I worked a career far less than a year ago. Yes there are a lot of candidates and it can be very overwhelming. The best thing to do is to have a few representatives from the company there to do on the spot interviews. The only candidates that should be getting these interviews are people who "stand out in the crowd." By saying this I mean people whose resumes AND personalities seem like the best fit for the company you are there for. Not just one OR the other.

A company I worked for loved the group interview process.  When I have held them they have been a group of candidates with usually 2 managers asking questions and possibly having some group tasks to see interactions between candidates.  The key to these interviews is to stand out...without being a show off.  if you have an intelligent answer don't be afraid to go for it.  DO NOT use the answer given before you and change the words, be different.  A company that uses the group interview is usually looking for people that can demonstrate that they are outgoing and free thinkers.  Good luck, group interviews can be a lot of fun, but no matter how fun, remember it is still an interview.

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?

Administrators come in all shapes and sizes.  You never know what you're going to get.  Some run interviews like an interrogation while others simply want to see if you have rapport together.  She (your interviewer) probably is not the decision maker based on what you've shared.  It's important however to interview her as much as she is interviewing you.  Come prepared to ask questions like the following:\n\n1. What is my typical day going to look like?\n2. What traits does the perfect candidate in your mind possess?\n3. On a scale from 1-10 grade your experience with this company.  Do you enjoy coming to work everyday?\n4. If I excel in this position what typical upward mobility options are afforded me in the future?\n5. Is there anything you'd like to know about my abilities that is not covered by a typical resume but you'd love to know.\n6. Please tell me about your worst day here at ABC Company working in your job capacity and how did you deal with it?  Did you feel you could depend on your fellow coworkers and company for support when you needed them the most?\n7. Can you tell me more about your management style and what you expect from your team members?\n8. What do you like to see most in your new employees, how can I as a new employee benefit you the most?\n\nAlways, always, always follow up your interview with a personalized (handwritten note card).  Handwrite it and handwrite the address on the front.  It will be opened and appreciated every time.  You should carry five or six cards with you at all times and have them ready to mail the same day you leave the interview.  Always ask your interviewer for their business card.  \n\nYou want to make a positive impression with your interviewer.  Be good but don't be so good they fear you will take their job...  You want to make them see you fitting into the job description they have in front of them.  Emphasize the traits you posses that best meet their needs and down play your shortcomings.  \n\nBe positive, make eye contact.  Speak clearly and keep your hands away from your face, sit up straight, lean into your interviewer (be engaging).  Most importantly dress for success.  I find I feel my best when I wear a new suit to my interviews.  You only have one chance to make a first impression.  Make the best possible impression you can.  Don’t forget a firm, dry handshake with good eye contact and s smile.\n\nThink to yourself you already have this job and make your interviewer believe it.  Be yourself, don't lie or mislead, be honest and direct.\n\nAlways interview with multiple companies at once, don't put your eggs in one basket, have options and keep working on getting new interviews even if you have a job offer pending.  Nothing is guaranteed not even if you get the job.\n\nGood luck!\n\nKK

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

There is really no way to know what an interviewer will ask you-different companies want to know different things.One great  thing you have going for you is your degree! The best thing to do in any interview is to be as honest as possible and use your common sense. Also be prepared to have more than one interview with any given company-I've heard that some companies will interview you three or more times before a decision to hire you is made!! Just be as calm as possible during the process. Hope this helps and the very best of luck to you!!

Job interviews are easier for the interviewers and the interviewees if you plan and prepare questions and answers, and use proper interviewing techniques. On this page are job-hunting and job interviews tips, samples of tough interviews questions, and answers, for interviewers and interviewees. There's also an outline of the group selection recruitment method, the most effective way to recruit people for most jobs. Job interviews are critical to the quality of an organization's people. Good job interviews processes and methods increase the quality of people in an organization. Poor job interviews methods result in poor selection, which undermines organizational capabilities, wastes management time, and increases staff turnover. Here are samples of interviews questions asked at interviews. Many interviewers and interviewees are keenly interested in 'tough' interview questions and certainly interviewees need to prepare answers for 'tough' questions. However, from the interviewer's perspective asking 'tough' questions is not usually helpful. Interviews should not place undue pressure on interviewees, because people tend to withdraw and become defensive under pressure. We learn more about people when they relax. It's better therefore to focus on 'good' interview questions rather than 'tough' ones. Good interview questions encourage interviewees to think about themselves and to give the interviewer clear and revealing information as to the interviewee's needs, capabilities, experience, personality, and suitability for the job. The best interview questions are therefore the questions which most help interviewees to reveal their skills, knowledge, attitudes, and feelings to the interviewer.\n\nMuch of this guidance also applies to students seeking internships and work experience placements. Effective interview techniques, and the processes surrounding interviews, apply to all situations involving candidate selection, whatever the position and situation.\n\nIf interviews make you nervous (as they do to most people), take comfort from the interview story about the wrong Guy, which is also a great lesson for interviewers in the need for good preparation and communication, and why high pressure in interviews doesn't get to the truth, it merely forces people to tell you what you want to hear.\n\ninterviews tips - for interviewees\nResearch as much as you can about the company - products, services, markets, competitors, trends, current activities, priorities. See the tips about researching before job interviews. \nPrepare your answers for the type of questions you'll be asked, especially, be able to say why you want the job, what your strengths are, how you'd do the job, what your best achievements are. \nPrepare good questions to ask at the interview. See the section on questions to ask at job interviews. \nRelated to the above, request a copy of the company's employment terms and conditions or employee handbook before the interview, in order to save time covering routine matters during the interview. \nAssemble hard evidence (make sure it's clear and concise) of how what you've achieved in the past - proof will put you ahead of those who merely talk about it. \nHave at least one other interview lined up, or have a recent job offer, or the possibility of receiving one from a recent job interview, and make sure you mention it to the interviewer. \nMake sure your resume/cv is up to date, looking very good and even if already supplied to the interviewer take three with you (one for the interviewer, one for you and a spare in case the interviewer brings a colleague in to the meeting). \nGet hold of the following material and read it, and remember the relevant issues, and ask questions about the areas that relate to the organisation and the role. Obtain and research: the company's sales brochures and literature, a trade magazine covering the company's m

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.

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:)

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.

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!

If this is an interviewer for a new position then I would answer that question by stating that the position didnt utilize your talents as much as you wished, that it was not a challenge mentally and that it had no place to "climb the ladder" because of closed off higher positions.
