Tips for Success in Interviews\n\n    * First impression is the best impression. You will be judged by ; the way you dress, your educational qualification, work experience, body language, manners, ability to absorb the information and interpret it intelligently and clearly.

Be on time, not ten minutes early, maybe five,  don't ever be late for the interview.\nDo not wear jewellery that is overwhelming, no facial piercings, no visible tatoos.\nBe pleasant, don't complain about your last job, the employees, or your former boss.\nTell them your strong points, don't go into too much detail, your resume will speak for itself.\nThese are a few things that I look for when I am interviewing a perspective employee.

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? If I am offered the position, can I meet him/her?\n    * How many people work in this office/department?\n    * How much travel is expected?\n    * Is relocation a possibility?\n    * What is the typical work week? Is overtime expected?\n    * What are the prospects for growth and advancement?\n    * How does one advance in the company?\n    * Are there any examples?\n    * What do you like about working here?\n    * What don't you like about working here and what would you change?\n    * Would you like a list of references?\n    * If I am extended a job offer, how soon would you like me to start?\n    * What can I tell you about my qualifications?\n    * When can I expect to hear from you?\n    * Are there any other questions I can answer for you?\n\nThere are also question you may want to stay away from asking..check the website below has tonnes more infor\n\nhttp://jobsearch.about.com/od/interviewquestionsanswers/a/interviewquest2.htm

For me, I pray for Godly wisdom that I may answer the questions to the best of my abilities.  Also, be prepared to answer questions that you may not necessarily think are important, but have an underlying value to the interviewer.\n\nMost importantly, be yourself, be professionally dressed (regardless of company), and be confident in your answers.\n\nI wouldn't drink anything with caffeine and listen to classical music on the way to the interview.  It will help keep your nerves calmed.

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

Keep it brief, & USE A SPELL CHECK!\nDress well and conservatively.\nFirm handshake, immediate eye contact, smile.\nLean forward when the interviewer is speaking and indicate interest.\nAsk questions about the company. \nDon't drift off on a tangent when answering questions.\nNEVER bad-mouth a previous employer.\nThank the interviewer for their time.\n\nFollow up with a letter or email thanking them again for their time and say that you're hoping to hear from them soon.\n\nBest of luck to you!

I've interviewed many many people for jobs, so I can talk about what I'm looking for.\n\nFor your best quality, talk about things that are work-oriented. Some examples:\n   -you are good at working with people\n   -you are able to organize a group of people to work on projects\n   -you are able to focus on your projects and assignments. \n   -you have great attention to detail\n\nThe key is, you have to be believable. It's best if you have specific examples to back this up. If you tell me that you are a great people person but you seem really shy and can't put a sentence together, I might not believe you.\n\nThe greatest weakness question is trickier. You do want to put a positive spin on it, but you also don't want to sound like you're just trying to make yourself look good. I usually look for someone who has a clear awareness of their weakness and has a plan or goal of overcoming it. For example, if you are a shy person, say so, but talk about what you are doing to help overcome your shyness. I like to hear when a person is taking active steps to address their areas of weakness.\n\nFinally, if they ask you if you have any questions, ask questions that really show that you have done some research about the company and the position you're applying for. Ask specific questions about the work environment, the type of work you'd be doing, or what direction the company is heading. It's best to show that you know something about the company. And if you can't think of anything else, ask the interviewer what they like and dislike about working there.\n\nRemember, be comfortable and be yourself. I can usually tell when someone is faking it.\n\nGood luck!

First you are gonna get an interview(make sure you have your resume with you, it makes you look prepared and responsible), then they are going to call you and tell you if you got the job or not, don't freak out about it, you'll do just fine!\nHere's a few tips for your interview:\n\n1)Make sure you are dressed like if you are gonna go to church or somewhere nice, that shows how much you care about the interview, and gives a good impression about yourself. Don't wear flip-flops, jeans, shirts, or very showy or sparkly make-up and cloth, makes you look trashy!\n2)Make sure your hair is not messed up, and that your nails are really clean (toes, and fingers)\n3)When you shake hands with your interviewer, give them a strong (not so strong you don't want to cut their circulation off!lol) shake, that makes you look confident and well-prepared.\n4)Make eye contact at all times- it lets the interviewer know that you are paying attention to the conversation.\n5)When they ask you a question, don't just answer the question, first answer the question and then explain why.\n6)Don't wear flip-flops or sandals, it's very informal and makes them think that you are dirty (especially if it's a job at a restaurant).\n7)Try to make conversation with the interviewer, makes them think that you like them, and that you are a social person.\n8)DO NOT interrupt the interviewer, it's very rude, and that lets the interviewer know that you don't wait for instruction to be given.\n9)When you enter the room and shake hands with the interviewer make sure you smile, it makes you look confident, and not nervious.\n10)When you live the interview make sure you say something like "thank you so much for your time, it was really nice meeting you!" with a smile on your face(it shows gratitude), and shake hands with him/her.\n\nI hope this helped you!

I would recommend dressing neatly, but not a suit & tie. Expect to fill out a job application. I would avoid excessive jewelry and outlandish hair styles. Look at what employees there wear daily and be careful about piercings.\nThey should ask you open ended questions about your past performance so be prepared.\nAn open ended question would something like "Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult person."\nAs this is your first job situation, you'll not have past employment to fall back on for the answers, so use things from your own experience. Maybe something from school or home.\nBe sure to smile, give a firm handshake, and look the interviewer in the eye.\nGood luck!

If you want the job, you should do the following:\n\n1. Show up for the interview five minutes early.\n2. Be clean and wear clean clothes.\n3. Your clothes should be appropriate for a job interview: no bare midriffs, no tattered jeans, no flip-flops. A woman should wear a skirt or dressy slacks. Low-cut stuff is for bars, not job interviews.\n4. Tasteful jewelry is fine but avoid nose rings, ultra-big earrings and so forth. You might want to minimize facial piercings, if you have them.\n5. Look into the eyes of your interviewer.\n6. Answer questions honestly.\n7. Don't use a lot of slang and trendy language. \n8. Shake hands.\n9. Ask a couple of appropriate questions about the job. "What day is payday?" and "I'd really like to work in sporting goods someday -- do you think that's possible?" are appropriate. "Can I bring my boyfriend to the Christmas party?" is not.\n10. I know that this is a nerve-wracking experience but try to relax and be natural.\n\nAnd... Good Luck!

Don't go into it thinking you have to be a car salesman.  Simply put, be confident, tell the interviewer why you would be an asset to the company and whenever possible turn on the charm, make small talk.  Smile a lot and radiate the positive vibes.  The most important thing, which does sound somewhat cliche but is so true, just be yourself.

Style of your clothes.\n\nWhen choosing your clothes for the interview, remember the position you are applying for. Manager with a ponytail and glittering earring is good for the manager of the rock-star and this style is not appropriate if you apply for the position of a manager in a head office of respectable\nbank.\n\nIf it is difficult to make an appropriate style for the interview
