I think my problem is, I do roll with the punches. But while listening and everything i forget what questions i had to ask...or questions that might've came up during the interview. I never ask enough questions. So i figured this time i'll be a little more prepared.

Most questions you get asked on a interview are the same from place to place...so i pretty much have everything down. But i would like to work on some other things if it can help.

 

I agree, but having a structured way of explaining it is a must! Situation before, what you did and how you went about to choose the the actions, and the outcome. i think that a good way to put your point across.... and be honest, i even told my one of my employers that i was kinda of nervous. Then they knew how i felt and the put my at eas they too were calmer after i admited to being nervous.

 

Definitely take notes and a have a few questions jotted down before you go in. It shows that you're interested, proffessional, and organized - all good qualities.

Also think about a few difficult situations you've had a jobs in the past, and how you handled them. It seems like interviewers (especially in large corporations) always ask questions like:

"Tell us about a time when you had to deal with an irate client and how you handled it."
or
"Give us an example of a situation in which you were forced to learn a new skillset in order to complete the task assigned to you."

I always seem to get these types of questions.

 

Don't let it take away from your focus on the interview, but jotting down little points for a question or talking is a good idea. I usually do a little research on the company beforehand and ask a question or two about them.

 

Yea, Im going to go to Staples and pick up one of those fake black leather folders with a place for a notepad and where i can put Resumes and referrences and things like that.

They have some good questions there

 

WTF?!? sorry wrong thread

 

Agreed with the note taking and walking in with questions. Also, ask the interviewer why they chose to work for that company. Maybe they have some good reason to work there or some funny story to tell you. Then you maybe able to pick up on that and relate. Make yourself look like your one of them...basically become friends with them. They will remember you and will like you more. Remember, they want to know how you will fit in their company "culture."

 

in an interview for an investment company i was asked to date what my greatest accomplishment was so far in my life. i was 19 at that point and after thinking a few seconds i dawned on me, the only thing i had done to that point was graduate highschool... hahaha. so that was my answer. I got the job.
