Intent: Either the interviewer is asking in a tone that indicates hisdoubt about your legitimacy as acandidate, or he is asking you to make the connection for him effectively.

Context: You can blow the whole interview here. In fact, you have no business being in the interview unless you are clear why you have what it takesto do the job well.

Response: You might start with naming the top few requirements for this job and then describing how you meet or exceed each one. Or you might begin with your background andsummarize how it has prepared you for this job. Often, the context of the job is almost as important as the skills required, so don't forget to speak to the specific challenges and objectivesyou see in the role.

Intent: Fair question. Why are you? The interviewer knows youare looking for a new opportunity, and at a basic level, a job. Why else? A candidate withgood reasons is going to be more interesting.

Context: This is not about tellingthem what they want to hear. Your reasons could involve opportunity, career fit, cultural fit, interest in their business, personal value proposition fit and your ability to be successful in the job. It's also a great opportunity to illustrate the researchyou've done on the company.

Response: You want to present your reason as a benefit to the employer. If it is the first interview, you might not have allthe answers or will have not made up your mind yet. In this case, use a statement like, "From what I have seen so far...."

Intent: Such an innocent-sounding question, but it is a bit of a trap. The interviewer wants to see how you present yourself,but this is not an offer to recite your resume.

Context: This question, which when asked always occurs at thebeginning of the interview, is a predictable opportunity to craft an engaging, intriguing executive summary of who you are professionally and why you are there. While there is no hard-and-fast rule as to how long it should be, let's say it should last up to a minute. If youare given this opportunity, turn it to your advantage to establish momentum.

Response: The stronger the connection you can make between your background, knowledge and interests, and thejob at hand, the more compelling you will be as a candidate. If there is something notable about your personal life that adds to your candidacy or helps explain your career trajectory, add it. Otherwise, leave personal details out at this stage unless invited to do so.

Intent: Some interview questions are more important thanothers. This is one of them. It's another way of asking," Why should we hire you?"

Context:There are two nuances to thisquestion. The first is asking you to compare yourself to other candidates -- usually a difficult if not impossible task. More importantly, the interviewer is asking you to articulate why you are special.Your response should sum up your main selling points, related specifically to the job requirements.

Response: Consider what you have to offer: past experience directly relatedto the job; specialized knowledge; relevant situational expertise and experience (growth, change, turnaround, startup); skills; networks; demonstrated commitment and enthusiasm forthe business oryour profession; future potential.
Create a list of four to six categories of reasons that best support and summarize your candidacy, and put them in logical order, along with supporting evidence for each reason. Most points should be backed up with follow-up information.

Julieccentric: U ds whistle abi winslet and ur misleading topics..

Small time u go begin update I no know wetin u dey update.

Wch topic is misleading? its d forum policy 2always kip a thread updated so d topic can b seen by new visitors. IF my topics are misleading, d moderators wnt feature a post of mine and permanent it der all dis y.

iebanehita: As much as I am aware that Winsletdc and NaijaInfo21 are the same person, I would make my suggestion.

1. It is highly susceptible to scammers invasion. I hardly register with a jobsite and drop my CV there.

2. I prefer this Idea. With the idea of 'Escrow services', both the buyer and the seller are secured.

3. Don't agree totally with this. Its one thing to set up a blog and its another to commercialize it. Would you train us for a minimal fee on acquiring the requisite skill in executing projects, especially in the ICT field?

IN addition 2wot av written minutes ago, dis is d guy profile link o. Tremayne Curtis
