One of the most challenging aspects of youthful life is in the area of employment. Every graduate wants to come out of the higher institution and be gainfully employed. But, it has not always happened as they have expected or hoped. Apart from the fact that the nation might be lagging in the areas of provisions of employment and welfare facilities for a sustainable life for the people, some personal-based habits could deprive people of their chances and opportunities. We shall discuss in this article the three things you must do to secure your chances as an unemployed person when going for an interview.
1. Arrive Early At the Venue
One of the major factors that determines an employer's interest in a candidate is punctuality. No one would love to employ an habitual latecomer, who would mar their work with lateness. As an undergraduate, seeking employment, whenever you receive an invite for either an aptitude test or a job interview, you must be at the venue at least an hour before the time. This time around, it is not about you coming to the venue early enough so as not to miss the interview but rather, to establish an endearing notion of you in the mind of the interviewer. Some companies do intentionally inform their security officers to watch closely the candidates to deduce some attributes from them.
Also, they could monitor the candidates through their strategically placed CCTVs. Through this, they would monitor punctuality, composure, attitude and conversations, sometimes. As a result of this, you have already started your interview unconsciously.
2. Watch Your Attitude And Manners While You Wait
Sometimes, some organizations that have called for Interviews have intentionally delayed the process, to observe people's attitudes and manners while they wait. This has made so many people lose out on very good employment opportunities. Some people, when they notice that the interview session is delayed, they would start to grumble and complain. By the time they would be through with the interview, they would wait in vain to hear any feedback. They have been dropped.
3. Try To Have Some Major Knowledge About The Organization And Your Field Of Study
Some people have been deprived of chances of being employed as a result of their lack of information about the organization that called them for interviews. Also, some people, while the interviewer goes through their curriculum vitae, would love to delve into their field of Study thereby asking them questions, regarding the Course of Study. Some have fell flat shamefully as they could not defend their results. Even, after you might have graduated and while you seek employment, do not cease to refresh your knowledge in your field of study. You cannot tell, it might be your only way of being employed, even in organizations that do not have anything related to your course of Study.
