Preparing for a job interview can be an overwhelming task for many job seekers.
 
 
I mean, where do you even start? How can you anticipate what questions the interviewers will ask? 
 
How do you answer questions? 
 
The anxiety of thinking about the job interview causes many 
candidates to panic and make one of the biggest mistakes a job seeker 
can make – that is ramble on and on. 
 
One great way to prevent this during your interview is to follow a structure of answering questions. 
 
One popular strategy to use is the STAR Technique: 
 
Situation OR Task: Describe a 
situation you were in or a task that you were required to undertake that
 prepared you (is relevant) to tackle this problem. 
 
For instance, “In my old company, I was challenged with the task of _______ that had similar problems” 
 
Action: Describe the action you took to solve the situation. 
 
Results: Describe the outcome. And how you can bring what you learned to the company and their challenges. 
 
So now that you know how to answer questions, what are the questions you should prepare for? 
 
Here is our list of the 10 most common interview questions and what they mean: 
 
1. Tell Us About Yourself 
 
The interviewer is not asking about your personal life, family and 
hobbies. Instead, they want a summary of your career; how did you get 
here and where would you like to go. 
 
For this, prepare a short (30 second) pitch about your professional 
journey (not every job you’ve had, but the ones relevant to this job) 
and how what your experiences have prepared you for this opportunity. 
 
Bonus tip: Be a storyteller. Don’t be boring and provide dry answers like: 
 
“In 1999 I went to Smith University to study marketing. In 2004 I got my first job…” 
 
Instead, say something like, 
 
“My love for marketing really started at the age of 12 when I saw the
 Coca Cola ad for the world cup. I knew then that I wanted to spend my 
life telling stories that connected people with brands, and so I 
attended Smith University – which has one of the best marketing degrees 
in the U.S, and moved on to work for…After years of working, I wanted a 
new challenge and that’s why I’m here today.” 
 
2. Why Should We Hire You? 
 
If you want to stand out, don’t simply tell them your list of 
qualifications and skills – the interviewer already knows them. Instead,
 tell them how you can help them solve their problems and challenges. To
 ace this question, make it about what you can do for them and not what 
they can do for you. 
 
For example, if you are being interviewed for a Social Media Manager 
position at a company that hasn't seen any monetary benefits to their 
business by having an online presence, say: 
 
" I understand that your business has yet to see any tangible 
financial benefits to having a social media presence. Well, I'm here to 
tell you that in addition to brand awareness, generating revenue online 
is possible. I've done it at my past company, and I'll do it here. To 
start off, I'll change your Instagram strategy......." 
 
3. What is Your Greatest Strength? 
 
This is your opportunity to highlight a strength that you know is 
important to the company and the position you want.  But don’t make the 
mistake of just saying “I’m a great communicator”, instead, tell a story
 and use the STAR method to guide you. 
 
For example: 
 
One of my greatest strengths is my communication skills and this was proven when: 
 
(Past situation): I was tasked to effectively demonstrate ____ brand values to a new market…. 
 
(Action you took): I did this by first conducting market research on 
the needs and values of the local population and creating radio ads that
 emphasized those values and how they related to the brand. 
 
(Results): This resulted in a 27% increase in _____ in the first 
year. And it was mostly because I was able to merge and effectively 
communicate the message in a localized setting. 
 
4. What is Your Greatest Weakness? 
 
What employers are looking for is to see if you are self-aware and 
willing to admit shortcomings, and more importantly work on them. 
 
So think of a weakness that isn’t too important to the job, and talk about the steps you have taken to improve on it. 
 
For example, " I'm used to working on projects from start to finish 
on my own. So when it comes time to collaborate and work with others, I 
struggle to let go of control and not do everything myself. Though 
with time, I've learned that this isn't the most effective way to work. 
I've greatly benefited from the different perspectives that other team 
members bring to a task, and also, the reduced stress and time a project
 takes when I work well with others (rather than try to do everything 
myself)." 
 
Never say, "I have no weaknesses, I’m perfect." No one is. 
 
5. Why do you want to work for us? 
 
Once again, this is not about what the company can do for you, but instead what you can do for them. 
 
Your research on the company while writing your CV and cover letter 
will really help here. Think deeply about how your role can help the 
company, and why you would be interested in working there. 
 
Employers are looking for people who genuinely want the job for more 
reasons than to just have a job; they are looking for people with 
passion and ideas. So this is your chance to demonstrate yours. 
 
For instance, 
 
“I want to work with you because I realize that the market is in a 
transition, and I want to help you make it effectively and even grow 
further. I know it will be hard work, but a challenge is what I’m 
looking for at this point in my career.” 
 
6. Why did you leave the last job? 
 
Don’t badmouth your former employer or coworkers. Instead just say 
that you are ‘seeking new challenges’, but go a step further and explain
 how this job will give you challenges that your previous one didn’t. 
 
Say something like, 
 
" I've outgrown the position I have in my current company, and I'm 
seeking to be challenged more. I handled accounts for a small business 
and learned a lot from it, but now I'm ready to deal with bigger numbers
 at a bigger company like yours." 
 
7. What do you hope to get from this experience? 
 
Talk about what you hope to achieve, but be realistic. Don’t be too 
broad, pick a specific goal that is important to the company and set a 
target. Nevertheless, acknowledge that it will take time for you to 
learn more about the company and where best to set your focus. 
 
For instance, 
 
“As the English teacher, my goal is to increase the percentage of 
students that pass the English national exam to 85% of my class. While 
it will take some time to learn the particular challenges of the 
students at this school, I’m confident that I’ll be successful.” 
 
8. Describe a difficult work situation and what you did to overcome it 
 
This is a pretty straightforward question, but not preparing for it may cause you to ramble. 
 
Pick an example that demonstrates a key skill required for the job. Then utilize the STAR technique to structure your answer. 
 
A quick example: 
 
" (Situation) I was assigned as the project lead for
 a television and radio advertising campaign for our company, however, 
the budget was very small and my research showed that the likelihood for
 the campaign to reach our target audience was slim. (Action)
 So I proposed an alternative, shoot an ad and spread it to our target 
audience via paid online advertising, social media, and email marketing.
 This made more sense for our budget and our target audience. (Results) The result was increased visits to our e-commerce website, and sales for our latest products increased by 15%. " 
 
9. What salary range are you looking for? 
 
Make sure you research the market rates for the job and you go into 
the interview with a salary range you want. The lower number should be 
the price you are willing to accept and the high number should be your 
best (realistic) outcome. 
 
If you don’t prepare and just guess, you may end up underselling 
yourself to the employer. And while you may think that being ‘cheap’ 
will get you the job (and it may), every professional should not settle 
for less than what they deserve – especially if the company can afford 
to pay more. 
 
10. Do you have any questions for us? 
 
At the end of the job interview, you will usually be asked if you 
have any questions. Don’t ask about salary and benefits. Instead ask 
general questions about: 
 
<ul>
<li>Office culture.</li>
<li>Your supervisor’s leadership style.</li>
<li>The team you’ll be working with.</li>
<li>Clear up concerns or confusions with the job role.</li>
<li>The next steps in the hiring process, like when you expect to hear from them.</li>
</ul>
 
Bonus Question: 
 
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 
 
This is a trick question that reveals whether you just need a job, or
 it actually plays your career goals. The interviewer wants to see if 
you will be happy in the role and if it aligns with your long term 
plans. 
 
So, while many of us aren’t sure where we would like to be, just 
brainstorm a couple of options and demonstrate how the position will 
help you get there. 
 
For instance, 
 
“In 5 years I hope to be the lead researcher at a major development 
think tank, and I believe that working as a data analyst for you will 
not only hone my research skills but teach me about the Tanzanian 
population…etc. 
 
The best cure for interview stress is preparation 
 
Although interviews can appear to be nerve-wracking and stressful, if
 you plan for them just like other things in your life, you would be 
surprised by how well you do. 
 
The interview is your last chance to dazzle your employer, following 
the tips above should help you in doing so and bring you very close to 
your dream job. Just by being called in for one means you are halfway 
there, use the tips above to make it a done deal. 
 
Remember, just like entering an exam hall in university, there is no reason to panic if you are prepared.

Becoming a successful student involves building a strong study skills foundation before gaining, retaining, and ultimately explaining information. Build a base for information and then gain it, retain it, and explain it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
 
 Strategies for Creating Success in College and in Life 
Students 
are guided to shift their attention from the problem to a solution. To 
do so, they specify how they would like to improve the study skill under
 consideration, including the explicit outcomes and experiences they 
want to create by mastering the skill.

1. Building a Foundation.  
Even if 
it’s made from study and resilient materials, a tall tower will still 
topple if it’s built upon a rickety base. In the same way, the gaining, 
retaining, and explaining you do in college must rest on a ﬁrm 
foundation of basic skills. Incidentally, these are skills that will be 
invaluable at school but should also serve you well at home, in your 
career, and for the rest of your life. You don’t need to be a student to
 beneﬁt from knowing how to set goals.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young! 
 
There
has been a lot of research about how people learn and how they learn

<h2>

They Fight Back Against Forgetting</h2>

The
moment you acquire new information is the moment that forgetting starts
trying to take it away. Unfortunately, you can’t stop forgetting
anymore than you can stop wind from blowing. But you can ﬁght it back, this is what
top students do, reinforcing what they have learned and strengthening
their memories in the face of forgetting’s relentless attack. 
<h2>

Top Students Retain Information</h2>

There’s
a battle going on in the brain. You may not always be aware of it, but
your memory  is  under  constant  assault  from  forgetfulness,  the 
biggest  single  enemy  of your academic success. Forgetting works both
massively and rapidly to undo learning. In fact, research has shown
again and again that when you learn something new you are likely to
forget most of it in a matter of days. 
 
In  one  experiment, 
people  who  read  a  textbook  chapter,  forgot  46  percent  of 
their reading after one day, 79 percent after fourteen days, and 81
percent after twenty-eight days. 
 
Although reading is
forgotten quickly, the rate of forgetting for things you hear occurs
even faster. This has to do with the way the short-term or working
memory is designed. All new information passes through working memory
before some of it is sent on to more permanent storage in your
long-term memory. Your working memory essentially has two front doors.
There’s an entrance for the things you see and another for the things
you say or hear. Solid evidence suggests that when you read words in a
book, you are both seeing and hearing them at once. Images of the words
combined with the sounds of those words that you hear in your “inner
ear” makes the memories stronger.<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

 from your working memory to your long-term memory is through rehearsal.
The word rehearse  comes  from  an  old  French  word  that  means 
“to  plow  again.”   Each  time  you repeat or rewrite what you’ve read
or heard, you’re rehearsing it; you are deepening and  strengthening 
its  memory  trace, this is How Top Students Study.  If you plow
deeply, it should last. But if you only plow a shallow path, it can
vanish in the ﬁrst heavy wind or driving rain. It’s the same with
unrehearsed information. 
<h2>

Top Students Make an Effort to Remember</h2>

Memory
is not automatic. To remember something, you have to make a conscious
effort to  learn  it. Even  if  you  do  learn  new information, it
won’t stay with you very long unless you’re convinced that it’s worth
hanging  on  to.  Your  initial  effort  determines  whether  you’ll 
remember  what  you’ve heard or read for a lifetime or forget it in a
matter of seconds. 
<h2>

Top Students Avoid Pseudo-Forgetting </h2>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
 Whenever
you cannot remember a name, a telephone number, a fact, an idea, or
even a joke, it’s quite natural to say, “I forgot.” Yet forgetting may
have nothing to do with your problem. You may never have learned the
information in the ﬁrst place. This phenomenon  is  known  as 
pseudo-forgetting.  The  word  pseudo  means  “false”  or  “phony.” The
best thing you can do to improve your memory is to pay close attention to the
things you want to remember, this is what Top Students do to make what they have learned stick. 
 
If an idea or a fact is to be
retained in your memory for any length of time, it must be  impressed 
on  your  mind  clearly  and  crisply  at  least  once.  A  record  of 
that  idea  or fact must be laid down in your brain before you can
truly recall or forget what you’ve learned. You can create this record
by jotting the new information down or by repeating it aloud. If you
are accustomed to meeting a lot of new people, perhaps you already
know  the  technique  of  repeating  the  name  of  the  person  to 
whom  you’ve  just  been introduced.  Instead  of  saying  “Pleased 
to  meet  you,”  you  say  “Pleased  to  meet  you, Mr. Ben.” This
approach is not only personable, but it also provides an easy way to
counteract pseudo-forgetting.<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

Here are some tips on studying for exams<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

•  Start on Day One.  You should always be studying for the next 
exam.  Do a little each day, or at the very least start studying 2 – 3 
days before the exam.  Do NOT start studying the night before the
 exam.  Cramming, while a time honored college tradition, just doesn’t 
work as well as spending time each day studying, especially with a math 
class. 
 
  Get a Good Night’s Sleep.  Get a good night’s sleep the night 
before the exam.  It is important to be well rested and mentally sharp 
when you take the exam. 
 
•  Make a List of Important Concepts/Formulas.  Review your notes
 and make a concise list of important concepts and formulas.  Make sure 
you know these formulas and more importantly how to use them! 
 
•  Rework Homework Problems.  Do not just read over the homework 
problems.  Actually rework them.  Writing down the steps will help you 
to remember them.  Make sure that you try to do the problems without 
looking at the solutions. 
 
•  Rework Book/Notes Examples.  Cover up the solutions to book or
 note examples and try to rework them.  When looking for problems from 
the book don’t forget that most books have a review section at the end 
of each chapter that usually contains more problems. 
 
Look for Identifying Characteristics in Problems.  While doing 
your homework you knew which section it came out of.  This provided some
 clues as to the solution process.  During an exam you won’t have this 
to help you.  So, while reviewing your homework look for identifying 
characteristics that will give you clues on how to identify that kind of
 problem. 
 
•  Take a Practice Exam.  Find some problems and treat them a practice test.  Give yourself a time limit and don’t use your notes or book. 
 
And Let this be your slogan:- “What you hear, you forget; what you see, you remember; what you do, you understand.”   
 
I Wish You Well In Your Forthcoming Exams.<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
