5 Helpful Rules to Successful Job Interviewing

Recommended Answer:
Just be focused and listen to the question carefully and take some time to think about your answer. Some common interview questions are "why should we hire you" and "tell me about yourself"... answer professionally, don't just babble everything about your life. When they ask you to tell them a little about yourself, Say your name then what school you go to, what major your in and be all excited and happy. Show the company that you are energenic and excited even though they may pull a straight face with you. But they're only doing this so they could understand and listen to what you say.
When they ask why they should Hire you, think about it first then answer. Perhaps say that you're motivated and always focused on what you do, or even make it up and say that "I believe you have great customer service and it's something I would love to be a part of"

• Do your research on the company, have your gaps in employment covered or be ready to articulate your education and other experiences which qualify yo for the job. Always be diplomatic about your prior employer, if you have one. Ask questions to show you are interested in the company/agency and what your duties might be. Don't ask about fringe benefits unless the interviewer(s) bring it up. Be poised and dress appropriately.


• Vivi is right on this one.One of the biggest mistakes i see in interviews,is where the applicant "runs down" or complains,of former employers.No matter what you thought of them,or how things went,always be positive of your past.Don't be afraid to ask them questions,as they do you.Ask things like,"What do you like about working here","What are your goals,with the company","How long have you been here and how long did it take you,to get where you are today".Don't try to upstage the interviewer,but show that you are passionate to stick around and do anything it takes,to secure your future and the companies.Show that you are an asset,rather than a burden.


• Practice what your responses will be, with either your friend or by recording your responses and playing them.
