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...

Practice, practice, practice.  Before I begin a long period of interviewing, I come up with a list of potential questions (from books & internet) and a rough idea of the answers I want to give.  I also come up with a general fact sheet of the qualities I want to emphasize in my answers and specific points to emphasize about each bullet point in my resume.  Then, I ask my sister or close friend to practice with me by asking me questions just like a real interview.  During the practice session, I act as I would in an interview.  Being prepared helps me feel more relaxed before/during the interview.  Also, the preparation keeps me from rambling/babbling during the interview... it is important to keep answers concise and to the point.\n\nI am a very nervous person, and the preparation definately helped me thoughout interviewing.  Other things I watched out for so that the interviewer didn't know I was nervous were making sure not to move my hands too much when talking, not to fidget or sway my legs, and not to insert a nervous laugh in my sentences.  Also, I tried to always smile and handle myself to give an impression of confidence by standing or sitting up straight, always giving a firm handshake, and making eye contact.\n\nIt is very useful to go to your local library and check out books and/or videos on interview strategies.  The videos are pretty corny, but make great points and are easier to get through than books (although the books are a great resource for commonly asked questions in your field).\n\nGOOD LUCK!  You can do it!!!

Type up a list of common questions asked during interviews and start to think of answers.  Practice the answers, but try not to sound scripted.  There's several sites that list common questions.  Type in "interview questions" in Google to find them.  The most important thing to do is have questions ready to ask THEM.  If an interviewer asks if you have any questions and you say "no", you're pretty much off their list.  Type up some questions if you don't think you can remember any... be sure to ask questions about the job and/or organization, not about the interviewer or non relevant topics.  Also do not ask about salary unless you're offered the job. Finally, get a good night's sleep, dress to impress, take out any piercings, and pop a mint and eat it before meeting the interviewer.  Good luck!\n\nPS--bring copies of your resume and references also.

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?

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)

Question 1 is looking for you ablitiy to be comfortable and be able to communicate with confidence....SOOO talk about something that you are confident with. Perhaps a hobby you enjoy. \n\nQuestion 2, you dont ever want to bad mouth you previous employer so say something like you are looking to gain new experiences, or looking for a company that can offer you more opportunity to move around into other positions... Whatever your reason for leaving is.  IF you don't get along with your boss you can use one of my suggestions. \n\nStrength and weaknesses:  Those are always the tough questions.  Who wants to admit they are weak? \n\nThis give the interviewer an idea of personality. \n\nTake a while to really think about what you want to say for these. Write down your answers. Get a couple differnet ones even so you will have a choice of what to talk about.

Always follow "the four P's of interviewing": \n\n1. Preparation. \n2. Practice.\n3. Personal presentation.\n4. Pertinent questions. \n\nPREPARATION:\n\nIt's really frustrating for an interviewer to have someone that they're talking to who really doesn't know the company or the position they're applying for. \n\nBefore you interview, you should have looked at the Web site, read the company's brochure, and talked to people who've worked there. If you haven't done that, it can really make it uncomfortable in the interview, because either you're not going to understand what the interviewer's talking about, or you're going to ask some dumb questions.\n\nAnother thing is not really preparing for the interview itself. You should sit down and think, ‘What are they going to ask me when I'm in that interview?' With a little bit of asking around, you can find out things like, do they use behavior-based questions, do they use case-based questions, do they use a really unstructured conversational interview? \n\n\nPRACTICE:\n\nThrough preparation, you can often anticipate the kinds of questions -– if not the exact ones -- you'll be asked during interviews. Once you've determined the probable questions, practice in front of someone. \n\n\nPERSONAL PRESENTATION:\n\nDress appropriately. Don't show up wearing a coat when a suit would be more fitting. If you do wear the right tie or suit, make sure you are well-presented. Don't be wrinkled or dirty. Doing your homework should reveal the appropriate attire. \n\nBe sure to cover all the standard interviewing etiquette points as well. Be familiar with the basics -- like a good handshake. Make sure to have basic eye contact; a lot of people put a lot of weight into eye contact. Maintaining that is really important.\n\n\nPERTINENT QUESTIONS:\n\nIt's really bad in interviews to get to the end and they say, ‘Do you have any questions I can answer for you?' and you say, ‘Nope, I think you answered them all,' and that's the end of it. It's reflects negatively on you. \n\nAsk a really difficult question -- something that takes some guts to ask, asking really well-thought-out questions that shows you know the business that that interviewer is in. It all goes back to preparation, and it tells the interviewer you thought about this interview before you walked in the door.

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.

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

That's a bonus question, try to talk about something that you did and with which you are very comfortable with. Say for example, you had done some thesis or research work, and you tell them about it. By default, their question will be on that thesis, which is something you know a lot about.\nSo, its an opportunity to steer the interview in whatever direction you want to, use it well!

Do research on the company you are applying for.\nDress appropriately and professionally.\nDon't use slang words, trendy words, or acronyms,when speaking to any one at the company, even the Secretary.\nDon't answer any interview questions spontaneously, take your time and think about what you are saying.\nDon't talk about your relationships, children, or personal beliefs.\nDon't fidget, chew gum, or look around the room nervously.  Speak to the interviewer and have good eye contact.\nAlways remember: never do or say any thing that you are ashamed of. People talk, there may be someone there that worked with you once, or had some other connection to you.
