I was taught to always dress as nicely as possible no matter the position :dunno: I guess it shows that you're serious.

 

tons of cologne ( makes a really good first impression)

as much facial hair and piercings you can get! ( older ppl love face piercings!)









j/k good luck on it tho!

 

Oh yeah, it also doesn't hurt to pick up a really hot prostitute and bring her with you. Make sure to leave your fly unzipped and lots of slutty red lipstick on your face.

 

Not necessarily. Jeans and a dress shirt can come off as nice as a pair of slacks with a shirt tucked in and a tie. Its not so much about how you look, but how confident you can appear during the interview and impress them.

Answering things with "uh", "hmm" won't impress anyone, but giving good confident answers will.

Being clean shaven, hair done and NO cologned or smells is a good thing too. A lot of offices can be anti-smell due to people having allergies so you'd win some points there too.

 

i would probably get drunk as fawk before hand also!!!! makes it a much less stressful experience for you. hell maybe even take a bottle of jack in and ask if interviewer would like a shot or two!

 

My job is to get people jobs so I like to think I know a thing or two about it.

Do some research about the company before you go in. That way when they explain something or other about something they do you can chime in with "oh like I saw on your website" or something along those lines.

Answer their questions in as much detail as you can. Use examples from your prior experience to show how you accomplished similar things to what they are asking. Don't evade their questions or seem like you are holding information back.

When they ask you if you have any questions, get as much info from them as you can about salary, benefits, hours, etc. Shows that you're seriously considering the job. Companies like to hire people who seem like they want the job. Also lets them know you want to make sure the whole situation is a fit for you and you probably have other options on the table (don't tell them that though).

Ask them what their timeframe for making a decision is, and set a time to follow up. That way you're not left thinking when might be a good time to call and follow up.

 

If you don't have any prior experience in the field, do a lot of research. Read a trade publication, search online, mention some trends in the industry. Remember you are there to satisfy a need or a want, try to find out some current problems of theirs, and tell the inteviewer how you can solve those problems or satisfy those needs.

 

You should dress nice, but don't dress nicer than the person interviewing you.


Although confidence is really important, I don't agree completely. I guess it depends on the place, but my parents own their own business and if someone were to come in with jeans on, they woudn't get the job. Their first impression of them would be bad and first impressions are the most important.

 

If you have glasses, wear them. Glasses make people look "smarter" in general and gives the interviewer the impression that you have some kind of intellect. I don't know why this is true, but it just is.
