job interview tips

http://www.jobinterviewquestions.org/questions/job-specific-questions.asp

When it comes to creating a resume can be easy but when having an interview is a whole new story. From experience i tell you the interviewers can tell when someone is nervous or when its their first time. When i had an interview i use to shake and use alot of ums in my sentence. of course that was first time being interviewed. these interviews csn seem easy but its nervwrecking however after many interviews i learned to be calm, show up on time and smile throughout your whole interviewe ( a smile can go along way just show some teeth).

like i mentioned before interviewers can tell when your not calm. try to speak clear and ums in your sentence. i would advice you to practice with your friends dont get fustrated if you dont get it right away but its a mattter of skills so be patient. Shoeing up on time is definetly a good thing for of course. Not only does it shows that yor are on time but that you respect their time. Lastly but not least is smiling now even though you feel like you suck at the interview the smile could just overshadow your answers. now dont smile creepish but in a way thats says thank you for taking you time out to speak to me. No one can't rea.lly turn a good smile down.

Now if these tips dont help well at least you tried but dont give up there many people out there who has the same issues its just a matter of overcoming them. But when you do walk out give a nice strong handshake , thank them and smile. but remember practice.

  1. First, I would like to thank you for sharing your experience with us. It was really helpful for me. I think been nervous and having uncomfortable feelings are normal in a job interview, especially for the first time. I remember last time in class; I was so nervous each time a student showed up in class and calls someone’s name. Even thought it is a pretend job interview, I had the same feelings that I had in my real first job interview. However, it is a good experience especially for students who never had job interviews before, so they can learn and avoid some mistakes in real ones.

  2. ya, mad ups for Jessica for being thoughtful,empathetic and thorough in her post.
    One tip that stuck with me about nervous-ness: Being nervous can be a good thing because it shows that you care and want to do a good job. So, instead of going, omg, I'm nervous, say to yourself: "OK, I'm nervous b/c I want to do a good job, so how can I prepare myself.
