Here’s a guide to answering the salary question in an interview!

Answering this question wrong can seriously ruin your whole job interview. If you lowball yourself you could either go to work with far less than you could have received or they might think you don’t value yourself and you’ll lose out on the job.

On the other hand, if you pick a number too high they might think they can’t afford you and let you go.

So researching salary ranges for your industry and going in prepared is key 📌

Interview Tip:
Why do you want to leave your current job in less than 6 months?


Tip:
Sometimes we have to change jobs quicker than expected because of the culture, job responsibilities or other reasons.

In the current environment, job-hopping is not seen the same way it was 5 years ago. However, when you explain the reason the critical message to land during the interview is that:

“You have tried to make it work by finding other roles within the organisation or getting more responsibilities.”

And you have to take the decision and move because it’s not aligned with your career goal.

We hope this helps someone. Kindly follow Careermatters NG for more job updates and career tips.

Negotiating your starting salary is important, if you received an offer below your expectations!

An offer should not be taken away from you for negotiating, but they might say no - then it’s your choice to take the job or not.

GREAT INTERVIEW TIPS:

I've interviewed thousands in my career, and I usually know my decision in the first 10 minutes.

Most people go into an interview with the wrong mindset entirely.

You have ONE goal.

It's not about your skills
It's not about qualifications
It's not about proving worth

It's about being MEMORABLE.

Here are 5 tips that will separate you from the crowd:

1. Master the art of telling YOUR story

This is first because it's the MOST IMPORTANT.

You will be remembered for telling your story in an interesting, relatable way.

Study storytelling and practice your stories in the mirror.

Why does this work?

EVERYONE talks about their experience, but few people can communicate it memorably.

Improve this one thing and you'll outperform 80% of your competition.

But, to take it further, let's look at the next one.

2. Become an investigator

SCOUR the internet to learn everything you can about the company.

Here are your best sources of information:

- Their webpage
- Linked-In
- Google

BUT, this only benefits you if you know what to do with the information. You don't study them to create more informed answers (although that IS a benefit).

You do this to show that you're truly interested.

Hiring managers LOVE a candidate who talks about the research they've done on the company.

Tell them your 3 favorite things you read about them.

3. Know how to answer the final question.

Every interview ends the same way...

"Tell me why you're the best candidate for this position"

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION OF THE INTERVIEW

Here's how you ace it, every time..

It's all about your UNIQUENESS.

All candidates say they are:
- Driven
- Hard-working
- Team players

These are boring and NOT unique.

Share EXACTLY what it is that makes you:
- Unique
- Different
- LEGENDARY

4. Ask KILLER questions

At the end of the interview, you will be asked if you have any questions. Most people blow it by not asking any questions at all.

If they do, they ask about:
- Turnaround time
- Training
- Salary

These do not help you.

Instead, ask these 3 killer questions:

- What's the biggest challenge facing the team today?

- What does greatness look like in this role?

- What has your career looked like at this company?

The last one gets them to talk about themselves, which ironically makes them remember you.

5. Communicate your passions

When talking about why you want the job, don't be like everyone else.

Everybody wants:
- More money
- Promotions
- Opportunities

You blend in by saying you want to grow your career.

You should instead tell them your...

PASSIONS.

Managers love candidates who know what they are passionate about.

So tell them how this position aligns with your passions and how you will gain fulfillment in the position. This sends the message that you will work hard because you'll love what you're doing.

Dear Jobseekers,

The last 3 months of the year are usually filled with job vacancies and recruiters always looking for talents to hire. Many people will quit their job, some will be promoted while some follow the current Japarism trend. Don't relent its time to:

1. Revamp your CV
2. Be aggressive with your job search
3. Update your LinkedIn profile and garnish it with added skills/potentials
4. Follow HR professionals on all available media (LinkedIn especially)
5. Relate with companies' websites, the career section
6. Keep checking your mail
7. Make research about your profession's latest news and be updated
8. Be ready for an interview anytime (virtual/onsite)
9. Don't forget appearance is part of interview, don't dress shabbily for interviews either online or physical.
10. Keep praying and trusting God

Good luck! We can't wait to hear the goodnews.

Have a great week ahead tribers
