...The Best Answers to Tough Interview Questions Tell me about yourself. This is really more of a request than a question. But these few words can put you on the spot in a way no question can. Many quickly lose control of the interview during the most critical time- the first five minutes. This is not the time to go into a lengthy history or wander off in different directions. Your response should be focused and purposeful. Communicate a pattern of interests and skills that relate to the position in question. Consider your response to this question as a commercial that sells your autobiography. Provide an answer that includes information about where you grew up, where you went to school, your initial work experience, additional education and special training, where you are now, and what you intend to do next. One of the most effective ways to prepare for this question is to develop a 60-second biographic sketch that emphasizes a pattern of interests, skills, and accomplishments. Focus your response around a common theme related to your major interests and skills. Take, for example, the following response, which emphasizes computers. "I was born in Canton, Ohio and attended Lincoln High School. Ever since I was a teenager, I tinkered with computers. It was my hobby, my passion, and my way of learning. Like most kids I enjoyed computer games. When my folks gave me a computer as a reward for making honor roll my sophomore year, I mastered DOS, Windows, and WordPerfect within six...

...choose to use structured interviews when conducting their research (20 marks) Many sociologists choose to use structured interviews when they are conducting their research, because by having a structured interview there are a set of prepared questions that are close-ended and already have pre-coded answers. One reason why researchers choose to use structured interviews is because they are cheap, quick and easy to do. This is because by going out and actually trying to interview the public it is quicker to get a response from the participants and also its quicker to find out whether or not someone is willing to take the time and answer the participants questions. It is also cheaper as you don’t need to spend a lot of time to get resources together in order to conduct this researcher as you can just go out into a town and stop people to ask whether or not they have some spare time to answer some questions. This also makes it easier for the researcher as they just need to have questions ready in order to be able to ask participants what they want to know. Also by using structured interviews researchers are able to get large numbers of people in order to get a higher response rate as they are able to interview more people. By having large numbers of people to interview researchers will be getting representative data, this means that the answers which the researchers get will be generalizable. However by having a higher response rate from the interviews will not be getting very...

...Successful Interview Practices A job interview can create anxiety and nervousness in anybody sitting across the table from the person who could have a serious impact on their future. A panic wells up inside a person as they shake, sweat, lose their train of thought, or ramble uncontrollably. The stress that accompanies an interview is well placed however. From the moment a person walks through the interviewer’s office door, they are being evaluated on a number of things including the way they walk, their shoes, clothes, posture, and even physical attractiveness. And if being judged was not enough to make anyone panicky, the fact that the interview could potentially be a changing point in the interviewee’s life is enough to push anyone into a mild psychotic break. The good news is that with proper preparation and some tips and tricks from the industry, anyone can learn how to have a less stressful, more successful interview. What to avoid in an interview There are things that one can do or not do, say or not say in an interview that will ruin any chance of them getting the job.

When you get to the interview, you are trying to close the sale. The most effective way to close a sale is to show the buyer how you meet their needs.

...©http://www.CareerRide.com Quick tips to answer the Personal Interview questions ! ! ! As you go for a personal interview, always expect the question "Tell us something about yourself". Go prepared to answer it. Understand the requirements of the role properly and keep your answer ready for "Why does this role interest you?" To judge your stability in the personal interview, the interviewer might ask a direct question like "Why do you think should we take you?" Go prepared to answer it. Prepare your answer to the question the interviewer might ask about your strengths and weaknesses in the interview. Take the word weaknesses as liberally as possible. Analyze the qualities that you required to achieve something big. Talk your latest achievement in the interview. When asked about mistakes, mention the one from long past. Never approach the interviewer as a "Job Beggar". Go as a "Problem Solver". Answer in positive when you are asked if you are speaking to some other companies for your job search. Show your flexible attitude during the personal interview. This can be done by being open to relocation. If you have stayed in your last job for too long or have switched the jobs very frequently, have an answer ready to the queries that might appear during the personal interview. Demonstrate the keenness to learn if you do not have all the required experience. Never talk bad about your last jobs or employers. Sound ambitious but stable. Sound like a team player but be open to take the...

...The Big Interview Lesson 1 – Job Interview Fundamentals In this lesson, I learned about the many types of interviews and how to approach them all. I’ve done just about every interview listed. With the one-on-one, group, phone and video interviews, I did well on them. I also did well on the panel interview I had 2 years ago. I was afraid but I just treated it like it was a simple one-on-one but made sure I interacted with both interviewers. I have to remember that I’m in the drivers’ seat when it comes to interviewing. I will use this information obtain the goal of going in for the kill and take the job you so rightly deserve and qualify for. Lesson 2 – Job Interview Best Practices and Common Mistakes In Lesson 2, I’ve learned about the best practices, mistakes and what to wear on the interview. Being concise, confident, and interested are must haves on an interview. Staying on the message/topic whilst answering questions will also help you along in the interview process as well. Be prepared, be on time, and always be respectful because first impressions are everything in an interview. Avoid the 3 big mistakes that people are liable to make during an interview: don’t be late, be sure to do research on the company and position for which you have applied and lastly don’t avoid questions. I also learned about answering inappropriate/illegal questions. I never experienced that in an interview but now I know what to look out for and how to handle myself. I will be utilizing...
