job interviews are highly predictable. practise answering these questions and you're set:

 

 

What interests you about this job?

What applicable attributes / experience do you have?

Why are you the best person for the job?

Why should we hire you?

What do you know about this company?

Why do you want to work for this organization?

What challenges are you looking for in a position?

What can you contribute to this company?

Are you willing to travel?

Is there anything I haven't told you about the job or company that you would like to know?

What are your goals for the next five years / ten years?

How do you plan to achieve those goals?

What are your salary requirements - both short-term and long-term?

they spinal tap to check for things like meningitis, not drugs. do you have any idea how expensive it would be for them to pay for a spinal tap everytime they were thinking of hiring somebody ?

The questions you ask them are just as important as the ones they are asking you...

 

(In no particular order....)

 

How would you describe the work environment here?

What kind of management style do you supervisors follow?

How will I go about training for my position? Is there a formal training period or will I just learn as I go?

What kind of of promotional strcxutures and opportunities exist within the compnay?

What sort of dress code is there? (i.e. what kind of opportunities for growth are there for a new hiree down the line?0

Does management encourage suggestions and input from junior employees?

What kind of employee benefit package is available?

 

Etc.....think up your own.

 

Asking questions like this signifies a real interest in the company. They're thinking "wow, he asking us all this? he must be interested!"

 

Another tip is that when answering their questions, keep it simple, keep it short. Sometimes providing too much information can be a bad thing. Avoid diarrhea of the mouth.

 

BE RELAXED. This is as much as an audition of who you are as person as it is for your job skills. Sure, you can readily tell them all your elelvant job and academic skills but if you come off like a robot, who is going to want to work with someone like that for 8 hours a day?

 

if you smoke pot, I suggest you stop now. 99% of corporate places have piss testing done. You shouldn't smoke pot anyway...it's for dirty hippies.

 

When you go to the interview, have a list of references and a hard copy of your resume to bring with you. Always ask if there is any additional information/materials they would like you to bring with you. Being prepared makes you look like you have your act together.

 

Groom accordingly, wear a suit, polish those shoes, shave, brush thine teeth, cover tattoos, take out any piercings....sorry.......you need to check your unique snowflake individuality at the door if you want to make real money 95% of the time in this world.

 

That's about all the advice i have right now. you can PM me if you have anything else you need answered. I have been working in corporate environments for years and i know all the ins and outs.
