Tell Me About Yourself...

Hello guys,
This is Fratres, today I'm going to tell you how to answer the following question if you are in a job interview:
“Tell me about yourself.”
First of all you need to know that it is one of the most-frequently-asked job interview questions. Even so, many job seekers don’t take this question seriously, thinking that it's just an icebreaker meant to put them at ease.
Many job candidates make the mistake of answering this question with talk of something personal like their family, kids or hobbies. Some even launch into their life story, starting with their hometown and continuing on through their college graduation.
And some job seekers simply summarize their resume, going point-by-point through their work experience and education history.
The best answers to this question clearly explain how you’re qualified for this particular job and — just as important — why you want it. So before you start crafting your answer, spend some time reviewing the job description in the recruitment ad for the position and company. That way you’ll have a good understanding of what the hiring manager is looking for as far as qualifications, experience and fit with the workplace culture.
No matter how you answer this question, don’t take up too much time with your response. You don’t have to tell the hiring manager every single thing that makes you a great fit for the position. Just give a few important details that will spark their interest in learning more and you’ll get the interview off to a great start.

Things to Do on Your First Day at Job

Hello guys!  This is  Fratres  and today I'm going to talk about the things that you should do if you're going on the job for the first time or even if you're shifting your job with a new one. There are some things that you should do on the first day of every new job. So here we go, 1- Describe Success In Your Role: The key to doing an amazing job is knowing exactly what's expected from you. There is no better time to find out just what that is than on your very first day. Ask your boss how your success will be measured and over what time frame. Without context and expectations you will have no clue to deliver, the time required to come up to speed and the resources you will need to deploy to achieve success productively and efficiently. 2- Seek Out the Right Reading Material:   Immerse yourself in reading all that you can about the company's culture and norms old newsletters, articles, decks, org charts etc. These types of documents can give you a decent p...
