Have good answers prepared and rehearsed to the following questions:\n\nWhy do you want to work here?\nWhat do you know about this company?\nWhere do you see yourself in two years?\nWhat is your greatest strength?\nWhat is your greatest weakness?\n\nThe first question is the one most people fumble...

Here are some quick tips that should help you:\n\nFirst, you will probably be asked this question: "Why don't you tell me about yourself". Your best answer to this question is always: "I'd be happy to. I have a broad range of experiences, which particular areas of my background are most important to you"?  This answer alone will help you stand out.\n\nNext, I'll share an interview secret that will make you stand out from everyone else. Anytime you answer a question, always do these TWO things. First, use an example from your past to illustrate your answer. For example, if the question is: "What is the first thing you do when you tackle a marketing problem?" Answer by sharing a story from your past that addresses the issue. Its easy. For example: "I've learned to spend time thinking about the issue from the client's perspective. When I was in college, I faced a difficult challenge of promoting our dorm party to the campus...and I'm certain that's why it was so well attended". Second, always finish you answer by stating plainly that your skills will help the company. For example: My ability to think about marketing from the client's perspective will allow me to help (the company your interviewing with) increase its marketshare. So, don't forget the TWO things to do when answering a question: Tell a story from your past that proves you have the abilities - and state plainly that those skills will help the company.\n\nAnd the very last tip is one that very few people do. But, do this and you probably land the job. At the very end of the interview simply say: "I like this company, and the market. After talking with you, I'm even more excited about this position. Do you see any reason why I wouldn't be the right choice for this position?". What ever he/she says - address it and ASK FOR THE JOB.\n\nGood luck and be well.

I just had an interview today, and it wasn't for a federal job, but I've been in a lot of interviews, and there are just some questions that keep popping up in one form or another.  I'll try to remember as many as I can:\n\nWhy do you want to work here?\n\nWhat in your experience qualifies you to work here?\n\nWhat are your strengths/weaknesses?\n\nWhat would old supervisors and coworkers say about you?(positive and negative)\n\nWhat have you done to show you can work outside of the box?  \n\nTell us about a time when you have solved a problem/conflict with coworker?\n\nWhat do you do to create a good work environment?\n\nWhat do you do in stressful situations/deadlines?\n\nOther than that, the questions will probably be job specific.  This particular interview asked me about my communication and mentoring skills.  \n\nAnyway, good luck.  Dress a half step up from what you would normally expect to wear at this job.  Take a few deep breaths.  Good luck.  I hope you get it.

#1 show up about 15 minutes early...  too early appears desperate, late is unacceptable period!!!  Dress neat even if it isn't your style.  Cover up tattoos and piercings, as a lot of adults don't understand/appreciate them.  Act the way you think the interviewer would want you to be.  But also try to be yourself and act calm through it.  Good luck and congratulations because i am sure you will get the job!!!!

One of the more tricky ones is "Tell me some of your weaknesses."\nSome folks tend to ramble on and reveal too much that shoots them down.  The best way is to turn this into a strength.  For example...\n"I guess my biggest area that I need to improve on is my drive to succeed.  I am very hard on myself when I don't live up to my own high expectations and I just need to understand that I'm not always going to be able to hit a homerun."\n\nYou turn what might be a weakness into a strength showing your drive to succeed in this example that an interviewer might like to note as a positive thing to have.\n\nHope that helps.

It's hard to say without knowing what kind of job and how you're going about it now. \n\n1. Don't bring your friends or little sister with you to interviews or filling out applications. \n\n2. Dress for success. This isn't time for fashion week; look at the way other employees are dressed and dress one step nicer. Or imagine grandma taking you to church.\n\n3. Have self-confidence in the interview. Try and eliminate the "ummm's" and "yeah's". You are smart and ready to work. Let the manager know it!\n\n4. BE ON TIME for the interview.

speak well english..(LOL!*_^), dress appropriately, act as professional, have a ready smile to the interviewer. Don't be nervous(eventhough if I'm in your position, I would probably nervous too--ha-ha), just try to relax and be optimistic...say thank you when the interview was done, leave the place in cool & calm condition...say that "I'm looking forward on working with you sir/ma'am"--this might be a plus factor cuz the interviewer thinks that you're really interested on the job...

Wear dark blue, a suit if you have it.\nDon't be nervous, the interviewer is only human, and you can picture him/her in an embarrassing situation if you do get uptight, Just don't laugh out loud about it! LOL\nHaving your hair up is a good idea, it makes you look neater. \nPut on a fresh face, and scrub your teeth well (Like I'm sure you would do anyway!) Your smile is one of the first things they will look at, and if it's not "perfect" it might take away the interviewers attention from your skills (they ARE only human you know!)\nGood luck getting the job! :-D

Too many job seekers stumble through interviews as if the questions are coming out of left field. But many interview questions are to be expected. Study this list and plan your answers ahead of time so you'll be ready to deliver them with confidence. \n\n1.What Are Your Weaknesses? \n\nThis is the most dreaded question of all. Handle it by minimizing your weakness and emphasizing your strengths. Stay away from personal qualities and concentrate on professional traits: "I am always working on improving my communication skills to be a more effective presenter.." \n\n2.Why Should We Hire You? \n\nSummarize your experiences: "With XXXXX  years' experience working in the XXXXX industry and my proven record, I could make a big difference in your company. I'm confident I would be a great addition to your team." \n\n3.Why Do You Want to Work Here? \n\nThe interviewer is listening for an answer that indicates you've given this some thought and are not sending out resumes just because there is an opening. For example, "I've selected key companies whose mission statements are in line with my values, where I know I could be excited about what the company does, and this company is very high on my list of desirable choices." \n\n4.What Are Your Goals? \n\nSometimes it's best to talk about short-term and intermediate goals rather than locking yourself into the distant future. For example, "My immediate goal is to get a job in a growth-oriented company. My long-term goal will depend on where the company goes. I hope to eventually grow into a position of responsibility." \n\n5.Why Did You Leave (Or Why Are You Leaving) Your Job? \n\nIf you're unemployed, state your reason for leaving in a positive context: "I managed to survive two rounds of corporate downsizing, but the third round was a 20 percent reduction in the workforce, which included me." \n\nIf you are employed, focus on what you want in your next job: "After two years, I made the decision to look for a company that is team-focused, where I can add my experience." \n\n6.When Were You Most Satisfied in Your Job? \n\nThe interviewer wants to know what motivates you. If you can relate an example of a job or project when you were excited, the interviewer will get an idea of your preferences. "I was very satisfied in my last job, because I worked directly with the customers and their problems; that is an important part of the job for me." \n\n7.What Can You Do for Us That Other Candidates Can't? \n\nWhat makes you unique? This will take an assessment of your experiences, skills and traits. Summarize concisely: "I have a unique combination of strong technical skills, and the ability to build strong customer relationships. This allows me to use my knowledge and break down information to be more user-friendly." \n\n8.What Are Three Positive Things Your Last Boss Would Say About You? \n\nIt's time to pull out your old performance appraisals and boss's quotes. This is a great way to brag about yourself through someone else's words: "My boss has told me that I am the best XXXXXX  he has ever had. He knows he can rely on me, and he likes my sense of humour." \n\n9.What Salary Are You Seeking? \n\nIt is to your advantage if the employer tells you the range first. Prepare by knowing the going rate in your area, and your bottom line or walk-away point. One possible answer would be: "I am sure when the time comes, we can agree on a reasonable amount. In what range do you typically pay someone with my background?" \n\n10.If You Were an Animal, Which One Would You Want to Be? \n\nInterviewers use this type of psychological question to see if you can think quickly. If you answer "a bunny," you will make a soft, passive impression. If you answer "a lion," you will be seen as aggressive. What type of personality would it take to get the job don

You will be asked two types of questions:\n\nA) Informative: These questions are the "Tell me about yourself" variety - where you went to school, what you studied, etc.\n\nB) Behavioral: These questions will be in regards to how you react under certain situations (i.e., Tell me about a time when you...).  These questions are designed to see how you react under certain situations depending on the job you're applying for.  \n\nIn group interviews, it's really a "Do we like this person enough to hire them?" type of scene.  Just be yourself, don't be nervous, know something about the company as well as the position you're applying for, ask questions about the job and the company culture, and finally, send thank you notes to all those who interview you.\n\nBottom line: Your interview should tell the hiring managers three things - why are you interviewing with us (as opposed to The Gap), why should we hire you (over the hundreds of other applicants that we talked to today and all this week), and what makes you unique.\n\nGood luck....

practice the types of questions that you think they will ask. Role play with a friend so that you have some practice. Most of all remember that they would not be interviewing you unless they didn't already believe that you are a good fit for the position. And SMILE!! It will tell them that you are happy to have the chance to interview and that you will bring a positive attitude to their company!\n\nGood Luck on your interview!!

First of all interviewers look for alot of things in a person they are interviewing. 1. Dressing and how you carry yourself (should be dressed meticulously and carry yourself with confidence- head up chin up) 2. Knowledge about your achievements, goals and objectives in lfe (Should be very familiar with that0 3. Knowledge about what you are interviewing for and what will be an added advantage you will be bringing to the company of hired 4. Remember you are selling yourself so you got to put your best feet forward- talking about your weaknesses so much may scare them away so you got to be very strategic on how you display your weaknesses (name a strength that can also be a weakness) 5. Set the pace of the interview- most of the time interviewers hardly know what to ask or usu they have a print out of what to ask- be very enthusiastic when answering -encourage them by telling them that its a good question- if you dont know how to respond tell them to rephrase the question- if you dont know the response tell them its a good question but you haven't encountered such a situation and are glad that you are aware of it so you will prepare yourself incase you face it. \n\nQuestions to ask: ( Many)\nFor one, in as much as this pple are interviewing you- you are also interviewing them...so questions to ask could range from anything that you dont understand about the job description to the person you will be reporting to, to dressing style to company structure to company visions and goals to what they are looking for in the position you are being interviewed to the nature of your job, to the person you may choose as a mentor to........\n\n    *  How would you describe the responsibilities of the position?\n    * How would you describe a typical week/day in this position?\n    * Is this a new position? If not, what did the previous employee go on to do?\n    * What is the company's management style?\n    * Who does this position report to?

I don't know what job yer going for, but in ANY industry, do your homework on the company before you go to the interview- even if it's friggin McDonald's. Have something to talk about that you found out as an interesting fact online about their company. This will make you appear interested and intelligent and eager to know more about them, not just "Can I have a job?" Ask the interviewer, if it gets that comfortable, how do they like it there. And never, repeat NEVER, talk bad about any past or current employer. Sing their praises

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)
