TIPS FOR JOBSEEKERS

Be at your best when you apply!

Start with your Resume.
Do not just bring a simple bio-data, make sure you have several printed copies of your resume with professional looking photo (do not just cut and paste your Facebook profile picture). Make sure that all the data on your Resume must be updated,check the spelling,contact details and highlight the important information that can help you win the job.

Your Look!
Check the clothes that you need to wear, it is better that you wear a smart casual attire when you face the interviewer/s of the companies that you are applying for. It's not just look but you have to be sure that you are comfortable with what you are wearing.
Remember FIRST Impression LAST.

The Big Day!
Expect the unexpected. During the interview, maintain eye contact, focus on the interviewers questions. When you answer, think first,gather your thoughts before you utter any words. Be straight to the point, don't go around the bushes. The usual question that they always ask is "Tell me something about yourself?" I know most of you, you already have this memorized, but please do not sound so scripted. As much as possible, just go with the flow of your thoughts besides you are talking about yourself, who knows you more than you, right?
