TODAY ON THE CAREER BLOG: EFFECTIVE READING SKILLS FOR STUDENTS AND EVERYONE, ATTENDING INTERVIEWS FOR JOB SEARCHERS, AND OPPORTUNTIES FOR WORKERS, BUSINESS PERSONNELS AND THE JOBLESS.



CATEGORY 1: THE STUDENTS (JOB SEACHERS CAN ALSO LEARN)



It has been a while now on this topic, “techniques of effective reading and understanding”. I strongly advice that you go to my previous posts for the introduction of this series. We have been dealing on the techniques of effective reading and the next technique to consider is the OK4R formula for reading, understanding and recalling.



OK4R stands for “Overview, Key Points, Read, Recite, Reflect, Review”. This techniques actually has 6 steps and appears to be an extension of the SQ3R technique discussed in my previous posts since both are the same in terms of substance except that while SQ3R has 5 steps, OK4R has 6 steps.



The OK4R works as follows for those who may wish to try it: Again when presented with a written text, the first step here is for the reader to look through the pages of the text – this is the OVERVIEW which is comparable to the survey step in the SQ3R technique. This is followed by the KEY POINTS stage when the reader is required to select the key points after he has skimmed through the text to locate the topic sentences and key words subsequent upon having raised some questions about them. This approach is also similar to the second stage in the SQ3R method.



The next stage is the first of the 4R, which is the READING stage. Here, the reader is to actually read as in the same stage in the SQ3R technique. The second R is the fourth step when the reader is to RECITE what he has learned – the same as in the other technique. The third R which is the 5th step requires the reader to REFLECT on all the issues, points, questions, etc, that have emerged from the text. The last stage is the fourth R which stands for REVIEW or REVISE. The reader here revises the text as in the fifth step of the SQ3R technique.



Ladies and Gentlemen, that concludes the four techniques of effective reading that have been in series on this blog. Choose the one that suits you best and have a successful academic spell. All the best!



CATEGORY 2: GRADUATES



In my previous post, we talked about the dos and don’ts before you are called into the interview room. Now let us go to the stage where you are called into the interview room.



DOS AND DON’TS IN THE INTERVIEW ROOM



ü When you are called in, acknowledge your salutation. Salute the panelists as the time of the day dictate. Look at the chairman in the face.

ü Sit an upright position. Don’t lean on the table even if you are tired.

ü You will normally be required to introduce yourself. Announce your name, your current position, your qualifications and work experience in not more than five minutes. If you have won awards and prizes, be they local, national or international, ensure that they are PROUDLY announced. Display the plaque or object of honour. It is not likely that the panelist will be interested in you being a graduate but that you made a 1st Class or an Upper Second or that you won the departmental, faculty or Vice Chancellor’s prize for the best athlete or all-round student or the university goal-keeper or football captain. Those are things that make you different from others. That is what you should stress. Don’t mention your areas of failure but SELL your ASSETS rather than bemoan you liabilities.

ü Answer the questions as concise as possible. While answering the questions, look at the interviewer asking the question straight in the face. That shows self-confidence. If you have an evidence to support your answer, show it. It may be a picture or commendation letter or even a pay slip. You may even show a slide on your laptop if need be.

ü If they ask you what remunerations you will like to earn, your reply should be “affordability, regularity, fairness and performance”. You may ask for too much or too low.



I am not done with you, this topic will continue in a matter of days. Keep visiting this blog. You can get more on www.hubpages.com/hub/interviewtips4u



CATEGORY 3: WORKERS, BUSINESS PERSONNELS AND THE JOBLESS.



I believe business is life. I also believe that the story of success should not be restricted to the salary you earn weekly, monthly or yearly. Venture into genuine multiple streams of income and be made a raven success. Visit www.hubpages.com/hub/joshuarealestate
