  • Questions you shouldn’t ask in an interview

    Questions you shouldn’t ask in an interview

    Picking the best for any position in an organization isn’t an easy ride. It takes series of pruning and probing to pick the most suitable candidate for that plum job.

    As a prospective candidate for the job, there are dos and don’ts of an interview. In as much as it is expedient for an interview to be conversational, there abound some no go areas.

    For you to get the next job below are six (6) questions you must not ask:

    What time would I have to arrive in the morning?
    Not only is this like admitting that you’re punctually challenged, it shows your future boss that you’re more interested in your daily schedule than the actual work. Stay away from questions about logistics. This also applies to “How long is lunch?”

    Try instead, “What’s an average day like?” You’ll likely wind up with more than enough information about hours and lunch perks.

    How long has this company been around?
    The cardinal rule being broken here: Never ask a question you could easily answer with a Google search. That includes everything from “Who’s the CEO?” to “Where are corporate headquarters?” to “What’s the most popular product you sell?” These types of questions make you seem unprepared, which for an employer is a red flag. Do the research before you come in, and while you’re learning about the company, look for questions that can showcase your preparedness.

    Instead try something like, “What kind of changes have you seen since [name] took over in June?”

    On average, how quickly do people get promoted?

    This signals that you’re ambitious, and that’s a desirable quality. But this question at a job interview can sound yucky and opportunistic. You want to show you’re perfect for the job you’re applying for, not the job three rungs up the ladder (even if you’re sure you could handle that one, too).

    Try instead, “What kind of opportunities are there for growth in this company?”

    Do you do background checks?

    Think of applying for a job as playing a video game: You must complete one level at a time until you attain the goal. In other words, cross each bridge as you come to it.

    If you have something on public record that you don’t want an employer to know about (and if you’re asking this question, you obviously do), cross that bridge when you must, and no sooner. If you’re lucky, the employer doesn’t do background checks, and you’re in the clear. If the company does, simply tell them what happened up-front, with whatever explanations are necessary, and give the go-ahead to run your background.

    What’s the salary?
    This one is tempting. Of course you want to know what how much you’d make — what if the salary is so small you couldn’t take the job even if it were offered? But this is a question for HR, preferably after you’ve been offered the position, not the interview. Again, the focus of the interview should be related to the work: Your background, the skills you’re bringing to the table, and what sets you apart from other candidates.

    Forget trying to get this information entirely, and instead ask something that shows how interested you are in the work. Career advisors recommend, “What does ‘success’ look like for this position?”

    Did I get the job?
    On a dinner date, you wouldn’t ask for a kiss right after you finish the appetizer — so don’t ask to close the deal with a potential employer moments after she’s met you. It’s too eager, and that’s a turnoff.

    Instead, thank her for the opportunity and say, “I’ll follow up next week.”

  • Aerotropolis: A new job spinner

    Aerotropolis: A new job spinner

    The Federal Government intends to construct aerotropolis, otherwise known as airport cities in five states. The project has the potential to create over 2.5 million jobs, reports KELVIN OSA OKUNBOR.

     

    The concept of aerotropolis or airport cities have become drivers of economic development creating several millions of jobs for a diverse category of professionals anywhere it has been introduced across the globe.

    Key among the professional category are airline pilots, airport managers, retail shop operators, marketing professionals in manufacturing, distribution and other ancillary services.

    The project, when executed, will open a window of new job opportunities for pilots as more airlines, including the proposed national carrier will key into this project.

    As more airlines are expected to operate from the airport city, air traffic controllers, aircraft engineers, avionics technicians, airline economists, catering and hospitality specialists, car hire and travel management experts, travel agents and agencies, bureau de change operators and others will be engaged in this venture.

    Some levels of proficiency/competency will be required to function in this new endeavour. Prospective job seekers under the initiative will require requisite training.

    More pilots will be required to drive the success of the project. This means thr various training institutions responsible for training pilots have to be strenghthened so that more personnel will be trained.

    Some level of industry certification is also required to fit properly into this ambitious project.

    The regulatory agency, Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has been issuing licences to some qualified professionals in this area.

    Apart from issuance of licences, over 100 airport managers are being trained and retrained in exchange programmes abroad between the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria ( FAAN), the Manchester Airport and South Africa airport authority in order to assure the success of the project.

    Over the last two years, many experts have been seeking certification as airport managers so they could readily fit into the new airport project.

    Training institutions approved by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), have stepped up training in many areas such as flight dispatchers, loaders, aviation security, passenger profiling, ground handling management and others to take advantage of the project and earn decent living for themselves.

    Perhaps, it is pursuant to the implementation of this project that the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCo) recently opened a training centre to offer capacity building in many areas of cargo and passenger handling to the public.

    For young graduates, seeking employment opportunities in the airport city project, it is time to acquire additional industry skills including getting all the certification in the technical areas such as type rating for pilots, cabin crew and aircraft engineers.

    For several other unemployed graduates that are not necessarily technically-inclined, they could find job spaces by getting trained in hospitality management. This is because hotel chains will emerge around the airports to cater for both local and international passengers. Marketers will also be needed to drive the sale of tickets and other products offered by the various airlines that will take advantage of the project to roll out services.

    Cleaners and other services providers that require little or no formal skills acquisition at all will also find an opportunity to eke a living off the project.

    Airport Cities

    The concept of Airport Cities has been receiving international attention over the last 15-20 years. Airports have moved from small facilities catering for the needs of a few who could afford airline travel to a thriving hub catering for millions of customers per year.

    Each year, Melbourne International Airport caters for 20 million passengers passing through their terminals while still expecting significant growth over the coming years. This means that the equivalent of the entire population of Australia pass through the airport every year. This many passengers translate into a customer base that rivals large shopping centres.

    Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam was one of the first to realise that its airport was no longer a transport hub. But with the introduction of on-site retail-office-hospitality accommodation-industry the airport transformed the area which now attracts rents greater than in down-town Amsterdam.

    In addition to the development with the airport, significant supporting businesses and infrastructure began to cluster around the airport and a greater range of businesses began to consider Schiphol Airport as a prime destination to do business. Same level of transformation will be witnessed in Nigeria when the project is finally streamed.

    In other parts of the world, airport cities have generated huge job opportunities, Nigeria’s could therefore not be an exception.

    In the United Kingdom (UK), Manchester Airport’s parent company MAG has submitted plans for the £650 million development of a major new commercial location – including offices, hotels, manufacturing centres, retail outlets and leisure facilities – to attract global businesses to the Northwest, creating 11,400 jobs.

    Airport City Manchester is the core element of the government designated Enterprise Zone surrounding the UK’s third busiest airport.

    It aims to compete with other airport city or aerotropolis projects outside the UK, such as at Munich, Barcelona and Amsterdam; which are attractive to multi-national companies that require business space in a location that gives high accessibility to the global marketplace.

    The project aims to attract investment and provide new employment opportunities for Wythenshawe residents. Employment, education and training programmes are underway to maximise the use of local labour and supply chains.

    In India, country’s first airport city, Durgapur Aertropolis project, will create 90,000 jobs over the next nine years.

    The promoter of the project, Bengal Aerotropolis Projects Ltd (BAPL), is also looking to construct an aircraft maintenance repair overhaul facility for narrow-bodied aircraft next year. Over the next nine years, the airport city will create 90,000 jobs.

    The airport-city project aims at combining the development of city infrastructure and urban development.

    There are many examples throughout the world where international airports have turned an ageing economy into revitalised hi-tech economy and a growth region.

    The development of airports beyond a key piece of transport infrastructure is occurring worldwide. Airports are transforming themselves into airport cities and in the process they are having a significant impact on local and regional economies.

    Airports are seeking to maximise non-aeronautical income from a range of activities including the development industry, warehousing, hospitality, office buildings, accommodation, residential and even the refinement of natural gas in the case of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

    It is hoped that when the aerotropolis project in finally implemented in Nigeria, it will help reduce the number of people in the labour market and grow the national economy.

     

  • Are you getting the ‘dirty ear’ when you network?

     Whether you’re job searching or just trying to keep your current job, there are few things every professional should know when they network. Don’t be lazy – Are you doing all that you can to be successful?

     

    On the road, your expertise is far from being enough. For everybody on the road, “It’s not about your making a mistake; it’s about someone else making one for you.” Job hunting is that kind of economy. Some thoughts…

     

    Stop being beige

     

    There’s no use sitting back in the corner, wearing beige, and leaning up against a beige wall, hoping no one will get around to firing you. That’s not how it works. Every manager has a list and is looking to cross off names – the closer to invisible you are around the workplace, the easier it is to make you disappear from the payroll.

     

    Work one degree from the profits

     

    Remember that thing about “six degrees of separation”? Well, in corporate life, you want to think about degrees of separation from profits. If your work generates revenues that result in profits, odds are you’re going to be fine. Then, one degree of separation out, if you’re one of the people that profit-producers say they couldn’t live without, you might be OK.

    But if you work for somebody who works for somebody who works with somebody who generates profits… well, get yourself a reserved parking spot at the best Business Center around you because you’re going to be printing out a lot of resumes. (Emergency escape route: If you are known for figuring out how to cut costs, rather than merely being a cost, then you’ve moved within one degree of separation.) Do you know how you can help your employer make money or save money or grow business?

     

    Don’t put your head in the guillotine and wonder how it works

     

    There are still plenty of companies that are thriving, and you need to be in one… fast. Don’t put ypurself in this situation: A guy was working for a family business that’s losing over N15m a month. So he was asked, “How’s the job hunting going?” He replied, “I’m waiting to see how things play out.” Well, a week later he called to say he’d been laid-off – that’s how things played, OUT. In other words, he’d let himself become a hardworking slacker – a job search slacker.

    If he asked you for opening jobs, won’t you think, could I recommend a guy who dumb enough to lay his head in the guillotine and wonder how it worked? …..toss off the old “dirty ear” ( Just say, “I’ll keep my ear to the ground.”

     

    Be a bargain

     

    Dare to be a lousy negotiator. This same guy had always bragged about how he got paid more than he was worth. Well, those people who most skillfully squeezed their employers are the first ones cut – you got two people doing the same job and you’re paying one twenty percent more, who ya gonna cut? Everyone wants a bargain – don’t be afraid to be one. The guy above could probably use this advice

    Yes, we’re in an economy where you don’t have to make a mistake – somebody will make one for you. Time to put the “work” in “networking.”

    lthough your appearance is not the most important thing in a job interview, it could be critical. Applying too much makeup or having the wrong accessories can hurt your chances of getting the job.

    Here are tips to consider before your next interview.

    1. Wear something you’re confident in

    First of all, if you never wear a dress, costume, or skirt in your leisure time, you should not start wearing one for an interview. There are also fashionable business clothes from Lipsy London out there if that’s more your style. During an interview, it’s always better to stay true to yourself since you are very excited (and sometimes even insecure).

    2. Find the right shoes

    Feel as comfortable as possible – even if it’s a challenge to find the right shoes for a job interview. They should neither make you nor your legs extremely long, as you want to convince with your skills and not your looks, right? (And twisting your ankle when stepping into the office might not be the most professional look, so just keep it on the down low.)

    3. Dress like your future colleagues or better still future bosses

    If you don’t know if a business suit and heeled shoes will be the right choice, sit down in a nearby café a couple of days before your interview and take a look at your (hopefully) future colleagues – what are they wearing? Is there any fashion trap you might step into with your choice so far?

    4. Don’t wear too much makeup

    When it comes to makeup and accessories, you should use as much as necessary but as little as possible – everything distracting the interviewer from your personality and skills might end in some attempts to flirt, but surely not in a serious conversation or labor contract afterwards.

    Of course – nobody should ever take a wedding ring off and if you have skin problems because of pimples, you will surely feel better using some light concealer. But there is no need for smokey eyes and pink lip gloss, so just underline your natural beauty a bit without exaggerating the usage of your vanity case.

    5. Don’t wear too much jewelry

    This apply to both men and women. Of course more to men than men. Heavy rings, necklace, ear-ring, hand-chain is a no, no. In fact, it is better avoided completely for men- even if you use then in your current job. Even for women, clanging bangles, beads that makes you look like a cultural ambassador is out of it.

    6. Be conservative with your hair

    Punky, Coloured hair style, won’t work, as they are not usually acceptable in office settings. Women has some latitude, yet normal and conservative is safer.

    So, good luck for the next interview – keep in mind to stay true to yourself and you will not have to blame yourself afterwards if it goes wrong, because then the company did a mistake!
