Advice for someone who has their first job interview?
Asked by BreezeGirl
I am going to start looking for a job soon, but before I do I have a few questons. This will be my first job so: How should I conduct myself during a job interview? What are possible questions I may be asked? What should I include in a resume? Are there any basic things I should know? And how should I go about scheduling a job interview? If it matters I am looking for a position as an assistant child care teacher (I will be certified soon and have some experience volunteering with children).

Best Answer:
At the interview: -Make good eye contact -Avoid nervous laughs -Wear nice clothing, but do not go overboard -Show up 5 minutes early They might ask you questions like: -What do you think your 3 best qualities are? -What is something about yourself that you would like to improve upon? -They also might ask you how you would respond to a customer if they act rudely. If you have any volunteer work at all, then make sure to include it in your job history. That made the difference for me getting my first job. Make it clear to the interviewer that you know how to interact with many different types of people, especially children. Even though you have never had a job, you can still let the interviewer know that you are responsible. To get an interview, give the company a call a couple days after you send in an application. Good Luck

Well I believe your resume already sent to company. so just make one more copy in case they need it. If you did not sent your resume there in advance then you should prepare a nice and fit resume that including all professional, style, paper, and key works from the job openning. 1. you should spent time to read about the company profile and products or services they provide, what their vision anf mission for the company future growth, what is their K10 and 8/ means financial statements... income, sales revenue and else... 2. Be there 5 or 10 mininute advance, dressing professional 3. you should ask a lot of Questions it is depend on the department you are looking for a job such as human resource, finance, production, engineering or else... any budget, plan, people related to the department. 4. What are the most strengthness and weakness of your self.. Why do you think you are the better/ best candidate for the position What will you plan and perfom your position if you are hired What is you 5 or 10 year future plan if you are with company or not with company... like pursue higher education/ trainning for yourself.. ( preparing your these answers before you got to interview) 5.Good Luck
