All you have to do is to be confidence and believe in yourself. That is the main key. They always like to see that their new employee is confidence and know what he/she is supposed to do. As long as you do have a good resume and you are smart and confidence you are all set and most likely you are hired.

What question would you ask your potential employer?<br /><br />I am ready for my interview as I have been through many interviews in order for me to join clubs on campus. The questions are pretty similar and I will be able to maneuver it with ease. The only problem is that I have to do a comprehensive research before going for the interview as I will need to know how to answer some of the questions with that knowledge.<br /><br />Some of the questions I did not expect would be the simple' lifestyle questions like "What do you do in your free time". That would catch me off guard but I will be fine.<br /><br />I would ask the employers for their availability to follow-up on my interview.Kelly Goenadibratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055101179478793405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-19934945335740159372017-02-27T16:26:46.618-08:002017-02-27T16:26:46.618-08:00This article is really beneficial.

My first job was when I was 16 at McDonald's the interview was not as difficult. The question they asked did not involve any sort of critical thinking. However When I applied at Macy's the questions were more proper and involve thinking outside the box reading this article made me realize why I did not get the position. I talked bad about my previous job which was McDonald's which probably was not the smartest thing to do but you live and you learn. When ever you get interviewed I always thought it was inappropriate to ask questions for some reason.I should ask proper things as the pay and benefits to seem interested and more professional. I think this blog post was very helpful because it did not just list the questions and interviewer will ask they went out of the way by stating the don't and do's and why.

To understand and to be aware of what kind of questions will be asked by potential employers can help you be prepared and equip with answers without needing to think of it on the spot. preparation is key when walking into an interview. I think that the person being interviewed should have at least two questions to ask the potential employer at the end of the interview to let them know that you are not just looking for a job but that you are just as invested in the company as they are.Gina Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18226146008114366881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-34990796495167997122017-01-30T10:26:31.010-08:002017-01-30T10:26:31.010-08:00I find this article very useful, especially for fr...I find this article very useful, especially for freshman college students. Some freshman have no job experience, so these questions can help with trying to get a job during freshman year. We go into college to prepare for a career for after we graduate, so we also need to be prepared to interview for the job. As a freshman, we don't have much experience in the job field that we are looking to go into. These questions could also prepare us for internships that we will try to get when we are upperclassman. These internships could help prepare to get a job after we graduate and we could use it as an example of experience in out interview. The internship could even end up as a job after, if we answer these questions wisely and do well on the internships, which is like a prolonged interview, we could get a job at that place. I feel like this is article that freshman and even upperclassman should read to prepare them for the workforce.

This post is extremely helpful because you mentioned not only what questions they would ask but also what direction the interviewee should go with their answer. I find it extremely important to study for the job you are applying for before going into the interview because you will be so much more prepared and the person conducting the interview will notice. Each interview I have done, I have studied for and it has helped me stand out even in group interviews and so far, this has paid off because I have earned each job I've applied for. I also agree that the weakness question is the worst because I found myself struggling with trying not to give away too much information which could make myself look bad, but also not hold back too much because I didn't want to seem as though I had no flaws. Overall, I think this blog post is extremely helpful to those who are looking for jobs and I think everyone should read this before going to their next interview.

The information given helps one to prepare themselves for the questions that employers may ask and provides you an idea of what employers are searching for. Interviews tend to make people feel anxious. This article allows one to think critically and deeply about their skills, strengths, weaknesses, and characteristics that will help display themselves as a better fit for the job.

Even if these aren't the exact questions that will be asked, it gives you a good idea of similar questions and will allow you to practice how to talk appropriately during an interview. This article can also be very useful for people who aren't sure how to answer certain questions in the right way. Interviews are always super stressful but this article could really help someone feel more prepared and maybe a little less nervous.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06639493032000602951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-58571149654325005312016-10-19T13:47:53.754-07:002016-10-19T13:47:53.754-07:00This post is so beneficial because many of those q...This post is so beneficial because many of those questions provided had been in my interviews. Especially give me five characteristics about yourself, where do you see yourself five years from now, why are you a better candidate than someone else, what is your biggest weakness, do you have any questions for us, why this job at this company, what do you do for fun. All of these questions I have been asked. Right before going to an interview I hate the feeling of uneasiness in your stomach "butterflies". I think one of the hardest question is name one of your weakness. I try to be honest with a weakness that I have, but after reading this article it is better to speak about a strength that could also be seen as weakness. At first, you will show that its bad to have this weakness in yourself but right after you will show the positive side of having it. Another thing that I need to work on is asking a smart question at the end for the interviewers, because in my experience with interviews I usually ask when do I find out that I got the job. Even though this is not a bad question compared to how much do I get paid...but I'm assuming that I got the job already. I hate answering the question why I'm better than other candidates that decide to work here usually I say cause I can speak two other languages than English which could definitely be a plus for any job. What do you do for fun,in my last interview I blurted out quickly what I did without thinking and the way I answered could have shown that I lose attention really quickly. Its important to take your time to think about every question.

Interviews are nerve-wracking, and it wouldn't be a surprise to blank out for a few seconds. During my senior year in high school, we had mock interviews and it was a good experience. I was nervous, even if the interviewers were my peers so I expected to be more nervous during a real interview. I've only had one interview for the job that I currently have, and it went very well. I expected to be asked the questions listed above so I was able to practice. Some questions they didn't ask me was #4, #7, and #10. Asking the interviewer questions is a little bit awkward for me, especially if it's about the pay. Overall, I really like this article as I've learned some things about interviews, and will be able to use it in the future.

I find it to be extremely helpful to prepare one with actual interview questions and possible answers. I'd wish I had read this before, it would have prepared me for those tricky questions. Most of the questions were asked in every single interview I've had. In my last interview I was not expecting to be asked "what do you do in your free time" so I froze for like 30 seconds and just said whatever came to my mind. I felt so awkward since I had never been asked that before, but thankfully that awkwardness did not stop them from hiring me. kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127390912362251229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-13131600890278130012016-10-17T11:13:45.398-07:002016-10-17T11:13:45.398-07:00This post is efficient because it is something tha...This post is efficient because it is something that everyone will eventually go through and will need to know how to do. Interviews can be very scary but once one practices and gets all their answers into place, it should go a lot smoother. It was helpful that they told us things to say and what not to say because we tend to say things without thinking that may not be appropriate for the interview. Personally, I usually struggle when they ask "tell me something about yourself" because I suddenly go blank and forget, so this would definitely be a question I would have to practice on. And I never thought about asking the interviewer questions in return, mainly due to the nerves, but I'll most likely start doing that so they can see that we are interested in what they have to offer as well.

In the past couple of years I interviewed with many ambulance companies and fired departments that asked almost all the questions on this list. I could make up anything on the spot and they would believe it. Not because I 100% understood their question, but because I had the confidence needed to answer the questions. When I was in the Army we had boards where we were interviewed for promotion. These boards didn't look for mastery at your job. They looked to see if the person was confident with their answers. Interviews are the same way. Learn what they are asking and answer it without a stutter.

In my 18 years of life I've gone through four interviews. Tarted with Kmart, Kohls, Jamba Juice, and then onto Texas Roadhouse. I have been asked every question on here except for eight and two. Maybe because these are just amateur jobs I wasent asked to walk through my resume but I think this post helped me realize that when I do eventually get my degree I need to have strong answers to these questions so that I stand out from the crowd. Reading through this prepares me even better for the next job that I want because I really need to make sure that my resume is built and has aspects that that job Is looking for specifically. Although these are all accurate questions these are not the only things that I have been asked while interviewing. I've had questions as simple as what is the car you see yourself driving if money wasent a issue. Before going into an interview I have learned you should just really evaluate yourself and make sure you are confident in everything you say because if you don't believe it how will they.tjaaayyy34https://www.blogger.com/profile/08381275784045231182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-38117390018964978002016-05-23T14:31:05.211-07:002016-05-23T14:31:05.211-07:00Honestly I have only had one interview and it felt...Honestly I have only had one interview and it felt like I was just having a normal conversation with the manager. I did what this article tells people to do which is to make everything brief and to point out good skills and traits that you have. The interview question that stood out to me was "what do you do on your free time?" because why does the interviewer really need to know what I do on my free time. My answer to question is that on my free time I like to read (manga ). The last question " do you have any questions for us?" is the hardest question because not many questions come to mind but after the interview is over and I go home, almost a million questions pop into my mind like when do I start and what should I wear/bring on my first day of work. I learned that to actually do well or get better at a job , you have to ask for help because you will usually not figure out things yourself.

We all remember our first job interview. Trying very hard not to seem so cocky with ourselves but also trying not to seem so insecure or doubtful of ourselves. I believe that knowing how to answer interview questions shows how determined an employee is in itself. Not just any random possible candidate is going to take the time out of their day to research how to properly answer questions that every single employer asks prior to hiring someone. Answering these questions with confidence shows preparation and determination. This article can turn any shmuck into a top 5 candidate for any job.

The biggest problem, as stated, is that nobody likes talking about other people. But if you merely mention that your own attributes, whatever they may be, make you more qualified than the other candidates, then it shouldn't be too big of an issue. I also liked the last question about interviewing the person who is interviewing you for a bit since it's important to know as much as you can about the company you're trying to work for.duarteryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09512635514668261182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-39481962964952450792016-05-18T12:11:21.783-07:002016-05-18T12:11:21.783-07:00This will be the kind questions I will be asked in...This will be the kind questions I will be asked in a job interview or when doing a survey.

The one that really stood out to me on this article and during my job interview was the question of "tell me about yourself". This stands out to me because throughout school we are told to not talk about ourselves but to talk about others. This avoidance of ourselves is actually quite hurtful because it puts us in an awkward place when we are asked about ourselves and it puts us in the place where we really have no idea how to talk about ourselves effectively. For me, I think it's great that in college we are primarily asked to write from our point of view and to give our opinions about something rather than to just write from a neutral position. This gives us more practice for the real world.
