Interview tips ...

[SARGE]

ok... 2 questions...


1) you have to INTERVIEW for the Air Force???


2) NZ has an AIR FORCE???

[YellowDog]

Good luck with the interview.

Like has already been said, you beed to come over as being interested in the posiition, very positive and enthusiastic over the future prospects. They want to know about you and how you will fit in with their organisation. Successful teamwork examples always go down well.

BTW: A white shirt would be better (ask a female however). Don't forget to iron it.

Good luck.

2) NZ has an AIR FORCE???

Perhaps for not that much longer. There are strong rumours that's what's left of it will be divided between the Navy and the Army: Seasprites and Orions to the Navy, the rest to the Army.

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.

Pretty damned good advice there!

I've just been for an interview for a casual writing position at a newspaper where I used to work as a photographer. The editor was there when I worked there and was stunned to hear what qualifications I've got now (probably more than him!) so I stand a pretty good chance of getting the job. He was already planning how I could provide cover for those on holiday or sick leave too. He asked if I had any layout experience and when I said I used InDesign but may need a little help until I am up to speed, the manager looked at him and said "it just gets better and better doesn't it?" I'll know by the end of the week so fingers crossed!

Good luck with your interview - with any defence job I'd say they'd be looking for team players who also show initiative and who aren't smart arses - they teach you that later!

I apologise if this is a repost, I have not read the whole thread, regardless..

I wish to add the submission...

Dress Sharp.
Iron your clothes.
Shine your shoes.
Check for loose threads, tuck your tags down.

Pride in your appearance says alot about a person.

KB Sure Fire Interview Tips

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.

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

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.

Be honest. Be yourself. Don't stare at her tits.
Without seeming like you are "gagging for it"

Ask her "whats up with your face?"
Lie your nuts off.

While more hookers and more beer are undoubtably good things, don't bring them up as career objectives.

Retain good eye contact while stroking yourself off at a steady deliberate pace

Dont mention the fact that you are colour blind and not sure if them LEDs in the cockpit are red or green. Dont mention the fact that you suffer from Vertigo, and above all else dont call the NCO's Sir....

I'd consider leaving the stroking myself off until after the interview, unless you have one of those remote controlled ones.

Good luck bro, with these tips, you should Ace it

No objectifying one liners? What kind of advice is this

NZ has an AIR FORCE???

(No credits given, it only encourages. You know who you are)
