Answer 1

as oppposed to a stale engineer.

first relax.....
be honest.
think aobut the kinds of questions they will ask:

tell me about yourself...(they dont mean tell me im an engineer --they want to get to know you a bit)

why do you want to join our company?

what do you know about our company?

is there anything you would like to know about our company?

etc etc etc

Answer 2

Well not that I'm an engineer but I've got to imagine the interview process is pretty much the same as any where else. Some things to do- dress at least and maybe even more formal/business like than you think the employees for such a place normally dress; make eye contact; answer questions honestly; ASK questions (re the company, the job for which you are applying); if they have a web-site, check it out; bring resumes and maybe references, copies of grades may be useful, and any "work" either professional of school-related that may show your experience and talent; for today's grads, things like piercings, etc should be removed and/or hidden to convey a professional appearance; avoid saying things like uh huh, slang terms, etc.; arrive about 15 minutes earlier than the interview (nothing shows dis-respect to a possible employer than arriving late when they are doing you the favor). Be prepared for questions that relate to personal interests; career goals with the company; what you can offer the company that others may not; personal and career strengths and weaknesses; how your experience relates to the position you are seeking; etc. After the interview, thank the person(s) conducting the interview for their time and follow up with a thank-you letter (possibly an e-mail if you know the persons address) a couple days after the interview. If you don't hear anything within about two weeks, I would personally call to follow up but from recent experience the employer probably won't tell you much (for better or worse). As someone else said, don't get depressed if you don't get the position because the job market can be brutal (I know from first-hand experience) and just look at each interview as practice for the next one. Good Luck!---Wow, you actually have many people giving you very good advice and tips.

Answer 3

Just be yourself and try to do the following

Try to research the company and learn as much about what they do as you can before the interview.

Always answer questions with a positive spin. They will ask questions to see if you are a positive or negative thinker.

Be truthful. If you don't know something they ask then state you would have to research that before you could answer. They will ask questions they know you cannot answer. Most companys want to see if you will try to bluff or if you get frustrated.

Be prepared to answer questions like
Why are you good fit for them?
What are your strengths?
What are your weaknesses?
What are your salary requirements?

They may use questions like
If you were a tree what kind would you be and why? There is no right answer. They just want to see if you can adapt and react quickly to surprises.

Be friendly but professional. When asked questions try to calmly answer directly and to the point. Don't get to wordy or try to explain everything. If they want more detail to an answer they will ask.

Don't tell jokes or offer your opinions on politics or current events unless asked. This may offend someone or give them the idea you are not serious.

Be prepared for a drug test. Many employers do this at the interview if you are considered a candidate.

Have questions you would like them to answer. They will ask if you have questions about the company or your employement situation. If you ask questions it shows that you are interested in the company and employment.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

Answer 4

First of all try to relax... you will give off a better "first Impression" if you are calm and collected.
Do some research on the company and the position so that you are well prepared and it shows them you are serious about the position.
Dress well (iron the clothes), trim your hair, shave, smile, make eye contact and shake hands firmly. Oh, and don't wear cologne (just bath). No visible body piercings or tattoos if possible.
When answering questions, its ok to take a moment before you speak. Make sure you know what you want to say. Always answer questions in a positive manner, especially when talking about yourself. If they ask "what do you feel are your weak points" Answer "I'm over eager and sometimes impatient to get my work done". See your not actually pointing out negatives.
When discussing the position, try to always relate your skills to the position you are interviewing for. Ultimately they will hire the best "fit" for the position, so make sure you keep that impression in their mind.
Make sure you have some good questions to ask… it’s not about trying to get the job because it’s a job; it’s also about making sure you want the job as well.

Answer 5

be yourself.

answer honestly.

be courteous to your interviewer.

it's better to pause for a second after having been asked a question, and then to speak in a full setence or coherent thought, rather than trying to blurt out the first thing that comes to mind.

also, think of some answers to some commonly-asked questions. "what is your greatest strength" or "what is your greatest weakness" - that sort of thing. And don't say "my greatest weakness is that I'm too much of a perfectionist" or anything evasive like that. They know you're not perfect, and an honest recognition of your weaknesses is actually an asset.

dress appropriately. if you are not sure, then call ahead and ask someone (not your interviewer) what the proper attire is.

shave. people instinctively distrust unshaven men more than shaven men. make sure your hair is combed and styled in a normal fashion (no flocks of seagulls looks).

other than that, relax. if the job is appropriate for your skills, and the company is a fit with your personality, then the interview is nothing to be afraid of.

Answer 6

Answer 7

1. Do your research about the company that is interviewing you. Employers some times expect you to have questions for them, so if you don't know what the company does, and you have nothing to say, it makes you look aloof.
2. Think about questions they might ask. People may want to know about your problem solving skills, your technical know-how, things you did in college that gave you skills, etc.
You can find some good info careers at https://www.cco.purdue.edu/student/
3. Have your "props" with you. Portfolios, etc, if they relate to the position. Bring them in a nice, professional looking folder.
4. Interviews are no different than when you first are introduced to people who are older than you, like when you meet your parent's friends. You walk up to them, you shake hands, you make eye contact, and if they make small talk, you do the same.
Good luck.

Answer 8

just be yourself. don't try to impress at all cost.

1) before you go to the interview, learn some info about the company you go to.
2) while at the interview, try to understand what your work will be there. ask questions about your future job: like what daily tasks will i have, who is my direct boss, who are my direct colleagues, what is the general "vision" of the company.
3) ask what is expected of you. - profit, number of clients/per day no of projects or tasks per day etc

4) prepare a resume that will emphasize your education and extracurricular activities. be as concise as possible, but do not omit anything relevant for the job you apply.

5) at the interview, describe what other tasks you have done before, what small jobs you had, and what were your responsibilities, what you've accomplished.
6) be active, show them you have the abilities, you can handle responsibility and you care to get the best of a job.

Answer 9

Take deep breaths and relax. If you have any questions about the job write them down so you don't forget them and so you can ask them. Some examples of questions: How much does it pay? What hours will I be working? Stuff like that. And make sure to bring a copy of your resume in with you(if you have one). It shows you are prepared. Congratulations and good luck!!

Answer 10

First of all, relax. You won't get every job for which you interview (at least not usually) so go into the interview looking at it as interview experience. Smile and shake the hands of the interviewers. You can find advice and tips for interviews at the link below. Good luck.

Answer 11

What company? I work for a large Telco myself, AT&T formerly SBC. Just be yourself and answer truthfully, don't drink caffeine prior to the interview. Let them know you are available right away, and sell yourself. Bring out the good things about your work ethic if given the opportunity, such as you are very responsible, a hard worker, you had perfect attendance in school, etc..

Good Luck and dress sharp.
