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)

I did this and mastered it,.\nAsk him or her to\n" Take the interview and not face the interview"\nI have diverted the interviewers' many a time to areas of my comfort. Really! Here I am in Dubai..still a killing interviewee now and then..

(m)\n\nDefine in detail how you want to perform in the interview: Describe to yourself in words the way you want to be.  How would you look and sound to a neutral observer? e.g. I see myself in an interview room sitting by a desk.  I look relaxed, and I am smiling, alert and energetic.  I am paying close attention to the other people in the room.  My posture is upright and I am making conversation easily and effortlessly. I exude confidence. \n\nMentally rehearse the interview from the perspective of an observer: In your imagination visualize yourself at the interview comfortable and at ease meeting people, feeling relaxed and confident. Pretend that you are observing yourself from the other side of the room.  The trick here is to imagine events unfolding in vivid 3D with rich colors.  For many people, making the image large and close also helps to make it feel more realistic.  Have fun playing with the image until it seems as real as watching T.V. or a movie screen.  \nTake care also to introduce sounds - maybe the scratching of a pen on paper, the squeak of a moving chair or the sound of your own voice exuding authority and confidence.   You can make sounds come to life by turning up the volume as you imagine that you are listening to full, resonant sounds in the room so that it is as if you are really there. Introduce feeling as well - sense the atmosphere in the room, the  temperature and mood, and soak up the aura of success that you exude in the imagined picture. \n\nThen introduce different scenarios for different types of people you may encounter. Imagine talking to someone who is putting you under pressure!  See yourself politely dealing with everything thrown at you.  What will you do if you are left sitting there facing a wall of silence?  See yourself acting decisively and without fear to move onto the next opportunity to create rapport.  Picture yourself at ease whoever you talk to, it is especially important to consider worst-case scenarios and to visualize yourself handling each challenge with unstoppable confidence. \n\nMentally rehearse the interview from your own perspective:  When you are pleased with the imagined performance you are producing, step inside the image of yourself and run through the scenarios again as if YOU are now doing it.  See, feel and hear it as if it is really happening. This time, you are looking out into the world from your own eyes, so your arms are directly in front of you with people facing you, as you feel your clothes on your body.  Allow it all to unfold in great detail - make it as real as possible by letting your imagination free to create a rich and colorful panoramic view of a successful day.  Finally, pay special attention again to feelings, really spend time imagining yourself feeling exactly the way you want to feel, and then crank it up and double the intensity until it could not possibly get any better. Then, imagine it even better again!  \n\nSet up a peak performance signal:  Ask yourself - what signal will you use as a reminder to use your ability to perform in this way?  I use the feeling of sitting on my own and getting tense as my mind goes blank.  The signal can be something you see, feel or hear inside or outside yourself and it must happen at or close to the point of wanting to speak to someone.  Other examples include seeing yourself surrounded by a group of strangers, hearing someone ask you your opinion, or the feeling that you want to be more outgoing even as you feel yourself getting more self-conscious right now - why not use self-consciousness to trigger better communication skills! \nImagine the signal happening and visualize yourself performing at your best in the interview. \n\nSome final points. Like anything in life it takes time to get really good at mental rehearsal. Using this visualization technique for twenty minutes a day will train your brain to perform new behaviors. The results will astound you.  \n\nJudge mental rehearsal by trying it out

Appreciate the chance to help you.  I have been in this situation before.  Here is what I did: \n1 - Explain your situation to your new potential employer. \n2 - Ask the potential  employer if they would be willing to schedule your interview during your lunch hour. \n3 - Ask them if they would be willing to interview you during after-hours.  I had one employer who actually suggested that first.  When I told them that I had to go home to change (because we had a jeans-casual day) they told me to come to the interview in my jeans!  I got the job with a huge sign-on bonus.  Never hurts to ask. \n4 - IF they are an employer who provides services during night or early morning hours, they may be able to interview you at those times - just ask.  \nIf you need help on the best dates to apply for a job, send a resume, seek a promotion, etc., visit  http://www.AstroWishes.com

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.

A few thoughts:\n\n1.  Dress like people dress who have the job already (or at least how the boss would have you dress).\n\n2.  Make sure your resume has everything on it that you hope the interviewer will write down in their notes.\n\n3.  Practice this interview with a friend.  Have them do at least one being a jerk, focusing on some area of weakness in your resume.  After that, any interview that Target does will be a piece of cake.\n\n4.  Building on #3, make sure you have good answers for question that you know they're gonna ask.  ESPECIALLY have good answers for problem areas -- a job that didn't work out so well, or lack of experience, etc.\n\n5.  Know that the person doing the hiring has two goals -- hire a good person as soon as possible, and hiring a person who will do the job who is NOT a head case.  You need to show them that you're ready to go, and NOT gonna be a PITA (Pain in the A&&).  They've already got enough PITAs.\n\n6.  For the LOVE OF GOD!  PLEASE remove nose rings, eyebrow rings, etc.  COVER UP those tatoos!  Do NOT show up with green hair!  REMOVE THE TONGUE PIERCING!  Comb your hair, have conservative makeup (if they notice it, then it's too much).  Brush your teeth, have a nice hair cut.  SHOWER!!!  I know that this should go w/o saying, but.... \n\nYou don't want to send the message to this person that you're a head case (see the previous point), and those things send really REALLY bad vibes.

#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!!!!

Suggestions: use their name when giving them a firm hand shake. Know details about the hospital, I would suggest you even go for an informal tour of the hospital. Know about the postion you are appling for. Be yourself don't get nervous. When answeing questions don't ramble. If this is suppose to be your job you will get it. Good Luck!\nPersonal Appearance is also important: Dress in clean clothes, groom yourself before leaving the house.\nPractice: Practice with a friend so you don't get so nervous at the interview.

it depends on how nice your interview people are. i recently had mine, and there were about 15 kids in the room together, very laid back. they ask simple question like 'why do you think you shuld go on this trip?' and other questions like that, some from the sheet you have to fill out about your self. goodluck!

first you have to see the baby or kids, so ask the woman if it possible to see their kid in the same time that you have the interview and try to play a little bit with them, but not to much because you have to make a good impression, when  the lady will open the door make a big small and introduced you by your name by example my name is Caroline Newton and i have an appointment with Miss Mc Conkey after don't be to much friendly but like i say before ask her is it possible to see you children and introduce me to them. So just relax take it relax and if you had take some course like how to make a first aid don't forget to tell her and if you have any habit with kid tell her to, everything that you know about kid. So i tell you good luck and if you made that i am sure that you will work for this woman,

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

First, dress professionally. Be confident. Come prepared with stories about why you want to fly, how your past work experience has prepared  you to deal with the public and handle emergencies. Look everyone in the eye. Smile and have fun.\n\nResponse to your follow up questions:\n\nFirst, you may not be hired until you can demonstrate a solid job experience background. Most airlines will want to see that you stayed on the job for at least 2 years in in a customer service related job. They will conduct a thorough background check. Your bankruptcy probably won't be an issue. You should be completely honest. If they discover a lie on a background check, they will not hire you. They are looking for honesty.

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

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!

If you are run of topics like telephone conversation. airline inquiry, meeting new people, asking the way, asking for help, etc then you must try an interview for job, a lottery winning confirmation, a complaint to a mobile service provider, purchasing books in a book store, wooing people to purchase their company's credit card etc. Hope this helps.

Dress professionally!  As a manager nothing annoys me more than someone who shows up in jeans and a t-shirt!  Wear apporiate clothing and shoes.\n\nHave you studied the company you are interviewing with?  If not, then I would suggest doing some research on the company.\n\nI bring an extra resume with me when I interview and I make sure that my breath is fresh.  I look the interviewer in the eye and if I don't understand a question I ask for some explaination.  I do my best to answer the questions.  Also, be on time!  Do not show up late, arrive a few minutes early so that you have enough time to get there.\n\nHope that helps!
