5 Interview Tips For Fresh Graduates
By Angela Wahome,
“I’ve been trying to get a job but i think the people that I have interviewed me have a problem. I am top of my class I have always done well. I feel that they are threatened by me.” These are the strongest words that have challenged me as I began to explain the few factors that a fresh job seeker needs to overcome. In this particular case a college grad, with no prior work experience.
Remember the Golden Rule, “Treat others as you would like to be treated?” It’s a great rule for how to interact with others but when it comes to your job search, you want to follow another rule which is “Treat the employer the way the employer wants to be treated.”
Therefore you must have a good understanding of what the employer wants. Many job seekers assume that they know how to present themselves well. This should not be the case, instead find out what the needs of the employer are.
Here are four ways you can gather about what the employer is searching for:
1. News about the company
Understand the current issues the organization is facing by reading and keeping up on news about the organization and its industry. An easy way to do this is to Google information about the company and industry. Another way is to search related blog sites to see what is being discussed.
2. Company Websites and Social Media Sites
Visit the company website and social media sites affiliated with the organization such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and FaceBook. Develop a clear understanding what the key products and services the company offers along with the key decision makers.
3. Networking
Understanding the needs, goals, and challenges of an organization is very important to your research. One way this may be done is to conduct some discussions with people that are in the same line of work or industry. If you are fortunate enough to know some one well then you may have the added benefit of getting inside tips about the organization. Remember that you goal is to gather informational so that you are able to prepare yourself to make a good presentation.
4. Practice
In addition to carrying out these activities it is important that you prepare for the entire interview process. There are several guidelines that you may follow that can assist you to be ready for the entire process. Remember the purpose of the interview is to help you get ahead. One of the greatest challenges that you will face is that you do not have as much work experience as the people in the job market. This can be over come by presenting yourself with a bit of a twist. Focus on your potential. Show your achievements on your CV and be able to talk about them. Having this mind set can let the employer see that you are able to carry out tasks and are willing to work. Be ready to answer questions so that you can show that you will be willing and able to work hard and learn on the job.
5. After the interview
It is important to treat each interview as a learning experience. When you walk away from an interview think about the things you felt you did not do so well in. See how you may have done things differently so that you do not end up in the same situation over and over. When you call for feed back remember this is still part of the interview process. If you did not get the position, you may ask why. Some employers will be able to share that perhaps the way you handle a question could have been better.
What every the case, think of all the hard work and the time you put into your education. A degree is not the end of all the struggle and hard work but it opens doors that give you a chance to do well what you like to be able to make a living.

Here is a story applicable to your job and life in general.
There’s an old, well known story of a chicken farmer who found an eagle’s egg.
He put it with his chickens and soon the egg hatched.
The young eagle grew up with all the other chickens and whatever they did, the eagle did too. He thought he was a chicken, just like them.
Since the chickens could only fly for a short distance, the eagle also learnt to fly a short distance.
He thought that was what he was supposed to do. So that was all that he thought he could do. As a
consequence, that was all he was able to do.
One day the eagle saw a bird flying high above him. He was very impressed. “Who is that?” he asked the hens around him.
“That’s the eagle, the king of the birds,” the hens told him. “He belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth, we are just chickens.”
So the eagle lived and died as a chicken, for that’s what he thought he was.
I want to encourage you today that you are an eagle.
You may have been brought up in a situation that limited your understanding of your potential, but it’s time now for the past to lose its hold on you.
Don’t die thinking you’re a chicken.
Soar high, just as you were meant to.
Be all that you are meant to be!
How To Get & Retain A Job In Kenya. By Chris Kirubi.
By Chris Kirubi.
As a Kenyan and regional employer, I must admit that one of the biggest challenges we face in the Kenyan job market is employee retention.
The truth is this; a business cannot amount to much nor achieve much without excellent human capital. So, how do we keep our people engaged? How do we retain them in the face of thriving competition that threatens to poach your very best?
Back in my day, we were adequately persuaded with financial incentives. You either got a hefty salary
increment, or a sizable commission. The larger the financial increment, the more likely the company was to retain the high performers. However, in a work era where employees aspire to more than just financial satisfaction, it is no longer enough nor acceptable to conduct business in such a manner. Not unless you want to fail.
As a result, you will notice that most progressive companies have come up with very innovative retention schemes. Employees want to feel a sense of ownership and belonging to their company. They want to create value; to make a difference; to dabble in their creative pursuits every so often etc. They want a work place that is flexible to their needs. It can no longer be run like a mill, and Esops (employee stock ownership programmes) just don’t make the cut anymore.
These are challenges that the employer must address in order to retain high performing individuals while meeting performance targets. There is no question that such schemes are costly to maintain, in addition to all other inflationary pressures. As a result, the employer feels the pressure to maintain the wage bill under a certain threshold leading to massive layoffs.
This account is made from the employer’s point of view. But how about when the shoe is placed on the other foot? How do you as an employee ensure that your employer retains you on his payroll?
Aside from the threat of layoffs, there are many young people who are working for the companies of their dreams. However, the lack of career progression makes them feel disillusioned and tempted to throw in the resignation towel.
So how do you ensure that you get that promotion that you feel is worth your potential? Or at worst, how do you ensure that the re-organisation program is completed with you in mind?
Obviously, your previous work experience and educational qualifications will come into play. If you have been a bad worker, this may be a good opportunity for the employer to get rid of the rotten tomato. But if all other factors are constant and above board, here are some tips to give you a competitive edge over the competition.
The most important quality that you can demonstrate is the ability to lead. Employers want to grow and retain people who are able to be in charge, to influence others and to win while doing so. This capability contributes directly to the bottom line, and as Robin Sharma put it in his 26th rule of work, leading entails thinking for yourself. Don’t be the type of person that has to be told what to do every minute of the day. Show initiative and think for yourself, it frees up your boss to attend to more important matters.
The other very important quality that is requisite is the ability to understand the fundamentals of the business. You must have some understanding of what the greater picture is for your business. It is not enough to merely say that you are not in management, or that these fundamentals have not been communicated to you. Such behaviour demonstrates an employee who is asleep and unconscious on the job.
Be ready to demonstrate your understanding of these fundamentals at an interview or in your interactions with your superiors. For example, where does your company place itself in the industry? What are its values, its vision and general strategic perspective? What opportunities does the market present? Who is the competition and what are the global trends? What image does it desire to project?
The truth of the matter is that unless you understand your business, your company, your employer… you cannot be an effective warrior; this is what every commendable employer seeks.
So before you throw in the towel at retaining that very lucrative post, remember that survival is only for the fittest, and that there’s probably much more that you can do to ensure your own career progression or job retention.
