first interview


Question Posted Saturday July 22 2006, 10:07 pm

Hey i have my first interview in the next couple days, and im really nervous. I have no idea what to say or what questions they're going to ask. Since this is my first job do you think that i'll get hired? Because i have little work experience? Any piece of advice would be very helpful!!! thanks

They'll probably ask you about yourself and why you want the job so read up on the company history and come up with a good answer. They'll ask you about experiences you've had and about your character. The fact that you haven't had any experience will only effect the types of questions you're asked. Just keep in mind a few situations when you've "been frustrated with someone and how you've handled it". Basically, they're just trying to get a feel of what type of a person you are. Wear nice clothes to make a good impression and that means NO jeans. DRess pants and a cute blouse. Change the formality of your outfit according to the type of environment it is. Be polite, don't fidget and remember to sell yourself but don't exaggerate.

no matter how nervous you are try your best to appear confident. dont chew gum while in the interview. when you walk in introduce yourself and shake the persons hand. dress in a nice manner. most importantly be on time, 15 mins. early would be nice. two of the most common questions that are asked at interviews and that i find hard to answer w/o much thought are to state your best qualitys and why the person should hire you. hope i helped!!!

Hey, everyone has to start somewhere. I'm sure they will hire you if the inter view goes well. Some questions they may ask:
-How are you going to get to work
-Do you smoke/drink
-Have you had any past history with the law
-Have you ever been fired and if so, for what
I have never had a job, much less had to go to an interview, but those are a few questions people have told me they ask. Hope I help.

I'm not sure what job position you are applying for [which would have been a little more helpful.] I'd suggest searching the "most common interview questions" on google. Look over them & think about what you would say if they were to ask you that question. Major ones might be: "Why would you be good for this job?" or "Why do you want this job?" At this point, you could explain your experience & desire to do whatever you are applying for. They may ask you for your strongest & weakest qualities. For your strongest, you could probably give qualities that contribute to your job. [Example: Waitressing job. You're good at memorizing, communicating with customers, & working well under stress.] The weakest qualities is always the hardest, but whatever you do, don't say "I'm a perfectionist." Chances are - they've heard it before. Be a little more creative with your answer without hurting yourself too much. If you send me a message in my inbox on what you're applying for, I could probably help you a little more by giving you more specific questions they might ask & what to do/wear to the interview. Good luck! :)
