If you're good enough you wouldn't need an interview. I don't imagine any company interviewing Elon Musk of 2022 for a job should he take up a job offer. Nor CZ of Binance. Let's work on our craft. 2 Likes |

phill63: This is true... and common. Most likely when you see a clueless person holding down a job ... it is either by connection....or the person is very good at interviews. I know people who have the gift of words .... you will think they have PhD... but are illiterates.... and I mean illiterates.... cannot read or write to save their lives. 2 Likes |

Q:Why Should We Hire You? A:Well, I am a confident, hardworking and a very professional individual. I have always carried out all the tasks assigned to me without hesitation, provided the instructions from my Reporting Managers or seniors were clear. I have also been a good mentor to my juniors and never hesitate to guide them. On the other hand, I am a creative person and I love to test my boundaries. In order to do so, I keep pushing myself to think out of the box!” 4 Likes |

Heterodox: It goes beyond what you are, but HOW you will go about it. The interviews I participate in my private concern centers on specifics these days and a lot of employers I know are not shying away from positing real life scenarios, issues affecting them which they desire the would be employee to tackle. The Nigeria economic scenario of today more or less demands specialists in a variety of positions and the candidate must be prepared to provide solutions on the fly. At least to test whether he or she is mentally capable and alert to the present day realities. There was this interview where the candidate was given a company report and given 30 minutes to go over it and suggest solutions for a turnaround within 3 weeks. This is blatantly brutal but hey, that is the reality of corporate Nigeria today. 2 Likes |

Walkee:Look around you bro, my generation has been made to understand that salary work is a curse. We have been shaped to work solo. So me deciding to work for company means I see something that will skyrocket my discovery. I see it as a partnership. So they are lucky to have me in that interview |

Jaycobbs:Nice, however, I took a different approach a few years ago and the interviewers were impressed. I just told them...because your (company's) vision "is" in line with my vision. This would give me not just room to grow but enjoy my duties/tasks. The next follow-up question was: what was my vision....So I went ahead to discuss (at length) the vision and how it aligned with that of the company. They asked me to resume the following day! 3 Likes |

Jaycobbs: Until when we break free from this mental block. It's not a must someone must hire you. Think of doing something on your own. It won't be easy but you can try. They said 240,000 of 600,000 naija yearly graduates will be unemployed. If you are an undergraduate or a graduate... Kindly check my signature for a solution. You won't regret it. Thanks. |

BABYharder:if you show up for the interview you should be able to prove why they are lucky to have you. That's exactly what the posters is trying to teach you. You don't just show up in my house and tell me I'm lucky to have you around, you should make me see how I'm lucky you are around 1 Like |

Mercychen: Actually, the white girl was right. But anyway, there is no one-size fit all answer to the question, it depends on the circumstances that leads to that question, the nature of the job, answer to an engineering job will be different from sale person's job or a medical job, likewise, level of experience. for example products manufacturing, if you have the experience you don't need too much talk. a developer - no need too much talk. a mechanic for example - hire him, give ham car to repair and let see. Don't sell yourself cheap and don't do more than what you are being paid to do. and don't forget to invest some percentage of your paycheck on SPY stock 1 Like 1 Share |

For me I try to match my experience, skills and acheivements with the JOB description as published on the internet. So if you want a front end developer with 2yrs experience that knows html css JavaScript and one framework as published on the internet Then repeat to them that you know they seek a candidate that has xyz with x number of experience and this is an area you have honed for x number of years. You have extensive knowledge in frameworks like react and angular which you have applied in helping improve business revenue and increasing visibility. And you would like to apply these skill set in this role if you can be brought on board. Once you show them that what they are looking for is in a guy sitting next to them. Forget about the salary negotiation, coz u will have the upper hand. 1 Like |

Jaycobbs: Nice but job description does not state the reason why they want to employ you. And stating within 90 days, you would have achieved certain things could be counter productive. In some profession, it takes a while to hit the ground running. Don't invite undue pressure or state unrealistic deadline because you want to land a job. Don't oversell yourself. 1 Like |

Heterodox: Why would a company not interview Elon Musk?..... but interview you instead (who may be just as good as he)? Let's not always try to find a way to inject Elon Musk or Bill Gates or the other one from Google into any discussion that has to do with jobs. |
