QUESTIONS TO WATCH OUT FOR IN A JOB INTERVIEW......


When you are going for a job interview, just like I would always say , be prepared for any kind of question that would be thrown at you. Most times employers will want to give you questions that they feel you might not answer in order to know your weak points. Most of these questions might seem like a trap; but then, you cannot  run away from them, but you can use those questions to talk about your strengths and things you can do. Here are some questions that job-seekers are asked all the time;
1.   Why are you the best person for this job?
2.   What  makes you uniquely qualified for this role?

IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS OF A COVER LETTER

Cover letters are a great way to market your self to a prospective employer. This means that you must package your self in your Cover Letter and resume in such a manner that the employer will be willing to buy. Some job-seekers still ask if a cover letter is really important. The answer to that question is yes. This is because, the cover letter and resume are the document a prospective employer sees before meeting you in person. Your Cover letter should be customized and should be able to highlight how your skills will be relevant in the position you are applying for.

For a Cover Letter to be effective, it needs to have the following 5 ingredients:

1. It should be addressed properly. This means that you must find out the name of whom the letter needs to be addressed to. if it is to be addressed to say "Mr Chukwudi Ebube", address it that way and in so doing avoid using general salutations like "Dear Sir", or "To whom it may concern"etc.

2. Highlight your strengths. Let your employer be convinced that you are the best fit for the job. You don't have to exaggerate but make sure your relevant skills are well highlighted.
