Job interview questions hints

If you’re calm and self-assured, you have all chances to succeed, but one more important point is to be prepared for job interview questions and take into consideration the following things:

1. First impression the strongest. That little piece of time, may be only shoot you got...
2. Be on time. Answer following question: wold you rather wait in car for 10 min or be late?
3. Let interviewer decide where the interview goes. Answer the questions you are asked, be precise and confident. If you answer qestions with nothing but “yes”, “no” or “I’m not sure”, you can not expect the interview to be successful. All information you tell should be short, but still contain answers on all necessary questions.
4. Be honest. Information could be easily verified during the interview by asking some practical questions. Also, interviewer may contact your former boss with some questions.
5. Provide your interviewer a constructive analysis of your previous activities, don’t be afraid to describe your weak points, surely you shouldn’t emphasize them, but don’t avoid the question at all.
6. When the interviewer is satisfied, it’s your turn to ask questions. You are advised to ask questions about the company you’re applying to, question about your future place in it, questions about career opportunities and so on. The problem of salary and benefits should be mentioned as well, but don’t emphasize it too much.
7. After the interview is over, the employer is most likely to say that you’ll be contacted to inform you on the decision made. You can expect that you will get a call in both cases whether the answer is positive or negative, but you can specify the point and ask question about result timing.
