    Job Interview Motivation - Five Secrets To Getting Jazzed About The Interview


    • Hello,

      Dress neatly and conservatively. You want to project the best possible image of yourself, so plan and prepare a neat, businesslike outfit. You can't go wrong with a business suit. Even if the company has explicitly stated that it's a “business casual” workplace, stick with the suit. An interview is not the time to express your unique fashion sense; it's the time to show you know when it's time to follow the rules and traditions of business.

      I hope this helps. Good luck on your interview! :-)

    Job Interview Questions: At a job interview, can you ask how many other applicants they are interviewing?

    Is it considered rude, or prying to ask this? It would be really helpful to know your chances, and how competitive that sort of job was, but I'm not sure if it's good interview etiquette.

    You absolutely can ask that and should ask that. That is a normal question to ask in any interview.

    Job Interview Questions: Ho do you write a thank you letter after the job interview the one that's email?

    I mean when you type the thank you letter and email it after the job interview. Before you email it, what do you put in the subject line. Last time I put Follow Up: My name. I want to know if there's a certain way that I'm suppose to put in the subject line. Like for example maybe just my name or Thank You Letter, or Follow Up? So what am I suppose to type in the subject line?

    Job Interviews: Effective Question And Answer Strategies



    Recommended Answer:
    There are several ways you can handle this. First things first though, if you have a silly email address, consider setting up an email account with a more professional looking address. We have had them come in here that were something like bigbooty69@whatever.com. In the subject line you can put your name or "Interview 4/15/2009", or the position you are applying for "Admin Position". In the body make is short, respectful and to the point. Dear Mr. Blah, thank you so much for taking the time out to interview me yesterday. I really enjoyed learning more about "**company name***" . You can insert a small blurb here about something you learned about the company if appropriate. I really feel like I would be a great fit for the position of **job title** and hope to be hearing from you soon. Please feel free to contact me for any additional information. Sincerely, Your Name

    Good Luck!

    How to Job Interview in Today's Job Market


    • In the subject line I would write
      Interview followed by the interview date.
      Your name appears in your email address, if it doesn't then write the following in the subject line

      Leslie Taylor, Interview 17th November 2009. (Obviously I have invented the name so put yours there.

    • You either go "Just a thank you note" or "thank you"

    Job Interview Questions: First Job interview in over a YEAR. I'm freaking out, I need help/advice/tips?

    I have my first job interview in over a year. I'm beyond nervous because I REALLY want this job, but DOZENS of people have applied for it.

    I'm a good worker but I'm not very good at interviews. How can I ace this? And a few questions.

    When an interviewer says "So tell me about yourself" <-- What do they really want to know.

    What trick questions should I be prepared for? And how do I answer them?

    Anything that they might throw at me that I should be ready for?

    How do I make a good impression? Ive had interviews before for jobs I had experience for but I never got a call back so I must be doing something wrong.

    Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Answers to Job Interview Questions - How to Deal With Tough Interview Questions



    Recommended Answer:
    I've interviewed lots of people for jobs, so here's some advice:

    People make snap judgments about others on the way they look, and it is often said that interviewers form an opinion of someone in the first three seconds of seeing them.
    Have freshly washed and cut hair, clean pressed clothes etc. Have a pen and paper with you - they might ask you to write something down. Take a calculator and electronic spell checker to fill out any forms.

    DO NOT BE SEXY - A big no-no! Unless you want to be a poll dancer.

    SMILE - people like friendly people. Be polite and don't laugh or try and make jokes. They may backfire. Do not rush what you say and never swear or say anything personal or political. Do not tell people about your unhappy childhood, and yes, people do all of the things I have mentioned here.
    Have a good handshake. Practice with friends if you're not sure.
    Do some research on the company and the job in question. You can ask for a job description in advance. Use knowledge to impress: 'I know you operate in three countries overseas, and my experience in this area would help your oganisation do XXX'. Also, one common question is 'What do you know about our company?'. Also 'What do you think this job entails?'. Have answers to these questions.

    Take your own CV with you. You might be asked about dates or duties, and you can refer to it. Plus, sometimes someone else joins the interview and it always looks organised if you can hand out another copy of your CV on the spot.

    ANSWER THE QUESTION, and do not go off on any odd stories. Keep it brief and straightforward. .

    Many interviewers will look at your CV and pick out bits that interest them with regard to the job in question, so do the same yourself. Ask yourself how each job you have held might help you in the one you want. Look at any weak spots, like strange gaps or short jobs, and have answers ready.
    You need to show you act with purpose and have a life plan. People may ask you what you want to accomplish in your career, or where do you see yourself in five years from now and so on.
    People will look to see if you can achieve a result, so have examples of how you 'increased sales by 30% or similar to hand.

    Other questions are:
    What do you think you can bring to this organisation?
    What do you think you can bring to this job? What do you think this job involves?
    Why do you want this job? (Don't say because I want any job, say something about the company being great and it would fit in with your career path or similar)
    What do you do in your spare time? (Say sports, reading (have a book in mind) and going out to dinner in interesting restaurants. Do NOT say you like anything remotely odd - there's no upside to that and that's all the interviewer will remember afterwards.)
    What did you enjoy most about your previous jobs? (Say setting goals and achieving targets or something pro-job. Make it personal because you don't want to look too obvious!)
    The most popular 'trick' question is 'What did you do when you failed in a task?' Don't say 'I have never failed, you have to say I learned from my mistakes and implemented recommendations to ensure X never happened again. Some mean people will also ask you to describe what happened.
    Another 'trick' question is 'What are your personal weaknesses?' Don't say 'I don't have any' it won't go down well. The stock answer to that one is 'I work too hard at my job and I'm a perfectionist'. (everyone says the same thing!)
    Keep in mind any great achievements you have and see if you can mention them in your answers without just randomly bringing them in as a list. If you have an olympic gold or have gone around the world in a sail boat definately get it in somehow.

    Basically, you have to look at yourself objectively, and look at that organisation and that job and just see how you can make yourself fit in to their needs.

    Always remember that the interview doesn't stop until you are out of view of the building.

    It is important to smile at the end of the interview and know that the person is still forming an opinion of you. Have some ideas of what to talk about in the lift back down to the front door. It could be about your journey, the weather or the fact that you are off to meet an old friend. Strangely people use this period to get a feel for how you would be as a colleague. Sometimes you can look out of the window and see an interviewee taking his jacket off and being a slob as he leaves, and that puts you off him. Remember this, get away from the interviewer before you relax.

    Get a friend to give you a test interview for some experience.

    Hope this helps! Good luck!

    If they don't call you back don't take it to heart - there are always lots of good people for most jobs, and interviewers select who they like often for simple reasons (they just liked X better) so it is not personal or saying that you're not good or couldn't do the job.

      Job Interview Questions: Elbow length black cardigan to job interview? What else to wear?

      Hi everyone. I'm wondering what would look good for a job interview. I am interviewing for a few different internships this week and am wondering what is appropriate to wear. I have black dress shoes, a black cardigan, black pants, and a boxy-patterned blue/white/black blouse underneath. Does this sound good? Is elbow length appropriate? Will I look like I'm going to a funeral or something (I looked in the mirror and seem awfully black, but maybe it's just me being paranoid). Thanks for the help.

      Five Powerful Body Language Tips to Ace Your Next Job Interview



      Recommended Answer:
      It sounds good to me, as long as it's appropriate for the industry for which you seek an internship. (If you were wanting an internship in, say, law or banking or another "suit" industry, you would probably want to try to upgrade to an actual suit if you're a college student.)

      If you wanted to mix things up because of the overwhelming amount of black, you could probably switch the pants to a gray. (I guess it depends on what the blouse looks like, though) or pick a top underneath that doesn't have black (like blue, cream or plain white) But, honestly, you sound good to go.

      Just make sure that the sweater and the pants are close to the same color black--if one is obviously more faded, it'll look weird.

      • Black in my opinion is very professional looking. I love wearing black slacks to work. It just looks so tailored. I think it sounds like a good outfit to wear to an interview.

      Job Interview Skills - What You Must Have to Land the Job



      Recommended Answer:
      How about monster.com or any of those job website where your post your resume?

      I interview people and here is some advice that should seem obvious but to many job seekers it is not.

      Make sure you are properly presentable. If you are interviewing for a suit and tie type job then look the part. Make sure from top to bottom it is correct. If you can't handle the basics of presenting yourself then do you think I'll be impressed with your enthusiasm, education and experience? Those things don't shine as well if your fingernails are dirty or need to be clipped and your shoes need a shine. Trust me, how you look matters.

      Job Interview Advice - Dos and Don'ts For Your Big Day


      • Anyway, what you need is to do is some hard work. I would look on Monster.com, craigs list, etc for a job.

        1) Look at the job information:
        Cover Letter: Often jobs will list "personality" traits they are looking for. These are called buzz words. When you write your cover letter, use some of these buzz words.

        EXAMPLES
        They want Somebody how has lots of energy, you put Energetic.
        They want somebody creative, you put innovative.

        The list can go on.

        2) On the website. while doing your cover letter, go to the website of the people who are hiring. Find out who to address the letter to, and get the address. Also print off a copy of the application.RESUME
        Instead of just applying for the job with the same tired old resume format as everyone else, I would do a paper copy. Print it on QUALITY resume paper (that can be found at Office Max). Also print the cover letter on that paper. Also, I suggest getting a box of matching "resume" folders. They will look sharp and give you a nice touch.

        Other Stuff:
        Include in the "resume" folder your resume, cover letter, full application. Also, some jobs require transcripts and other proof to be hired. I would send a copy of those items as well.

        This will give you an advantage over the other aplicants
