Interviews  |
|
 I recently attended an interview after a very long time. At first, I thought it would be an informal interview till I got there and saw that there were lots of candidates waiting. We sat there waiting for the interview to start.
I wanted to talk to the lady next to me but I didn't because I felt all of us were nervous.
What do you do before an interview? Do you sit silently waiting to be called or do you make small talk with the people around you? I tend to talk too much...so I felt it was better for me not to talk then to blabber...which was good because it gave me time to help another lady who had come with a child.

1.  aseretdd (3238) | 5 months ago |  It has been a long time since i went to a real job interview... but then again... throughout my career life... i have only been to four... and in both cases... i sat quietly and observed what the other applicants were wearing and what the office workers were doing...
I tend to not engage anybody in converstation since i know that all of us are quite nervous... and this is a way for me to relax my mind... gather courage... and imagine what questions will be asked and how i am going to answer them...

 SViswan (3265) | 5 months ago | lol..I wasn't even bothered about the questions that might be asked because I THOUGHT it would be an informal interview...and anyways...I can't prepare anything last minute...and I was one of the first ones to be called...so I didn't anticipate anything while I had something to tell the people who were going in next. | |

2.  edaabby (123) | 5 months ago |  Before interview i read newpapers to know new and populars issues. It can make me feel brave because when we read we have a point to talk.
I talk with people and discuss a little bit about the question the interviewer will ask.

4.  subha12 (10881) | 5 months ago |  i have experienced 2-3 interviews till date. once it was only me waiting for my interview to be taken. other times there were some people. By nature I do not talk to much with people. But i like to speak a little with those people before attending the interview. it also releases stress.

|
| SViswan (3265) | 5 months ago | I understand. But if I start talking, I'm basically just trying to find out about the person and I thought that wasn't appropriate at an interview....especially if they were nervous, they might get irritated. | |

| 5. williamjisir (8507) | 5 months ago |  Hello dear Sviswan. I think that it could be of some help to talk with some others who come for the same interview for the same job or a different one in the same company. It could help us to get to know more informaion about each other working experience and the exchanging of working experience might sometimes offer us some hints in giving a better response to the questions to be raised by the interviewer. A friendly and helpful conversation with the same interviewees is a good one. It is only my humble viewpoint. Thanks.

| SViswan (3265) | 5 months ago | You are absolutely right! But some people prefer to be left alone when they are nervous. But how are we to know which person likes to talk and which person doesn't. So, to be on the safe side, I didn't talk at all. | |

well the last interviewd i attended was almost 11 yrs back when i was looking for job. sure i was nervous as it was first time to join practicle field and no doubt fear of UNCERTAINTY was there too
the process of hiring for management trainess was Test. board interview and then CEO interview, i did well too in first 2, but CEO really give me tough time. but good thing i was selected
and after that i did not leave the job and still grabing it.
what was outcome of ur interveiw??
Take care

|
| SViswan (3265) | 5 months ago | You didn't mention what you did BEFORE the interview.
My out come was good because I got called for a second interview and got selected. It also helped that most people in the panel have seen me work before (I have volunteered at the school earlier...around 2 years back). | |
|
|
| cupid74 (2820) | 5 months ago | Hmmm
what can i do b4 interveiw
Well to be honest i read all the course books, try to memorise all Marketing things, LOL
but they rare ask about it, but good thing i got selected, much releived.
Well if u had worked their, then i dont their is need to interview again as they know u and how u work
anyway, its all Good when Ends good | |
|
|
| SViswan (3265) | 5 months ago | I didn't WORK there before...I volunteered.
I wasn't paid and I just did it when they didn't have the staff...and as a parent too...I have volunteered to help them. | |
|
|
| cupid74 (2820) | 5 months ago | Hmmm Ok
they can understand that if u can work with them voluntering then sure u must be doing well if u get paid as motivation of payment will be added in performance
anyway
best of luck | |
|
|
| SViswan (3265) | 5 months ago | Yes, but I still had to go through an interview and demo like the rest of the candidates...it wouldn't be fair if everyone wasn't given a fair chance. | |
|
|
| cupid74 (2820) | 5 months ago | Hmmmm
true
if they give ad, then it must be like that
take care | |

| 7. gabs8513 (17113) | 5 months ago |  Like you I will just sit there all nervous and not say anything
The reason being I can think about what they will ask and how I will reply
I hope your Interview went well
| |
| |
|
|
| SViswan (3265) | 5 months ago | Yes, my interview did go well....especially since most of them didn't grill me..lol.
Most of the people on the interview panel had seen me work before (I had volunteered at the school around two years back)...so they didn't really need to ask me about my work.
The only questions I got were from the people who were not associated with the school and I could answer confidently.
Thanks for your response! | |
