A Job-Hunter's Guide to Handling Any Job Interview Question and to Answer Naturally & Professionally



Recommended Answer:
Are you still in college? If so, go to your career center and see if they have a mock interview. If not, try looking into a mirror and try to sell yourself to yourself. The only way to do well in an interview is to practice..practice..practice. Worst comes to worst..you may not be able to pull of the first job but you will at least have that experience to improve on. Also, is your GPA pretty good? I hate that they take that into account because mine is absolutely horrible but that could be a way out. Point is you want that job so you need to just be truthful to yourself and the recruiter. Two main baselines to consider: why do you want the position you are interviewing for and how can you help that organization, company..etc.

Types of Job Interview Questions


  • I'll tell you the secrets to getting the dream jobs. Start interviewing for everything now. It's your new part-time unpaid job. Or think of it as a supplemental class with very minimal tuition.

    Interview for jobs you aren't qualified for. Interview for jobs you have no chance of getting. Interview for everything. Why? Because you need to learn to be completely at ease. A job interview is where a company is looking to buy talent. If you're nervous, you probably have something to hide. They'll pass. If you go to a hundred interviews, you're going to learn how to do them, and you'll probably end up with offers to some of those jobs you're totally unqualified for.

    Interviewing is a learned skill. The only way to learn it is by doing it. Forget the mock interviews. Go do real ones. Soon, you'll be completely at ease and not at all nervous, because you'll know exactly what's going on, and have total confidence.

    Good luck.

  • You cant increase the confidence immediately because "Rome was not built in a day". REmember one thing. You are diffident now. Are you thinking that you can pass the interview? No. Many persons fail in interview because they pose.
    1)So dont pose in interview.
    2)Think that the interviewers are your friend in past
    3)Dont make artificial smile.
    4) while you are approaching them in place of them you should see your best friend and smile to them like how you are meeting your friend after a long delay.You also pretend that you are happy to meet them.
    Then they will be more friendly to you.

  • Hello friend. Its very natural to feel nervous, so forgive yourself this basic human folly.
    Now...how much confident you FEEL, is not important, how much you are able to SHOW is.
    Secondly, go with the assumption that you are not going to get the job....that will take away all FEAR from your mind.
    Start with a pleasant smile.
    Keep your back straight.
    Don't fiddle with your hands, keep them straight, palms down on your news. Be alert and attentive to questions.
    Lastly, if that will help, pretend to be someone else, a cousin/sibling/parent/friend who is witty and confident.
    ALL THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • When you go to an interview not only are you trying to sell yourself to the company but they are also trying to sell themselves to you. WTG on the degree! You can do it.
