Allegory:
Watched the channel 'Write to top' for writing. Watched so many of his videos about grammar and sentence construction. Really helped me, because I didnt even have time to complete my essay yet got a decent score. I also read sample essays/letters on ieltsliz.

For listening and reading i watched E2ielts, i would apply their listening and reading tips to past questions until i was consistently getting 39-40 in all tests.

Speaking, still tips from e2ielt's Jay, then just watching all the random speaking videos that popped up in my recommendations. Started applying all the tips when answering phone calls or talking to random people that didnt know i was using them to practice.

Hey guys, I passed my IELTS with an overall band score of 8.0 (L-8.5, R-8.5, W-7.0, S-7.0).. Thank you all so much, I went through various advices on this thread and it really helped me. I prepared only with 'IELTSLiz' and took practice questions from 'Ieltsonline'. I was actually expecting a higher band score than this but I still thank God all the same

Good

So tell me about yourself

Have you ever been into a situation where you are literally close to getting the job of your dream but the interview seems to turn out badly?

You submitted your CV and you waited, waited and finally, the hiring company put a call through, you're glad and can't wait to start your long-awaited job.

And now you got the interview, you're sitting across the table and the hiring manager smile and asked you this simple question:

"TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF"

And you panic…
You don't know what to say…
You don't know where to start..
You're starting to stutter.

Half-way through the conversation, you literally slammed yourself for the response you gave.

You said to yourself "Urgh, why did I even say that?"

You never get a second chance to make the first impression.

Usually, that hiring manager makes up his or her mind in the first 3 minutes of the conversation.

And so painful, you lost the job.

Well, do not give up.

I've been there and I felt so bad too but I decided to turn things around by finding the best answer to this question.

Usually, whenever I'm asked this question, my response is always about my background, parents, school, color, etc.

However, the hiring manager is not interested in any of this, he's not interested in your life story.

His major concerns are what you are offering to the company.

So this question literally translates to

"What value could you bring to the company"

They are asking what you're bringing to the table.

I mean...

What problem can you solve for the company?

So when answering this question always allow your statement revolves around what's in it for them.

Let your response to each question always be tied back to the benefits the company is deriving from it.

You also want to be your best self when answering this question.

In my search for an authentic answer to this question, I've figured out a template that is best suited.

I used this template for one of my online interviews and it worked like magic.

I didn't believe my eyes when I saw the outcome of this strategy.

This super template will make you become irresistible to your hiring manager. It will literally make them beg you for the job.

I know you don't believe it, but follow me closely.

Here's what I'm talking about.

I call it the 3S formula.

To break it down, this is what it means:

SUCCESS, STRENGTH, SITUATION.

Now, let's take it a bit practical.

Beginning with the first S, which stands for SUCCESS.

Whenever you are being asked such questions (Tell me about yourself).

Start by sharing your SUCCESS.

You can start with…

I have been…..

For example, let's say you're applying for a Social Media Manager position, you would say something like...

"I have been doing social media management for the past three years, I specialize in helping companies and entrepreneurs grow their fan page, and in the last three years alone have helped dozens of clients in over 10 industries.

And on average, I've been able to help my clients improve engagement and grow their fan page from 300-500% in less than 6 months and that's what I'm passionate about"

Did you see that?

Let's move to the second S, which is…

STRENGTH

To apply that you'll say something like…

My real strength……

For example,

My real strength is the ability to truly understand what your audience wants. I pride myself on my reputation in creating engaging and compelling content I know your audience will love and want to share.

Moving to the last S, which is the SITUATION.

This basically is where you become so irresistible to your employer.

You'll show them how you can apply your previous success and strength to the situation of their company.

To do that you'll begin with a simple sentence like:

What I'm looking for….

For example, you can say.

What I'm looking for is a company where I could add value and produce a positive Return On Investment (ROI), a company where I could join a strong team.

Is this what your (name of company) is looking for?

Did you see that?

Make sure you add that question because the person who asks the question controls the conversation.

Now you might be asking yourself…

Does this mean I have to memorize some sort of script when attending an interview?

The answer is a resounding "Yes".

Understand that you have many people competing with you for that same job and you can't afford to lose at this time.

So make adequate preparation when attending that interview. It's worth it.

Hello guys.. please is it possible to claim work experience while schooling as an undergraduate? My CRS is currently 464 cos I have only 2 years postgraduate work experience. I heard I can claim points for experience while schooling. I don’t know how true it is cos I worked while schooling and I can prove it. Please help

Your Answer is staring at you, No one would answer you..
Like it has been answered here over and over again.. Work experience count as an undergraduate if its Paid(wages or commission) and continuous.. Read what you uploaded.
It has to be Paid Employment, not Volunteer

1. Go to standard chartered bank or Stanbicibtc or call their customer service online to confirm if their monthly dollar limit for naira debit card is still $500. If it is you can open account there, get the card and use.
Or
2. Get a dollar card from any of your present bank. it could be a prepaid dollar card which you will fund by buying dollars from aboki.

N.B your payment should be 230 Canadian dollar = $175 USD. Just edit your details, choose postal courier $7 (and not express or DHL) and use your Nigeria address as you don't really need the hard copy from express courier. WES will send soft copy to IRCC and you'll have the downloadable soft copy in your profile which you can save on your PC and print if you wish. You are also not supposed to pay tax HST except you just want to dash Canada money, mind you there are still lots of money to spend in this journey hence no need of wastage.

I was always afraid the lights had gone off when it appears as if the fridge has stopped working.. Obviously the thermostat regulating the temperature.
The lights has not blinked. My shoes hardly get dirty even after walking hundreds of metres.

As a youth try and explore other worlds, Nigeria is an upside down country - this is the best way I can describe it as I am short of words. A country where a PhD holder answers sir to a school certificate holder.

Has it been easy, sure no. But the pain is worth it. Well worth it.

Last word, don't do it for yourself, do it for your kids, your future generation, they will one day thank you.

"For my kids and future generation "
Thats the drive! you're right

Toronto islands by ferry. If you're a nudist there is a designated beach in Toronto islands for you.

Thanks bro.. Make I no see Canada bkos I never write IELTS. The way some So called Seniors think ehn.. I wonder if they have kids or plan to have one

r4blessing:
Mr flyingpig, when u are asked to stop doing something, u stop it for peace sake. Its bad you are acting this childishly.

Richdee1, you haven't even written ielts exam or done your evaluation but u are already causing nuisance. Nobody needs that. If u need google pictures of Canada u can google it yourself.

STOP ACTING CHILDISH BOTH OF YOU.

Please tell me again that I haven't written IELTS all kus I asked for Canada pics.. like bruh
Its fine.. ��
And there is nothing childish about this
Keep on being the Old Man you are

saskatoonguy:
baba, You need to face your studies, finish up on time and start your immigration process. All these send pics! Send pics! Will not. Change anything. I know a lot of people that didn't see any Canadian picture before they get convinced to relocate, if you are looking for motivation to JAPA, Think of BUHARI, that's enough motivation.
Picture is not what this place is all about.
The name of the Thread is Living in Canada/Life as a Canadian Immigrant not Gallery of physical attractions in Canada

Have a good day

Thanks for the headsup Baba.. Well on a good day that schools are open, I hardly have time to come on here to say a thing, I'll just read and Pass. Its the lockdown that's keeping me glued to this thread. and I believe even those in Canada are also indoors. I'm a travel freak and love to see new places, virtually or Physically, thats why I'm always yearning to see places in Canada, which u know I'll get there. Buh u see that Nairaland Methuselah screaming up and down like his father owns Canada,his own is too much.
once again, Thanks for the "Elderly Advice"

Kekereekun123:

"cleanest city" is relative.
Live in Calgary if it meets all what you desire, not just for its cleanliness.
Consider the vibrancy of its economy, the mix of its population, job availability, good schools and available recreation as well as a busy Int'l airport for ease of travelling.
Calgary is lovely, but being one of the "cleanest city in the world", I do not know.
I live and enjoy living in Calgary.
Hope to see you soon.

Can u help us with some pictures?
At least make una make this place lively
