I want you to know that there are no exact or generic answers to most of the interview questions. You need to be creative in your own way to answer most of these questions. When asked this question, you are being asked to say what your plans you have for your future and/or career. They want to know if you are visionary and willing to invest in your future because they need to know if their prospective employee is self-motivated, proactive, and likely to work hard and stick to the job if hired.
In today’s highly competitive market, HRs are looking for the slightest opportunity to use as an excuse not to hire. So, you could be on the axe-head spot if you are not fully prepared to tackle this question.
What should you say?
Keep your answer generic. As general as you would answer this, ensure to keep your answer truthful, but broad enough so it does not raise doubts whether you would be a good fit for the position you are applying for.
Stress your interest in a long-term career at the company. Your interviewer wants to know if you would settle real quick in the company and grow with the company as time flies. Anything could go wrong in the firm’s operational activities, however, the company would still invest time and resources in training whoever they hire next.
Demonstrate your enthusiasm for the job as a ‘thrilling next step’ for you. Make it clear as crystal that you are highly motivated to take up the opportunity immediately.
Examples are given below
“My goal right now is to find a position at a company where I can grow and take on new challenges over time. Ultimately, I’d like to assume more management responsibilities and get involved in product strategy. But most importantly, I want to work for an organization where I can build a career.”
“I am driven to be the best at what I do and I want to work somewhere where I’ll have opportunities to develop my skills, take on interesting projects, and work with people I can really learn from. Some of the most innovative thinkers in the industry work here and that’s a big reason why I would love to build a career here.”
Your answer should address the skills and experience you offer and why you’re a good culture fit. Every interview question is an attempt to gather information to inform this hiring decision. Many interviewers will also specifically ask you to make your case with one of these questions: Why you areRead more
Your answer should address the skills and experience you offer and why you’re a good culture fit. Every interview question is an attempt to gather information to inform this hiring decision. Many interviewers will also specifically ask you to make your case with one of these questions:
Why you are a good fit for the position
The trait that makes you unique for the job
Why you think you are the best person for the job
Explain how your background and previous experience makes you a good fit.
You must have concise answers for this question to increase your chances of landing the job. The job of the interviewer is to hire the best person whose answers and disposition fits the job they are hiring for, and you must deem it importantly necessary to provide an honest and concrete answer to this question. You should bear in mind that every HR personnel takes a huge risk when hiring, and as such, they need you to give them a run for the risk they are taking.
Before you get invited for an interview
Brainstorm “Why should we hire you?” by asking yourself What are the requirements of the vacant position? What are your greatest accomplishments? What stands you out from typical candidates? Try to jot the answers to these questions so you will not forget.
Arrange your points in the order of importance. Try to use bullet points; do not memorize your answers verbatim, else you might forget. The allocated time for you to answer this question is roughly 1-3 minutes, you cannot afford to blow this privilege by starting with unimportant points
Practise. Once you feel confident of the points you have, practise over and over again. The essence of practising is to give you mastery of the answers.
Examples
“Well, I have all of the skills and experience that you’re looking for and I’m confident that I would be a superstar in this project management role. It’s not just my background leading successful projects for top companies — or my people skills, which have helped me develop great relationships with developers, vendors, and senior managers alike. But I’m also passionate about this industry and I’m driven to deliver high-quality work.”
“Honestly, I almost feel like the job description was written with me in mind. I have the 6 years of programming experience you’re looking for, a track record of successful projects, and proven expertise in agile development processes. At the same time, I have developed my communication skills from working directly with senior managers, which means I am well prepared to work on high-profile, cross-department projects. I have the experience to start contributing from day one and I am truly excited about the prospect of getting started.”
“I have the experience and the attitude to excel in this production assistant position. I have almost two years of television production experience — including two summers interning at The Ellen Show, where I was exposed to all aspects of TV production and worked so hard the first summer that they invited me back for a second summer and gave me more responsibilities. During my senior year at UC San Diego, I have been working part-time for a production company, where I have served in an assistant role but also recently had the chance to help edit several episodes. I have a reputation for getting things done — and with a smile on my face. That’s because I love working in the television industry and am excited to learn and get experience in every way possible.”

If you want to lose five actual pounds by next weekend, listen up: Losing weight fast, though possible, is almost always unhealthy. That’s because aiming to lose five pounds in a week can set you up for binge-eating and fluctuations that interfere with long-lasting results, which basically defeats the whole point, right?
You could try the following safe and proven tips to help you lose your desired pound of weight.
Choose Quality over quantity: If you focus your consumption on quality instead of quantity, you will stand a great chance of eating more nutrient-filled options that lead you more satiated
Track your diet: Bring to memory that “no food is inherently good or bad” But if you would feel guilty or anxious jotting down everything you eat, then you should probably steer clear of it. On the flip side, it is said that those who have the propensity to track what they eat stand the chance of recording success in their quest to lose weight because it raises awareness about how you enthusiastically consume too much food.
Focus on plants: People who feed majorly on grains or vegetables are often termed “vegetarian” Fibre, unlike protein and fat, slows the digestion process and optimizes fullness and nutrients intake at mealtimes, a plant-based diet can help you get to the level of satisfaction long after eating
Settle for low-glycemic carbohydrates: A food glycemic refers to how easily sugar settles in the bloodstreams and how slowly the food gets digested. Foods like potatoes, white bread and short-grain rice slow down metabolism which makes it difficult to shed weight.
Make dinner small rationed: Eating heavily at night is more dangerous to your health than poison (if I should exaggerate). Whatever you choose to eat at night, ensure you focus on the small ration of food.
Do not skip meals: “Eating at regular intervals during the day optimizes your blood sugar control, meaning you avoid the spike and crash that comes with eating a big meal on an empty stomach” Romano. When you avoid eating when you are hungry, your chances of welcoming hunger pains or food cravings could force you to settle for snacks and junks which are rich in fat and sugar making your weight shedding unsuccessful.
Get your protein from lean source: Dietary protein is one of the most important tools in your weight shedding armoury, partly “you expend more energy digesting protein versus carbohydrate and fat” Dr Seltzer. A lean source of protein could range from chicken breast, cheese, white fish, and others.

A parochial environment surrounds “opportunity” The masses have subscribed to the school of thought that “opportunity lost cannot be recovered” In the real sense, it actually can not be recovered. It is more reason one should seize every opportunity that comes one’s way.
Two (2) things make opportunity unrecoverable
Unpreparedness on the part of the recipient
Ignorance; this is due to a fellow not having enough or ample information about the opportunity.
These factors are the mishaps that govern missing out on opportunities. On the flip side, there are ways one could harness opportunities to reap the benefits of the past. When you cannot see the future when you cannot see the light, you have to get up to put up a fight. Putting up a fight does not literally mean getting your fist gloved with a boxing kit, rather it means going to the carpenter to build a wooden door with no lock (that would allow every opportunity come when it knocks on your door) Ideally, a door with no lock would open of its own accord with little or no effort applied.
Since it is said that “when opportunities do not knock create a door” A wooden door with no lock is an imaginary door you create that makes you stay up late investing in yourself, taking every chance that presents itself to you, leaving your comfort zone, sending in the series of applications, enrolling for the self-developing class, walking up to people with influence, asking doubt-clarification questions, having faith and confidence in Providence, saying your mantra, staying positive, the list is endless.
Opportunities abound, when you work on yourself, you would definitely see the. It is about pushing harder, consistency, commitment, being intentional. Do not throw in the towel when you miss out on any. Go back and try harder, posterity would, one day, smile at you.

Stay in touch with friends and family. Ensure you have someone around to talk to whenever you feel down.
Be more active. Try to ensure you are breathing, take a walk, exercise, relax your muscles.
Face your Fears. This could be a little bit daunting but very brave. Try to face whatever makes you sad or depressed.
Take time out. Ensure to distract yourself whenever you feel down. Take a bath, make your favourite meal.
Look at the evidence. If you were to give a piece of advice to a friend going through depression, what would it be?
Talk about it. Open up to someone you can trust about your problems. A problem shared is the one half solved.
Visualize a happy place. Dream more while awake. Consciously close your eyes and picture yourself in a place of comfort-beach, gym, resort, park, restaurant, events…
Depression is real and try to take care of your mental health.

Boredom is the state of being weary and restless through lack of interest. This is a natural phenomenon that happens to every human. There are times you feel monotonous towards your routine and wish for something different, variety, sort of.
There are 5 ways, not restricted to these alone, of coming out of boredom.
Reading a book Getting an interesting book to read could go along way to help you forget you bored. It is necessary to choose a good genre of book, using your discretion. The best genres of books I could refer are historical books, fictional books and relationship books, depending on your interest.
Paint or sketch: Not everyone is a born artist, there are some of us who cannot draw anything. it is fine and good. However, if you for some reason derive pleasure in artistic work, then try to do so when boredom sets in. If you would like to ask “I do not have anything to draw whenever I am bored” Say no more, all you need do is take a walk within your domain, take pictures of images that appeal to you and draw them when you get into your room.
Colouring: Colouring helps a great deal to lessen boredom. However childish it might sound, it could really go a long way to help. Reach out to your crayons, a sheet of paper and colour whatever comes to your mind/head. You could also draw a picture and colour them to your satisfaction.
Write a list: writing a list is a cool way of biding time or wasting time (I would not like to use). You ask what kind of list can I write? You could write a list about: books you would like to read, places you would like to visit, how your wedding would be, your “aso-ebi” colour
Do something creative: You need not be a great writer or an artist, just do something you would pay yourself to do. A few are starting a blog, writing a story, listening to music, seeing a movie
Watch Youtube Videos: There are a thousand and one things to learn on youtube. Channel your internet connectivity to learning new things like how to answer interview questions, DIY, how to have a good memory, how to work smart, the list is endless.
Go shopping: Going window shopping could heal you of boredom at times. You could just go to the mall and walk around, feast your eyes on the groceries
The logic behind this is to do something profitable when boredom sets in. You could also place a phone call at your friends and/or family when bored. In summary, feeling bored is natural and happens to all and sundry, it is, therefore, imperative to walk yourself out of boredom when you are faced with it

This question is always asked by every Nigerian seeking entertainment locally. We would not say the Nigerian film industry is not giving it best shot in terms of screenplay, acting, screenwriter, etc, but they miss it at some point which seems too elementary to be missed or overlooked. We could point out some facts that make them underperform
To begin with, the major problem this industry is faced with is the issue of tribalism. This does not only affect the industry, but it also affects the country at large. There is this segregation we have in our mindset, “if you are not of my tribe, sorry I cannot be of help to you, however talented you may be” Until we all reach a compromise on nepotism, there would not be a progress of any kind.
Another is poor or low-quality footages. Imagine seeing a movie that gives a blurry view, there is no way one would enjoy such a movie, regardless of the excellency in the screenplay. Unfortunately, the industry has not set any standard to what kind of quality to be produced. This is what incompetent movie producers and directors leverage to release half-baked movie.
Every industry would find one way or the other to blame the government of not participating actively in the course of their affairs. Nollywood has the Federal movement to blame
Having said these, I still believe the movie industry should give us a run for our money or watch, as the case may be. We should see Nigerian movies and not have “it will end in tears” mindset. We should watch their movies and not predict what would happen in the next scene. We should see some characters in a Nigerian movie and be in suspense about what they would do in the movie. But the reverse has been the case for donkey years. Whenever you see Kanayo O. Kanayo in a movie, just know he is playing the role of a ritualist. Ini Edo, Nonso Diobi, Ramsey Noah, Jim Iyke, Chioma Chukwuka: expect a love battle between ‘true’ love and ‘fake/money’ love. It is saddening, it is time for a change, let us wake up. To put the icing on the cake is the dumb and headless Yoruba film screenwriters; with respect, those guys are nowhere near perfection. They are wallowing in the pool of unprofessionalism as applicable to the entertainment industry. We hope they do better by the year.
In conclusion, Nollywood would get to their promised land. With the intervention of Kunle Afolayan, Genevieve Nnaji and others, hope lies at the end of the tunnel for us. We keep hoping for the best from them and we know they would deliver.

Beauty, they say, is in the eyes of the beholder, so is love. To love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, but to suffer is to suffer. Falling in love is one of the best things a man could go through. Love is a selfless activity that involves going out of one’s way to see to the satisfaction of the other partner. Loving is a relative feeling that is strictly restricted to every individual.
As earlier said, falling in love means different to different people with different partners at different times and seasons. Falling in love is a delicate essential of life that need to carefully considered before making the decision. People fall in love at first sight or built-up relationship. There is no rule of thumb to the perfect way people fall in love. It is rather imperative to know what works best for you before plunging into the pool of love.
Mind you, there are things to put in check in order to fall in love;
Communication: to constantly be in love with your partner, constant communication is key and cannot be compromised.
Supporting and maintaining your partner’s interest: It is mindful of a partner to always be a support system to their partner’s desires, intentions and aspiration.
Treating your partner with kindness: You should learn to have a kind and gentle heart towards your partner. Always be forgiving, forgetful of offence and mild at heart.
Sharing experience: there are times conversation could get monotonous and live or past experience could spark a trickle of life into the conversation.
Keeping these few tips can help you fall in love, factoring in your special personalities.
I believe you are talking about "deja vu". Have you been in a new place, but felt, as if you had been there before?

I believe you are talking about “deja vu”.
Have you been in a new place, but felt, as if you had been there before?
Did you meet someone for the first time, but had the feeling that you have met him before?
Have you been in a totally new situation, yet, felt it was familiar, and that you have experienced it in the past?
Experiences like these are called deja vu.
The term “deja vu”, originates from the French, meaning “already seen”, and describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously.
The experience of deja vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity. There is a strong sense that one has experienced, or have been in the same situation or place in the past.
It is said that the experience of deja vu seems to be very common, and that 70% of people report having experienced it at least once in their lives.
The term deja vu was first used by Emile Boirac (1851-1917), who was a French psychic researcher.
Oh well, I do not see a big deal in what comparison does to one, but, I have some reservations against it. The Writ has it that "...those that compare themselves are not wise..."

Oh well, I do not see a big deal in what comparison does to one, but, I have some reservations against it.
The Writ has it that “…those that compare themselves are not wise…” A couple of years ago, I stumbled on a quote that reads “Do not try to be someone else, the best you would be is second fiddle to that person” Trying to compare yourself with others steals and kills the joy you have. I am not saying one should not have role models or mentors, do not get me wrong. The only challenge here is forgetting who you are as a result of comparing your life with others who are better positioned than you are. In choosing people to pattern your life after, it is imperative to be logical, thoughtful and clinical with your decision.
Also, your personality is a big deal that should not be silenced when choosing to be a Warren Buffet or a Bill Gate. It is very important to consider your traits, characteristics and personalities when patterning one’s life with others. Do not do this blindly, it might get really messy if you do not consider your options before taking a plunge into comparing yourself with others.

I believe you are talking about “deja vu”.
Have you been in a new place, but felt, as if you had been there before?
Did you meet someone for the first time, but had the feeling that you have met him before?
Have you been in a totally new situation, yet, felt it was familiar, and that you have experienced it in the past?
Experiences like these are called deja vu.
The term “deja vu”, originates from the French, meaning “already seen”, and describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously.
The experience of deja vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity. There is a strong sense that one has experienced, or have been in the same situation or place in the past.
It is said that the experience of deja vu seems to be very common, and that 70% of people report having experienced it at least once in their lives.
The term deja vu was first used by Emile Boirac (1851-1917), who was a French psychic researcher.

Oh well, I do not see a big deal in what comparison does to one, but, I have some reservations against it.
The Writ has it that “…those that compare themselves are not wise…” A couple of years ago, I stumbled on a quote that reads “Do not try to be someone else, the best you would be is second fiddle to that person” Trying to compare yourself with others steals and kills the joy you have. I am not saying one should not have role models or mentors, do not get me wrong. The only challenge here is forgetting who you are as a result of comparing your life with others who are better positioned than you are. In choosing people to pattern your life after, it is imperative to be logical, thoughtful and clinical with your decision.
Also, your personality is a big deal that should not be silenced when choosing to be a Warren Buffet or a Bill Gate. It is very important to consider your traits, characteristics and personalities when patterning one’s life with others. Do not do this blindly, it might get really messy if you do not consider your options before taking a plunge into comparing yourself with others.
