![]() Does
anyone feel comfortable with interviews? I don't
think so, but those who feel confident and in
control will out shine those who are nervous and
skeptical.
Interview
question:. First be prepared.
Answering questions without umms and pauses.
Project your answers clearly and concisely.
This will
convey to the prospective employer you are
self-confident and project a positive image.
Listen closely to the interviewers questions.
React to what is being said, smile and show you are
interested in the questions. Make eye contact and
remember you can answer with body language as well as
spoken words. Before you go on an interview go
over your answers. Make a list of questions that
may be asked and be prepared in how you will answer
them. My list of questions that I keep and go
over before an interview is:
-
Tell
us about yourself.
-
What
is your short/long term work objective?
-
Where
would you like to be in 5 years?
-
Why
should we consider you rather then someone else
for the position?
-
What
is your greatest weakness/strength?
-
Why
did you leave your last position?
-
What
did you think of your last boss?
-
What
interests you about the position?
-
Can
you work under pressure?
-
How
would you describe your personality?
-
What
do you know about the company?
-
How
would you rate yourself in your technical
skills?
-
Why
do you want to work for the hiring company?
It
is important to be prepared for the answers. An
example, "What is your biggest weakness?"
Unprepared you may bolt out the first thing that comes
to mind, "I am always running late".
If you are prepared for the question you may be able
to turn a weakness question into a actual strength.
"One weakness is I tend to take on more then I
can handle, but in the long run they get completed on
time and I end up learning more." Add
to the list your own questions, when you go on an
interview and get asked a question that you are un
prepared for, write it down and the next time you will
know the answer!
If you
have any "questions" that have been asked
and would like to share them with other admins so
they may be prepared, please send them to susan@adminprof.com.
