Great question.  First, why is it you want this job?  What do you know about the company?  What do you know about the position you are interviewing for and how do your skills support the position?  If you go in to an interview having done your homework by really understanding the company, what they do, what makes them great, what you think may improve the company, position, etc, and why you really want the job you will impress the interviewer.  Dress for success, have a great handshake and look the person in the eye.  Remind yourself that you ARE the best person for the job and set the intention of leaving the interview with the interviewer realizing that.  Good luck!  Let us know when you get the position :)

Every interview has a unique focus, but some questions are asked so often, it makes sense to do all you can to prepare for them. In order to be successful, you need a strategy -- not scripted answers. Your goal should be to emphasize your past experiences that best fit what each interviewer is looking for.\n\n\nTell me about a time when you faced a major obstacle at work.\n\nIntent: Similar to the proudest achievement question, this is a behavioral interview question focused on an event. In this case, the interviewer is interested in your ability to overcome a major hurdle.\n\nContext: Pick an example that illustrates a significant obstacle that best demonstrates how you work and that had a positive, tangible outcome. Obstacles might include business problems, a difficult objective, key people who stood in your way or lack of resources. Once you have your example, explain the steps you took.\n\nResponse: You could include the analysis you performed and the resulting strategy, the process you took, the key actions performed, your arguments or anything else that clearly demonstrates how you achieved your goal. A great response technique for this kind of question is to break your answer down into phases or steps: "First, I... Second...."\n\nHow do you deal with conflict?\n\nIntent: Conflict is part of any workplace, and the reality is that you often can't get ahead or perform well in your job unless you can deal with conflict at a basic level. Do you avoid conflict or face it? Do you think it through, or are you emotional? Do you use constructive techniques to resolve the situation?\n\nContext: There are different forms of conflict of course: the everyday interpersonal sort, disagreements in direction or strategy, and conflict over resources. You should describe how you handle conflict at an appropriate level. If you are a manager or executive, for example, pick a reflective example.\n\nResponse: Consider offering a specific example to demonstrate how you resolve conflict.\n\nTell me about yourself.\n\nIntent: Such an innocent-sounding question, but it is a bit of a trap. The interviewer wants to see how you present yourself, but this is not an offer to recite your resume.\n\nContext: This question, which when asked always occurs at the beginning of the interview, is a predictable opportunity to craft an engaging, intriguing executive summary of who you are professionally and why you are there. While there is no hard-and-fast rule as to how long it should be, let's say it should last up to a minute. If you are given this opportunity, turn it to your advantage to establish momentum.\n\nResponse: The stronger the connection you can make between your background, knowledge and interests, and the job at hand, the more compelling you will be as a candidate. If there is something notable about your personal life that adds to your candidacy or helps explain your career trajectory, add it. Otherwise, leave personal details out at this stage unless invited to do so.\n\nHow would you describe your work style? \n\nIntent: This is a fairly open-ended question. At a basic level, the interviewer is interested in hearing how you both understand and articulate how you work. However, there may be a requirement for someone highly organized, or the team may have a specific way of working, and the interviewer wants to see if you fit.\n\nContext: You may not have thought about this too carefully before. How do you best operate? What's the optimum work situation for you? There are two sides to this: how you work and in what kinds of work environments do you work best. Are you highly structured? Do you focus on one thing and get it done, or move multiple projects forward concurrently? On the environment side, do you do best in fairly structured workplaces, or do you thrive in chaos?\n\nResponse: Like any other answer, being specific and backing up your answer with a brief example works best. You could use the past week as an illust

Some helpful tips are:\n- act like you want the job without seeming too desperate\n- research the company before you go to the interview, knowledge of what they do, how long they've been about, etc will impress them\n- ask questions, try and involve some of your research here, such as: "I've read about a new product / merger, how will this effect the company?"\n- Don't lie, if you get the job based on bulls**t you made up in the interview they will soon fire you\n- Be yourself\n\nHope these help

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

You must always prepare yourself for an interview. Surely, interviews follow formal questions and look for specific answers and that's why it is important to prepare yourself. How do you do this?\n1. Read the advertisement carefully and pick out the competencies that the employer is looking for.\n2. Match your competencies with these.\n3. Use your competencies as a selling tool during the interview\n\nIf you cannot sell your experience, qualifications and achievements to the employer, it is hardly likely that they will employ you in a sales position.\n\n\nHere are some useful links:\n\nhttp://www.bc.edu/offices/careers/skills/interview/questionsasked/\nhttp://www.bc.edu/offices/careers/skills/interview/questionstoask/\nhttp://interview.monster.com/archives/interviewquestions/\nhttp://ceres.cals.ncsu.edu/career/site/filelibrary/questions_interviewers_are_likely_to_ask.pdf#search=%22questions%20that%20interviewers%20ask%22\nhttp://static.jobtrak.com/academy/skills_html/decisions.html\n\nRehearse the answers to each question with a friend or in front of a mirror and do so with confidence. This will prepare you for the formal interviews. All the best!

Make sure and tell things that are related to the position that you are hiring for. Have a story to go with the different qualities that you are stressing.  For instance, if you say that you have a lot of initiative share a story about a past position where you showed that quality.  Don't talk about your personal life--that is not what the interviewer wants to hear about at this stage.

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:)

Tell me about yourself. \n\nTRAPS:  Beware, about 80% of all interviews begin with this “innocent” question. Many candidates, unprepared for the question, skewer themselves by rambling, recapping their life story, delving into ancient work history or personal matters.\n\nBEST ANSWER:  Start with the present and tell why you are well qualified for the position. Remember that the key to all successful interviewing is to match your qualifications to what the interviewer is looking for. In other words you must sell what the buyer is buying. This is the single most important strategy in job hunting. \n\nSo, before you answer this or any question it's imperative that you try to uncover your interviewer's greatest need, want, problem or goal. \n\nTo do so, make you take these two steps:\n\n1.Do all the homework you can before the interview to uncover this person's wants and needs (not the generalized needs of the industry or company)\n\n2.As early as you can in the interview, ask for a more complete description of what the position entails.  You might say: “I have a number of accomplishments I'd like to tell you about, but I want to make the best use of our time together and talk directly to your needs. To help me do, that, could you tell me more about the most important priorities of this position?  All I know is what I (heard from the recruiter, read in the classified ad, etc.)”\n\n Then, ALWAYS follow-up with a second and possibly, third question, to draw out his needs even more. Surprisingly, it's usually this second or third question that unearths what the interviewer is most looking for. \n\nYou might ask simply, "And in addition to that?..." or, "Is there anything else you see as essential to success in this position?: \nThis process will not feel easy or natural at first, because it is easier simply to answer questions, but only if you uncover the employer's wants and needs will your answers make the most sense. Practice asking these key questions before giving your answers, the process will feel more natural and you will be light years ahead of the other job candidates you're competing with.\n \nAfter uncovering what the employer is looking for, describe why the needs of this job bear striking parallels to tasks you've succeeded at before. Be sure to illustrate with specific examples of your responsibilities and especially your achievements, all of which are geared to present yourself as a perfect match for the needs he has just described.

During practice and actual interviews and networking meetings, many job seekers are tensed and primed, ready to jump all over the questions they get.\n\nThis is a superficial understanding of how interviews work and interviewers think. Of course, you're being evaluated and you have a justifiable reason for wanting to appear articulate, credible and attractive. However, your goal shouldn't be to give a good performance. You actually have four goals: to build rapport, create a relationship that lasts beyond the interview, understand and address the potential employer's concerns and priorities and treat the interviewer like a human being, not an adversary. Your emphasis should be on overall fit, not fancy footwork.\n\nToo many job seekers view the interview process as an athletic competition. They assume the challenge is to score the maximum number of points for style on each question, racking up an aggregate score that exceeds the competition's. Their performance will "win the interview," secure a job offer and, presumably, allow them to live happily ever after.\n\nBefore you answer, take a moment to figure out where the interviewer is coming from. What does he really want to know? What does the question mean? How does it relate to previously asked questions? What's appropriate in this context? What pitfalls lurk beneath the surface of this question? Where will your answer lead?\n\nIt's always wise to anticipate topics that will arise in an interview. Job seekers who wing it often blow it. The key to confidence is thorough preparation. But there's a distinction between thinking about how to approach certain issues and prefabricating canned responses that you regurgitate on cue. Your preparation should focus on two concerns:\n\n   1. the employer's needs, priorities and values and\n   2. what you should say about your skills, abilities, aptitudes, values, style and motivation to give the interviewer an accurate picture of you.\n\nEvery interview question probes some dimension of your capability or motivation. The problem is that interviewers sometimes ask questions without knowing why they're asking them. Therefore, they can't always distinguish a constructive answer from an evasive but adroit dodge. Moreover, some questions shouldn't be taken at face value. The challenge for job seekers, then, is to build and buttress a coherent picture of their strengths and figure out what's going on in the interviewer's head.\n\nAssume you've just arrived for an interview and you immediately spy a copy of your resume filled with notes, underlines and exclamation points in front of the interviewer. Next, he hits you with that mushiest of all questions: Tell me a little about yourself. This information is obvious from your resume, so, you think, what does this clown want to know? What's the point of the question and why is he asking?

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)
