How to Conquer your job search in Nigeria: Advice

 

I’m so excited to write this post of my experience how I conquered job search in Nigeria....these steps can be helpful though I did used all but I almost did. It's not about how many job application you put in for....that's to say there are many applicants with over 200 job already applied yielding no result. So, I would suggest you applysmarter and not harder when it comes to the job search.
 
Let’s face it — no one loves job searching and no one wants to spend multiple hours each day trying to solve this problem. Unless you’re that one person out there, that means you’re going to have to get smarter and more strategic about the way you job search. Let’s talk about how to make that happen.

Only apply for roles you actually care about and relates to you skill and experience

I find that people start to get a bit desperate while job searching and start applying to anything and everything they can find online, even if they’re not excited about it. They figure that the more applications they get in there, the faster the process will move.
 
Applying to jobs randomly is a complete waste of time. You’re going to waste time on a crappy application, potentially waste more time interviewing if the company calls, and ultimately all of this time is spent for an offer you’re not going to be excited about and may not even take.

3 Common Interview Questions + How to Respond : Hear from Expert Interviewer

                         

 

Saying I’ve interviewed a lot of candidates is an understatement. Think thousands. Each interview is a little different, depending on the person, the job they’re applying for, their years of experience and numerous other factors. However, there are a handful of common interview questions that typically appear in one form or another.

 

I could talk for hours about the best way to answer them, but for now, here’s a bit of a “cheat sheet” on why the question is being asked and the overall gist of how you may want to answer it.

1 / Tell me about yourself.

 

Why they’re asking: They’ve read your resume, but want additional “color” on it. Basically, they want you to talk through the story behind your career path and talk through the things they just can’t read on paper. Mostly, this is your reasoning behind why you’ve made the different job moves you’ve made and what you’re working toward.

 

How you should answer: The best way to answer this is to start at the beginning of your education or work experience and work your way to the present moment. The key here is to make sure all the experiences you’re talking about somehow connect to one another and lead you toward a deliberate goal. Interviewers are looking for you to be thoughtful about your career choices. An example would be, “I chose to study psychology in college because I’m interested in people and the way they think. And after really loving a class I took in organizational psychology, I decided I wanted to pursue a career in human resources,” and so on. You want to connect the dots.
