Job interview - Faw_Peter - 06-06-2008
A friend of mine is a novice in seeking jobs. But he recently found one, something connected to computers, IT, and whatever... He agreed with the employer to have an interview, but he doesn't know how he should behave and what he needs to say or maybe doesn't have to say and he asks advices. I am not professional in these things, can you suggest something interesting.

Job interview is a very delicate thing. Any gesture can influence the manager. My advice is to feel calm, but not as home; to have a sober mind and answer confidently and clearly the asked questions
Re: Job interview - Terry - 06-19-2008
It's very improtant to use your body language to convey your confidence. Make eye contact and maintain good posture during the interview.
Re: Job interview - Steven - 06-20-2008
It's very important to stay positive during the interview and avoid complaining or bad-mouthing previous employers or companies, since the manager will feel himself inthe previous employer's skin

The candidate must come to the job interview a little early. Being late is a bad first impression. Managers may think if you're late to the interview, you'll always be late for your position.
Re: Job interview - Benn - 06-25-2008
It's important that the person who goes to interview learns more about the dress code of the organization and dress appropiately. Managers are gonna like that
Re: Job interview - M.Helen - 06-27-2008
If the interviewed person has a mobile phone, he should make sure he turned it off during the interview, since it will prove your unreadiness and lack of seriousness towards the interview.
Re: Job interview - Terry - 06-29-2008
Remember to have a good breath, but don't make a mistake by continuing chewing the gum within the interview. It is not nice.
Re: Job interview - Faw_Peter - 07-01-2008
Do not discuss salary in the first interview unless they do; getting the job at this stage is the main priority - salary negotiations will follow later.
Re: Job interview - M.Helen - 07-03-2008
You can give an example of a goal you reached and tell me how you achieved it.
Re: Job interview - Steven - 07-04-2008
the interviewer must prepare a list of questions to ask the manager, as well as prepare answers for the possible questions.
Re: Job interview - Terry - 07-05-2008
Be careful to speak intellengently. Remember that you speak to an employer and not to your friends, so forget about slangs.
Re: Job interview - M.Helen - 07-07-2008
It is good to practice your possible answers in front of the mirror a day before the interview, so that it could help you speak clearly and confidently.
Re: Job interview - Terry - 07-09-2008
Send a thank you note afterward. This will show the director that you really want to make a good impression. Thank them for taking the time to meet with you.
Re: Job interview - Benn - 07-12-2008
Remember that the manager can lie at the job interview only for finding out what are your real opinions. So it's more probable he will be the first who will try to create a friendly atmosphere, but the interviewer has to be careful cause this might be a trap.
Re: Job interview - Terry - 07-15-2008
don't hasten to answer the manager's questions. Take a breath, and wait 1-4 seconds after the question. It is recommended because the manager may wish add something.
Re: Job interview - Benn - 07-20-2008

That girl will doubtlessly have this job
However it is sometimes recommended to behave on a job interview a little bit insolently.
Re: Job interview - Steven - 07-28-2008
I agree Terry. But this is rather what girls can do. Men can't do that 'cause the managers won't even want to listen to them, while a girl/woman can manipulate that.
Re: Job interview - Terry - 07-30-2008
well, it depends on the manager of course. If I now had a job interview, I would try to show my best. Actually, thereby I would simply behave as I usually do.
Re: Job interview - Faw_Peter - 07-31-2008
Yes, that's correct. Sometimes people try to show the qualities which actually don't belong to them. Good managers will notice that

So what? This might be a very good quality of yours. It proves that you are multi-skilled person in psychological context.

This is a good strategy, but it will help you to only obtain the job position, but the down side is that you’ll have to manage those skills in order to not get fired.

you may be lucky and never meet the manager you were interviewed by
