job interview questions need help!?

Question

Hi well I have an interview at a nursgin home tomorrow i just got my stna's so ive never worked at a nursing homes before.
since I am inexpereinced can someone give me some helpful tips on getting this job? there are other people applying also.

I really need this job and dont want to sound desperate, but i tend to be very shy and quiet. I just want to make a good impression and hopefully get the job. any tips?

Answer 1

I'm shy and quiet too. I think the best bet is to just smile a lot, be friendly and attentive and just answer their questions to the best of your abilities. Good luck! :)

Answer 2

Dress neatly and conservatively. Make sure your hair and make-up are neat and not overdone.

Keep good eye contact with your interviewer and attend to what he or she is saying with body language. (Lean forward occasionally, nod your head, smile when it's appropriate, etc.)

When the no experience thing comes up, you can emphasize what you've learned in your training that is state of the art, give brief explanations of any volunteer work you've done in the field, list your strengths like punctuality, compassion, teachable attitude, (if these things are true) or anything else you can think of that's related to the job that will put you in a good light.

A couple of days after the interview, follow up with either a phone call or a note thanking the interviewer for his/her time and again, express your desire to be considered for the job.

Do your homework. How much does an entry level person make in your field? When they ask what salary you expect, you can come up with a realistic number.

If you do the above, even if you don't get the job, you will have made a good first impression. It will only be a matter of time before you get hired somewhere. Good luck.

Answer 3

You need to have confindence in your ability to get a job. Just believe in yourself. Most interview questions are looking to see how you interact with another person. If your not sure of what someone asked, ask to repeat it. (Know what you don't know).. It's okay to not have an answer for every single question, but try to answer them as best as possible. When someone asks you a question, pause and then think about the answer.

Answer 4

Most communication is non-verbal. Stand/sit up straight. Dont fidget. Have a firm handshake. Look your interviewer in the eye (but don't stare). Dont say "Ummm' or "Ahhh.' Answer the questions honestly, straight forwardly, and dont ramble. Tell them how excited you are about the job. say " I want this job/ I will work hard for you."
good luck.

Answer 5

Research the company Know everything you can about the company. show genuine interest by asking them questions. Avoid asking too much about compensation. Relax get a good nights sleep and eat well that day good luck

Answer 6

I hate the stupid questions that businesses ask!!! Be difficulty-free. i changed into requested at a job interview: What do you sense this pastime can furnish you? I reported a pay examine I were given the pastime, i imagine for being difficulty-free.

Answer 7

Can you handle the smell of Nursing Homes?
But anyways good luck on the interview!~!

Answer 8

Once thing you need to tell them is you love working with the elderly!! They want to make sure that you treat them kindly. Just tell them that you would like the experience and that you know that you will do a good job
Good Luck

Answer 9

Indicate how responsible you will be. Older folks need love and care. Indicate how you will use your training to make their life better. Talk about an older adult you loved and took care of. Convince them you understand that people's lives are in your hands.

Answer 10

I have had lots of friends who have worked in nursing homes.And the one thing that has affected them most was the depression of so many folks either dying whom are in poor condition. So....I hope you can handle this well.
