Interviews are part of most people' s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.

Don' t mistakenly think that your interviewers want to know about you. They are interested only in that small part of you that can or can' t do the job they have advertised.

sadly , many of us are so flattered by questions such as "Tell me about your strengths" that we take it as an invitation to chatter and make fools of ourselves.

Never think that lots of enthusiasm is enough. sit down with a pen , paper and the job description ，and work out the skills and qualities they are looking for.

Itemize your technical or professional skills as they match the requirements of the job. Then recall an incident to illustrate each of these skills. When you have done this

, you will be in a position to begin justifying your ability and suitability.

Remember that very few questions are lightly asked.

If your interviewers are interviewing more than a couple of candidates , they have probably worked up a list of eight to ten questions to put to each person. In well-organized businesses , they will be making marks in their notebooks as you give your replies. An imprecise answer will show that you do not appreciate the value of the question. s0 think through how you can give strong

, specific answers to questions such as "Can you work well in a team or on your own or in a small business?"

Avoid giving them reasons to exclude you. You want to appear the sort of person who will help out in a crisis. make the tea sometimes even if it is not your job. be tolerant of others. whatever their age ,sex , race or religion ,

and be easy to manage. Don't attack your previous employer as it suggests you might attack your now one.

Try asking them a few questions. If you ask what sort of projects you would be likely to start work on ,you might then get back some very useful feedback. If they start opening Up

to you , you can get into a more equal conversation and may have an opportunity to show that you can deal with the sort of situation they are describing.

Part B

［A］ You may have to impress the company HR representatives as well.

HR reps are typically trained to ask very specific and personal questions,

like what salary you expect and what you’ve made in the past.

They might ask you about your impressions of the company and the people who

interviewed you. They might also ask if you have other offers. If so,

chances are good that they are willing to compete for you.

But if you say that you have other offers,

be prepared to back it up with the who, what and when,

because they might challenge you.

The HR reps are also the people who will conduct or arrange reference and background checks.

They might have the final say.

［B］ Besides management, you might also interview with one or more of your future coworkers.

Regardless of the questions they ask, what they most really want to know is how well you’

ll fit into the team, if you’ll cause them more work instead of less,

and if they should feel threatened by you. When answering,

be eager enough to show that you are a good team player and will pull your load,

but not so eager as to appear to be a back- stabbing ladder climber!

［C］ Always research a company before you interview, and remember that attire,

body language and manners count, big time. Try to avoid common mistakes.

You may think that this is common sense, but crazy stuff really happens!

［D］ Job interviewing is one of the most popular career topics on the Web.

But no career advisor can tell you exactly what to say during a job interview.

Interviews are just too upclose and personal for that.

About the best that career advisors can do,

is to give you some tips about the typical questions to expect,

so you can practice answering them ahead of time. But,

while there are many canned interview questions, there are few canned answers.

The rest is up to you.

［E］ Be prepared to attend a second interview at the same company,

and maybe even a third or fourth. If you’re called back for more interviews,

it means that they’re interested in you. But, it doesn’t mean you’re a shoo- in. Most likely, they are narrowing the competition, so keep up the good work!

［F］ To put you somewhat at ease, many interviewers really don’t know how to interview effectively.

Frontline interviewers are typically managers and supervisors

who have never been or are barely trained in interviewing techniques.

They’re a little nervous too, just like you. Some don’t even prepare in advance.

This makes it easier for you to take control of the interview,

if you have prepared. But in controlling an interview, it’s not a good idea to try to dominate.

Instead, try to steer it toward landing the job.

［G］ After interviewing, immediately send a thank you letter to each of your interviewers.

It’s professional and expected, and might even be the deciding factor in your favor.

［H］ Remember, it’s a two- way street. It’s the employer’s chance to judge you,

but it’s also very much your chance to judge the employer. In fact,

if you handle yourself well and ask the right questions,

you’ll put the interviewer in the position of selling the company to you.

If this happens, you’re probably doing well.
