Job Interview Questions: How to prepare for a job interview as a phonathon worker at my university?

I have a job interview coming up on Monday for a job as a phonathon worker at my university. If hired I'd be calling alumni to update them on whats going on with the university and to try to get them to keep donating to us.

What questions should I expect to be asked?

What else should I do to prepare for the interview?

Job Interview Follow Up - Five Simple Steps to Success

Recommended Answer:
Preparation is the key to Interview success. The more you have found out regarding the University and the job the better.
Statistics suggest that around eight candidates get chosen to attend an Interview and of those eight, only 12% prepare thoroughly. On that basis 8% of 12 is slightly less that one person in eight will have done their homework. Make sure that person is you and you wont go far wrong.
Obviously you will need an excellent telephone technique and they may even get you to make a dummy call to check you out.
The nain questions will probably be as follows.

Did you experience any difficulties in finding us?
Why do you want to work here?
What is your main reason for selecting this type of work.
What do you know about the University
What information do you have regarding the Alumni
Who is our main Sponsor.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years.
What are your strengths
What are your weeknesses
If you were offered the position when could you start

Do you have any questions that you would like to ask us?When you are asked a question do not give closed answers - in other words do not answer with a plain "Yes" or "No"
Try to enlarge on your replies and add a little infornation. As an example if you were asked
"Did you experience any problems finding the University Visitors Car Park?"

(incidently the preliminary questions are designed to ease you in and make you feel comfortable)

Instead of answering "No"
You should say something like
No! I came along last Friday to check my Travel time and found the Car Park quite easy to find"

This answer will always indicate that you made preparations - they like that and there is a good chance you will be the only one who did bother.

So, there you have it. Oh and one more thing
Based on the fact that you have been selected for Interview indicates that you were selected on the merit of your application and are a likely candidate for the position.
If you are selected for Interview and you have prepared thoroughly then the Job should be your for the taking.
Under no circumstances mention either salaries or holidays - this is s no go area,.

Good luck and I hope you are successful
