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.

be dressed decently, have a pleasant smile, be calm and confident but not self-sufficient or superior, look in the eyes of the one who takes you the interview, not in the floor..\n\ngood luck:)

I guess I will lay out anything I know, from school and work experience or even from real life experience, then lay out what I am good at, ask your family and close friend why do they love you, what is good about you to them, ask your previous schoolmate and co-worker, employer, what it is like to work with you, after doing that you should be well prepare for any interview.  Remember, you must know about yourself before you can introduce yourself to the others.  The only, in job interview, don't go too personal, and don't complain about anything about your past experience.

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...

Introduce yourself and answer their questions.  You can prepare yourself by asking one or more policemen what questions they were asked.  Also prepare a short summary of your experience, and say why you would like police work.\nGood luck.

if you're talking about a job interview, then you must remember that interviewers only want to know three things.\n\n1) Can you do the job?\n\n2) Will you do the job?\n\n3) Will you fit in?\n\nAlso, try and show some interest in the company. For example, ask if there are any big projects on the horizon.\n\nIf you bear these in mind when answering questions, you will be on the way to success!

Here is a great article on interviewing.  It will help you get prepared.

(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

practice the types of questions that you think they will ask. Role play with a friend so that you have some practice. Most of all remember that they would not be interviewing you unless they didn't already believe that you are a good fit for the position. And SMILE!! It will tell them that you are happy to have the chance to interview and that you will bring a positive attitude to their company!\n\nGood Luck on your interview!!

Keep in mind - confidence!  That is the key.  If you are confident in yourself 100%, then you'll succeed at anything.  The most qualified person in the world could go in for an interview with no confidence and they probably won't get the job.\nHave confidence and you'll have more of a chance.\nAlso have a good resume.  Good resume's is a big key to a great job.  If you dont feel your resume is up to par..have someone look over it to make it sound better and to check spelling errors.

My favorite part of the interview is when I get to ask questions. They love this one: if you were to hire me for this position what would be one bit of wisdom you would tell me to help me be succesful in this orginization. \nanother important question: What would my first task be and what difficulties should I expect to encounter.. i have lots more but trying to keep it short so you can prepare...

You have to sleep well otherwise you will look awfull. Eat your breafkast or lunch (dependes on the time of your interview). Prepare your clothes, shoes, everything..like you want to go to a party. You have to reach there on time. Preparing for an interview is different with preparing a written test. But there's some answer that you can prepare, e.g, prepare the answer of this question "Tell me your positive and negative side" ; "Have you ever received any recognition during your study or work.." : "What if you have to work after the hours" ; "How if we rotate you to another position or country or city". Sometimes..they ask you that kind of question.\n\nRemember, during the interview, the interviewer would like to know better of your personality, how you cooperate with stress, can you cooperate with your colleague. So..be yourself, don't over confidence, wearing your best suit which is suitable with the position that you apply, listen carefully and don't say to much by saying something so theoriticall. Be yourself.\n\nHope you pass the interview

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!
