How to interview_the_employer_75_questions_by_andrew_la_civita (1)Ita John
The document provides guidance on how to effectively ask questions during a job interview. It recommends organizing questions into three categories: Company, Role, and Boss. Company questions should be asked first to demonstrate that you are a big-picture thinker interested in the organization. Role questions should follow to understand the specific position. Finally, ask Boss questions. When structuring questions, state the research you did, ask an insightful question, and explain why you want to know the information. This helps the interviewer understand your interests and provide relevant answers, avoiding wasted time. Questions can yield short-term benefits by allowing you to sell yourself during the interview or long-term benefits by helping you evaluate fit.

The 30-60-90 day plan for your interview successIta John
This plan can help you to achieve the 4 main missions of any interviews, viz, it shows that you understand the job; that you can do the job; that you'll do the job; that you won't pose a risk to the hiring manager's own continued employment (since he will be the one responsible for hiring you)
You can learn from this sample cover letter for an internship role. You can revise it to suit your situation.
However, you can shorten your letter if you may.
Cover letter for different job applicationsIta John
The document contains 11 cover letters from candidates applying for various positions at GearBelt Resources Ltd. The letters provide background on the candidates' experience and qualifications, express interest in the roles, and request an interview. Key details include a VBA developer highlighting experience in financial services projects, a PMO manager outlining experience setting up governance structures, and a data analyst emphasizing skills in Excel, VBA and data cleansing tools.
Employability enhancement for all studentsIta John
This document proposes a new approach for universities to enhance PhD, MSc, and other post-graduate students' employment prospects. It suggests that business schools embed more distinct job role skills development into their programs. Students would choose a job role to focus on, develop an employment strategy with a career coach, and acquire the core job skills, relationships, certifications, work experience, and mentoring needed for that role. This would help students secure employment and improve the university's rankings, reputation, enrollment, income and graduates' satisfaction. Examples of job roles and their required hard skills are provided, such as research analyst, project manager, business analyst, and data analyst roles.
This mixed methods research surveyed over 1,000 undergraduate students across South-South and Southeast Nigeria to examine the factors that influence their entrepreneurial intentions. Statistical analysis found that personal attitude had the strongest influence on intentions, followed by perceived behavioral control and perceived barriers. Focus groups identified additional influencing factors like practical education and internships. A multi-group analysis found no significant differences between the two regions in the relationships between factors, though qualitative responses indicated some differences in observed entrepreneurial behaviors between the regions. The research provides implications for entrepreneurship education policy and approaches.
This document summarizes a mixed-methods study on the factors that encourage or discourage entrepreneurship among undergraduates in South-South and Southeast Nigeria. The study surveyed 1,129 final year students across 15 universities and 12 faculties. It found that personal attitude, perceived behavioral control, and perceived barriers were key influences on entrepreneurship intentions. Focus group interviews with 42 participants revealed that undergraduates want entrepreneurship education to be more practical with internships, rather than just theoretical classroom learning. The study concludes that incorporating students' views through multi-logical approaches could provide more useful policy solutions on attracting students to entrepreneurship.
