I have been opportune to interview
applicants seeking job at my company for
sometime now and I would like to share
some of the things I felt if they did right
would have earned them some space to
meet with the Managing director.
One thing you must first of all have in mind
is that if you do not leave a wow effect on
your interviewer, it will be difficult for them
to even call you back. You want to be
ed after the interview right?.
These are some of the things the people I
have interviewed did but left me feeling like
they would be a wrong fit for the company:
1) Talking too much . When you talk too
much, your words lose value.
2) Contradicting yourself . You studied
Biology but you applied for a logistics role
so I asked why logistics and you said you
just love logistics and its what you want to
do.
I asked further where you see yourself in 3
years and you said you see yourself as a
renowned biologist. Isn't that confusing?.
3) Looking like a rockstar with Baloteli hair
style and several hand bands on your wrist.
4) Slouching on the chair. Sitting lazily and
in a drooping way.
5) Using buzz words that you don't even
know its meaning or at worst your
interviewer doesn't even know what it
means.
6) Looking disinterested. Have a sharp
countenance on.
7) Walk across the room with power . To do
this, make sure your strides are fast but
well taken.
As a result of the above, I will like to share
some successful interview conducts to help
you scale through your next interview.
1) Be confident . This means you act it even
if you are not it . Stand tall and let your pace
and stride be firm and fast as this makes
you appear confident.
2) Dress smart and stay sharp.
3) Always wear a subtle smile on your face .
This helps you to ease nervousness.
4) When you enter the room, close the door
behind you without looking back.
5) Do not sit until you are asked to do so .
6) Research on the organisation and know
as much as you can about your interviewer
if possible.
7) Ask smart questions if you are asked to.
cool Have a well comported body language
that conveys confidence, professionalism,
interest and ion.
9) Leave a closing remark.
These tips are things a lot of people do not
do at interviews trust me. They are simple
tips yes! but it goes a long way when you
act accordingly.
You might think everyone knows this but I
can tell you that out of the 10 people I
interviewed this past weeks, none of them
acted accordingly. http://www.hrtechnique.com/2016/09/how-to-act-during-job-interviews.html?m=1

Just make sure you pray before entering the interview room. Everything you do will seem perfect when God takes control

I have a lot of thing to say but will focus on the number 3..."wear subtle smile"...
so, after frustration and years of job hunting with no hope in a useless country, you expect me to put a smile right?? I don't do fake smile, something have ignite it and if it doesn't come to hell with the interviewer, when we get to the salary aspect and you said you'll pay me a million per month...just watch and see a natural smile coming out of nowhere ... this country is too damn bad for a smile

All these writes up here and there about interviews,no sure way to answer for interview questions.There are millions of writes up,yet none can be said is the best.People that don't even follow any of the so called rules got jobs through connection which is 70 percent way of getting job in Nigeria.
