Answer 2

Well this means they like you so you got the second go at it.
Here is your time to show how you will fit in the team so you need to be prepared for some behaviourial questions and have your responses backed up by some facts

Tell me a time when so and so happened what did you do?

Your response should tell them a time when
Do not give vague answers . Get some practice but try not to be too nervous.

Research some more of the company and know yourself.

You will be nervous there are no two ways about this.

Make sure you have some questions to ask
Like

When would I know if I am on track with the companies expectation of me?
Ask questions like what are the goals for this position in the next three mos. six month etc.

If you can get an Employment Coach
to help you this would be ideal. Get yourself video taped and see how you respond . Good Luck

Answer 3

Normally the 2nd interview is about team fit. The 1st interview should establish that you can do the job and that you're a good candidate. The 2nd is about meeting the people you will actually be working with and seeing how you would get on.

In my experience, these go wrong for 2 reasons...

1 - Nerves get the better of you, you're not yourself, they sense it and worry about what you are really like. Nerves can also lead to you saying things you wouldn't normally, giggling, fidgeting, all kinds of little things that would put a manager off. Just remember to be yourself, take deep breaths and think about you answers before you speak. Smile, but friendly, but not giddy.

2 - You're not as prepared as you were for the 1st interview. Think about what you already know about them and where the role you want fits into it. Show that you have thought commercially about what you could bring to them and ask questions which highlight your interest in the company.

But always remember, you are interviewing them too, so be curious and interested and try to make it like a natural conversation as much as is possible. Also, don't be afraid to ask for feedback if you are rejected, it will help you next time.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Preparation.

Ask them questions about the job that show you are interested.

These questions should be something beyond mere benefit-type questions.

They should be along the lines of:
"What will I learn in this job?"
"What kinds of professional development do you encourage and support?"
etc.

These questions are the kinds of questions that show you are thinking about something beyond money, and are looking to develop yourself in the future.

The other part of demonstration of preparation is showing that you know something about the company in general.

If it is a big company, read the business press, or the annual financial statements. That can tell you a lot about the culture or focus of the company.

Just a couple of tips from my recent successful job hunting stint.

Answer 5

Stay positive, be yourself, try to keep the nerves under control, ask the right questions regarding what's in it for you without getting too pushy.
