Answer 1

Be honest and give examples to their questions. This is what we call behavioural interviewing. For example if they want to know about your problem solving skills with a difficult customer give them an example of a problem that you have experienced, how you dealt with it and what the outcome was. Good luck.,

Some General Job Interview Tips
Do not smoke, chew gum, or eat garlic beforehand.
Wear suitable interview clothes.
Take copies of your CV with you.
Arrive on time for your job interview.
Any applications handed before the interview begins, are to be filled in as accurately as possible, make sure they match the information in your Cv and Cover Letter.
Always greet the interviewer by his/her last name and try to pronounce it correctly.
Have a good firm handshake.
Look alert and interested. Scan the room once and then keep your eyes on the interviewer.
Wait until you are offered a chair before you sit down.
Stress your achievements.
Always conduct yourself professionally and if something beyond your control occurs, show a sense of humor.
Be enthusiastic and show it in your replies and body language.
Answer the interview question by more than a simple yes or no but try not to go over the 60 second limit.
Avoid at all cost complaining about your current or former employer in your job interview.
Do not answer questions about politics or religion if the job is completely unrelated.
Do not raise salary discussions on your first interview - this is usually done on the second interview. Make sure you do your wage research before hand.

Your answer to the initial opening statements in the job interview are important, these are called "ice breakers".

Some times the interviewer will ask whether you had difficulty finding the company premises. Your answer should be brief and polite. The interviewer is merely being polite - if you had problems in finding the premises he/she doesn't need to know that.

Use replies such as
I'm fine thank you, and you?
I'm very well, thank you.

These replies express a careless attitude
So, so
OK
Not so well

There are various kinds of interviews:

Phone Job Interview
Lunch Job interview

Each job interview has it's own strategies and particular points one should be aware of.

Answer 3

Be yourself - don't try to project an image that your are not. If you have strong points, emphasize them; if you have weak areas, admit them but provide an explanation so that it seems like you're addressing the area.

Be truthful. Giving false information may get you a job, but you can be found out any time. Most hiring managers know that people are not perfect.

Be interested in the work and responsibilities, not just the salary & benefits. I have interviewed some people who kept asking about benefits/salary and didn't seem interested in what he/she would be tasked to do; needless to say, they did not get the job.

Be relaxed, loosen up a little. Some humor would not be out of place, but do not degrade in telling jokes or being flippant.

Dress appropriately, and research the company background and its products/services before you go for the interview.

Good Luck

Answer 4

Always ask your interviewer about the company and what they like about their job. People LOVE talking about what they do, and by you asking questions, you will show your interest in working for them and you'll initiate a good dialogue. This will also eliminate the one-sidedness that almost always seems to happen during the interview process. I always use this tactic during interviews and since I started doing this, I have always gotten an offer after the interview. Interviews are like sales pitches. When you are trying to sell something, you have to get to know the person you're dealing with and build a repor with them so they trust you. So in the interview, get to know your interviewer and you'll be able to "sell" yourself. Which is your goal, isn't it?

Answer 5

Face boldly, the question not known to you ,you straight tell that it is not known to you-best of luck.

Answer 6

wear a tie, and don't BS.
