Getting through a Job Interview - How to Sell Yourself in a Winning Style
|
If
you are unable o find a job having faced many interviews it
is high time you looked at yourself and be prepared with a
better approach for your next topjobs interview. First thing
you should understand that it is not a suprise that you do
not suceed in a job interview where the subject vacancy does
not match or require your existing qualifications &
experience. Therefore first you need to be more careful with
your job applications because blindly applying to each and
every vacancy advertisement will not gain you anything as
you are not likely to be called for an interview. Therefore
before applying for a job you need to check whether you meet
the minimum criteria specified in the job advertisement.
Most of the time in Sri Lanka, when a job advertisement is
published then employers get so many applications and they
will shortlist the candidates based on the minimum
qualifications. Therefore you need to be concerned if only
you have failed despite you had all the essential
qualifications and experience....

Writing an Appealing CV/Resume |

Common Questions asked at the Interviews/span>
|
If
you are looking for a job, then you would probably have
CV/resume to be used in applying for job vacancies. However
did you ever think that using the same format CV/resume for
any job vacancy may not be the best way of doing it? It is
important that you design your CV/resume for each job
application because every employer's expectations are not
the same. For intance, if you take "Management Trainee"
vacancy, one company may expect to deploy the management
trainees in the sales & marketing while the other in

anlayse what the advertisement says and highlight your
experince, qualifications & other infomation to suite the
employer's requirement. It is also important to do a simple

is always important that you at least visit the Company
website before you prepare the job application as it will
provide you most of the information about the Company & its
ownership....
It
is not possible to say what sort of questions will be asked
at an interview as it will depend on many factors including
the person who is interviwing and the management style of
the Company. However there are very common questions which
are generally asked at the interviews. However answers to
the common questions can not be the same as they will depend
on the job vacancy and the posotion applied for. However
some basic guideline for such answers can be provided. Therefore it is important to be
prepared for the suitable answers for these common questions
in the light of the available information about the company,
job and its responsibilities. For instance an
interviewer may ask "how do you improve the efficiency
of the subordinates?"
To answer to this question well, you may have to have some
understanding about the culture within the company and its management
style. Therefore, you need to have more and more information
& awareness about the company, job and its...
