Preparing For a Job Interview? Make Sure You Know This

We have tons of great advice for all job seekers, not just minorities, and all our information is FREE! Check it out at www.minorityjobs.net.

Interviews, for a lot of people, are the hardest part of a job search. Not to worry my friend, with a little preparation, you will ace the interview and then some. Just like when you take an exam, you have to study to be confident in getting a good grade. Interviews are no different, except not as nerve wrecking. It's rather simple to prepare for an interview and I have listed them for you.

Interview Preparation

First off, you have to have an idea of the questions you will be asked. Sit down and think about the questions you would ask if you were the one conducting the interview. As a note, you can't possibly anticipate every question, but think of the biggest ones. Doing this little exercise will provide you with a base to answer whatever the employer throws at you.

Key, first impressions are everything. When it comes to an interview, being presentable can make or break your chancing of getting the job. This includes showing up clean shaved, showered, haircut, in other words look professional. Just make sure you don't over do it (too much perfume).

Even though what you say will sell you the most, body language has a huge affect on you communication. An experienced interviewer can read your body language like a professional poker player. While you may not be able to hide the messages your body sends, you can still control the things you say.

  1. Yaah, Some folks don't realize how important a first impression can make. Even while waiting for an interview in an office reception area, your actions will be seen by passer bys and the receptionist.

    It's very likely that if you are loud or impolite while you are waiting there, that news of that will be passed on to the person who'll end up interviewing you.

    So be on your best behavior when going for that interview!
