best time to schdule an interview for a job?
94749
The best time of day is when you will be at your best.  If you're a morning person, get in there early (but not before the interviewer has had their coffee, they might be an evening person).

The best strategy is for you to probe deeper into the job and make sure that they understand that YOU understand what this job is all about.\n\nA common mistake is for candidates to answer immediately: "You should hire me because..." That's not a good answer. It doesn't show that you thought deeply about the job nor that you understand the underlying problems and challenges that are part of the job.\n\nBasically, if an employer asks you bluntly that question, it's possible that you haven't made a strong impression on him previously, or that your "campaign" so far has failed to convince him to hire you.\n\nIt's like I'm dating a girl for the 5th time, and we're in the bedroom, and she goes: "Why should I jump into bed with you?"\n\nMy point is that you should NOT wait until somebody asks you that question to answer it. The moment you saw the job opportunity, you should have started answering that question over and over again.\n\nFinally, here's a good trick: write on a piece of paper 50 good reasons why an employer should hire you. This is called brainstorming. You will eventually see the 2-5 best answers staring at you.\n\nGood luck!

Wear what you would wear to the job. Do not lie. Learn a little about the store before the interview and throw in a few facts if it fits into the conversation. Don't ask about time off and benefits.

Employers make up their mind in the first few minutes of a job interview. The rest of the time is to justify the decision.\nHowever, you must first get an interview. Does your resume say that you are looking for a specific job or is it vague and leaves the decision up to the employer to figure out what you want to do. An objective of finding an interesting job goes into the waste basket. An objective of finding a sales job where I can utilize my strong interpersonal skills gets kicked over to the sales dept. Are you only looking at ads or are you taking out the yellow pages and calling companies in your field and asking if you can fax over a resume and to who's attention. Only 10% of all jobs get advertised. Have you told everyone you know you are looking? 70% of people get their jobs through someone they know.

My interviews improved immeasurably after two things. The first was doing a mock interview and being filmed while doing so - watching it back was excruciating but gave me a huge amount of things to improve on. The second was practice, practice and more practice. You can guess what sort of questions they're going to ask you about (previous jobs, your background, why you want this job, what you do in your spare time etc). If the job has key competencies or skills listed you can guess what they will ask on those, too ("tell me about a time when you had to demonstrate leadership", etc). Come up with answers to those questions - not ones you have to learn word for word, just some key words or phrases you know you have to drop in. Have an opening sentence ready so you have more thinking time. And get friends to do practice interviews with you - it doesn't have to be formal, it could be 20 minutes over coffee or in a bar, but as long as they're asking new questions you will get used to thinking on your feet.\n\n\n\nOne trick I've used often, is simply to say "I'm sorry, I'm a bit nervous" if I stumble a bit or freeze. Always seems to break the chill a little bit, and sets everyone at ease. But then, I'm not applying for positions involving public speaking.\n\n\n\nDo all the homework that greycap suggests. Prepare as well as you can. Make sure you're rested, accentuate the fun part of having the interview (sic), etc.\n\nAnd then after having done all that say to yourself "I'll do my utmost to get the job, but not all is lost if I don't get it".\n\nThe reason is that there are factors outside of your control in doing an interview; there's a certain aspect of luck, of the match between the organisation, the interviewer and you.\nBut more importantly; this realisation will put you in a state of mind that enables doing well and being as self confident as you can.\n\n\n\nSmile. Lean back in the chair. stretch. You're at ease because you know our stuff.\n\nBefore the guy asks you a question, ask him one, about the business, but one me can't give a canned answer to. No, "How many offices do you have", more like "what problem are you trying to solve by hiring me" -- then smile "or whomever you do hire" -- now bigger smile, like you both know he's going to hire you.\n\nLet him give this answer, which will be in great detail. Nod appropriately. When he finishes, nod slowly, like you're absorbing what he had to say. Pick from what he wants your best qualities, incline you head to one side (it looks humble , and like you're thinking), smile, and explain your strengths that fit what he wants.\n\nThen apologize for going on at length, and say "but I know you have a lot of questions for me". Then the "normal" interview starts, but you've taken charge in a very diplomatic way.\n\n\n\nUse an overall interview checklist to organize yourself for each interview. If you don't forget anything, you won't be stressed walking in. That's half the battle.\n\nPractice your two minute drill, preferably in front of a mirror. You also need a prepared "two minute verbal summary" [PDF file linked] of yourself in mind for every interview. Use it to reply to questions about why you are looking for the job, what you've done in the past that is related experience, what your goals are, etc. If you have good statements that you've written and believe to be true about yourself, you can deliver them with confidence, and by rehearsing them, keep them at the ready in your mind. If you don't already have a practiced 2 minute summary, you should write and edit one immediately, and aim to practice it for at least 20 repetitions a day, until you can deliver it perfectly, word for word as you've written it, naturally. Most people decide that you are confident or nervous in the first two minutes afte

Dress for success, dress nicely. Don't curse during the interview, smile, look up information on the company that is interviewing you. A question that they may ask you is why you want to be emplyed there, and what you know about their company. If you are a girl, don't wear big earings, or wear too much perfume because this may take their attention away from you. Just give your honest anwer to the questions that they ask you. Hope this helps and good luck with the interview!!! :0)

I'm one of those people who have a nack for interviews and landing jobs.\n\nThe best advice i can give you is, if you are felling confatable with the intervierwer you will do well.\n\nSo the first thing i try to do (depending on the type of interview) is strike up a social conversation first, this will allow you to feel less threatened and conduct a better interview.\n\nIf this is not possible (formal interview) then just try relax and be your self, make sure you do resurch about the job you are going after and tell them what they want to hear befor they ask it.\n\nJust remeber there only a person and its not the end of the world if you dont get the job.  Also if you dont get it, it provides you with the experience to have better luck next time:)

I think it is important to have good eye contact.  I would prefer that the person doesn't take notes and ask questions pertaining to the topic at hand not something covered 15 minutes ago.  If you come across something you don't understand ask immediately so you aren't thinking about a topic that was covered 10 minutes ago and missing all the new information.  I also think it is important to be yourself because you really don't know what the company is looking for regarding your personality and if you try to guess you will end up in a company that is not conducive to your way of life. I would do plenty of research.  Many of the individuals that interview don't know everything about the company and if you teach them something without making them feel stupid you are ahead of everyone else.

Stay calm. Being nervous won't help. \n\nLay out your outfit tonight. Be sure you have any jewelry (not too much of course) on hand so you won't have to scramble. Select the makeup you want to wear with your outfit, be sure you have enough, etc. etc.\n\nResearch the company. Look up the history and who's who in the company. Do you know the name of the person who will interview you? See if you can find a bio online. It's now customary to show a potential candidate around the office to see how other people react to him/her. That means you should be nice to everyone you see there.\n\nBe sure you know how to get there. Google or Yahoo maps are really helpful, although if you're driving you might want to add more time due to traffic, weather conditions, etc.\n\nGoogle some interview questions that you think might come up. Why are you a good fit for the company? What makes you different from other candidates? What accomplishments do you have that can benefit the company? Do you work well with a team and individually? Have a friend practice with you.\n\nBe ready to sell yourself (without being overbearing). Be sure to smile and be polite. Be sure to thank your interviewer and to write a thank you note via email or snail mail. \n\nGood luck!

You have to sleep well otherwise you will look awfull. Eat your breafkast or lunch (dependes on the time of your interview). Prepare your clothes, shoes, everything..like you want to go to a party. You have to reach there on time. Preparing for an interview is different with preparing a written test. But there's some answer that you can prepare, e.g, prepare the answer of this question "Tell me your positive and negative side" ; "Have you ever received any recognition during your study or work.." : "What if you have to work after the hours" ; "How if we rotate you to another position or country or city". Sometimes..they ask you that kind of question.\n\nRemember, during the interview, the interviewer would like to know better of your personality, how you cooperate with stress, can you cooperate with your colleague. So..be yourself, don't over confidence, wearing your best suit which is suitable with the position that you apply, listen carefully and don't say to much by saying something so theoriticall. Be yourself.\n\nHope you pass the interview

I would hope for the job interview to be laid back, and no so intense! I'm not sure i can answer your survey question as i haven't really ever worked before, but you might want to reword your question as hen you say survey people think they just need to chose wither a, b, c, d.

Keep your hopes up and interview good.  Know in the back of your mind that you will get this job, just don't act too arrogant.  Make sure they like you and even if you don't get this job apply for others because the best way to learn how to be interviewed is through practice.
