  • Allways stare at the tittays

    Then he/she gunna want you
  • For starters, don't say tomoz. :p

    Relax, be confident in your responses. Be honest too. Make yourself look good, with good attire (suitable for them and the work environment) as well as promoting yourself that YOU is what they are looking for.

    Yea gotta wear a suit for it :p And I would definitely be more formal during an interview haha wouldnt use 'tomoz' or 'gotta' xD The relax part will be difficult xD I'm quite an excitable person at times haha. Nice advice ty ;)
  • Never say "I don't know" as a response to a question.
  • I need some tips too D:
    Got an interview tomorrow of a special Laws program for next year.
    Only 60 can join, there's 70 people C:
    I can probably get in :D

  • Start with your posture, open arms, comfortly at your sides, not to stif and don't fidget with your hands. Never cross your arms, it's a defensive posture. It helps to bring a nice folder, something classy. Write down atleast 10 relavent questions. That way if you get a chance to open up and have a conversation they will feel at ease as well. Negotiate a salery, don't ask how much they pay. Check out the job listing and get an idea how much the starting pay is. check stats Canada or stats USA for job listings and pay rate. Don't try to be funny, ever. Be yourself unless yourself sucks, then act like me or some other great guy, LOL
  • Make sure to be normal and dont get nervous.

    Think about some questions they may ask you and form some replies in your head.
    That way when they ask you, you wont be stuttering over your words.

    And remember the first impression is always the strongest so make sure to be formal and greet them nicely.

    Sit straight in your chair and dont keep moving around otherwise it will seem you are not use to being in a formal place.

    JUST RELAX and youll be fine. Trust me.

    You most first make sure what you going to say. If you don't know the question, just be relax, confidence & make sure to answer any following question as close as possible. Give confidence answer. Make sure you DO NOT like cross your arms, tap your knee or anything like that, because that show's you are very nervous.

    I know cause i have worked with celebrity before &i always get interview. Here is a little sample :D :P

  • Thanks for all the info guys :P Just a few more hours before I gotta set off :P Done plenty of research on the company so I know what I'm talking about when asked xD And thought out some questions to ask if they dont already get explained through the interview :P
  • So it's a job interview, huh? Easy.

    1. When you get in, shake hands, use some force, so you're hand wont be like gelatine.
    2. Don't take a sit unless he asks you to do so, if he forgets, ask for permission to take a sit.
    3. If you're asked about your previous jobs, don't say that "manager was ******ed" or that the company sucked or stuff like that. He will think that you will say the same about him / his company. Just say that you weren't satisfied about that job, he'll probably get it and not ask more questions about this.
    4. Even if he is as smart as a rock, don't make him feel bad.. don't be a smartass (don't correct him, contradict him without valid arguments etc)
    5. No sarcasm, arrogance, hypocrysi.
    6. Don't ask about how much money you'll get.(Unless he wants you to talk about money)
    7. If you're asked about how much money you think you deserve, don't reply with "as much as you think", take a look at your qualities and previous experience and tell him how much money you think you deserve. ( NOT how much money you want)
    8. Turn off your phone.
    9 If you're asked, what would be your first thought if you're rejected don't say "I believe that the manager was not competent enough to judge me".
    10. When you're asked about your abilities / qualities, don't lie. Just tell him what you can do. (You can include gaming and stuff like that to your list if you lack abilities / qualities) Note: Don't say that you can hypnotize a dead cat just because your opinion about him / company is bad, just because you want to not be hired. Who knows, maybe you'll meet him again.. and that will not be helpful. (I did this xD)


    That's all for now.

    Good luck!

    Edit: Just saw your last post.. I'm a bit late.. but maybe you'll use this info next time. xD
  • Seemed to go pretty well. I was actually alot more comfortable and calm than I thought I would of been haha. I much prefer a woman interviewing me and luckily it was :rolleyes: hehe And no I did not stare at her 'titaayyys' like one guy suggested haha xD

    She actually gave a few pointers on my CV too which was nice of her nothing major wrong with it just a few things she thought could of been placed on there :p

    So all in all pretty good :D

    Was told I will hear within the next week about the job :D

    Again thanks to all.
