My first interview on January 12, 2012. I was hired because of how i answered this same question. (I already knew they were christians) My name is Charles Am the first son, in a family of 5. three brothers and 1 sister. I am a christian and my favourite verse in the bible is James 1 vs 5 If you lack wisdom, ask of God. This did the magic for me, I answered a few other routine questions and was offered a handshake! (dont know if this would go down well with a muslim though) 3 Likes |

/ If I may add, no need of whipping out that chaplet in the waiting room to pray. ..unless you are interviewing for a position in a deliverance ministry. You are not fooling anyone. If you are nerve wreck, down a shot of Kaikai and lick some TomTom to mask the aroma. Your confidence will get at least 50% boost. It wouldn't hurt to write down possible interview questions and practice with your siblings. They will judge you worse than your interviewers. Don't practice with friends. They may cheer you on down the path of perdition. \ |

Good tips some interviews these days could be very unpredictable as things take a turn in an unexpected manner. Being calm and highly calculated helps in the long run. |

swizz01:pls comprehend well. Was there anywhere I said you should go smelling. A cool deo would do. Your bro is on IT and not a permanent job. A cool deo is good to go but not a cologne or perfume. |

majekdom2:Who told you that one is not allowed to wear either a cologne or perfume for an interview session? That is false. The only thing to be mindful of is the strength of the perfume/cologne fragrance. If strong, just a little spray on the body is okay. |

rabbuy:Know your worth and lose the job abi? Somethings that apply elsewhere don't work here in Nigeria, no matter how right they are. The important thing is getting the job and if handshake will cause you not to do that, forget it. |

PRISTINEMUSCLES:Sir, it's only an advice. It's not the strength alone. The fragrance may be repulsive to your interviewers. |

Coldplayz2: ALL THIS COPY AND PASTE ARTICLES WILL NOT HELP ANYBODY. THIS ARTICLE WAS NOT WRITTEN FOR AFRICA. HOW CAN U PUT THIS AS AN ADVICE TO ANY ONE. IN AFRICA, YOU DONT SHAKE ELDERS FIRST. YOUR INTERVIEWER IS TECHNICALLY YOUR 'ELDER'. YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT OFFER TO SHAKE HIS HAND FIRST. 2 Likes |

Re: How To Introduce Yourself At A Job Interview by nkemdi89(f): 6:36pm On May 03, 2015 |
To start with in Nigeria you don't shake your elders,no matter your age when you go for an interview its assumed the person interviewing you is your elder. Also you need to smell natural not wearing perfume or cologne as if you are going for a date. Besides you may not know how conducive the environment, you may be made to stay outside and sweat, imagine when you wear a cheap strong perfume couple with your body sweat. Those looking for force job most of these rules don't apply. 1 Like |

Naija interview is the hardest. U will hear where do want to be in the next 10yrs, what is their business. I attended an interview in a multinational company abroad by a British interviewer. He took me to KFC for interview and offered me drink n burger. I ate and he bought me take away. He said he loves Nigerian guys and gave me the job. He only asked" CAN YOU DO THE JOB AS A SAFETY OFFICER. |

Handshake depends on the job you applied for. Offering hand to a team of Nigerian professors made up of mainly Yoruba men might be the beginning of your failure. If you are an Igbo man, that fries your arse completely 3 Likes |

Kweenliz007: kinda don't go with the hand-shake part,It will be wise if the interviewer was first to initiate the process. Perfume or cologne used should not be too heavy,to cause distractions and undue attentions. |
Re: How To Introduce Yourself At A Job Interview by adeyemistrong(m): 7:55pm On May 03, 2015 |
majekdom2:. Well! Oga shisha, wear it lightly and don't smell like a rotten egg. Ask your Hr again. Hand shake should be if the interviewer offers the hand. Its nothing about confidence, its etiquette and never you act like you are begging for the job. Just attend the interview like you are trying to meet someone. Please make the interview lively even as you advertis yourself |

majekdom2: Let him know too many colors should be avoided, preferably a plain shirt would be best. |
Re: How To Introduce Yourself At A Job Interview by Nobody: 8:12pm On May 03, 2015 |
adeyemistrong:The problem with majority is understanding. It is not advicable to wear perfumes MR. A cool deo is ok. Not just the strength but the fragrance may be repulsive. Check on forbes. I never said one should beg for jobs. Shaking hands does mean you are confident. You may shake hands and fail in the shaking cause it may be too tight or too soft. It is best you avoid it unless you are offered one. You shaking hands does not cover up for flaws/ wrong answers. |
