Job Interviews

Ok, i was emailed with a question about job interviews, even though i do not specify in that field as it's a fashion blog but if you come to think about it your appearance is important in a job interview.

"Why are you looking for another job?
When answering this question:
Keep your answer brief - don't go into a lot of detail (the briefer the response-the more convincing the answer)
Do not knock your last employer, at this stage or any other.

"What sort of job are you looking for?"
Every interviewer hopes that the next candidate to walk through that door will be the answer to his search. So many candidates sabotage their own chances by answering the above question from their own point of view rather than from that of the company's/interviewer's. The company is only interested in how you can satisfy its needs and match its job requirements, your needs are secondary importance.
The best way to answer this question is to follow on from the "Tell me about yourself" answer and transfer those abilities into discussing the job in question and the contribution you can make to it

“What is your greatest weakness?”
Look at your list of weaknesses and relate the weakness (excess) back to your strengths 'I like to get things done quickly.... sometimes I get impatient but I'm learning how to overcome this.' Don’t think you can get away with announcing proudly that you have no weaknesses, the interviewer will not be impressed. And don’t declare that you’re greatest weakness is that you like to work too hard. The interviewer has heard them all before and won’t take you seriously.

“What do you not like to do?”
A very loaded question. Under no circumstances list tasks and responsibilities that you dislike, you’ll rule yourself out of the running at record speed. A positive reply might be; ‘I'm the kind of person who does whatever is necessary to get the job done. When I do run into something disagreeable, I try to do it first and get it behind me. I have no particular dislikes’.

THESE ARE JUST BASIC QUESTIONS THEY ARE MOST LIKELY TO ASK, PREPARE BEFORE HAND AND ALWAYS SIT UPSTRAIGHT AND NOD AT THE RIGHT TIMES TO ASSURE THEM YOU ARE INTERESTED AND PAYING ATTENTION. ALSO I SUGGEST PREPARING SOME OF YOUR OWN QUESTIONS
TO ASK.

Dress to Impress, the first impression has to be a impressive one. Always opt for a shirt and tie nothing less. How you're dressed can also determine the outcome of the interview and remember not to forget your manners (handshake, hello etc)

I will be posting clothess you could wear for the interview in my next post tommorow! So keep a look out for that.

HOPE THIS HELPS! and good luck with the interview
