Most of the store often life working a few odd jobs. This is for the reason that we need money to pay for those things that we want. As we become adults, we no longer have someone else to depend on for our needs aside from ourselves. Unfortunately, there are those who still can't survive on their own or independently.
Most of the time, we want a job that pays good with not much work. As soon as you find your ideal job, you immediately submit your resume and hope that you can get an interview. Thus, how would you leave a good impression to your employer upon interview.
The first and most obvious thing in an interview is what you wear. Most jobs dictate that you wear a suit and tie when you're being interviewed. Of course you don't have to be formal when it comes to positions such as construction personnel or other manual labor jobs.
If you going to wear a suit, make sure that it fits properly. Make sure you wear a complementary tie. First impressions are important, and especially in a job interview. You'll definitely want to show your best on this scenario.
You should also have an idea about company's demographics when you're trying to look good in an interview. Research is always important. Get as much information on you can about the company that you're doing an interview for. What are the goals of the company? Their brand should be something that you know easily. Know what they build or manufacture. What is the company slogan? Of course, you should also be acquainted with the big shots in the company such as the managers, president and others.
Doing this means you are comfortable with the people in the organization they're about to ask you questions. You can include some of the information that you learned in the answers to some of the questions they may ask.
Next, you want to be aware of the kind of questions they will be asking. A common question in an interview is "why do you want to work with us?". Make sure you have a ready answer that will include a little bit of information about the company you learned. You should also prepare yourself for more personal questions such as your weaknesses. Sometimes, interviewers ask these things to get your personal reaction or emotional response to such question. By that time, you should have already be calm and speak of your great answer. Try to imagine yourself doing the interview in front of a mirror and think of good ways how you would say your answers. If asked about your weaknesses, try to think of those common weaknesses that others have so you won't have to be too hard up thinking of your own deficiencies.
They might ask you about your job experience. Should you have no other work experience yet, you can just specify your key skills and expertise and relate how it can help in your job. Try not to assume or make up information which are not based on facts. Be sure to talk only when asked.
After the interview is over, thank the person. Regardless of what happens, it is always good to thank the person who is interviewing you for the position. The simple gratitude will leave a good impression towards work and will let them give you better chances in getting a work.
