Sbah El kheir family of JESUS! May FATHER command the blessing to be with you, in your barns and in your vats (Deuteronomy 28:8). May you grow (knowledge, character, skill, gifts, talents, wisdom), expand (abilities, opportunities) and prosper in your territory. May your prosperity be for the advancement of the kingdom! You will be blessed when you arrive and when you go (Deuteronomy 28:6).
" Forwhich of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it." (Luke 14:28, NKJV)
After prayer and communion with the HOLY SPIRIT, preparation is the third key to a successful job interview. Unfortunately, many pray without preparing, while others prepare without praying. You: pray, prepare and listen to the HOLY SPIRIT. Improvising is good. But it is better to prepare in advance. That's why I'm sharing a list of questions to help you prepare for your job interviews. I'm sure you'll find it useful.
As in previous articles, remember that an interview is not the only criterion of a recruiter and the importance of a criterion is relative. A successful interview does not make you the best because according to GOD, all is grace. A failed interview does not reduce your skills. It was nothing more or less than an interview. If your application is accepted, great. If not, good, GOD has a better opportunity for you. If you are selected, but GOD asks you to decline the offer, don't be afraid to say no. He will reward your obedience. Besides, we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28, NKJV).
