GROUP INTERVIEW! JITTERS.


Question Posted Wednesday December 17 2008, 5:51 pm

18/f. so long story short the job i am working at now is planning to fire me i guess after the holidays (they dont know i know) but i am one of the best employees, its just because the manager is a complete d*bag haha and favors people, and only sees what he wants to see. Anyways, i started looking for a new job and my brother has connections to to a bank because he works there and he is pretty high up. I applied there for a teller position (there is only one position open :|) and a lady from Human Resources called me for a phone interview today. It went well, i think but now i have to go to a group interview in a week and a half with like three managers and there will be other candidates there too and i am just so nervous. It's three hours long!! I always get nervous going to an interview, who doesnt? but it's like if i dont get this job, i will have no job. I also want to work at a bank because im going to college for business management so it would be a good opportunity for me to work there and good money. I dont want to mess it up, i will admit i let my nerves get to me during interviews and sometimes i freeze up and dont know what to say or i stutter, or repeat myself which i know isnt good. I know i have to dress nicely, and be there early but anything else i can do to help me become not so nervous and more comfortable. I just dont want to mess it up, i just dont know what to do!!

Well, what you can do is try to get some sleep the night before. When meeting your potential employer always have good eye contact, also have a good firm hand shake ( not a death grip). Make sure you dress appropriately and also make sure that your breath is fresh.

Answer each questions as thoroughly as you can, it's o.k. to be nervous but try to let the confidence shine through. Even if you have never done the job before, let the employer know that you take directions well and that you are an articulate worker. It is also o.k. to let a bit of personality and charm shine. Always sit up straight and use intellectual words (they don't have to be big, they just have to make sense. Example: conversate, is not a word)

Last but not least be positive, smile and at the end of the interview say something along the lines of " Thank you for your time" or " Thank you for having me." I hope that this helps, GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
