Go alone to the Interview. Be Early (Remember the Early Bird gets the worm.) Address the Interviewer as Mr. or Mrs. and shake hands firmly. Wait until you are told to be seated. Never go in and sit down on your own. Maintain good eye contact. Do not answer any questions until you have put some thought into them.
8
Smoke or chew anything. Ask about salary or days off. Discuss personal problems, etc. Handle anything on the interviewers desk. Provide information, which is not factual. Beg for the job, or hang around after the interview.
9
Tell me a little bit about yourself. Possible Answers: A summary of how much training you have for the job that you are interviewing for. Do not go into personal things about yourself, whether you have kids, married, etc. They have no right to know about these things. The main thing is to be yourself!
10
What kind of work are you looking for? Possible Answers: Be as specific as you can. The best answer to this question can be found in the job description. You can repeat the duties listed for the position for which you are interviewing. Other answers suggest you want to grow and learn or want to demonstrate your good work ethic. “I want a job in which I will be able to produce for the company and grow along with it.”
11
What is your biggest weakness? Possible Answers: No employer will believe that you are without weaknesses. An interview is not a place to confess self-doubt. You are selling a product – your professional self – and no employer will buy the product if you put it down. Refer to a strength as a weakness, or turn your weakness into a strength. ▪ “I have the attitude that I come to work to do a job. I do not like to waste work time. That can make me less than popular with coworkers who want to use the employer’s time to chat or goof off.” ▪ “I’m something of a perfectionist. I want my work to reflect the highest standards of quality”
