How to Nail Every Job
Interview

You’d be hard pressed to find
anyone who absolutely loves
going to job interviews. For
many, it’s an incredibly tense
experience, especially when
you’re not sure exactly what
to expect going in. You can
rehearse your answers all
you want, but chances are
that something’s going to
come up that you never
expected.
Fortunately, there is a few
simple things you can do to
help your next job interview
go as smoothly as possible.
While you can never completely
guarantee yourself the job of your
dreams, a clear head and
plenty of preparation can go
a long way towards
impressing an interviewer.

Before the Interview

Your first impression is the
most important one, so
naturally, make sure you
look presentable before you
go in for the actual
interview. Dress and groom
yourself appropriately and
prepare any materials you
might need (such as a
resume, portfolio, work
samples, etc.) beforehand.
You should also research the
organization thoroughly so
that you’ll be ready to
answer any relevant
questions about their work.
More tips to keep in mind ;

*Be on time

*Don’t over-rehearse your
answers

*Bring a notebook and
pen so you can take notes

During the Interview

The way you present
yourself will drastically affect
the way that people perceive
you. Be polite and give a firm
handshake when you first
meet the interviewer. Make
sure you speak clearly and
don’t go too far off topic
when giving your answers. If
you need a few moments to
formulate a response, don’t
be afraid to ask for them;
most interviewers would
rather you take your time to
think carefully than just
rattle off something as
quickly as possible.
Also, remember to ;

*Use confident posture

*Frame your answers in a
way that relates to the job

*Be honest

After the Interview

Once the interview is over,
you might be tempted to
just rush out the door and
wait for the employer to
contact you. But don’t forget
to leave them with a strong
final impression; give a
strong handshake, thank
them for their time, and
leave behind a copy of your
resume and work samples.
Be sure to follow up later via
phone, letter or email.

prepare yourself when

Thanks op...am having a job interview tomorrow, I will work on everything u mention ..God bless
*modified* the interview was a sucess...bless God and i get to meet a lot of nairalanders today, its realy nice geting to meet some personalities behind the monikers here.
What i can deduce from today's interview was that employer are not wiling to train employees on the job, they are rather looking for people wt experience of the job in question...so my fellow job seekers, while we are looking for jobs lets us also try to update our knowledge nd skills ,i think there are stil jobs out there but the conditions are tough

Nice one

I have a few questions for you on this interview thing.
I hope other nairalanders can assist with useful information.

If you’ve put 11 years into working in a certain sector especially as you started at the age o f 29 which makes you 40 years old on your current job
What are the chances of growth and development?
Do you still stay put with your current employer or seek to find opportunities outside?
At age 40 which employer/employers would regard you a capable hand with the scores of young brains waiting for an opportunity to serve?
For someone my age, how can one apply for unadvertised job opportunities for experienced hires?
I’ll appreciate mature responses.

Nice

Na so OP... nice one thr... See this thread to know how to write mouth watering CVs... https://www.nairaland.com/284958/mouth-watering-cv

j...for jalingo

The job itself is also an issue to keep. I.e unnecessary tax, owing of salaries, job insecurity and so on.

The job field can even make you lose your aim in life.

The major thing is that have passion for the job. Not just the money. That's what makes you progress.

Nice tips

...

Good
