first you must dress the part.  Wear a dark colored suit, with a white shirt underneath.  Do not wear too much cologne or perfume, it is best to not wear any at all because it may bother the interviewer.  Wear pantyhose if you are a girl and wear conservative polished shoes.  Make sure that you give the interviewer a firm handshake and look them in the eyes. It is helpful to do a mock interview prior to the actual interview with some friends so you can get out the nervous jitters before "game day."  You bring your resume, references, etc. with you to the interview in a black portfolio just in case the interviewer wants them.  At the conclusion of the interview you need to ask for the interviewer's business card and ask how long will it be until a desicion is made.  After the interview, you need to send a thank you card no later than 48 hours after the interview thanking the person for interviewing you. There are several templates on how to do this on the internet. just type "following up after an interview" in a search engine like google or yahoo.\n\nMake sure that you do research on the company that is interviwing you and on the interviewer if you can. It always looks good if you can say " I have heard that your company is implementing x program.  How does that program work exactly?"  Or something like that in order to show the interviewer that you did your homework and know about the company.

Feet flat on the floor, palms showing (an indication of honesty), lean slightly forward (indicates interest), smile, keep eye contact (not constantly obviously as that could be perceived as threatening) and nod when the interviewer talks (again - don't over do it!).  Good luck!

How have you done up till now in school? Assuming the answer is good, you're just making yourself crazy. Probably better they just gave you 2 days notice! Just relax and be yourself. The biggest turn off to an interviewer is when someone just keeps rambling on. Just answer any questions as directly and simply as you can. If it is meant to be you'll get the position. If not, the next bus will be along shortly! \n\n\nGood luck.

Relax and be yourself :-)\nJust go to the interview, and be yourself. If they ask detailed technicall questions that you don't know, just convince them that you'r smart, and that being smart is more important than memorize everything ;-)

depends on the job that you are going for, go in to the interview in a professional manor with a commanding air about you, a firm hand shake makes an immediate strong impression, a limp pussy hand shake and you've immediately lost. if the interviewer comes across with a bit of a laugh and a joke, don't be afraid to respond, however, in my experience of both being an interviewer and interviewee, these pleasantries usually come at the end.\n\nanother thing... make sure you have plenty of questions to ask them, make yourself at least appear interested in the company that you are looking to work for, promotion prospects, pension schemes etc.\n\nbest of luck

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.

Do you want to be honest, or do you want to get the job?\nIf honest, answer honestly.  Tell them what your true weaknesses are, and ask that they mentor you to help you overcome them.\n\nIf you want to get the job, however, you have two choices:\n1) Answer with a weakness you used to have, that you already overcame.  Example: "My weakness was that I was not proficient with Microsoft Word, and therefore took longer to create documents.  However, I have since taken a course to raise my proficiency, and I have overcome that weakness."\n2) Answer with a weakness that is not really a weakness the company cares about.  Examples: "I get so involved in my work that I forget about my personal life."  "I'm a perfectionist, so I don't let less than correct items go from my desk."  Things like that.

I've been for many interview before and interviewed before, and basically they just want to know if you would be good for the job they're offering. Whatever do you, don't just say what they want to hear, its so obvious and leaves a bad impression. Be honest and answer the questions positively, happily and confidently. You're allowed to be nervous, everyone is, and I can tell you now that the person interviewing you is more nervous than you are! Honest truth! They ask questions about your history, why do you want to be here, why did you leave there, what do you plan for your future, what are you good at, what do you like and enjoy doing. It varies from interviewer to interviewer. What is the most essential key, is having a good CV, that gets your foot in the door. First impressions always last - remember that. If needs be, get a graphic designer to set up your CV on CD in .pdf format, looks super professional!! Let your CV stand out from the crowd and you'll be a sure winner!  Good luck sweedie!

The best way you can prepare for the interview is to talk to those who took the interview already and succeeded (or failed). This will give you insights into preparing for the interview. Hold mock interview sessions with your friends.  Good luck!\n\ncc

Dress appropriately for the job you are applying for - if it's in an office, wear something professional; if it is a fast-food restaurant, wear a nice skirt or nice khakis and a sweater.\n\nDon't wear a lot of jewelry.\n\nDon't wear perfume/cologne - it will probably offend the interviewer (he may not like perfumes, may have scent sensitivity, or may not like the scent you've chosen).\n\nWear a watch - a sign that you care about punctuality.\n\nBe pleasant and conversational, but still be yourself.  Ask the interviewer specific questions about the job - but, on the first interview, don't ask about salary, benefits, vacation time, smoke breaks, etc.\n\nGood luck!

As a manager who does countless interviews, these are the things I look for:\n1)Enthusiasm for the job - dont be apathetic- act interested for pete's sake\n2)Ask questions...about the position or the company, or whatever..it just shows you are interested.\n3)Be prepared...do your homework - know at least a bit about the company\n4) Sounds petty but BRING YOUR OWN PEN...otherwise you appear unprepared and this tells a lot about your work habits.\n5)Be able to explain in gaps in employment, short term jobs etc in a clear manner.\n6)Practice your interview before you go...get a friend to help if possible.\n7) Easier said than done I know but RELAX and be yourself.\nThe bottom line is this...an interviewer wants to know that you are going to be the best fit for the job - they want to know that you can not only DO the job, but that you are going to have a great attitude, and be a dependable, reliable employee. It costs companies money to train people even for the smallest job. They want to know that you are going to be worth their investment.

Let the interviewer know that you don't find the question relevant to the job you're interviewing for, and take that opportunity to share some information about yourself that you DO find relevant, explaining how it illuminates your qualification for the job in question.\n\nAlternatively: look for another job. Anyplace that makes you uncomfortable at a job *interview* is substantially more likely to make you even MORE uncomfortable once you're showing up there every day. Trust your spider senses.
