Job Interview Questions: Any Tips For A First Time Job Interview?

Ok, so I have my very Job Interview on April 2nd. Since this is my very first job interview, I'm looking for any tips that I might need to know. So, do you guys have any?

I'm applying to work at a Summer Camp. Also what are some questions that employers usually ask?

How to Answer Job Interview Questions - How to Impress Your Potential Employer


  • I've worked at summer camps before, and often you're going to have to deal with problems between kids. Little stuff like jealousy and silly arguments. So the employer is going to ask you if you've ever been in a position where you've had to deal with conflict. What was the situation and how did you deal with it/ make it better? Have you ever been involved in any arguments between yourself and another colleague? How did you fix that? They're going to ask you about your leadership capabilities...if you're a student you can talk about clubs you've been in or other activities where you've had leadership experience. If you haven't, you can talk about how you're eager to gain this type of experience, and what kind of qualities you think you have that would make you a good leader. Maybe you listen well to other people, or you're patient, etc. They're going to give you hypothetical events..like say you heard how another colleague dealed with a situation and you didn't think it was right. Would you get involved yourself or report it to the supervisor? (Always say you'll report anything you're unsure about to the supervisor). Why do you want to work here, what qualities do you think you have that seperates you from other candidates?

    If you don't know how to answer a specific question, take your time to think it through. Don't be nervous. Make sure you have eyecontact. Try to keep 'umm' or 'like' to a minimum. You have to sound confident. Good luck!

  • Darth, Show up 5-10 minutes before your interview, dress casual but look nice, be friendly, don't be too wordy when you reply to the interviewer's questions, LISTEN to the interviewers, try to be relaxed & not nervous, Act as though you're really interested in the job, & during the interview, always have eye contact with them. DO NOT BE LATE!!! Good luck! :<)

  • Always research the company before you go, they may ask you what you know about them. Also shows you are interested. Always make eye Contact and remember your body language!
