Job Interview? HELP?

Question

Hi Everyone, I have an interview, actually, it’s my last interview. I’ve been on 3 interviews with this company and the fourth one will be the last one. Then the company will make their decision. I’m nervous and I would like to impress this attorney. I’m interviewing for a Legal Secretary Position in an Investment Bank. I would like to ask intelligent questions? It was told to me that the attorney was an actor, before he became a attorney.

Answer 1

The word “interview” itself makes a person tense and nervous who needs to appear in the interview. It is normal human behaviour to become confused or get tensed but such things can be overcome with practice, learning from seniors and elders, thru own experience. At my time internet was not available. These days Internet is a rich source of information. U can learn many things about the interview by visiting the websites the links of which are given below. On some websites u will find questions also along with answers which are frequently asked and questions pertaining to ur requirement can also be found there provided u surf on them thoroughly and consciously. It will improve ur performance remarkably. If will infuse a high level of confidence in u. It will make u more frank and it will develop diplomatic qualities in u too. Overall, I would say that it will give an impetus to ur personality development. Ur specific requirement can also be met on these sites provided these are surfed thoroughly and consciously.

I personally would not mention anything outside then what the job pertains to at the moment. Small talk to be left for later days. In the meantime, ask questions as far as how long has the company been around, what things are expected. I was advised, never to bring up, benefits, money this is something to be brought on by the employer. You don't want them to believe that you are only soley there for the money. It is important that the employer believes you are going to be dedicated to the company because of your interest. It is basically the sealing the deal, if you have made it to the 4th then chances are you have the job already. But, embelish on you accomplishments, let them know why you would be a good fit. Common questions about the company, if you have expectations with the company it is always good to mention those as well. Is shows you have ambition.

Good luck, and the biggest of them all is BE YOUR SELF!

Since this is your fourth interview, you should know the layout pretty well and be able to walk in with confidence, big plus. When you walk in, don't slam the door, but don't ease it closed quietly, either. Act like you've been there your whole life.
When you sit down, sit directly in front of your interviewer, keeping good eye contact.
Make sure you have done your reseach on the company. What type of client demographic do they cater to? What is the company's annual earnings? Know as much background info as possible.
You could check out imdb.com to see if his name is listed under actors. If he had any speaking roles, then he should be on there. This could give you some background info on your interviewer that may open up into a conversation about it. Maybe he/she has been in something that you have seen. A small compliment may be in order. lol.

Good luck on getting the job. :)

Answer 4

You are there for a job interview, not small talk. Any questions you have should be job related - focused on the company or on what would be expected of you. How much training time - what kind of benefits - are you on probation - is there anything you can do to help make yourself a better match for the position. (The last one is the best of those questions.)

Hopefully you've taken the time to learn about the company, maybe there are some detail there you can use to form questions.

You can outright ask if they see you fitting into their company.

You've reached the 4th interview, this is your time - use it well.

Answer 5

This far into the interview process, your questions should be of a 'connection' nature. That is, connecting what you've learned in previous interviews and what YOU have to offer into intelligent 'tell me more about' questions. For example, "In my previous interview with Mr. Smith, he told me that time management for the attorneys was an ongoing challenge. Calendar management is one of my strengths, can you tell me how you would measure me, as a member of your team, on my ability to make your time more productive?" This type of question 'connects the dots' for the interviewer, between their business needs and what you have to offer. It also puts their brain into the mode of thinking about YOU already in the job.
About the benefits and salary stuff, it is true that you want to delay this discussion as long as possible. But I've got to assume that if you are on your fourth round, they are very interested in hiring you. That puts you ahead on the power curve. So I believe that asking about benefits, in a professional manner, is appropriate at this time. Having said that, is there an HR person on the interview team? Those types of questions are usually best posed for HR. That's their job.

Answer 6

not sure what the actor comment relates to, but best way to make a good impressions is to ask questions relevant to the job and the company. By now, you should know alot about the responsibilities. Ask questions about those responsibilities, also ask about the company, like you did your homework on the job, rather than just going into it cold. G/L

Answer 7

I hate the stupid questions that businesses ask!!! Be elementary. i develop into asked at a job interview: What do you sense this job can supply you? I pronounced a pay verify I have been given the job, i think of for being elementary.

Answer 8

if he was an actor, definitey google him. get familiar with his work. however, don't bring up anything in the interview. background knowledge of him is for your benefit to make you more comfortable. something about knowing this guy showing his butt on TV can make you feel at ease. Relax!!! Breathe! you made it this far. you will do just fine.

Lots of Luck!

Answer 9

Ask about benefits and insurance as those things would matter to you the most.
