I have a job interview tomorrow. Any advice?

Question

I applied for a job as Registration Representative at a nearby hospital and they called me back! Crazy, right? Any advice on how to make the interview go as smoothly as possible?

I'll add details tomorrow at around 1pm and let you guys know how it went. Thanks everybody for all your help! =D

So, I guess the interview went okay. I was really nervous though and I could feel my face getting hot the whole time. I'm sure they thought I was a complete idiot. (I was interviewed by 2 fairly old ladies. No pressure, right. It's not like I was put on the spot or anything. Jesus.) Anyways, I can do everything thats required of the job. They said that they're interviewing a bunch of people this week and they're looking for a 2 people to hire so....they're going to call me next week and tell me the verdict. I can't wait! I hope I get the job!

Answer 1

Have confidence in yourself. If you show confidence your interviewer will respect that. Make eye contact. Dress appropriately. Smile. Be enthusiastic, but not too much. Eat a good breakfast. Get good sleep. Believe that you are the only one for the job. If you got an interview that means they are interested in you, that's the first step. Now you just have to go in and prove that you can think on your feet. Good luck, you'll do fine.

Answer 2

1. Dress Professionally

2. When you first meet the interviewer, find something to compliment them on, and be sincere. If you can't find anything, compliment their office, or a picture on the wall, or anything. But don't lie, if you compliment someone, make sure you mean it.

3. Smile when you first shake hands with the interviewer

4. Smile after you shake hands when the interview is done

5. Laugh at any little jokes they may crack

6. If you have a good sense of humor, you can use a little humor yourself

7. Pay attention

8. Nod every once in a while when you agree

9. Keep good eye contact

10. Vocally agree every once in a while "mmmhmm"

11. Make sure you smell good

12. Be confident, the person giving you an interview is not a god. So ease up a little bit. The more comfortable you are, the more comfortable they will feel about you.

Answer 3

I interview people for a living and the way people dress, body piercing, tattoos and just not bathing and filthy hair is no way to show up for an interview. Yes about 80% of the people show up in raged out clothes, pants at the knees. Rings in the nose, lips and tongue.

Dress nice, speak well and answer only the question asked. Be confident that you can do the job. But don't be afraid to ask questions. Also don't focus on the pay, but still asked the question you need to about pay.

Best of luck.

Answer 4

You're probably more nervous than you need to be.
Make sure you get there early.
Look professional.
Have a copy of your resume ready.
Think of things they might ask so you'll be prepared.
Also think of questions you might want to know.
You know they always say " Do you have any questions?
It shows that you are really interested in the position if you ask something.
Good Luck! Hope you get the job!

Answer 5

Dress nice, be 15 min. early, put your hair up (optional), smile but not too much, don't lie, no gum chewing, if the interviewer offers a hand shake make sure yours is tight and firm, for good luck don't wear deodorant.


Good luck ;)

Answer 6

Yeah heres some fantastic advice, take it from my experience, to put it really short dont get too nervous and fart

Answer 7

Chew gum before you go. Not only does it help your breath but it helps increase brain activity so you have better answers. Make sure you spit it out.

Answer 8

Cleavage

Answer 9

Make sure you are calm, confident, and hydrated. Trust me, it's hard to talk with a dry mouth. Also try to be honest and nice. (It doesn't hurt if you are polite, either.)

Answer 10

Have a beer before to relax you and an altoids right before to get the alcohol off your breath.
