"Tell me about yourself" if you are having no work experience

-

Imagine that you are applying for an administrator position, and you are in the interview room. Then the interviewer asks you to tell her/him about yourself - and you have no job experience.

In this situation, what should you tell?

Don't be nervous. Nothing to be afraid of. The interviewer is not a tiger. Straight your back and look your eyes at her/his below eyes, then describe with clear voice and average speed:

"My name's Chakriya. I live in Phnom Penh. I just graduated from university, majoring in English for communication. This is the first job that I applied for. I've learnt about your company due to a job announcement on A.com. Though I don't have work experience, in my fourth year at university, I had studied office management and yes, it is related to administrative work as well; so, I am sure that I can work this job, and this is the reason I decided to apply for administrator at your company."

This is an example for responding to "Tell me about yourself". 

You can edit according to your own condition and situation.

However, no one can guarantee that you pass when you apply this answer; it is to give you an idea to prepare for your interview only.

There are many factors leading to success in a job interview. If you fail, you should be cheerful and tell yourself that you are having a chance to experience the next job interview that might be a higher position than this.

Don't be afraid to fail, my friends. It's really a good opportunity to make you become stronger.

What I do to make people who can read and can't read read my writing

T here was one day LinkedIn notified me of the article of a business woman.  I didn't know her until I saw her last name, I checked then I realized she is the sister of Facebook, now Meta's owner.  I followed her but later on I wondered why I became her followers - because I liked, because I wanted to use her to get noticed, or because she gave me inspiration. Neither of them. I decided to unfollow her; I will wait for the day I have a sincere and clear goal to follow her, then I will follow her. Well, before I clicked unfollow, I was inspired by one thing. She had an article and at the bottom there was a video link. As I clicked it, it linked me to a video but it was not new - it was her voice reading that article. During the early days of the pandemic, the schools were closed and studied online. One of my nephews was at kindergarten and because of that, he couldn't read or write.  When I visited him, he liked me to read a book for him. I found he liked readin

It is a short story that I had published on February, 01 2019. I hid it, but now I have decided to publish it again. Just to entertain the readers only, because these days, I cannot find a  topic to write; therefore, I check and I think I should show the post that I have hidden.  Please enjoy. written by Chakriya PHOU In a company's room... Interviewer : Hello, welcome to my company. Please show why I should hire you.   Interviewee : Because I have 3 qualifications.   Interviewer : What are they?   Interviewee : First, I speak honestly. Second, I share all knowledge/information. Third, if I do something wrong, I will accept my mistake.   Interviewer : Because of these 3 qualifications, I hope you'll find another job.   Interviewee : Why?   Interviewer : You speak honestly, it means you are not flexible. You share info, it means you cannot be my confidant because you would tell others about my story. You accept your mistake if you do wrong, it means you don't k

One difficulty the online business using Facebook page meets

-
Image
Online business doesn't always go smoothly, it has problems like business on the land. Such as my business. I sell PDF and Ms word books on a Facebook page. Mostly I use a cell phone to operate my shop. With the old platform, I and customers could contact each other fast.  When Facebook changed to Meta and changed its platform, I could not communicate with my customers - especially when they messaged or commented to buy my product, I didn't receive it until half a day later. So I have to use the Meta business app to run my store. However, it doesn't help my business to be better. The app goes down everyday; I have to reinstall it once every two days or I will lose my customers. I cannot choose though it gives me a hard and unhappy time - because Cambodians are fans of Facebook. It's a real example to prove that doing business is not easy and being an online entrepreneur, especially a start-upers, isn't always successful - we need time.
