Question

i need some job interview tips. i tend to get very nervous. what should i say during an interview. what are the do's and don'ts. is an resume required for every interview? how about a letter of recommendations? what else should i bring.

Answer 1

Dress appropriately, and speak clearly with no street slang, look directly at the interviewer some questions you might be asked.
1. Why do you want to work here, and how did you find out about the opening
2. What would you say are your strong points?
3. What are your weaknesses, and what are you doing to improve them?
4. How do others see you?
5. Why would you be a better candidate, or be better than the others that we are interviewing.
6. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Always bring an updated copy of your resume, and if you have letters of recommendation, bring a copy of those to.
If I know what type of job you where interviewing for could give you a few more questions that might crop up. Good luck to you

Answer 2

I'm young to the working world, but have been on many job interviews myself. If the interview is for a pretty big position, the HR rep will most likely ask you what sets you apart from other applicants, what your goals in life are, why you think your a perfect fit for their company, what you can bring to the company that others can not. Don't overemphasis as if you are talking from a prepared script, just be true to yourself and be honest. It's ok if you move your body or hands, just don't do it too much during the interview. Be true to yourself, keep your chin up, and if your a person of faith, know that God is with you. With that all said, you'll do fine!

umm a resume isnt needed by all jobs, but definitely professional and makes you look good. you dont really need a letter of recommendation. they will tell you if they want one.

dont chew gum, dont wear anything inappropriate. look very presentable and professional. be organized, dont have your resume and papers all over the place. let them do alot of the talking.

they will ask things like...

what was the reason for leaving your last job
responsibilites that you had at previous jobs.
why you would be good for their company
what type of salary you are looking for (dont give them a number that is astronomical. ask what they are willing to pay and maybe negotiate)
they may ask if you have transportation that is reliable or where you live.
if you have any experience for what you are applying for.
what your desired schedule is
some positive things about your work or in general (punctual, trustworthy, hardworker, team worker, detail oriented, honest, creative, multi-tasker, etc)
some will ask if your looking for a long term position, to make sure that if they hire you, that you wont be leaving in a week.
they will talk to you about insurance and vacation and maybe some bonus stuff they offer
they may ask for people recommendations (they will call them probably)
they may ask programs or things you are good at that relate to the job)
they might ask how you will benefit their company

they wont ask you anything that you cant answer. dont sound phoney when you talk to them, sound confident. like you are almost telling them what you can do. make them feel like if they dont hire you, then they are missing out.. remember there are tons of other people that can apply for that job.. but the confident person usually gets it. they want someone with a head on their shoulders and someone that they dont need to babysit

Just stay calm. Don't be nervous. Speak positively and be tactful. The following are the list of most common questions being asked during job interview and its appropriate answers:

1. Can you tell me something about yourself that is not included in your resume?

- In answering question like this, it is advisable to say something about yourself that is related to the qualifications of the job you are applying for. Say for example, if it requires good communication skill, then you may say “I am into public speaking.” Or, if it requires leadership, the you may say “when I was in college, I was the president of our Student Body Organization.”

2. Why you choose to apply in our company not others?

- The best way to answers this question is to state the best positive adjective you may describe to the company you are applying for. It is, therefore, very important that you have solid background of that company. You may say “because your company is very progressive and stable...”

3. Why should I hire you not others?

- You may say “I don't want to compare myself with others because I believe I am unique not just unique but extraordinary. All I can say, I have (state the qualities that you possess)...”

Hello, Two interview questions that come to mind are: "What do you think is your greatest weakness?" and "What do you like least about your current (or most recent) job?" They may seem like ridiculous questions, but you have to answer them because being evasive could cost you a chance at landing a great career opportunity. Hope this article can help you!

They ask you about your objetives in their place and the ones of yourself, so be very sure of yourself when talking and look into their eyes, do not touch you hands everytime, this will make you look nervous as you really might be inside...go well dressed, so professional...talk properly about your aspirations...and $$$.
