12 Things You Should Never Say In Job Interviews

By Angela Wahome,
“Sarah would not stop talking, basically she hijacked the interview. She inquired about phone charges, medical benefits and asked if the company had lunch breaks and if there would be a microwave as well as a kettle. She then explained that the profession was chosen, for her by her parents, the same profession for which we were interviewing her for and she wanted out. She gave rambling five-minute answers to questions that could have been answered with a simple yes or no. Her handshake was like a death-grip that jingled and jangled (she had on way to many metal bangles) when she vigorously shook my hand with gusto.”
The takeaway: Don’t be like Sarah, if you want to land the job. Here are a dozen more things you should never say or show at a job interview.
1. But this is my lucky suit I have had forever. Fail to dress the part or have good grooming and you can sink your chances before you say a word.
2. You think this is disorganized. Wait till you see me on work projects. Neglecting to bring information required on the application, or bringing too few copies (or none at all) of your clean/grammatically correct CV, looks just plain careless.
3. Sorry what’s the name of your company and what do you do?  Exactly what a recruiter need to hear, at the end of an interview in response to, to confirm that your CV belongs in the trash.
4. I expect you to provide the exact job I want on my terms — now. Do not be to demanding or you’ll risk eliminating yourself, completely.
5. I couldn’t care less. You don’t want an awkward silence when asked if you have any questions. Speak up.
6. If you hire me, you’d better get your own CV up to date. Come across as overly aggressive and you may scare the interviewer into rejecting you.
7. You say too much. Sharing confidential information about past or present employers will make the interviewer wonder if you can be trusted.
8. I think you’re not playing with a full deck. If you’re asked the “What are your weaknesses?” question, the interviewer wants a straight answer. Mention one noncritical area you’d like to polish.
9. I’m just going to go ahead and answer the question I wish you’d asked. Failing to answer the question that was actually posed will frustrate the interviewer; make them feel you have something to hide, or wonder if you are able to take instructions.
10. Turn up at the interview like a wet rag. A negative attitude regarding your current or past employers or colleagues will make your stock drop.
11. Ask not what I can do for you. What can you do for me? This is well covered at the top, where Sarah began asking at the top. Asking questions about salary or benefits prior to getting a job offer is a major “no-no”.
12. You fail to mention you are passionate. Candidates who leave without underscoring their great interest in being hired are quickly forgotten.

3 Secret Questions You Must Answer To Land The Job

By Angela Wahome
Interviews are often looked at as difficult. The interviewer is interrogating you, giving you questions and you end up fumbling. “gotcha” questions. When we are talking we are so focused on ourselves and what we are going through that we forget to prepare and think of what they are actually looking for. Their main goal is to find a good candidate that they can work with and that can deliver result as well as have the capacity to grow in that job.
Make sure you understand what they are looking for. Prepare to shine. Know your strengths and highlight them. Make sure the personal strengths you plan to emphasize in your interview match the demands of the position. On the big day, present yourself as a candidate with the right skills and temperament for the job. Your confidence, enthusiasm, knowledge, and understanding should confirm what your interviewer is already predisposed to believe: that bringing you in for an interview is a wise move and that hiring you is even wiser.
When interviewing, hiring managers are hoping to explore some basic areas:
Can you convince me that we need you?
You might enter an interview prepared to recite a litany of skills and work experience, but interviewers aren’t looking for a walking, talking CV. They’re already intrigued by your skills—that’s why they’re called you to interview with them. The reason they need to meet with you in person is to gauge your personal qualities, to see if you’ll be an asset to the workplace. Intangible attributes—resourcefulness, initiative, creativity, adaptability, drive, and integrity—will set you apart from other qualified candidates.
Top SecretCan you work well in a team?
The corporate workplace is increasingly a team-driven environment. Because of this, organizations are especially eager to hire people whom they think will get along well. This might mean a tough adjustment for academic high achievers who are used to working on their own. But as much as interviewers might be gauging your individual strengths, they are also evaluating your ability to be a team player.
Can you work well with people?
Interviewers are probably less interested in your IQ than your EQ—your emotional intelligence. You can have a high IQ and still lack common sense and empathy. Employers are learning that intelligence isn’t always the most desired thing for new recruits, especially when it comes at the expense of being able to judge people and situations and decide the best course of action to take. After all, perfectly smart people were responsible for some phenomenal failures.
While you may be intelligent, show that you also have to show that you have good common sense, are easy to work with and you own your work.

5 Ways To Tell If Your CV Is Boring The Recruiter To Death


Does your CV resemble a checklist, to-do list, a laundry list? Have you desperately tried to convince your prospective employers of your qualifications by including everything but the kitchen sink on your CV? Don’t.
Believe me, Human Resource Managers know what a job description is and they have seen thousands of CVs. While the HR’s goal is to screen CVs and identify qualified candidates, the person doing the screening, well, is a person.
And no one enjoys being bored to death, especially when sifting through long-winded CVs that repeat their all-too-familiar job description.
Here is a little secret: Many hiring managers actually write job descriptions. So, you are not doing them (or yourself) any favours by including a list of bullets with your daily job duties and responsibilities.  Understand your CV’s job is not to give away every little detail of what your job entailed. That is not it’s job at all!
Instead, your CV’s job is…
To list your employment, so they know you have experience; include job titles, so they know you have done the job before; include dates, so they gauge your loyalty and employable record; and, include education, certifications, and professional development, so they verify your credentials.
CVThe rest of the CV is marketing, so you can set yourself apart from other job seekers. How do you outdistance other job seekers? With differentiating, interesting and attention capturing copy that can catch the attention of the hiring manager. It is also important that you motivate them to “buy” what you are selling “you.”
Therefore, before you decide to use your CV to tell HR what an Operations Manager does, what a Creative Director is suppose to do, what Sales Managers are in charge of, try instead to capture their attention by telling them concisely;
a) How well you did it. Tell a story of what challenges you faced, how you creatively overcame them, and paint a picture of the results your efforts produced.
Now, that, will ensure you are memorable, entertaining, and worth an invitation into the office for a personal interview.
CV checklist for any job seeker
Here is a CV checklist to help determine if you have said way too much and if the “HR Lady” is snoring on the other end.
1. Is your Career Profile longer than five to six sentences?
Keep things short, sweet and employer-focused. It helps if you write this section last.
2. Have you included more than say two to three soft skills in your in you Key Professional Skills?
Soft skills (work ethic, ability to work under pressure, and the likes) can be the X factor that differentiates you and energizes your writing. When you present your soft skills do so in the context of your work. Try not to mention, hardworking, honest, as it is not substantiated.
By writing in a line describing what you did and the results you capture the HR’s attention. But be careful that if you list too many of these, you will weaken your candidacy. On the flip side, substantiated and concrete skills (proficient at using SAP software), can help strengthen your candidacy.
3. Is it difficult to identify your hard skills?
Technical skills, experience listed through the use of industry jargon and proficiencies such as staff management, operations improvement and sales cycle. These should be clearly identified and simplified to ensure that it is easy to understand.
4. Does your employment history resemble a job ad?
Have you just defined what your job title means by recounting the reason you were hired? Don’t do this. Instead, focus on how you performed in this role, how you owned the role, and tell a story of the scope of your work and some of the obstacles you faced and overcame and how you better positioned the department or company.
5. Do you have about 10 or more bullets under each job description?
Remember, accomplishments are to be put in bullets.  While you may have more than a few accomplishments under each role, a professional CV writer can combine similar achievements, identify which are worth mentioning and support smaller accomplishment in this section. There are a very many ways to identify and illustrate your professional milestones without having to list 20 bullets under each job title.
Writing a CV that is not boring can give you the break you need, by getting you notice, which is one step closer to the interview. So, you will be closer to landing your dream job.

5 Ways Of How To Beat Unemployment Depression

Not so long ago, there was this special case of a graduate who committed suicide for the mere fact that he could find a job. That is the extent extreme depression will take you if you are not careful.
We’ve all been job seekers in one time or the other,  even those who are still working. You will all agree with me that, unemployment can be depressing. For many, especially fresh graduates, those who are fired or retrenched; the initial news can be followed by days of laying on the sofa, eating and watching TV.
Perhaps you just can’t believe that you no longer have somewhere to go in the morning. And the idea of putting in the energy to get another job sounds overwhelming. Characterized by numbness, disbelief and even weariness.
For fresh graduates, most of them experience challenges entering in the job market. Getting an internship is even a problem and one wonders why an employer’s does not want free labour? Others search for jobs and may be lucky enough to get it but most stay for months and even years without jobs.
The result is you either get any job that comes your way and get more frustrated in it or just get resigned from job searching.
Depression
Don’t let depression get to you as you job search
People in this situation (especially men) are extremely vulnerable to depression as they: deal with the loss of identity from not having a steady job, deal with the constant rejections from potential employers, struggle to find a reason to get up in the morning, tighten the belt financially, live with the regrets of decisions that have led them to this point, and sometimes lose hope and wonder if anyone will ever give them a chance.
There are some strategies that can help you to deal with depression when you’re unemployed and looking for a job.
1.Don’t isolate yourself.  One of the easiest traps that people fall into when they’re unemployed is to spend less time with others.  This can be due to embarrassment about their situation or not wanting to give the impression that they’re not being industrious about looking for work, but whatever the case is, it’s extremely important to maintain contact with a positive group of peers.
More so, sharing your challenges with others, spending time with people can give you a network that can help you to find the job that you’re after. Therefore, keep going to church, join a sporting club or gym, stay connected to your friends and start accepting those invitations that you get.
2. Volunteer your time- Visit a children’s home, clean up exercises, volunteer in community education/ sensitization. I have seen quite a few people who were unemployed for a long time volunteer once or twice a week in the community and it made a significant difference to their mindsets. It got them out of the house, broke up the tedium of the week, helped them to feel useful again and gave them a different perspective as they assisted people who were worse off than them.
3. Build your skills-  One of the other advantages of volunteering is that it can give you the opportunity to develop new skills.  Of course, this isn’t the only way to do this.  Study a short course, read great books and blogs or start working on a project by yourself that can hone the skills that will be of assistance to you in the long-term.
Learning and growing is great for your mindset, giving you a greater sense of control over your future that can be difficult to maintain during periods of long-term unemployment.
4. Keep applying for jobs- Don’t fall for the trap that because you’ve been rejected on multiple occasions that you will never be given a chance.  Remember that the only guarantee in job hunting is that if you don’t apply for a job, you won’t get it. Therefore, apply for as many roles as can even when you don’t meet every criterion on the job advertisement.
You’re not in control of what recruiters are looking for, so don’t say no for them, if it’s a role that you are interested in and you think you can do it, send in your application and see what happens.
5. Look after yourself physically- People who are in the throes of depression find it a challenge to exercise and eat right, but this is a dangerous trap. Continuing to maintain a consistent exercise regime, eating healthily, maintaining a high standard of personal hygiene and dressing smartly has a dual effect:
1.    It helps you to feel happier and more confident.
2.    It makes you more attractive to potential employers, not because you look better (although that doesn’t hurt), but because you feel more positive about yourself.
I know that it’s difficult to maintain a positive mindset when you’ve been unemployed for a long period of time, but I hope that at least one of these strategies is helpful to anyone who finds themselves in that situation.
