hey guys welcome and welcome back to my channel if this is your first time seeing this face i'm
scholastica and i'm here with you my baby princess Tyra because she will not allow me film this video
in this video we're going to be talking about why you are unsuccessful after your interview
so i spoke with a recruiter recently and she gave me some reasons why you get rejected
even after your interview so make sure you watch this video to the end
will you let mommy film this video? yes i will
so guys welcome back so i talked with an employer slash recruiter recently she specializes in
international recruitment of nurses, care assistants, doctors because some of you
guys do interviews and then you get unsuccessful emails after the interview so i asked her what
could be the reason because i know that it's not really easy to get an interview especially
now that you have a lot of people applying for the same job so when you get an interview you
are praying that it's successful and it's very discouraging when it comes back unsuccessful
so i asked her what are some of the reasons why this happens and here's what she said. So 80
percent of the people that get unsuccessful emails are those that did not prepare for the interview
this can be in two forms let's talk about the first part which is in form of your CV
so i know we say um 'tush' up your CV to the acceptable standard like put a lot of experiences
and skills but it's actually bad when you over exaggerate things in your CV
so from what i understood from our discussion when they get your CV, it's the first impression of you
so just looking at what is in your CV they already have an idea of what to expect if they employ you
now imagine they invite you for interview and everybody is sitted for the interview and then
they ask you about things that you have put in your CV and then you have no clue about it.
for example in your CV you wrote something like you are very good with elderly
patients you've worked in the geratric ward you've taken care of dementia clients
and then in your interview they ask you how do you manage a confused patient and you are clueless
another example is let's say you put in your cv that you have 10 years job experience working as
a nurse in the ward and then in the interview they ask you you have a patient on blood transfusion
and this patient is reacting to the blood what is the first thing you are going to do and you
don't have any idea what to do tell me if you are the employer how would you feel? you would feel
like this candidate just went to google and manufactured all the skills all the experiences
and even the references are manufactured so guys please i have a video about um
interview questions likely interview questions i'm going to leave the link in the description box
watch that video i've had a lot of testimonies from that video many people send me messages even
check through the comments you watch the video and then you go for your interview confident and
you pass your interview but that does not mean that after watching the video you should forget
about your cv make sure you familiarize yourself with everything that you've put on your cv those
skills that you say you have make sure you read about them so that is the first part.
the second part is you did not do your research about this company or this nhs trust that you
are applying to so there are lots of nhs trusts in different parts of the uk and there are lots
of care homes now the employer is going to ask you why did you choose this particular company
what are you going to say of course they don't know or probably they know that you've applied
to millions and millions of companies and job vacancies but they also want to know why you chose
this particular company to apply to so guys when you get an interview request please make sure
you research on the trust for me they asked me that question because i work in a nursing home
and my employer asked me why did i choose this particular care home or why did i choose this
particular company rather and my answer was that they have a very high osce pass rate which was
true because most of the people i know that were working there they just go for their osce and
they get it on first trial and i didn't want to do osce twice so that was why i picked that company
and they were very impressed so guys make sure you research on this company because it's going to be
very discouraging to both you and the employer when they ask you about questions like this and
you are unable to answer and trust me nobody wants that especially now that you have a lot
of people applying for jobs and there are lots of people out there that will quickly grab your spot
even on that interview day you are not the only person being interviewed they have like let's say
five six seven candidates and they just give you guys separate times so maybe your time is at ten
o'clock the next person is at 10 30 and the other one is at 11 o'clock so if you don't do
your research and you don't answer the questions where you've already fixed the interview they
will move to the next person and that person will get the job if he or she is more prepared so guys
do your research, research on likely questions research on questions that can come out from
things that you've placed in your cv so you don't mess up and you'll be at the top of your game
so that is for 80 percent of people that get rejected after their interview or
let me say people that are unsuccessful after their interview now the remaining 20 percent there
the remaining 20 percent are dealing with external factors so things like internet connection like
what i used to say make sure you try your internet before your interview day so have
a friend call you just to test try things because your interview is going to be online on skype and
you know in nigeria in africa there are some places that really have internet issues in fact
to make it easier and better don't even make that call on your interview day make the call before
your interview day so that if there's any issues you'll be able to like sort it out before that day
so have a friend call you on trial make sure your microphone is working make sure your speaker is
working make sure your camera is clear your internet connection your internet settings
they are all sorted out before your interview day now apart from that another reason is having
a noisy background i know a lot of people most people have their interviews at home
it's better to actually have your interview at home when you are calm
you are comfortable in your surrounding but there is a disadvantage if you have little children that
are going to disturb you or you have a baby that is crying in the background disturbing
you during your interview it's going to be an issue just like this my little princess here
she has been crying i've been trying to make this video and
this is the last resort but you know if this is an interview i can't of course i cant bring my baby
to an interview and have my baby with me during an interview that is not professional at all
so guys um if you have a baby or you have children crying you can get your sister get someone to stay
with them at home in another room separate from the room that you are having your interview so
make sure all those noisy backgrounds if you have pets cats dogs barking you live near the road and
i live near the road now and i'm sure during this video you are hearing cars passing horning and
everything so if i was to have an interview today i'm not going to sit down here in this position
to have that interview because this background noises they're going to interfere i'll probably go
upstairs to somewhere that is very quiet and have my interview as long as i have good lighting so so
guys if you live in a house that is close to the road or you have children pets that are going to
disturb you during your interview keep them out of the way if that is not possible if you think that
is not possible and you can get someone to watch your children while you do your interview then
go to a cyber cafe and have your interview that is another option too because i remember when i was
in lagos they have cyber cafes like that so you go there and then you tell them that you you need
one hour private space so they'll just give you a room or a cubicle or something and then you just
have it to yourself so moving on apart from that you some people they treat the interview casually
so for example um you go late for your interview now for me i was early to my interview but
my interviewers my employer slash recruiter slash agency or whoever the people that did my interview
they were very late and they kept on sending me messages there is no the weather is bad,
this person is on the way you just have to keep waiting guys it's okay for your employer to be
late to the interview but it is not okay for you to be late to your interview so
make sure you are seated your phone battery should be charged there is nothing as bad as your phone
going off in the middle of your interview so make sure everything you need for your interview
your phone your um internet connection the light everything you need is ready and you
you are seated properly dressed don't go to your interview dress like oh it's an online interview
it doesn't matter and then you just wear one polo like i'm wearing now not that polo is bad though
but you just yes something that that that you know you cannot wear to a physical interview anything
that you cannot react to a physical interview don't wear it for your online interview so
make sure you dress professionally don't treat it casually don't be late
and don't forget to research on the company i wish you guys lots and lots of good luck
success in advance and i hope you get your job thank you so much for watching this video to the
