Right, I am at wits end with job hunting  I have had enough. Since October I have had more than 10 interviews, mostly in the administration department. I try and go for the trainee jobs, but havent found much. I suppose my lack of experience and young, tender age let me down Anyway I have an interview tomorrow morning, and I see this as my last shot. If I don't get the job I am just going to go for any old job and I don't care what it is (Nobody tell me to go back to college as that really does not appeal to me. Once a week or once a month would be ok though). So does anybody have any tips for me and my interview?  It would be much appreciated, Fank yooooou. (and yes I am fairly fussy) |

Hard to say really as we're all different in interviews/get nervous etc.
But just be yourself, make sure you know about the company where you're going for the interview. And I always write down some questions to ask, as whenever they come to that bit at the end I can never remember what I was going to ask and if they've already answered it, they won't mind you doing that, it shows you're keen!
And don't waffle (not saying you do, just don't do it). And make yourself sound really good and keen etc.
Good luck.

Enthusiasm is the key. Be enthusiastic about the most mundane of tasks asked of/ suggested to you and you will inspire all of those around you.
If all else fails - media sales!

If all else fails - media sales! Heaven forbid Mark! Sade, make sure you do some research on the company beforehand, ie: on the net tonight. Just be yourself, as a lot of interviewers can be just as nervous as you will be (I know I was the first few times I interviewed people), and as Bedford said, prepare some questions for them as they will no doubt ask at the end. The main thing to remember is they're not there to trip you up or catch you out, they just want the right person for the job. Good luck. |
