Tips For A Successful Job Interview by Trivalence: 9:08am On Oct 23, 2016 |
I attended this seminar last year. And I will like to share my jotting in one of the sections. It was a jotting from the section on ''How to ACE your interview''. Surprisingly, it was delivered by a baker-a baker in a well tailored suit-knew bakers only in their apron (just joking anyway) and he titled it ''Tips for a successful job interview''. FROM MY JOTTING: Job interview is not necessarily about sitting on the 'hot seat' seeking for a job. It can happen anywhere, anytime. Job changes but interview never change. All jobs interviews are the same. TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL JOB INTERVIEW ==> First Impression Count: - Greet your interviewer with a smile. - Give eye contact. - Sell yourself before anything else. Appear bold and confident but not arrogant. ==> Go in prepared: - Take time to prepare. - Re-read your CV and the job advert before the interview. - Do your research thoroughly: check what the company deals in; you can check their website if they have, for vital information about them. -You may be asked about the salary you are after, make research about the maximum salary before going. ==> Believe in yourself and idea: - Be bold 'It's better to say you need some time to gather your thought rather than speak and regret afterward'. - Answer questions properly: even if you need a moments silence to collect your thought, do not hesitate to say so. - Know your purpose. - Be ready to talk about your knowledge, experience, abilities, and skills. Do not exaggerate but be confident as much as possible. ==> Be positive: interviewer like someone that like challenges. Let them know you always see a happy ending in a tough challenge before it end. Do not say a challenge you can not cope with. ==> Remember your body language: If the chair offered you is not comfortable tell them, so that in your bid to feel comfortable in the uncomfortable chair, you will not appear uncomfortable and scared. ==> Expect the unexpected: - Ask the interviewer to repeat the question if necessary. - Sometimes interviewer ask brain teaser questions that often only him know the answer to; other interviewer on the table might not know the answer to the teaser like you. Just be honest with your answer. ==> Remember your manners: The words Please, Sorry, Excuse me, Pardon me, Thank you are important. ==> Look great: appearance matter. ==> Put God first : though it is the last here, it has to be here and before others. Pray before and after. www.trivalenceaskme..com 7 Likes 1 Share |

I have done a few interviews myself and i can confidently say although these tips are 'politically correct', employers are tired of applicants acting the same old script. Sometimes if you dare to be different by being your 'real' self you just might get the job because some employers are allergic to pretence 2 Likes |

Re: Tips For A Successful Job Interview by jaywee(m): 3:53am On Oct 25, 2016 |
Great tips. Confidence is key. But confidence itself stems from roots of knowledge of the profession/trade, facts and figures, current affairs, and an understanding of how things work. It gives you control. Everything else works out easy. Good luck to all intrviewees |

A friend who made a 2.2 went for a job interview and came bck crying....employers should stop putting a limitation on jobs over degrees...I knw alot of pple who made 2.2 and even 3rd class dat have much more to offer dan some who made 2.1....it makes tins difficult....why not try then based on there ability and not some shitty certificate! |
Re: Tips For A Successful Job Interview by jaywee(m): 4:31pm On Oct 25, 2016 |
Mzyouzee1: True. I finished with a 2.2. Narrowly missed a 2.1 by 0.04. But now in a far better position than the 2.1s and 1st classes of my set. Companies overseas don't necessarily care about your grade points. As long as you graduated, you have a fair chance like everyone else. Naija should change its mentality. |
