We recently rejected a very qualified candidate for an International NGO job. Why?
I will only post this ONCE, if you like ignore it and continue doing the same things.
This interview was for an associate manager position.
This candidate had a masters degree and relevant work experience of 3 years. When we saw his CV, we were really impressed so we had to get him for an interview online.
Now, the day of the interview didn't go well.
First, the candidate showed up in a singlet as if that was not enough he was moving around the house with the camera.
To make things worse, he was not ready for the interview and went off topic for all the questions. He could not answer the simple tell me a little about yourself.
Know this
-First impressions matter wether you like it or not.
-ALWAYS prepare for interviews both your physical presentation and what you will say.
-Know your CV well. You will be asked very specific questions about your previous job positions.
You can have a masters, or even a PhD, that on its own does not guarantee that you will have a job.
To your success and beyond
