i have my first ever job interview in a couple of days and im really nervous!

what should i expect to be asked and how should i answer?

Answer 1

Feeling nervous is absolutely fine! But you have to dress smart, talk smart and act smart. Earning money is selling yourself......so polish up yourself and show you are the best candidate.......and they will offer you job.

Dont forget to prepare at least 3 good questions to ask.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Even if you are nervous, act confident. They wont hire people who are shy. Don't go nuts if you don't get the job, try a second time or move on.

Answer 3

Please check out the background of the company before you go for the interview and read up on some interview preparation techniques

Answer 4

Keep things in perspective. A job interview is a two way process. Make the most of the opportunity to sell yourself effectively by being sufficiently prepared and use the time to find out more about the company. The interviewer is trying to determine if you are a good fit for the job and you are there to not only prove you are, but to determine if they are a good match for you. Ask questions relating to the job.

Other things to consider include: (1) prepare answers to common questions and to questions directly related to qualities you think the employer is looking for to fulfil the position successfully. For example, if the job description asks for someone with excellent communication skills, prepare a story that shows you have those skills. A lot of interviewers believe past behaviour is a good indicator of future performance and they will look to test your behaviour in various situations related to qualities they are looking for in an applicant; (2) presentation and grooming - first impressions do count so make sure you dress appropriately; (3) don't be late; (4) make sure you engage the interviewer and use eye contact.

Remember that "life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage" (Anais Nin) so understand and face your fears, prepare and practice sufficiently and make that moment count.

Answer 5

have a think about how you will answer the questions.  expect stuff like

why do you want to work here?

why should we hire you?

what are your good/bad qualities?

where do you see yourself in 5/10 years time?

be honest.  if they ask your bad qualities and you say you don't have any they will think you are either arrogant or a lier.

dress appropriately for the type of job you're going for and look clean and tidy.

its ok to be nervous- it means you're humble, but don't let it get the better of you.

good luck!

Answer 6

Prepare this question
