Career / New Research Findings:why 99% Of Candidates Don't Pass Their First Interview : by MrAdvisor(m): 4:36pm On May 03, 2007 |
NEW RESEARCH FINDINGS:Why 99% of Candidates Don't Pass Their First Interview Test! Here's the low down.I'll make it short and sweet! Do you have what it takes to attend an interview test to which many others have been invited and still come out as one of the chosen candidates? If you think you are so confident of yourself and think that you already know all that there is to know,you might be in for a shocker.So many people are usually very self cofident until they have attended the 3rd,4th,5th,7th job interview and then they begin to wander what they're doing wrong and why no one is ready to give them a job. A multi-national company in the US hired some career experts to conduct a free for all interview for fresh graduates and they observed that many of those who received the invitation to interview kept making the same mistakes over and over again. Here are the top 25 mistakes that kept recurring: 1. Poor personal appearance 2. Lack of interest and enthusiasm: Passive, indecisive and indifferent. 3. Over emphasis on money: interested only in best money offer. 4. Condemnation of past employers. 5. Failure to look at the interviewer when speaking. 6. Limp, fishy handshake. 7. Unwillingness to travel or relocate to employers preferences. 8. Late for interview. 9. Failure to express appreciation for interviewer's time. 10. Asks no or poor questions about job. 11. Vague, indefinite response to questions. 12. Overbearing, over aggressive, conceited with superiority or "know it all complex." 13. Inability to express self clearly; Poor voice, diction, grammar. 14. Lack of planning for career; no purpose and goals. 15. Unwilling to start at the bottom; expects too much too soon. 16. Lack of confidence and poise, nervous, ill at ease. 17. Makes excuses, evasive, hedges on unfavorable aspects of job history. 18. Lack of tact or cynical. 19. Lack of courtesy; ill mannered. 20. Lack of maturity. 21. Wants job for short time. 22. No interest in company or industry. 23. Low moral standards. 24. Intolerant: strong prejudices. 25. Inability to take criticism. Don't say that you can't make any of these mistakes during an interview.Do not take this list for granted.They are the product of an elaborate research study.The right attitude would be to print them out and work on them. Watch out for solutions to these common interview mistakes including right approaches. Cheers!

Career / Re: Getting That C.V. Right by MrAdvisor(m): 5:49pm On Apr 13, 2007 |
Hi every one, This is Mr Advisor live and direct! Boy! am I amazed at the quality that you guys are displaying here! Ka, from my heart, I think you deserve at a meal at Tantalizers for this beautiful piece! Personally, I recently started studying about cv's -why many don't get the jobs and how best to present them.I think I agree with you on a lot of points. How ever, on the issue of long CV's, Don't you think that Charlie Agoro is rather an exception in the nigerian context? Don't you think that many nigerian Human resource managers are on the impatient side? I will love to make a personal contribution to this topic. Ciao! |
