Job Interview?

Question

Hi,
How would someone be prepared for a job interview & what are the main secrets for a good interview?

Answer 1

As an HR employee, ex owner/operator of an company here is what I look for...

The first thing I look for is what I see in the first impression. Normally (not always) the first impression I see in a person tells me what type of employee he/she maybe.

Appearence is a key. Go dressed for the job your appling for. If it is a bussiness job, dress respectfully nice. If it is a line job, dress casully nice but not a over kill. Cleanliness is a plus and well groomed.

Two, have your papers organized. (documents, certificutes, deplomas). Know the job your appling for. Have a decent idea what the job is about. Self confidence is a strong key to getting a job.

Language you use. Body and verbal! Don't cross your arms and don't be pushy. Let the interviewer lead and don't give out too much personal info that is not needed. Show your serious, but try to show a sence humor to ease any tention. Ask questions of the things that reflects on you and what your job duties maybe.

Be polite, non-judgeamental and straight foward.
Good luck!

The objective of an interview is to convince the employer that you will be able to fulfill the organizational needs and fit into the company culture. Certain steps taken by you will definitely help you create a better impression on your interviewer. Update your resume , prepare for the interview questions , research the company and dress appropriately for the job . More details and information at http://www.precv.com/

Answer 3

Be attentive. Look at the interviewer. Ask questions where appropriate. Dress nice for the job for which you are applying. If possible, do some research on the company and try and work the facts into your questions so it shows you are interested.

Answer 4

Ask the interviewer questions about the job - make sure it's what you're looking for. Find out all you can about the company, what your duties would be, who you'd be working for, why the last person left...

What you don't want to do is just come up with the answers you think will please them, then get hired for a job you hate. It's kind of like dating - you're looking for the right match.

Good luck

Answer 5

I agree with the HR guy. In addition, don't forget to shake their hand and thank them for their time. Afterwards, once you are home, call and thank them for taking the time to meeting with you. That usually makes a big impression. And make sure you know a lot about the company and your duties...they WILL ask questions. Also, be prepared for any question to be asked...such as, "Tell me about a conflict you had with a co-worker and what you did to resolve it." Bring a tablet of paper with your questions, be sure to have some, and leave space for your answers. Write down anything important they tell you.

Answer 6

Hope this helps-
Be very clean, dress nicely and dont wear strong perfume.
Be prepared to answer questions like "Tell me about yourself"
and "Do you think you should get this job?". Be polite and stuff.

Answer 7

All of the things that one would normally be concerned with, you should be concerned with. I am sure that there are oodles of websites that deal specifically with this issue - perhaps begin with monster.com and go from there. No doubt you'll get all the help you can imagine. Good luck!
