Job Interview Questions: Do you have any advice for my first job interview (at a credit union)?

I just graduated from college and don't have a ton of job experience. I've been trying desperately to get a job for the last few months and have finally made it through to my first live interview. Does anyone have any tips or advice for this? I'm really nervous because of all the jobs I've applied for this is probably the one I want the MOST (best pay, benefits, career field of choice, etc.). I really don't want to blow it!

Stress And That New Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
first, know a little bit about the company. go online and find out what they do. a candidate who knows nothing about the company likely isn't going to get hired. preparation and having good questions to ask is key. it shows you've done your homework.

second, dress professionally. a nice top and a dressy pair of slacks or skirt is good. don't wear jeans, not to an interview.

third, a lot of companies are looking for long-term employees, not job hoppers. when they ask you about your future plans or what you see yourself doing some number of years down the road, they want to hear you want to stay and grow with that company. say it and mean it.

also, be sure to make good eye contact and speak clearly. answer questions with detail. no one word answers, but don't go on and on either. when appropriate, ask them questions before they ask you if you have any questions. in other words, be sure and confident in yourself. even if you are really nervous and feel like you are going to pee your pants, appear confident and like you mean business. and on that note, make sure you go to the bathroom before you arrive at the place of your interview. again, all in being prepared.

8 Worst Job Interview Screw - Ups to Avoid


  • wear nice clothes, and also make sure you know what a credit union actually is and its different than a bank. I had a interview there once and they asked me if i knew what the difference was between a bank and credit union and i had no clue, also be a little knowledgeable about the company itself, and read some practice interview questions

  • Don't be nervous, don't lie,say practically what/ how you can contribute if given the job.Answer it to the point, with humility,
    but also mind your self respect.
