Job Interview

[Rosenicola]

I have a job interview at 5 and i'm so nervous.. It's for receptionist/secretary in a huge professional company..

Any pointers or advice PLZZZZZ ??? :-) XX

[Psychick]

Be positive! Have three questions ready for when they ask if you have any. And good luck!

[Shadow Man]

Eye contact and a genuine smile.

Don't wear strong perfume

Ask about where the company would like to yourself (i.e you) in a years time.

DO NOT ASK about salary or holiday etc.

[Rosenicola]

What kind of questions??
Dress code
Holidays
Salary (Only joking, i know that's a no no question ;-)

[confused79]

try and use the all important buzz words, like organisied, priorities, you take a calm appraoch to difficult situations use yuor common sence, have professional and polite manner, try and use the buzz words in answer to their questions, they normally have a tick list if you mention these types of things.

[laurence2]

1} Be yourself.
2} Be honest.
3} Don't be afraid to ask questions

[confused79]

most of all beleive in yourself and big yourself up, but not toop much to sound like a big head if you see what i mean.

[laurence2]

i would ask about salary & holidays

[confused79]

[Rosenicola]

xxxxx

[confused79]

good luck and remember to be positive and the buzz words yuo can do it!!! x

[Rosenicola]

I know the salary anyway thanks :-)

Not too much make-up, smart but not a reallt short skirt.
Emphasise what you can do for the company...commitment, team player, that sort of jazz. If you've had time have a look at what the company do and show that you've done research in the interview but not too smart a**ed

[laurence2]

i'm not joking one bit confused.

Its not just about them employing you.

[confused79]

i always heard thats a no no

[Psychick]

Asking about dress code is a good one, so is asking about training/ course opportunities. They like it when you show willingness to go on any courses offered etc.

[taliesin238]

Smile and shake hands firmly!! Sit up straight!!

[taliesin238]

GOOD LUCK by the way!!!!!!! x x
