maybe for Nigerian HRs Sha.. my last interview was done by an Indian and he is more concerned about your Excel skills than how you speak or your choice of words. after about 5mins of intro, he just brought his lappy and gave me some task to do in Excel. that's all. same with Chinese , and Pakistani interviewers . they are always far more concerned about your skills than how your speak. naija interviewers na different tory. |

Choice of words count. But Everything depends on the interviewer though. I’ve gone for an interview where I was directly told they won’t mind if I wasn’t too formal. |

teamsynergy:I am telling you. No mind them. They make interviews seem like one kyn do or die affair. They make the applicants feel so intense. Jeez, and they call themselves HR professionals. 1 Like |

Op, I sense you mean well, but you guys should take it down a notch... Job interviews are not as strict as you "experts" keep painting it. Simple, earnest, and confident communication and demeanor will get you half way in... Competence, and in some cases, connection takes care of the rest. |

So OP you want to tell me that anybody who has ever used these words in an interview ended up not getting hired ? You are a joker, I've hired so many people and will still hire more and they've used most those words ( well except freaking) when I interviewed them and most were hired. I know what I look out for when I interview prospective staff |

Nice one....Prepare for them too. Enter the interview room with your own question. Ask them. If they fire you, fire them. |

postbox: The amazing part got me. To the writer interviews are not based on this your esteemed mentality of employer and slave. In a simple expression let me ask you if your BSC is amazing should that stop you from pursuing your MSc?. |

Interview in Nigeria is not difficult, that is why we find it difficult to hire top talents. They are only concerned about your communication skills and what you have done in the past and why you left your last job. Just tell them when I was at.... I did this and we achieved that. If they ask you why you are leaving your previous job, just tell them you are moving close to the job location soon and you want to be closer to your work place. If they ask for salary, give them range. If you want 100k, tell them 100-165k and stick to it. If they ask your previous salary, tell them you prefer to keep that personal. Are you working before? Yes, even if you are not. What will you bring to this organisation? Vomit those those things on the job specification and showed them you have done it before , even if you have not. When I was at .... We did this and achieve that .... Before leaving, ask them "what us your minimum expectations within the first 90 days? Has this position filled before? If yes, why is it vacant. Finally, do you think I am coming back? They won't tell you, press for it. Shikena!!! The most important thing is getting the invite. 2 Likes |

Jacktheripper:Everyone is desperate and insecure about something but you're finished if you fall in the wrong people ready to manipulate you on that desperation. Fake confidence and safety until you find genuine people who you trust. |
