Minimum Requirements

Have you ever been in the following situations?

1.   Your interview lasted for very few minutes  and you came out of the interview room with very low expectation of getting the job.
2.   The interview panel dismissed your answers by asking other questions while still answering the previous.
3.   The interview panel stopped you at the slightest of attempts to answer a question.
4.   The panel did not smile at any of your responses.
5.   One of the panellists was holding his chin midway the interview.
6.   Any of the panellists sighed and leaned back on his chair.
7.   You got stuck while answering a technical question and the room was silent after that with the panel shaking their heads.
8.   Was a question like ‘are you sure?’ asked at any point in the interview.
9.   Did any of the panellists lean towards the table and look at you towards the face with his hands folded.
This can easily send very bad shivers or chills down your spine but never should you think that way, it may be the opposite. After an interview, you feel that you can easily tell whether you have made it through the interview or not. Wait till you meet a good human resource manager who does not show any emotion or who shows opposite emotion. Interviewers like me will expose you to a situation of pressure and you may think that I am doing it because I do not like your face but no. Just imagine a situation where in the middle of an interview, a panellist drifts away and seem disinterested or walks and looks out of the window without paying attention to your answer while responding to a question. This may seem to you as a negative sign but how to respond to it may determine whether you get the job or not.
A good worker or employee should be flexible, agile, down to earth and humble. All this virtues should get tested during an interview and even after. I have told you before that employers can take you to an hotel for an interview, they can call you for a cocktail for an interview or even be among interviewees outside the panel centre. Be careful on how you respond to a panellist or how to ask them questions because you may have an idea of how interviews should be conducted but that is not what they want. The best interviews are those carried out in places where the environment is not official and intimidating but this is not to say that interviews carried out in the office are intimidating but you need to see how your future employee responds to various environments. Most grinding interviews are just meant to see how well you respond to situations under pressure and please be careful because you never know the pressure you will be subjected to during the interview.
We have had situations where after we look disinterested in your responses and seem to chase you away with our actions, people will turn abusive, others will revenge while others will be meek and bear with the situation as it grows. Be very careful how you respond to an interview especially you body language in the final minutes of the interview because that is where the interview is. If you are careful you will notice where a situation of pressure is and we recommend the following responses:
1.   Display a very hearty smile: This should be the first sign of gratitude from an interviewee and whether he made it through or not we will keep remembering this in the future. It shows that you really loved the experience although you do not have powers to affect the result or the outcome. If you time your smile well and it seems genuine, you will realise the panel taking a closer attention of what you will say next and they may smile back. This will show that you have opened their hearts to listen to what you have to say.
2.   Gesture gratitude by giving a slight quick bow: This can be confusing and you may end up giving a big bow which may seem worshipping but if you can bow using your head within a second do it while maintaining eye contact and at the same time speaking the next point. Be careful not to overdo it because it does not seem professional. The hand gestures should be minimised at this stage and if you must then hold your hands tight together on the table that you were using for the interview.
3.   Thank the panel: This can be a daunting affair after the ordeal that you have gone through. Appreciate the fact that they gave you a chance to the interview and the opportunity to listen to you. At this point be precision is encouraged because too much gratitude may be understood as sycophancy.
4.   Opportunity review: Say that if granted the job, it will provide the ground to demonstrate more in deeds than just plain words.
5.   Last thanks: The earlier version of appreciation was to start your final remark and the last gratitude is said on your way out. Say something like, ‘Once again, thank you for your time.’ While you open the door and take a slight bow like the one before.
These may sound basic but most people forget the usefulness of the little things in life that make a whole lot of difference. If you left an interview room and you left behind a good attitude, trust me if you were ranked second and the first candidate forgets to do these things, you will get the job. Basic is what drives an interview. We have said before that simplicity can give you a job easily because when you try to complicate yourself, someone can tell easily that this is not you.
Among things that you should never attempt after an interview is to bang the door or click on your way out. This includes shaking your head because the interpretation may be misguided and unwanted. Please be careful on the gestures that you display on your way out of the interview room because some employers observe them.

KPMG provides audit, tax and advisory services and industry insight to help organisations negotiate risks and perform in the dynamic and challenging environments in which they do business.

From first-line supervisors to top executives, managers plan and direct the work of the organization. They set policy, establish channels of communication and evaluate the work that is done. These functions require knowledge, skills and judgment, which are most effectively developed on the job.
To prepare graduates for management responsibilities, come companies recruit management trainees. These positions are often found in finance, trade, manufacturing and government agencies. Depending on the business, the position may also be referred to as marketing trainee, purchasing trainee, accounting trainee and management intern.

Whatever the title, the purpose of the position is the same: To train and mentor individuals for management functions in the organization. Duties of a management trainee vary by industry and by the specific firm employing the individual. Often, a trainee will be assigned duties in various departments of the organization. This is to familiarize the trainee with all functions of the organization.

For example, a management trainee hired by the store department may spend several months working as a clerk in one or more of the sales departments, followed by additional time working in customer services, purchasing, merchandising and personnel departments for example. In a bank, the trainee may work briefly as a teller, handle new accounts and then work at one of the loan desks before moving onto other assignments.
Trainees may also get classroom instruction on subjects relating to their rotational experience. The instructions may involve lectures, projects, oral presentations and tests. Guest speakers would also be invited.
Many firms have structured training programs that lay out the instruction and types of assignments the trainee will receive. They also specify times for the periodic evaluation of the trainee’s performance. Management training of this kind may range from six months to five years.
Under pressure to perform
A management trainee should therefore be prepared to work in a variety of situations. Depending on the industry, the setting may be a large office with many people, a workshop or a department in a retail store. Trainees many at times work as members of a team and at times on their own on an assignment. They are under pressure to perform well and qualify for advancement.
Minimum requirement.
A bachelor’s degree is the minimum requirement for a management trainee position. Occasionally, individuals with some experience in an industry may advance to management position. Firms may also require that applicants have a certain minimum degree score. In addition to a good scholastic record, employers look for indications of leadership such as participation in student government or other extracurricular activities.
Applicants for management trainee jobs must demonstrate maturity. They should be adaptable, analytical and capable of working well with others. They should have good organizational and communication skills. Some employers use psychometric and aptitude tests to aid in selecting applicants. Public agencies require civil service examinations usually both written and oral.
Opportunities.
Promotion is the goal of management training. The jobs open to those who complete a management training program depends on the industry employing them, as well as individual interests and aptitudes. Examples of opportunities including operations supervisor in a bank and a sales manager, credit manager or customer service manager in a retail store. Promotion often depends on the ability and willingness to travel or relocate.
Many employers recruit management trainees directly from universities. Some rely on referrals from college career placement bureaus, while others advertise vacancies in the newspapers and also on their web sites. Private and public employment agencies are also useful.

Role Objective/Summary

Human Resources and Administration Officer at Habitat for Humanity in Nairobi – Kenya Jobs, Careers and Vacancies

I know after just reading the topic today, you can easily conclude that you know how to do it but no you don’t. Just imagine you were an HR executive who has advertised jobs. How do you expect candidates to send you their applications? I remember sometime back we discussed an article on how to send job application emails but today let us concentrate on the resume. How do you create an email resume that will win interviews and influence recruiters?
90% of jobs these days want applications by email and if you have been doing it, has it been the right way? If you look at the earlier article we suggested ways through which you can achieve this. Sending an email asking for a job is the same as the physical letter because the quality of your work is called into question. You email should be perfect so should your CV. Now the big question comes, how do I send my email CV?
There are 8 simple ways we are going to suggest and to get started, follow these rules:
1.   Use plain text format: Plain text is the lowest common denominator for electronic text; every Web browser or email program can read it. To create a plain text resume, save it as a text file in a word processing program. Copy it into the body of an email when you apply for a job. Otherwise, you risk having your resume come out jumbled and unreadable.
2.   Generally speaking, do not submit a resume as an attachment: Although it’s easy to attach your resume, many experts recommend including the text of the resume in the body of your email instead. Recruiters often don’t open attached resumes because they can be infected with nasty viruses. It’s a risk they don’t want to take so attaching a resume instead of including it in the body of your email is a risk you don’t want to take. One exception: If you are applying to a job online and the company offers the functionality to upload a hard copy of your resume to your application, then go for it.
3.   Limit each line in your resume to 72 characters: Many email programs wrap text around at 72 characters. That means any line longer than 72 characters is going to be cut off and dropped down to the next line, making your resume look like it was hit by a chainsaw. Avoiding that 73rd character will help format the document so it stays organized and easy to read.
4.   Showcase your strong points first: Newspaper articles include the most important information at the front of the article; the best parts of your resume should be up front, too. Don’t make the recruiter scroll down through loads of information before getting to the good stuff.
5.   Run the spell check: Errors in any type of written correspondence can get you dinged. Don’t let the seeming informality of the electronic resume allow you to omit this key step. But don’t let your faith in technology make you complacent, either; spell checkers give all sorts of mistakes the green light. After you do the spell check, proofread it the old-fashioned way several times. Then get a friend or two to do it again.
6.   Take your electronic resume out for a test drive: Email your resume to yourself, because you’d much rather it be you who catches technical problems and errors, not a recruiter. Make sure the text looks right on the screen and prints out correctly. You might also try emailing yourself at different accounts. Email accounts have different ways of reading things, and you don’t want to take any chances that when it reaches the recruiter’s account it will look messy.
7.   Include a cover letter: It sounds like a no-brainer, but many applicants don’t include letters with their resumes. Cover letters that accompany electronic resumes should be brief and concise. Keep in mind that recruiters want you to introduce yourself, they want to see how you write, and they want to see you make a case for why the position they need to fill is one you’re right for. Be sure to indicate which position you’re applying for, what your qualifications are, and what you can contribute to the company.
8.   Make a backup: Save a copy of your resume on a disk and on your hard drive so you don’t lose it. Also make hard copies on good paper stock. You want to make sure that if your resume gets lost, you can reproduce it quickly. You also want to be sure that when you’re called in to interview, you’ve got a paper copy that looks good to bring with you. Recruiters love to misplace paper once they’ve called candidates in to interview, and if you show up prepared with some backups, that’s a detail that will count in your favor when it comes to decision making time.
The above pointers I know look very easy to grasp but be very careful because many employers do not use email services like the ones you use. Something may appear right on your email host but wrong on the employers’ desk. Do a thorough check of your CV and give it to your friend to go through. Especially on point 2, you need to take into mind of what the requirements of a given employer or job advertisement is. I also have to warn you of attaching academic certificates when asked not to because they make the email so bulky and hard to open.
All in all, the world is quickly moving into electronic job applications save for a few employers. So, the more perfect you do it, the better for you.
All the best from HCC
