The fact that there are less job opportunities everywhere dosen't serve as a yastic for a job finder to give up looking for a job.
Some of the reasons why you don't get a job might be because of how you responded to the interview. This article will guide a job seeker on how to prepare and averagely pass any job interview in 2018.
Before going for a job interview, remember, first impressions are lasting impressions. How you dress will tell your employer about 50% about you. Avoid wearing jeans and sneakers to an interview. If it's an office job, dress as a business person. If it's a factory job, wear slacks and a shirt (clean and pressed), along with neat looking shoes.
If you're a lady, be modest and use less cosmetics. Naija girls, don't pack every kind of colour on your face oh. Wo, you don fail be dat nah!
Always go to the interview alone, bringing your friend or relative will show your employer that you are inmature.
When asked if you've had previous work experience, be honest and avoid exaggeration. You may not know, but you might have had a previous work experience even when you are hunting for your first real job. Were you a good public speaker? Did you use to do domestic works or chores? Did you ever baby-sit? Did you take care of any responsibility at your place of worship? If so, mention them or list it in your CV to show that you can handle responsibility.
Why do you want to work in our company? What made you like the job? Questions like this will sure be asked. You must convince him that you want to do the work and can do it. Don't start telling him about your personal, home or family problems here. He or she is only interested in how well you will fit the job. Thinking about the benefit alone will make your interviewer lose interest in you.
Use good English, be enthusiastic, but don't talk too much (Igbo boys take note!). Listen carefully; be polite. Avoid arguements with your employer.
Finally, if it seems you will not get the job, seek employer's advice about other job vacancies. Send your interviewer a brief thank-you letter immediately after the interview. This will put you in a good standing with him or her.
