if you had 1 tip for a job interview what would it be

[zulander]

AS the title suggests i have a job interview tomos and have been doing a bit research and revising, writing out answers to possible questions but what would your one must do/have tip be for someone going for a new job

[alsenior]

look smart. first impressions are the key

[Russ]

dont lie, if you dont know, say "i dont know but i can get back to you with the answer if you want me too" but dont say that about 20 times

[schmunk]

Do your research - who are they, what do they want from you?

[staffsMike]

No one likes the interview process..even the interviewers in my experience.. Just be confident and yourself..as already stated..don't lie.

They will probably ask questions about your cv so answer those but try to bring something new to interview not just regurgitating whats on your cv. They already have the facts they are just trying to get an idea of what you're like in person and how you react and fit into the work place..

Try to relax, firm handshakes (don't break any bones lol) and smile if you can.

EDIT: thats one..isnt it?

[Steven W]

Smile and be enthusiastic (good luck!)

[Iain M]

research the company, and be yourself


good luck!

[Guy]

do some background research on the company/job, so that when they ask if you have an questions a) it looks good that you are taking an active interest, and b) so you dont look like a complete and utter tit! Also do not mention anything along the lines of how much will I be getting etc etc

And as has also been mentioned dress nice and smart and ul b fine

[menthel]

Don't make jokes about spanking. It may make the interviewer laugh but it will NOT get you the job. And that is from personal experience.

[OV3RCLOCK3R]

Look smart, eye contact but dont stare, lol and smile

[OilSheikh]

Dress smartly.

A tucked in Half-sleeved shirt , uni colour - possibly cream or gray or a shade of blue. Trousers and shoes. Btw, make sure clothes are ironed.

[JPreston]

Indeed. Make sure you wear both trousers and shoes. Even though it is summer...

[Nacrisa]

I hear not slagging off your previous company is a good thing to bear in mind!

[Moby-Dick]

from personal experience...

do your flies up

[Nick F]

Always prepare for questions you don't expect to get asked.

People that interview at my company always ask odd questions to get round the normal answers people give. This way they get to know you better.

[Clunk]

Remove flippers.
