Do you have any questions for the panel?

This is always a very feared questions by Interviewees and most of them end up saying, "No thank You"

t could perhaps be the most horrid part of the job interview – “So, do you have any questions you would like to ask us?” – Aaarrrgh! You know fine well that a sheepish smile while shaking your head and saying “Nah I’m good thanks” isn’t exactly what they want to hear!

So with that in mind, I’ve decided to prepare you a  list of questions you can ask your interviewer. Keep in mind though – not all of these questions will be appropriate for every job interview out there. The one thing you should take away from this is that every job and every interviewer is different – these are just some generic examples so make an effort to think of questions relating to the job when you are preparing for
your interview.

Also, these questions aren’t just a list of stuff you can say just to be smart  at your interview and get the job. Many of these questions will help you understand more about the job and company you are applying for. Use this list as a basis for your research .
 
Questions to ask in an interview (in no particular order!):

•     How many other people work in the team? What are their job roles?
•     If the job is in a new department, ask about the reason for establishing the apartment and what the plans for growth are.
•     If the job is an old one, ask who you are replacing and why they have moved on.
•     Ask about appraisals and performance reviews – how often, will they be tied to pay increases or bonuses?
•     How will my performance be measured?
•     Can you describe your ideal employee? This is a great one – use it early on to find out what they are expecting so you can tailor your later responses to suit them!
•     A slightly more subtle approach than the last point would be to ask, “what skills and experience would you say are necessary for someone to succeed in this job?”.
•     Not suitable for senior management really, but asking interviewers what they like about working at the company can be a good way to start a conversation about your new workplace.
•     Likewise, asking your interviewer when they started with the company and why they have stayed with the company? In a polite way – try not to ask this with a grimace on your face! You want to get them talking a little – it strengthens your relationship with them just that little bit more which can make a difference.
•     (If you are being interviewed by the MD / owner) Hypothetical question – if you had to leave, how would you like to see the company be managed?
•     What scope for progress and promotion is there within the company?
•     What kind of work will I be responsible for over the next year?
•     Will I be expected to work late nights or at the weekend?
•     Can you describe a typical day or week in the job?
•     What makes this company stand apart from the competition?
•     In your opinion, what is the most important attribute / achievement / quality you would like to see from me within my trial period?
•     Do you have any questions about my ability to do this job? This one ain’t great most of the time – they would have brought any questions they had already. However, the point you are trying to make with this is to show them your proactive attitude and confidence. This could add a positive to your interview if other areas haven’t been great (lack of experience, etc).
•     Having reviewed my CV and interviewed me, what qualities do you see in me?
•     Are you interviewing more people for this position?

Communications Assistant Job Description

Communications Assistant Job Description
For those of you who are young, idealistic, and just brimming with shiny hopes and dreams, I have some unfortunate news: Life isn’t fair. Nor is it reasonable, rational, sensible, logical, nice, or fluffy. Life is strange, ridiculous, cruel, fantastic, bizarre, whimsical, capricious, and just a little bit dirty.

I tell you this because one day, possibly one day quite soon, your boss (or someone who wields even more power over your fragile working existence) is going to ask you to do something that you don’t think you should be doing.

Man Eating another man's brain?

It's apparently only in Kenya where a man has been forced to eat another man's brains for unknown reasons or rather reasons best known to the instructors.
If this can come out to be true as claimed by the slain soldier's neighbour in Kitale, then where is the justice in Kenya headed to?

Being underpaid or overworked?

I can't Afford to Quit But I Can't Afford To Stay

By Julia Karimi
We've all pondered quitting our jobs. But unfortunately, for many people the choice is not that easy. After all, having a job means earning a paycheck. But what if that paycheck barely pays enough to cover your bills and expenses?
It's common for workers to think they aren't paid enough and for various reasons. Sometimes it's because of the number of hours they work, or it may relate to their job duties. It could be that associated job duties are
complex in nature, or it could be just simply that the duties

What happens when employee is sacked or resigns

Many at times people quit their jobs for either being fired, having resigned or a move to a "greener" pasture. However, in the event that one of the aforementioned occurs, there are some payments in terms of compensation that an employee is entitled to as is stipulated in the laws of Kenya:

The employment arena in Kenya favors the employer for the simple reason that many employees, you included do not know  or bother to know their rights. Please consider this as a fifteen min

Office and Work ettiquette

Good Office Behaviour. Things Not To Share With Co-Workers,

Bad Office behaviour.
It's happened to everyone before. The constant flow of words that just keep coming, long after you've made your point (if there ever was one) and even longer after people stopped caring. The kind of gibberish that just won't stop unless someone else starts talking. The type of chatter that inevitably ends with you wishing you'd put your foot in your mouth. Yes, verbal diarrhea is never a good thing - but it can be worse in some places more than others.

Like the workplace.

There are certain things co-workers need not know about each other -

Two ears and one mouth

Why did God give us two Ears and One mouth?

During creation, God decided that human beings in fact all animals, should have one mouth and two Ears. This has never been for a mistake.
In deed, God had a special purpose for doing so and many have always thrived to find reasons behind this.
In fact, a perfect human being is one who uses the organs as appropriately as was intended during creation.
