1. Don’t be late or too early
Arriving late for the interview is a rude gesture that always makes a bad impression, but so is arriving too early. In both cases you can cause the feeling that you do not calculate the time well, in the first case, it is also perceived as disrespectful, and in the second, it can seem that you are living in a desperate situation.

2. Do not have the mobile on
Turn off your mobile minutes before entering the room where you are going to be interviewed. Do not leave it for the last moment or you will run the risk of forgetting it. If your cell phone rings during the interview, it will interrupt your interviewer’s work and create an awkward situation that will not benefit you at all.

3. Don’t get bogged down in an argument
Freely express your opinions but never start or maintain an argument. It is not about giving the reason without complaining to those who do not have it, but try not to see yourself involved in an argument. It will be an embarrassing situation that will position you as a conflictive person.

4. Do not gesticulate exaggeratedly
Your gestures and your postures are more important than you think. They say a lot about you and reveal what you feel. For example, don’t sit on the edge of the chair or wave your hands insistently. Try to look your interviewer or interviewers in the eye, but not in a threatening way. Smile and behave naturally.

5. Do not take the initiative: let the interviewer direct the interview
Remember that you are the interviewee and not the interviewer. You are there to answer questions, not to ask them. Do not compete with the interviewer, he must always take the initiative. Do not interrupt him and always answer his questions. Without detours or ambiguities.


6. Don’t answer questions aggressively
Never get defensive. Respond calmly and use a calm and collected tone. During the interview do not behave aggressively or act violently. If you get nervous, take a deep breath and stay calm.

7. Don’t show up looking bad
Choose well the clothes you are going to wear that day. Clean yourself and take care of all the details of your personal hygiene. Your appearance is very important to make a good impression. The image counts a lot and provides a large amount of information about your tastes, your preferences and your way of thinking. A careless image will harm you.

8. Don’t chew gum
Chewing gum during a conversation is rude. It will appear that you are not serious about the interview and most people find it very uncomfortable. Do not hesitate, your interviewer will find it highly inappropriate.

9. Don’t lie
The proverb is wise. “A liar is caught before a lame man.” If you lie on your CV or if you answer false questions, sooner or later you will be found out and the cure will be worse than the disease. No company wants to hire liars or cheaters.

10. Don’t stop being yourself
Everyone is nervous about a job interview, it is clear that it is not an easy time. Most people try to memorize learned answers and some interviewees try to play a role to make a good impression. Don’t fall into that mistake, don’t act n pretend to be who you are not.


If you keep these tips in mind, you will behave during the job interview with more confidence and poise. Read them carefully and if you have any questions, we can advise you to find the job that best suits your profile. An interview is a decisive moment to demonstrate to the interviewer that you are the most suitable person to fill the position offered.

Very informative piece. Thank you bro

Do not take any form of highness except wasi

Ok o.

The rules are endless and rather than serve as guidance to newbies, may threaten and intimidate the little confidence they have left.

Maybe I should highlight 5 things to do before an interview.

1. Dress well . Except otherwise stated, a CLEAN black jacket on a white/blue shirt with a clean neck tie/scarf.

2. Practice. Prepare. Rehearse. Not in your mind. Rehearse with your mouth. There's a huge difference between those who have rehearsed and those who didn't, no matter how good they think they are.

3. Use real stories to demonstrate your experience and strengths. As you rehearse these stories, you'll learn to trim them and saying them again would make them flow.

4. Believe. Believe that your interviewer(s) want to hire you. This helps your trust and confidence. No, your enemy is not on that desk, and that person asking you 'difficult' questions truly wants you to justify the high grades he wants to score you. That's the person you should smile to. Recruiters go through a lot trying to select the appropriate CVs. They want you to justify that decision that they have made. It is painful to know that valuable time and resources have been wasted to invite a clown to the table.

5. Research the company and the role. Don't try to go and 'cram' everything on their website. Just take one thing that you personally find interesting in their information and know as much as you can on that ONE thing. Research also means knowing the address of the interview and how to get there on time on your interview date. It is ok to visit the venue before your interview date to familiarize yourself with the address and route, and may chip this into your Convo if the opportunity presents itself.

After observing all this you will still get this famous statement we will get back to You

My brother I will do it come and beat me

Nigerians job this days are mostly gotten through knowing Someone that knows Someone or you use your money to buy once it's Federal government.

All those gestures are applicable in few scenarios. The trending formats is what I wrote above.

Nice piece. However, there is nothing wrong in being too early. Circumstances sometimes warrant you being too early. In some situations, it is either you are too early or too late and you'd definitely pick being too early over being too late.

When you get to the venue, you'd most likely have somewhere to wait.

Where is Patrick Okunima? One guy that used to give CV and job tips.

Na Only for This country you go dey see all this rubbish just to get job u go apply all this ?What if at the end you can't deliver?

OGA FORGET ALL THESE RULES...WHAT WILL BE WILL BE

REMINDS ME OF WHILE I WAS BACK IN NIGERIA, I WENT FOR AN INTERVIEW.OVER 30 PEOPLE WERE INVITED, I WAS THE LEAST QUALIFIED AND I EVEN GOT THEIR LAST...BROS NA ONLY ME THEM STILL HIRE.

MEANWHILE, I NEED A NEW OR OLD BOA FOR AN INSTANT DROP JOB....CHAT ME IF YOU GOT ONE + 9 7 1 55 1 50 370 4

Never fart during the interview. Hold on to it.

You forgot the most important point "DON'T SIT AT HOME" if the interview date is on Monday.

In the end who go get job, go get job in whatever you do pray make grace and mercy follow you I’m a living testimony…#shalom

If you are educated in nigeria just know that u have been programmed to follow the dictate of a skewed system.

Unless we start to think differently from what we have learnt in school we will never have what it takes to disrupt the system or create a new order of things.

That's why the colonialist gave school to the south and gave power to the north.

Lol,No be when hunger don finish you!!!!!!!

You've forgotten the saying that says,"A hungry Man is an Angry Man"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After observing all this you will still get this famous statement we will get back to You

You dey mind am

So, if you're staying in Ikorodu and have an interview in VI, you should be wary of arriving too early?

All this copy and paste bloggers with no creativity

After all this nonsense, na person wey oga don knack them go still collect

Getting a job in Naija ain't. 1+1=2

Noted

mbahfrankuc:
Na Only for This country you go dey see all this rubbish just to get job u go apply all this ?What if at the end you can't deliver?

Na nonsense

I have since towed the path of nepotism. I have left all these tips and hacks to those wey no sabi

good lessons we have here.

For where una dey see interview cum b say na job But u guys have jobs??

Nice one

Reading...

sometimes going against the rule put you in better stead than others, you just have to be smart about it.

Different strokes for different folks.. My boss actually didn't employ someone last-week cause he doesn't like how confident she was.. He wanted to intimidate her with his looks and questions but she did well and that was his reason for not wanting to employ her....

Las las naw grace go favour you...,an interview was supposed to start by 10am,i got dere 11:06am after waiting at the reception for like 10mins,i was called,the questn asked was same on my CV,i was lead to the club,played lyk 4 songs nd gba!....i was given the job...,Bro if u like follow ethnics if oluwa neva pick ur call,shigba no go dey for u

All very valid points. Though in a very competitive market like Nigeria's, a little white lie may just get you over the line. I'm talking of lies that cannot be easily verified and you can easily make up for while you're on the job.
For instance, saying you have abilities with XYZ software or machinery etc as per the person specification. If and when you get the job, it's up to you to make up for your lies by taking a course or improving on that skill.

Nomatter what you do or don't do, if the job na yours you go get am, Favor and Grace pass all these nonsense point
