pt & d mistakes I made which needed correction, I need ur advices so that it will help me in my future career probably with them or perhaps elsewhere". With the look on their faces I knew they appreciated that. After they answered that, one of them said see u & smiled.
Always pray and believe in God:[/i]Always pray & don't doubt God. it's not luck to get a job esp in the situation we are in this country, it's by God's grace. Didn't know anyone in any of the ones I got, but just check out now. By now last month, I wouldn't have envisaged in anyway where I'd be now. His time & plan is always the best. Just pray & believe.
[i]. ... God bless u all.

Pls don't wait till you are through with your service year before you start applying.Many applied for the recent etisalat customer care job and are awaiting for medicals while some are waiting for the 1st,2nd and 3rd stage interview and they will be passing out from service by April 2016.So if you've not started applying,start now unless you want to venture into business.The hustle is real.

And after all these, you are still jobless.

Jobs are scarce for graduates without experience that is just the truth .

Noted

Really

Apply Apply Apply; i kind of disagree with this one. You just can't be applying to every job in your discipline na. You need to have your vision and what you are aiming for. Desperation is the mother of all disasters.

Cool.

Toh job seekers expo don land oooo

Je suis

Pls dnt be jobless as airforce1 who has no hit single

Lol..Fool, i tot you had a job? fake ass pretenders every were. Go and look for a job and stop wasting on NL .

I can relate to the prayer part... I always tell God to take me where i would be fulfilled in my career,and he answered my prayers.As at last year,i was depressed about not getting a job despite several applications and good grades. Today,i am an associate with the firm of a renowned lawyer in Nigeria,and i feel fulfilled.In the meantime,i advice job seekers not to stay idle..Get anything legal to do,to avoid being depressed and overly dependent on people for your basic needs.Previously,I was working in a small firm without salary,I was just getting transport fare and small change from court appearances.My point is,try to start from somewhere no matter how small,God that sees your hustle would uplift you.If you have the time,read books to refresh your memory and sharpen your work skills and knowledge. Also,dont just sit in front of your laptop and apply for jobs,try coldcalling companies you would like to work with.My firm never advertised for an opening,i got an info that he wants to hire more hands,and i called him to inform him of my desire to work with him.I was given a date for interview,which i attended.I got called this year after like 5 months.I have already resigned myself to fate that i would never work there,when i got a call from the principal partner.So never give up,do your part and leave the rest to God.The water when you go drink,no go pass you by.I trust God to answer the prayers of those who diligently seek him in their daily endeavors.

Thanks my bro
