[1vanvan1]

So, Tomorrow I am going for a rather important interview.

I have just gone and got a nice blue shirt, tie, belt, Got my black pants and shoes.

Just wanting to know some other tips to help me succeed.

Thanks!

Relax, be honest, be yourself. Don't try and make up answers to any questions - if you don't have an answer or dont know the answer then say so.

That pdf I sent you covers off every question I was ever asked, the best thing you can do is read over them and have honest answers in mind.

They are going to be looking for teamwork/leadership experience, a willingness to learn and succeed.

IMO you can't 'fail' the interview - they just want to make sure you're not too much of a retard

If you are being interviewed by a woman, stare at her tits.

Women like to be appreciated.

Tell her to "drop a couple pounds, Helga!". She'll appreciate constructive criticism, also.

Make eye contact when you shake their hand(s).

Be genuinely interested in the interviewer and the company. Do a little homework so you know what they do and can ask about it.

Don't try too hard - Like R6_kid says don't make shit up. You'll be spotted a mile away. There's nothing wrong with saying "I don't know but I would guess...." or "I haven't come across that but my experience suggests....".

If you don't understand the question get clarification before going off on some tangent.

And always remember jobs are like women. If you're gagging for it it's a turn-off.

Ask plenty of questions your self, make sure they a relivant, write them down, it will show you have been thinking. If you have any negative B/S come up before the interview try to mentaly block it out till after, get yourself into a positive frame of mind, and get there early, waiting 20 to 30 mins is better than getting there 2 mins late.
Do a little research if you can, the more you know about them the better questions you can ask. finaly dont be a cocky ass, a little humility goes a long way.

Keep your pants on during the interview.

Don't wear your slippers.

Get to the interview building a bit early so you can release your tension with a quick toss in the bathroom.

Have a shave.

But seriously, unless it's industry related or the interviewer has a picture of a motorcycle on the wall don't mention bikes.

And get on the internet and find out something about the company you are hoping to work for - I cannot believe how many people have turned up for a interview and when I ask what do you know about XXXX they know nothing.......

Good interview tips too.

Be honest. Be yourself. Don't stare at her tits.

Without seeming like you are "gagging for it", tell the interviewer(s) that you actually really want the job. Save it for the end when they usually ask if there's anything else you'd like to know.

[CookMySock]

Ask her "whats up with your face?"

Lie your nuts off.

1. Make eye contact with everybody on the interview panel. Start with the person who asked you the question and rotate your focus during your answer.

2. Show energy and enthusiasm. Sitting forward in your chair or resting your arms on the table in front of you will help your body language.

3. Don't provide your life history in response to the first question. It's an interview. There will be more than one question. Better to keep your answers short but full. If the panel wants to explore for more detail, they'll ask another question.

4. Many interview techniques are designed to discover your competencies in relation to the role being filled. Provide good examples in relation to the question. Examples don't need to be work based. If you've got good examples from your out-of-work world don't be afraid to use them. If you can't think of something straight away, don't be afraid to pause and think. If you can't think of anything straight away, don't be afraid to say something like "I'm sorry, I can't think of an example right now. Can we please come back to that question later?"

5. Don't beg. It's demeaning.

6. Don't say "I really want this job" unless somebody asks you a relevant question (refer to 5. above).

7. Shake hands with all members of the panel at the beginning and again at the end of the interview. Introduce yourself to each person as you shake hands. Again make eye contact.
