Job Interviews - Six Tips to Prepare You



Recommended Answer:
be yourself and sale yourself at what your good at (don't lie).

Job Interview Advice Everyone Can Use


  • firm handshake
    dress conservatively and well
    look the interviewer in the eye
    know a little something about the place you would be working at
    When the interviewer starts talking agree with what the interviewer has to say. If they talk about someone who didn't make it before you because they were late for work often agree with them and say something like, "That is completely unexcusable because that sort of behavior makes work difficult for everyone on the team who was counting on that person to at least make the minimal effort of showing up on time. I can't believe that someone would actually do that."
    Be very polite and smile
    Listen as well as talk
    Think about the kind of person who they would want for that job and speak in a way that would have you come across as such.
    Don't cross your arms or have such other body language that would be off putting like playing with hair or a button
    Speak the part, a mechanic's interview is different from a medical services customer service rep.
    Develop a believable English accent

  • 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, most 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.

    third, 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're 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
