Quoted: I have a job interview today at 3:00 with Hospice as an IT specialist. This is my first interview since I graduated on Saturday. Anybody have any last minute interview tips/hints? Get a hair cut, have a tight shave, give a firm handshake, smile, remember the interviewer's name and use it once or twice in the correct place, know about the company a bit, watch your body language. It's sort of like flirting for a date with a girl you want to date. |

Make sure to mention how much you like guns and how if you had the money, you'd buy a new one every week, especially assault rifles!!! [}:D] Or, you could just say how excited you are to be in a position to use your skills to help an organization like Hospice, and how much you enjoy doing the sort of things that they need done... |

1.Be 10 minutes early for the interview. 2.Have at least a couple of writing devices. Pens,pencil, highlighter. 3.Bring a fresh copy of any information you have already submited to them. 4.Bring a note pad to write on. Stress the fact you can teach yourself and how you can work unsupervised but you do enjoy working with other. Good luck |

Haven't interviewed alot but do interview alot so I can tell you what impressises me. Confidence in the ability to do the job is foremost. Eagerness is good but too eager is scary. The what ever it takes answer is best for almost everything concerning are you willing. Honesty and the willingness to say I don't know but will learn. Looking them straight in the eye when you want to make a point. Best advice period is practice interviewing. Get with your mom, buddy, whatever and pretend the thing through. A good headhunter does this as standard practice. It will give you confidence and teach you the ability to think under interview pressure. Dress for the job. A laxadasical dress shows a laxidasical desire. Do just enough to show you went out of your way but not overboard and that depends on the work enviroment. A tux is way over while a T shirt is way under. If they work in business casual a tie is good and even a sport coat but a suit may be pushing. If business casual with a tie is how they work a sport coat it good or a suit. Just rules of thumb. Good luck and forget the little train engine just think "I know I can, I know I can.". TJ |
