Interview advice

<< < (2/6) > >>

Jake:
Take some advice from the film Trainspotting
Have a little dab of speed before you go in  :lol: :lol:
Better not Rob

Eye contact is always good and do some research about the company so you can ask some good questions.
Dress smart. A tuxedo is a bit over the top but a nice shirt (tucked in) with tidy trousers and smart shoes show's you care about your appearence which means you should care about your everyday conduct
 :D

Range Rover Blues:
What's the job then Rob? and who's it for.

Sharpshooter:
Dont Lie about things. They might catch you out.

Be yourself. A good Intrviewer can tell if your acting.

And best of luck.

Bouncy:
ok so the whole list is ;

clean pants, clean nails, tidy hair, clean hanky, go for a pee before the interview itself , check your handshake and if it is like a limp wet fish firm up and use a spray of antiperspirant on your palms! SMILE !
think before speaking
research
know your stuff
be keen
think of your strengths and weaknesses and how to use them to your advantage
how do you fit into the company
what are you looking for
have questions ready that make sense and take in notes if you want to (despite what others may say i like to see people with prepared notes as it means they are organised, methodical, understand things may get forgotten in a slightly tense situation and so prepare  not to fail)
think about why you wantthe job and do not be scared to say no if it doesn't feel right.

Also very good book called  "Answers to tough interview question" by susan Hodgson  ISBN number 978-0-273-1464-4 is a good place to look at.

Fingers crossed

Defender:
Step one: Reasearch the employer. Find out as much as possible about the employer & the job.
Step two: Match you skills, experience, achievements & qualities to the employers needs. When answering questions, use examples to illustrate your reply.
Step three: Practice talking about yourself. Anticipate some of the probable questions & work out your answers.
Step four: Present a positive image. The way you look & how you present yourself & how you say things has a huge impact on the outcome of the interview.

The interviewer will like people who listen, answer questions with examples, are brief in the right places, come prepared & appear confident.

I am job searching myself at the moment & am having to brush up on my skills with CV's, application forms & interview techniques. :)
