Job Interview Preparation - How to Create That Powerful First Impression
Recommended Answer:
not only should you be dressing nice, you should be dressing modestly as well. so (unless your wearing pants), your skirt should be knee length, and your top needs to cover your boobs appropriately.
arrive no more than fifteen minutes early. do NOT arrive late, or right on the dot. always be 15 minutes early, but no earlier or it starts looking like you dont respect the interviewers time
shake hands firmly. dont sit down until you have been asked to sit down, or until the person interviewing you sits down.
do not say like, unless it is a valid part of the sentence. so dont be all valley girl, and say stuff like "and he was like, and i was like". thats just bad. dont say um either, so now "um...well this one time".
keep your answers short, but make sure you answer the question completely.
admit to your weaknesses, but then state how you are trying to work on or fix them. for example, if you procrastinate, own up to it. say "i procrastinate, but i am working on keeping lists and planners of tasks that need to be completed in order to help get them done on time" or whatever fits your situation
"i work too hard"... DO NOT USE THAT PHRASE! seriously, it is the oldest line in the book.
do a little bit of research. they WILL ask you why you want the job. dont say because you want money, spin it a little so you say something like "i see it as a good chance to learn a new skill, and im always willing to learn"
A Guide to the Most Evil Job Interview Questions
- Be on your best behavior. Maintain eye contact and keep smiling. Keep your attention, and the conversation, on the topic: You want this job. Answer all the questions promptly and honestly.
It would be nice if you can crack a joke or two. That will help the interviewer remember you when he is deciding amongst the interviewees.
Good luck! - answer questions honestly, don't offer anything other than what is asked for
