#FEW TIPS ON GREETINGS FOR AN INTERVIEW

I just had to seriously put this together after i heard a Bsc holder disgraced himself, his certificate and virtually the school who gave that certificate to him during an interview today at Eko Hotel & Suites earlier on today by prostrating to each and everyone of the interviewer one after the other. Common its isnt a traditional wedding now, as a female friend of mine said, its an interview and your culture isnt needed or required there. So, i just had to pull this few tips together for us all so that such scenario wouldn't be repeated by any one of us again....

1. Walk confidently toward the interviewer or into the interviewer's office. Hold your head erect while looking forward. Keep your back and shoulders straight. Avoid timid behaviors such as shuffling hesitantly or peeking into the interviewer's office.

2. Make eye contact with the interviewer to demonstrate your sincerity. Smile warmly and extend your right hand.

3. Grasp the interviewer's hand palm-to-palm. Squeeze his hand firmly, but not so tightly as to cause discomfort. Maintain eye contact and smile.

4. Introduce yourself, followed by a pleasantry. For example, say, "Hello, I'm Aboloyinjo Emmanuel. It's a pleasure to meet you." If the interviewer tells you his name, you can say, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jones." Release the person's hand as soon as the verbal introductions are complete.

Tip
Refer to your interviewer in a formal manner unless she instructs you to do otherwise. For example, use "Mr." or "Ms."

Warnings
Do not sit down until the interviewer sits down or asks you to have a seat.
If you tend to have sweaty hands, discreetly wipe them on your pants or skirt before shaking hands with your interviewer.

I do hope we learn from this.... please don't act like an Ibadan Man in front of your interviewer... (just kidding tough).

Wizkid and Davido at war Again.

WizKid and Davido took a new turn at the just concluded one AFrica music fest held in Dubai.   . It was reported that the beef started between the two camps,not the two superstars. . The sold-out concert started on a high note until when Wizkid's manager, Sunday Are and Tekno had an altercation backstage.  It all started when Are had insisted that Tiwa Savage must perform before Tekno, and once she's about to round up, she'll invite Wizkid to join her on stage and perform their latest collaboration, Malo. . After their collaboration, Wizkid will then be joined by his band for his performance. That arrangement even though sound professional, was rejected by the organizers who wanted Wizkid to close the show. Unknown to Tiwa, Wizkid got on stage to perform  #Malo  with her. After shutting down the One Africa Music Fest stage with his electrifying performance, Wizkid exited the building. . By then Davido and his 15-man entourage had just arrived the venue. W...
