Interviews are your best opportunity to sell your skills and abilities. Also, they give you a chance to know if the job and company are right for you. The following are therefore tips to boost your interview performance.

1. Go through common interview questions.

You can virtually find interview questions online. Find someone to practice answering them with or do that in front of a mirror. You need to come prepared with stories that relate to the skills that the recruiter wants, while emphasizing:

• Your strengths
• Your willingness to work and flexibility
• Your leadership skills
• Your ability and willingness to learn new things or ideas
• Your contributions to the organizations in which you have worked
• Your creativity in solving problems and working with people

Find out in advance how well you are suitable for the job. With this, you will know if you lack a particular skill. Plan how you will convince the interviewer that you can learn the skill that you lack.

2. Prepare a list of questions you would like to ask during the interview.

Here, choose questions that will demonstrate your interest in the job and of course, the company. This might involve giving a comment on the news you came across on the company’s website, and asking a question in relation to it. Furthermore, ask questions based on the job you will be expected to perform. These may include:

• What your day-to-day responsibilities of the job would be like.
• How your responsibilities and performance would be measured and by whom.
• Ask them to explain their organizational structure.
• What computer equipment and software are being used.
• The organization’s plan for the next five years.

3. Be adequately prepared.

Remember to go with important items to the interview. These include:

• Copies of your CV
• Notebook and pens
• Copies of letter(s) of recommendation, licenses, transcripts, etc (if applicable)
• Portfolio of work samples (if applicable)

4. On the interview day, be sure to:

• Arrive there 15 to 20 minutes early.
• Dress appropriately in a manner relevant to the job. Appear professional.
• Turn off your mobile phone.
• Go with your sense of humor and remember to smile!

5. Exhibit a high level of confidence during the interview.

Your level of boldness must be firm but let the interviewer begin the dialogue. Your body language must reflect a positive message.

• If a hand is offered to you by the interviewer, shake it firmly.
• Maintain eye contact with him/her/them.
• Be attentive. Welcome all questions with a smile even the difficult ones.
• Give honest answers and be direct with them.
• Answers must be developed speedily in your head first before you respond. Be sure to understand the questions asked before you respond, otherwise, ask for it to be repeated or clarified. Take your time to give appropriate answers.

6. Conclude the interview with a good impression.

Ending the interview with a good impression is another great way to ensure your success.

• Be polite and allow the interview to end as at when due.
• Summarize any strengths and experiences that you might not have mentioned earlier.
• Mention a particular activity or achievement that fits the job.
• Enquire if there would be subsequent interviews.
• Ask when the recruiter plans to make a selection or decision.
• Specify a time when you may contact the recruiter to learn of the decision.

Finally, don’t forget to send the employer a thank-you letter or note after the interview.

Where is Prof. Barth Nnaji ?!!!

LastMumu:
Except otherwise stated, I always advise all applicants to send their CV's in a PDF format. It looks more professional, protects your CV design/format unlike Msword, and also removes that annoying grammar error underlines common with Msword.

Technically, I disagree with you. It's actually the other way round.
Except otherwise stated, ALWAYS send your CV in Word/Doc Format. Apart from the fact that it's good for ATS, it also exhibits your level of efficiency in the use of MS Word tools or its variants. A professional human resource specialist like me will not overlook this. No mercy.

So, OP, paste your Cover Letter on the body of your mail while you attach your CV (Word/Doc.). Hope this helps.

Charging your phone more than required can also be dangerous. For example, some people believed that the more their phones stayed plugged, the more strength they garner. So, they'll rather leave it to charge overnight. This attitude diminishes the cell of the battery with time.

Good for him

That's really funny

I had to leave my job to pursue my passion. At first, it's as if the world turned against me but now I can't but appreciate God for doing my own thing.

Question 1: None ...

Question 2: None

I know they'll come to defend the allegation but would that stop anyone from believing the hidden truth?

Lol... Who will try it?

If it's not for the other reason*, then this must be true love. God bless their union.

Good read

Nigeria will surely be better. There will always be a way out of all these unwholesome situations we're experiencing.

Let's hope so. Mikel deserves it.

Olamide is there. Therefore, it will go places. Won't it?

What a pity. Politics is indeed a dangerous game. Rest in peace our dear corper. May God give your family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

I like the last picture more than others

Let our President be! He has many things to grapple with... But on a second thought, 'Baba, please be pragmatic in your approach now.

This is what they call 'Gobe'. I really feel for them.

Well, some may learn from this but I've got more work to do than chatting away with someone except it's on the platform of business.

It is well. We all desire good things but I doubt if they can move from such 'conducive' system/environment to a hostile one. That could be tantamount to moving from 'Aso Rock, Abuja' to 'Umuagwugwu Village in Umunero'.
