I don't know if you have heard of the recent business opportunity in the Oil and Gas industry allover the world, where it is NOW possible for YOU to get PAID each time people buy petrol, kerosene or diesel around you.

Have you heard about it?

It is the same Oil & Gas business industry that made Billionaires out of people like Dr. Mike Adenuga, Mrs. Folunrunso Alakija, Abdulsamad Rabiu, High Chief O.B. Lulu Briggs and many others.
Guess what?...When I shared it with Mr. Bimbo Yusuf he couldn't beliEve it, but went ahead and used the training we gave him and he made his First N351,776 in Pure Profits from the Oil and Gas business!...If you are wise enough then you should know that millionaires don't work hard anymore, they work smart and play hard cus they wanna enjoy more from life that's why most of them go for exotics holidays in any part of the world...we all deserve to have a good life..go to this link as i share with you top tips on how to make good cash wisely...December is near my people so WORK SMART IN A LEGIT WAY.....http://smartbusinessonly.com/naijaoffer/?ap_id=paydubmmo2809

[quote author= post=27694596]There are questions that employers commonly ask at job interviews and it's important to be prepared to respond to those interview questions. I have never gone for a job interview before, i have read about the potential questions online, and practically memorized their answers but i still feel that I will freeze on the day of the interview.

I dont want to be put on the spot during the job interview. What can I do?[/quote]Well, I'd say, Prepare, Practice, Practice and Practice...

You see, there really is no ALMIGHTY FORMULA for excelling at Job Interviews, because there are several ways and several things that one can do during a Job Interview to excel. It depends on the organization in question conducting the interview.
So for an applicant, its all about knowing the basics: Prepare, Practice, Practice and Practice...

The thing is, your interview is a performance (the Practice part). And just like any actor or musician, you do not want to step out on the stage without a great deal of preparation. Do as much research (the Preparation part) as you can to anticipate what the interview will look like (http://careertips.jobsmaster.com.ng is one great resource), and then find ways to practice.

If there are particular questions you expect, think about relevant examples you can use and how you want to go about telling those stories. If you expect a case question or a quantitative test, brush up on those skills as much as possible. Have a friend (or career counselor) give you a mock interview, and ask them for their candid feedback.

Just keep in mind that successful interviews require a lot of skills that we do not use on a daily basis – self-promotion, professional etiquette, concise story-telling, etc. Honing those skills beforehand can greatly increase your confidence and decrease your stress levels on the day of the interview!

Just like several people have adviced,confidence is d most important thing,when ur interviewer sees ur level of confidence,ur interview will be more or less like a chat.

I was told to change number 10 to 9 without cancelling in d last interview I went for,though I was smilling with the pen in my hands,I couldn't get it because of tension at that time,it was inside a cab,while trying to figure it out that I realized what I could av done.

Be bold and confident,google the company ur going for and try to read thru questions u'll be asked concerning d position ur applying for....Goodluck.
so how do one really change ten to nine without cancelling??

Just Assume D Interviewer is ur DAD
What if his DAD is as wicked as Abubakar Shekau? I'm sure his mother will be better.



@Topic. LordMekuzy has given you one of the best advice, that helped me to win my second interview ever. I just relax and conclude that the worse is I'm not employed. though it was a group interview of 10 at a time.
