Tips For Job Seekers: Tough Interview Questions

How do you gain influence and trust as a new hire?

The objective of this question is to ascertain your approaches to establishing professional relationships and fostering self-assurance in your capabilities as a new member of a team or organization. Employers are particularly interested in candidates who can not only excel in their respective fields but also contribute to and improve the organization’s overall dynamic. Consequently, it is imperative to clearly articulate your approach to establishing trust and influence with new colleagues. The following are the primary factors to take into account when responding to this question:

Your initial interactions with new team members and how you exhibit your competency.
How you build relationships professionally.
Your clarification, understanding, and execution of your responsibilities.
Your attitude towards teamwork and collaboration.
How you handle constructive criticism, mistakes, and learning opportunities.

Answer Example
In previous roles, I’ve found that three main strategies have helped me earn trust and influence as a new hire. Firstly, I invest time to get to know my colleagues as individuals. I think it’s essential to understand their roles, challenges and how I might assist them. Secondly, I believe in making my actions speak for me; I work diligently to perform as promised, meet deadlines, and achieve the required standard or higher. Lastly, I accept feedback and continuously strive to improve, demonstrating that I value learning and growth.

Tips For Job Seekers: How to write the perfect CV

Tips For Job seekers

#tipsforjobseekers

Imagine meeting a stranger at a party. What makes for a successful encounter? The first lesson is inspired by an old shampoo commercial: you never get a second chance to make a first impression. The second lesson is that you don’t need extravagant attire to stand out. The third is to remember that what you omit can be as important as what you say.

These principles also apply to writing a CV. A résumé is not an exhaustive list of every job you’ve had or your life story. It’s a marketing tool, much like that hair-care advertisement. Recruiters and hiring managers, akin to party guests, quickly decide if they want to engage further. A study suggests that such professionals spend an average of 7.4 seconds skimming a job application. Here are a few tips to make those seconds count effectively.

Customize your CV for each job application. Highlight the skills and experiences most relevant to the job you’re applying for.

Use a clean, professional layout with clear headings and bullet points.
Stick to a standard font (e.g., Arial, Calibri) and keep it consistent throughout.
Ensure your CV is easy to read by using appropriate spacing and margins.

Start with a compelling personal statement or summary that encapsulates your professional identity and career aspirations in a few sentences.

Highlight your achievements rather than just listing job duties.
Use quantifiable metrics to demonstrate your impact (e.g., “Increased sales by 20%”).

Include a skills section that showcases both hard and soft skills relevant to the job.
Use keywords from the job description to ensure your CV passes through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).

List your work experience in reverse chronological order.
Focus on roles from the past 10-15 years, unless earlier roles are highly relevant.

Include your highest level of education and any relevant certifications.
Mention any honors or distinctions received.

Use Action Verbs!
Start each bullet point with a strong action verb (e.g., “Led,” “Developed,” “Managed”).

Proofread your CV carefully!
Double-check for spelling, grammar, and formatting errors.
Consider having someone else review your CV for a fresh perspective.

Tips For Job seekers

Top tips for asking an employer questions in a job interview

Here are some things to keep in mind before we get to the list of questions you should ask in a job interview:
Do not say that you have no questions. “Nope, I’m good” is probably already something you know to be the worst thing you could say, no matter how worried or relaxed you are or how sure you are that you’ll get the job done.

Best questions to ask about the job

What does a typical day or week look like in this role? (Or one of these alternatives.)
What are the most immediate projects that need to be addressed?
Can you show me examples of projects I’d be working on?
What are the skills and experiences you’re looking for in an ideal candidate?
What attributes does someone need to have in order to be really successful in this position?
What types of skills is the team missing that you’re looking to fill with a new hire?
What are the biggest challenges that someone in this position would face?
What sort of budget would I be working with?
Is this a new role or will I be taking over for an employee who’s leaving?
How does this position contribute to the company overall?
Do you expect the main responsibilities for this position to change in the next six months to a year?

Tough Interview Questions: What Is Your Ambition in Life?

As an interviewer, I would ask, “Could you please share with us what your ambition in life is?” because question helps us understand if you possess a personal drive and motivation to excel in your work.
