10 Easy Ways to Be Much More Confident in Job Interviews

• not if you want to be hired.
  
  well, maybe if it's a part-time position with a high turnover anyways


• you should.
  
  GO BEARS! ;P


• You should tell. But in most cases it may also mean you won't get hired.


• Sure enough you can, but be prepared that it may hamper your chances of gaining employment. Pursuing temporary employment should make it easier to be transparent about your availability.


• No! If they ask how long you plan to stay, don't give a specific answer. Say something like, "I plan on staying for long." or "As long as we both feel I'm doing a good job."


• If you only want to work for a few months why not just register with a temp agency? No employer is going to hire you for 6 months for a permanent position.


• No! Then they won't hire you. Tell them you want a have a long career, fulfilling career there.
