Abeg yu in the Name of Heaven. Help Me.

MAY WE MEET YOU. ??

Hw du I start pls.

Thanks


When you are able to answer the "May we meet you" question powerfully, the job is half yours. This is absolutely correct.

Every question is unique in itself anyway and it presents an opportunity to show interviewers your values, your passion, if need be, your skills and experience.

WHEN THEY SAY MAY WE MEET YOU, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SHUT THE INTERVIEW DOWN WITH YOUR KILLER RESPONSE.

How about crossing your legs while sitted. Is that a kind of confident thing to do instead of placing your hands on the table with the note pad and pen? grin

All these laws, dos and donts on top How much at the end of the month? SALARY-. Something Always Low And Reduces You. What if I give You free information on a simple business You can do from the comfort of your home with a low start-up capital of between 65-130 k that will make You 6 figures in the first month and seven figures by the sixth month? I will train You for free and I'll mentor You all for free. Then you'll know the money u badly wanted Is with another person. Just find a means to get it without applying force - that is business simple as ABC! cheesy

The following are just few tips I would like to share with you today.

I have been opportune to interview applicants seeking job at my company for sometime now and I would like to share some of the things I felt if they did right would have earned them some space to meet with the Managing director.

One thing you must first have in mind is that if you do not leave a wow effect on your interviewer, it will be difficult for them to even call you back. You want to be remembered after the interview right?.

These are some of the things the people I have interviewed did but left me feeling they are just a wrong fit for the company:

1) Talking too much. When you talk too much, your words lose value.
2) Contradicting yourself; You studied Biology but you applied for a logistics role so I asked why logistics and you said you just love logistics and its what you want to do.
I asked further where you see yourself in 3 years and you said you see yourself as a renowned biologist. Isn't that confusing?.
3) Looking like a rockstar with Baloteli hair style and several hand bands on your wrist.
4) Slouching on the chair. Sitting lazily and in a drooping way.
5) Using buzz words that you don't even know its meaning or at worst your interviewer doesn't even know what it meas.
6) Looking disinterested. Have a sharp countenance on.
7) Walk across the room with power. To do this, make sure your strides are fast but well taken.

As a result of the above, I will like to share some successful interview conducts to help you scale through your next interview.

1) Be confident. This means you act it even if you are not it. Stand tall and let your pace and stride be firm and fast as this makes you appear confident.
2) Dress sharp and stay sharp.
3) Always have a subtle smile on your face. This helps you to ease nervousness.
4) When you enter the room, close the door behind you without looking back.
5) Do not sit until you are asked to do so.
6) Research on the organization and know as much as you can about your interviewer if possible.
7) Ask smart questions if you are asked to.

These tips are things a lot of people do not do at interviews trust me. They are simple tips but it goes a long way.

You might think everyone knows this but I can tell you that out of the 10 people I interviewed this past weeks, none of them acted accordingly.

First thing the student should think is why scholarship??.
The essence of scholarships is to help the poor and support especially those who have the potentials or prospects of giving back.


So the tips are that the student should talk about why they need the scholarship... What effort they themselves have made or their parents or guardians have made to ensure that their education doesn't stop.

Lastly and more importantly, talk about what you intend to achieve after getting the education. The impact or achievement you are driven towards should be socially beneficial most especially.

That should help the student.

What do you think?

In number 7 above, I meant not walking across the room with power may not paint you well. Shoulders down looking defeated is a no no.


If you have an interview this week, do the following:

1) Go with a pen.
2) Have a small diary.
3) Place your hands on the table after sitting.
4) Sit straight and look into the interviewers eyes.
5) More importantly, go prepared.
6) Ask for when you should expect a reply.
7) Send an email to say thanks while reiterating your interest.
cool Tell your interviewer you believe you are a good fit for the job and you are positive about it.
9) Describe yourself as a very positive person.
10) Talk about your passions as it relates to the job. If you have evidence, go with them.

1 & 2 makes you look passionate and brilliant.

Place hands on the table. There's nothing one will not hear in Nigeria all because of scarcity of job because of the bad governance. Is the interviewee a culprit?
