Job Interview Questions: Any tips for a job interview?

i'm going to my first job interview today and am kind of nervous. If you have any tips on what to do that would be great :)

Preparing For the Perfect Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Don't be too nervous, but if you do have some butterflies, it is natural and you can use them to your advantage

First, realize that you are going in to talk to another human being. You're not going to try to learn how to talk to an animal or try to squeeze any emotion out of a robot

Second, know that you are interviewing them just as much as they are interviewing you. You are actually more in charge than they are. It is your choice to interview with them and your decision to accept the job when they offer it to you

Third, be yourself. Don't try to over-extend your experience or make promises you can't keep. Be sure to let them know of any related experience, even if that includes any classes or other training. Good grades or special projects you've earned or participated in can give a potential employer insight to your values and can show them that you have the intelligence to learn anything the job might require.

Be confident. Smile. Give a male interviewer a firm handshake and a female interviewer a less-firm handshake. Ensure your resume is perfect and pristine. Take something to write with and write on and take notes. Ask questions and be sure to thank everyone in the room and, if it hasn't been divulged to you, what the next steps are.

Good luck!

Telephone Job Interviews - What You Should Know


  • If the company has a website read through every page and familiarize yourself with their mission and the services/products they offer. Bring up something you learned from the website during the interview, so the interviewer will know you did your homework.

    For example: "I noticed on your website that you offer an employee advancement program. Could you tell me more about that." Pick something that interests you, and ask a question about it,

  • Know why you want the job and be prepared to tell them that, Know your positives and your negatives, Dress nice, be excited about it, be yourself and I'm sure you'll do fine! Good luck!

  • When you're talking, be sure to look the interviewer in the eye, that way they'll know you're honest. (If you get freaked out by that, try looking in between their eyes. They won't know the difference.)

  • Be confident Clear and concise, Dress sharp and speak well. let them know they need you to help they're business grow.
