Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Why Should We Hire You? The Answer To The Question! by Bodjetstar(m): 3:23pm On Mar 24, 2017
May God grant you the great job of your desire.
I appreciate all contributions and the funny responses.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Why Should We Hire You? The Answer To The Question! by Bodjetstar(m): 3:08pm On Mar 24, 2017
holamiday:
This question should be answered in the most sincere way possible. Using all the grammar you described above still may not earn you the job, simply because the previous interviewee may have said better. The next interviewee may have read this post too and say the very same thing, or something way better. So, tell me, when two people answer the question in exactly the same way, who should they now hire? Besides, last time i checked, talk is cheap.

When an interviewer asks you that question, answer it sincerely. Say the very thing they least expect, the truth. Say something in the line of 'Well, truth is, i'm not the only one suited for this job. There are many people who'd do this job perfectly, as well as i would. I'm only certain i'm a bonafide member of that set of people. My credentials speak for me, i'm qualified for the job, you can see i possess the skills you need, but it's not a do-or-die affair and my life isn't tied to the job. I'll be happy for whoever gets this job whether it is me or not. It's your job and awarding it is your call. It's up to you'.

This would surely leave the interviewer speechless, because you have spoken the truth he knows and nobody else would dare speak. You have shocked him. It's better than constructing white lies in Queen's english, boasting and ranting about what you very well know you are not.


@Olamide : I really appreciate your contribution towards this.
@ All Readers: Don't cram this! It's just to make you understand what you need to know about this type of question during interview.

Please Note these:
God's Factor first: Know God and put HIM first.
Know yourself and what you want, your career path and what are good at and capable of doing well.
Know more about the organization.
Know the job description etc. ..

Family / Can You Have A Joint Account With Your Spouse? Please Give Reasons! by Bodjetstar(m): 2:14pm On Mar 24, 2017
In Nigeria today, there are issues many families are facing. But today we will be discussing on the topic "Can You Have A Joint Account With Your Spouse? "

So, it's your turn........Let's discuss.
You are welcome on board.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Why Should We Hire You? The Answer To The Question! by Bodjetstar(m): 11:37pm On Mar 23, 2017
:::EXAMPLE OF ANSWERS:::

Example Answer 1: Project Manager

“Well, I have all of the skills and experience that you’re looking for and I’m confident that I would be a superstar in this project management role.
It’s not just my background leading successful projects for top companies — or my people skills, which have helped me develop great relationships with developers, vendors, and senior managers alike. But I’m also passionate about this industry and I’m driven to deliver high-quality work.”

Why it's Liked:
She has a lot of confidence and is able to concisely sum up how she meets the position’s top requirements (project management experience, relationship and team skills) . This answer is a little bit general and could perhaps be further strengthened with examples (describing a successful project, naming one of those top companies, offering evidence of those great relationships).
However, assuming that the candidate has already discussed some specifics of her past roles, this answer does a good job of reiterating and emphasizing. She doesn’t make the interviewer put all of the pieces together on his own.
She does it for him and naturally does it with a very positive spin. We also really like the last line: What’s not to love about passion, drive, and high-quality work?



Example Answer 2: Programmer

“Honestly, I almost feel like the job description was written with me in mind. I have the 6 years of programming experience you’re looking for, a track record of successful projects, and proven expertise in agile development processes.
At the same time, I have developed my communication skills from working directly with senior managers, which means I am well prepared to work on high-profile, cross-department projects. I have the experience to start contributing from day one and I am truly excited about the prospect of getting started.”

Why We Like It:
This is another good approach to summing up key qualifications and demonstrating a great fit with the position requirements. In particular, this candidate is likely to win points with “the experience to start contributing from day one.” He won’t need much training or hand-holding and that’s attractive to any employer.


Example Answer 3: Fresh Graduate

“I have the experience and the attitude to excel in this production assistant position. I have almost two years of television production experience — including two summers interning at The Ellen Show, where I was exposed to all aspects of TV production and worked so hard the first summer that they invited me back for a second summer and gave me more responsibilities.
During my senior year at UC San Diego, I have been working part-time for a production company, where I have served in an assistant role but also recently had the chance to help edit several episodes. I have a reputation for getting things done — and with a smile on my face.
That’s because I love working in the television industry and am excited to learn and get experience in every way possible.”

Why We Like It:
This candidate has some nice internship and part-time experience, but she’s a new college grad and doesn’t have any full-time positions to talk about.
This answer highlights the experience that she does have (and the fact that she performed well — she was invited back to her internship and was given an opportunity to edit at her part-time job).
She also expresses her enthusiasm for the job and her strong work ethic. These qualities are important for an entry-level hire, who will likely be doing quite a bit of grunt work at first.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Why Should We Hire You? The Answer To The Question! by Bodjetstar(m): 11:08pm On Mar 23, 2017
(continuation of the discussion......)

Most job seekers should be able to develop a standard answer to this question that can be customized a bit for each opportunity. Here’s how:
Step 1: Brainstorm
To get started, review the job description
(or a representative job description if you don’t have an interview lined up right now) and your resume and ask yourself these questions:
What are the most important qualifications for this position from the company’s perspective?
In which of these areas do I really shine?
What are my most impressive accomplishments?
What makes me different from the typical candidate?
Brainstorm and jot down everything that comes to mind.
Step 2: Structure Your Sales Pitch
Next, choose the 3-4 bullet points that make the strongest argument for you. Use those bullet points to structure your sales pitch. Don’t write a script to memorize — simply capture the bullet points that you want to convey. Each bullet will describe the selling point with a brief explanation and/or example for context.
Keep it concise — you still want to keep your answer in the 1-2 minute range so you won’t be able to rattle off every skill and accomplishment on your resume. You have to really think about what sets you apart from the competition.
Step 3: Practice
Once you feel pretty good about the points you want to make, it’s time to practice. Again, it’s not a good idea to memorize a script — you can end up sounding like a robot or feel more nervous because of pressure to remember specific wording.
The better approach is to capture your bullet points, study them, and then practice until you feel comfortable talking about them off the cuff. Your answer should come out a little bit different each time, but it should always cover the points that you want to make.
Remember: It’s also very important to come across as confident and
enthusiastic when you deliver your pitch. Make them believe in you — your abilities and your commitment.
If you project confidence (even if you have to fake it a little), you’re more likely to make a strong impression. As for enthusiasm, keep in mind that true passion for the work required is a pretty compelling selling point. Yes, experience and qualifications are important, but the right attitude can definitely give you an edge over those with similar professional backgrounds.

Jobs/Vacancies / Why Should We Hire You? The Answer To The Question! by Bodjetstar(m): 11:05pm On Mar 23, 2017
There are lots of qualified applicants like you out there striving for that same position but one of the question to distinguish you is: Why Should We Hire You?
Have you been asked the question before? What was your response?
Well you will reply to that after this post.
Based on my research, I will try and give you details on what you need to understand about the question and possible answers.

After all, the whole interview process is about answering this question: Why should we hire you instead of one of the many other well-qualified applicants?
Every interview question is an attempt to gather information to inform this hiring decision . Many interviewers will also specifically ask you to make your case with one of these questions:
Why should we hire you?
Why are you the best candidate for the job?
Why are you the right fit for the position?
What would you bring to the position?

To close the deal on a job offer, you MUST be prepared with a concise summary of the top reasons to choose you. Even if your interviewer doesn’t ask one of these question in so many words, you should have an answer prepared and be looking for ways to communicate your top reasons throughout the interview process.


Why Do Interviewers Ask This Question?

The interviewer’s job is to hire the best person for the position. Most of the candidates that make it to the interview stage are qualified for the job. The winning candidate must be more than qualified, especially in a very competitive job market.
Every hire is a risk for the company. Your interviewer will also be taking a personal career risk in recommending a particular candidate to hire. If the candidate performs well, Mr. Interviewer looks brilliant and gets a pat on the back (and maybe a bigger annual bonus).
If the candidate turns out to be a dud
(doesn’t perform well, doesn’t get along with the team, leaves the job prematurely, etc.) , the interviewer looks like a dummy and his professional reputation suffers.
With this question, your interviewer is asking you to sell him on you and your status as the best person for the position. Make his job easier by convincing him that:
You can do the work and deliver exceptional results
You will fit in beautifully and be a great addition to the team
You possess a combination of skills and experience that make you stand out from the crowd
Hiring you will make him look smart and make his life easier
How to Answer: Why Should We Hire You?
This is your chance to wow them with your highlight reel. Your answer should summarize the top three or four best reasons to hire you. It’s better to have three or four strong reasons with memorable descriptions and/or examples than to rattle off a laundry list of twelve strengths without context.
This is an opportunity to reiterate your most impressive strengths and/or describe your most memorable selling points, tailored to align with the top requirements in the job description. Your 3-4 bullet points could include a combination of the following:
Industry experience
Experience in performing certain tasks or duties
Technical skills
Soft skills
Key accomplishments
Awards/accolades
Education/training
Accomplishments and success stories are always good bets, especially if you can describe how a key accomplishment
(a successful marketing campaign, for example) demonstrates a desired competency (creativity, results-orientation).
One approach is to mention any unique combination of skills(s) and experience that you possess. For example, many candidates may have strong programming skills, but what if you combine those with team leadership experience that others don’t have? Sounds like a great recipe for a senior programmer. Explain why in your answer.

Jobs/Vacancies / CHIVITA VACANCY March 2017 Pls Ignore That Information! by Bodjetstar(m): 2:07pm On Mar 16, 2017
The management addressed all the applicants today 16th March 2017 that the information is false as it was broadcast online that those who studied microbiology, food technology,etc should submit their CV to Chivita office.
For now as it is a false information.

It's a pity that applicants wasted their transport fares.

My dear Nigerian Graduates looking for jobs. Listen to me...


.....God will allocate you with the job of your desire in the right location without you struggling in Jesus name.

I will advice that you wait for your time but don't waste your time!

Romance / Must Read For Every Couple!!! by Bodjetstar(m): 12:02pm On Jan 20, 2017
A couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary was asked the secret to their success.
The husband replied, “The day we got married we agreed that if an argument arose, I would go out and stand on the porch until I cooled off. And it worked like a charm, 50 years of being outdoors in all that fresh air was exactly what this relationship needed!”
Do you know that there are marriages nowadays that is destroyed and did not last for more than a week all because of a little argument that occurred?
Do you know that little misunderstandings between couples have put an end to some marriages?
Marriage is a journey of life and you need to possess some skills just like the recruiting agents will require for a job applied for. You have to keep strengthening your marriage so that it won’t go weary. There are lots of ways to to that but I will discuss just three today.
Hope is not too small?
From this story, it is certain that if you have been spending too much time out on the porch when an argument occurred It will be of help to avoid fights or argument, am I right? Well let me know your opinion on that at the end.
Therefore, the three great ways to strengthen your marriage and build a peaceful home are as follows...... https://channelofvirtue./2017/01/14/3-great-ways-to-strengthen-your-marriage/

Family / Your Children Vs Social Media: Which Is More Important? by Bodjetstar(m): 11:47am On May 24, 2016
Which one is more important to you between your children and social media?

The way some parents spend most of their time on social media to the extent that they have no time for their children is annoying. When you cannot communicate with your children, what are you communicating with the mass?
This is what we need to work on in our homes. Spending more time with your children will help to build a lasting relationship than neglecting them. The time you spend with them is not a waste but a seed sown which you will reap in the future.
Like I said on:
http://channelofvirtue./2015/12/05/your-children-vs-social-media-which-is-more-important/

We need to build a good relationship with our children.

Well let me throw it to you....... How many percent of your time do you spare for your children per day?

You are a Channel of Virtue for your Children......... you are a channel to enhance the virtue in them. You are not just to raise them but to nurture them.
Happy Children's Day in advance

Family / What Will Be Your Response If Your Little Kids Asked You To Explain Sex? by Bodjetstar(m): 12:09pm On Jul 12, 2014
I want to know your views and opinions on these issue of concern.
Most Parents Fail To Enlighten Their Kids With The Right Knowledge On Sex Education Thinking That These Kids Are Still Small Not Knowing That They Know More Than You Expect From Them. If Your Little Child Under 13 Yrs Of Age, I Think You Should Explain To Him Or Her Wisely Based On His Or Her Understanding. This Will Make Them To Trust You And Confide In You. Failure To Do So Will Make Them Seek The Knowledge From The Wrong Source.

Webmasters / Make Your Blog Appear In Desktop View On Mobile Browser by Bodjetstar(m): 1:06pm On Aug 08, 2013
To make your blog on blogger () appear in web view for those visiting your sites, all you need to let them know on your site is that:
1. they should set their operamini to web by pressing: #8 and uncheck the box beside "mobile view"
2. THEN instead of entering " yoursite . . com " THEY ARE TO USE "yoursite..com/?m=2"
(NB: NO Space btw)

THAT'S ALL YOU NEED. AND TRY TO MAKE THEM BOOKMARK YOUR SITE.

For instance I made that easy for my blog and short it using " bwmobile.tk " that is for those using mobile browser, instead of bodjetstarwrites..com that will load the site in web view as it'll appear on desktop computer easily. This will make adsense to show also.
If you want your own blog to be something like this "yourblog.tk" instead of that long ones please contact me via email on bodjetstardeambassador@gmail.com and please don't spam I hate spamming.
PLEASE IF YOU KNOW ANY OTHER TIPS SHARE IT
