Answer 1

well firstly, dress nicley, you don't want to make a bad first impression. second, when you walk into the room, look confident, but not to confident, smile, sjake hands, don't sit down until you are offered a seat. make eye contact when you are talking to them, THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!!!! you don't want to say something stupid (but take to long to think) when you leave, shake hands again, somehow tell them you are interested in the job and leave. when you get back, write them a thank you letter, for letting them interview you. this shows that you appriciate the time and are interested. if you get the job, congratulations! if you don't, well it was worth the try. and if you get the job write a thank you note also. ok then, good luck, i hope all goes well!

Answer 2

First of all : Attire.
Plan a good attire. Dont forget a smile.

Second : Confidence
First appearance with good attire, confidence and smile should set the atmosphere right for an interview. This is very easy to say. Practice it in front of a mirror.

Third : knowledge
Brush up on some questions that are normally asked.
Here is a good link I found, which has a beauty advisors view of the profession and some tips.

Answer 3

Not sure about what you should prepare and what they'll ask you however!

Look directly at your interviewer however, don't stare. Occassionally let your eyes wander but for most of the interview, they should be focused on the interviewer.

Speak clearly and loud enough for them to hear you.

Speak confidently however, that maybe hard sometimes, then take a subtle air of arrogance (not too much) to compensate for your lack of confidence.

Choose your words carefully. Some words, despite having the same meanings as other words, will have a better effect and steer the outcome of your interview towards a positive ending.

Answer 4

I have been on 8 interviews in the last couple of months and have gotten offers from every one of them. I have also had the responsibility of hiring people.

Here is the key:
Be honest. Don't say what you think they want to hear. Most interviewers know what is real and what is fake. If you come across as fake, you are halfway out the door already. Be direct. Look them in the eye. Take the time to think about your answer.

People always tell me, "say this" or don't say..." Don't listen to those people be yourself. They want to hire you. If you are one person in the interview and another person when you start working, you won't be there long.

And remember: Dress for success!
Good luck.

Answer 5

1. Dress as you would if you were going to work at that particular job (look professional) so they know what you will look like day after day.

2. Remember that the minute you walk into the office you are being interviewed. Consider the receptionist and anyone else in the office as part of your interview and act/speak accordingly.

3. Answer their questions without elaborating too much. If they ask you to expound on an answer though, by all means, do so.

4. Keep in mind that you are interviewing them as well. Feel free to ask questions about benefits, etc.

5. Look them directly in the eye and smile often. It displays confidence.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Make a good resume of all your skills and good qualities. Be your own presentation by dressing very professional and maybe making your makeup stand out. Be very friendly and outgoing but professional at the same time. Practice answers to questions they might bring up like Why should we hire you? What have you accomplished? Ect. so you don't get caught off guard. Finally just be yourself try to be as relaxed as possible and remember its just an interview if you get the job, wonderful but if not you will just continue with your search until the right place comes along.

Answer 7

Get on the net and research the company that you will be interviewing with. Find out as much as you can. They interviewer will be impressed that you bothered to learn about the company.

When I was hiring, I looked for good attitude and neat personal appearance.

After the interview, be sure to send a thank you to the person who interviewed and anyone else you were introduced to.

Answer 8

First, Do you believe you will be good at this job and why???
2nd, Do you dress well, ALL the time. (Self respect)
3rd, Will these people be able to get along with you (Pretty important)
4. Show them your best stuff ONLY. Even if it is not a lot.
5. Be naturally excited at the interview, not worried and nervous.
I hire, and not hire, people based on these points only.
Anything else can be taught or learnt any time.
Good luck.

Answer 9

I had an interview last week and got the job. Some of the key points are do not chew gum or candy. Always wear panty hose (even if it is 90 degrees outside), no open toe sandals, be professional, no big earring or too much jewelry. If you are going to wear earrings, just put in the studs. Dark colors are always good. Wear a nice skirt or pant suit. If you wear heels, don't wear them too high. Have your hair looking neat. do not put on heavy perfume. This is not good, especially if a employer is allergic to perfumes or colognes. Always keep eye conttact. Good luck!

Answer 10

check out the companies history or learn a little bit about them their business. If they have a website, visit the site and read some of their latest news and stuff just so that you can refer to it or incorporate your answer with their information.
for example: if you have started a new item, or special offers or something of that type you may use it to say, I know you folks are doing this and this and my knowledge/experience will help you with ABC/XYZ
At the interview make sure you have a question for them. depending on the size of the company/business ask them what their future plans are and what direction they might be heading to...

Answer 11

I probably don't have to tell you to dress proffesional, and stylish since that is part of the job description I would figure.

There are two classes of interview questions:

1. Behavioral questions
2. Job related questions

Behavioral questions are meant to try and make you squirm in your seat. Job related questions attempt to determine your previous experience.

The most danerous questions are going to be open-ended ones that begin with "Describe..." or "Tell me about..." cause they just give you all the noose to hang yourself with. However sometimes closed-ended questions generally starting with "Are you..." "Do you..." will trip you up.

For example a job related question would be like, "Tell me about your experience advising people on personal beauty" "Describe a challenging experience with a client and how you resolved it?" Prepare for these tough questions, by remembering your previous jobs, or life experience and try to make a mental picture of yourself handling this situation. Write things down on paper, but don't bring it into the interview, use it to study.

Then you have behavioural questions. These questions are the dreaded, "Tell me about your faults." and "Tell me about some of the challenges you face in your current job." and "Describe how you deal with change."

You must admit your faults, but you must also show that you are working on them as well. Don't bring up something bad, but something that is medium or light in severity, and something you are working on and have made progress. For example an answer might be, "I used to have difficulty with computers, but I have taken several computer courses, and have made much progress in facing that challenge." The same thing for questions about your challenges.

So here are some tips:

1. Find a list of interview questions on the web (try googling for it)
2. Make a list of things that you do well, and study that
3. Find some challenges you have and try to isolate a couple you could use for the "challenges you face" question
4. If several interviewers are interviewing you, and they all try to gang up and start grilling you on purpose to test your patience, do not loose patience. Simply say something like, "I am flattered by your eagerness to ask me questions and I am willing to answer all of them, but I am afraid I can only answer one at a time" while smiling.
5. Sometimes an interviewer will do weird things to try understand you. If they ask you if you could get some coffee, or help them move something, oblige and do not be or look offended. They are trying to test your willingness to participate. They may ask if you are willing to make coffee or take out the trash. That is the same thing.
6. Maintain your cool at the interview and end an interview with something like "I am eager to get started and look forward to hearing back from you soon."

Hope that helps. Good luck!

EDIT: Be sure to send a thank you letter within 48 hrs of the interview.
