Interview Quick Tips
USA Today has a web site with helpful Q& A concerning interviews what they might ask you during an interview and what you can ask them during an interview. These questions, excerpted from From Here to There by Larry Stuenkel, are similar to what you can expect during a real job interview. The suggested replies aren't intended to give you one correct answer. Rather, the answers should stimulate your thinking.
Get to Work!
by Carole Martin (Monster Interview Coach)
Unemployed? Then your job right now is to find a job. Don't let personal distractions keep you from putting in the hours necessary to continue your search. Think of this as going to work. Research companies, industries and positions. Knowledge is power, and power gives you confidence -- something you'll need to succeed in interviews.
Prove What You Could Do
by Carole Martin (Monster Interview Coach)
Always put a positive spin on your answers to difficult questions. If you lack a particular skill or don't know a certain computer program, be sure to emphasize how quickly you learn. Give an example of a time when you were able to get up to speed in a similar situation. Companies are interested in people who can hit the ground running.
Sell Yourself
by Carole Martin (Monster Interview Coach)
Interviewing is about selling:
- The product you are selling is you. Give them reasons to buy.
- Tell them what you can do for them. Emphasize what you can bring to the company, department and position.
- Convince them that your product is better than the competition's.
