HOW TO GET A BETTER JOB OFFER

Finding a job is a courageous thing to do. No one should be half-hearted while searching or going to job interviews. Putting in a lot of prayers is something that worked a lot for me. I will not be ashamed to tell you to pray for the job you are applying for. 

The first company that called, offered me a job right away, informing me that they will give me a call, days before the training starts. After a week of not receiving a call, I decided to follow-up on my application and was informed that they don't have a schedule yet.

With that, I decided to send two more job applications to other companies. Applying as a Supervisor, I don't have any equivalent job experience but I said to myself that I know that I can do the job all I need to know is how.

A day later, I receive a call from another company I applied for and was scheduled for an interview the following day. I was there an hour early but the line for the applicants was long already. I waited patiently with the others, then one of the staff came out and started interviewing us one by one.

All the applicants that came before me were informed that they will just receive a call. So, as I waited I said to myself, "This will not take long, they will just give me a call."

My turn came and to my surprise I was informed to stay since another HR staff will be interviewing me. On the final interview, I was informed that they are considering for a managerial position instead.

One secret is going to the interview well prepared. I note down all, as all the possible questions that may be asked. 

Studied my CV and checked the possible questions that may be asked of me, considering my past employment.

Don't be too lazy answering exam given to you during an interview. Understand the question then answer. 

I even negotiated for the salary grade, just to show my courageousness. 

The thing is. if the offer is better than you expected. Take it. 

People tend to qualify themselves for the position they want to achieve. The truth is, that time will never come for we always tend to look at ourselves less than what other people see. If you want something, might it be a higher position or a business. Start now. 

Be brave for if you don't take the offer now. Someone else will be more than happy to take your place.
