Job interview
beast5680:
the job i have now (been in for just over a week) had 2 interviews by 2 different people but they were identical, same style of interview,same questions etc
i had to explain my entire career from when i left school , what experience i had , how i thought i would fit in etc etc then they asked me questions on my family, mum and dad and their jobs, brother and his job, did i know people working for competitors etc :? but i got the job :D

I have also interviewed lots of people in the past and everyone is different.
I look for the following:
Good first impression, dress smart and be polite.
Research the company to show interest and you are willing to learn
Be yourself
Be honest
The interviewer if any good will get the information they require from you by asking you the right questions
Think about the obvious questions:
Why do you want to work for this company
Why do you want to leave your current company
What can you offer to this company
What was your biggest achievment at you last company
Remember you are checking them out as much as they are checking you out
Try not to show too many nerves
Good Luck

Excellent advice....
Only thing I'd add is if they ask you to...
"Tell me about a time when..."
You need to make sure that you call on the experiences you have had to give an example. i.e. "When I worked at... we had this situation... I did this... and this happened".
The number of delegates I have had who start by saying... "What I would do is..."
The purpose of the question is to ensure that you have relevant experience so make sure you provide it.
Good luck... post again with how you got on.
