Interview Tips To help you 
Ace your next interview,
Build Confidence &
Land That Coveted Position

A job interview is your one opportunity to brag about your many accomplishments without sounding pompous.  

Job interview preparation is necessary before each meeting.  The interview is the deciding stage of the hiring process where you have the opportunity to:

     arrow  Sell yourself as the best available choice in the market

     arrow  Share your knowledge of the company. Companies love for interviewees to study up on them.

    arrow  Explain away any weakness that might exist in your resume.

    arrow  If answering interview questions give you the jitters receiving interview coaching will all you to practice with mock scenarios


Another interview tip is to exude humble confidence.  The person meeting with you will probably be your boss if you are chosen for the position. 

Management like to see leadership qualities but they do not like feeling like their subordinates are smarter or more qualified than they are.  So show humble confidence to reassure the panel that you are trainable and willing to learn.

Implement the following tips for job interview preparation:

    1.  Aim to learn all that you can about the company and about the position for which you are applying.  This way when answering interview questions you will be more confident.

    2.  Write out answers to sample interview questions are in line with the job description and the company’s mission. 

    3.  During your job interviewing preparation talk with your interviewing coach about the best answers to questions regarding your work experience, your contributions and skills, and your goals for the future.

    4.  The “tell me about yourself” interview question stomps most people.  Make sure you prepare an answer for this that give a tiny glimpse into your personal life without revealing answers to illegal questions.  

For examples, it is illegal to ask your age but if you start your answer with, "For my 50th birthday my family took me to Spain".  You have voluntarily shared information that might not be favorable during the candidate review process.

Here are 7 most commonly asked job interview questions:

    1.  Tell us something about yourself.

    2.  What are your strengths and weaknesses?questions

    3.  Why are you leaving your current employer?

    4.  How would you handle this or that particular situation?

    5.  How do you handle mistakes committed by yourself as well as others?

    6.  Why did you choose this career?

    7.  What are your long-term career goals?
