If you want to boost your confidence go and join an insurance company as a marketer. Talk to people for just 2months believe me,you won't fear facing anybody,the confidence would be there always... Try it you won't believe the magic it does...

AriDsexy:
Just like several people have adviced,confidence is d most important thing,when ur interviewer sees ur level of confidence,ur interview will be more or less like a chat.

I was told to change number 10 to 9 without cancelling in d last interview I went for,though I was smilling with the pen in my hands,I couldn't get it because of tension at that time,it was inside a cab,while trying to figure it out that I realized what I could av done.

Be bold and confident,google the company ur going for and try to read thru questions u'll be asked concerning d position ur applying for....Goodluck.

And how did you arrived at changing 10 to 9? please can you explain how you eventually did it while in the cab? i wanna learn

bros... op should encourage himself in the Lord o

how did he defend his project to graduate?
he should do the same thing.

having submitted 300 applications and gotten less than 5 interviews.. u dont expect me to pat a dude on his back cos he is timid.
if he is, let him step down for others

To change number 10 to 9,could the answer be 10-1=9

Bros ke? Mmm

Not everyone defended their project,take for example me and also not every department do defence e.g accounting(Delsu).

I don't get it,what has that got to do with the op. Am sure you also felt that way when you went for your first interview.

And no I don't expect you to pat him in the back rather atleast give him guidelines on how to overcome his shyness/fear. Like he said he has never been for an interview,so it is normal for him to feel jittery at first.

Some of the bold and confident people you see today started out being shy/timid/fearful and am sure if people had told to move aside and let others take over,they won't be where they are today. Some just need a little guidance,a push here and a shove there in order for them to wake up and be able to take control of things. So give the op a breathing space am sure he would learn and take charge of his fear.

Thank you jare.

AriDsexy:


Get a piece of paper and write down number 10,change it to 9 without cancelling....try it urself,and see how sharp u can reason.

2goodbobo,try it too.

Note:its not a trick question,its either u know it or u don't.

Tunagee:


These are the things to do:

1. just see yourself as better than all the interviewers. Most of them are dullards that do not know anything, but can only intimidate job seekers during interview.

2. Do not see it as a do or die affair. If it works fine; if it does not, life goes on.

3. Ensure you look straight into the eyes of the interviewer( very important)

4. Put up a smile and ensure you do not get overwhelmed with fear. They would not kill you.

If you meet a white man, he would even make the situation less tense or serious by offering you water or tea; but the stupid nigerian interviewer would look so mean just to scare you

There are questions that employers commonly ask at job interviews and it's important to be prepared to respond to those interview questions. I have never gone for a job interview before, i have read about the potential questions online, and practically memorized their answers but i still feel that I will freeze on the day of the interview.

I dont want to be put on the spot during the job interview. What can I do?
