How to pass your summer job interview
As summer is coming with lots of good promises, some of you will be on real job hunting. Here at Bright Quest we love to see you succeed at all level. So here we come with some tips to help you se clear on how to impress you interviewer during a job interview.
As your aim will be to impress, you should make sure that you impress your interviewer at the first contact. Make sure that you are smartly dressed, you are seating straight, and you are cool and relaxed.
Always arrive 20 minutes early. This will ensure that you are not nervous and will give you plenty of time to prepare.
Make sure you take a trip to the rest room before you go in, and make a trip to the rest room before the interview to check your hair, teeth, makeup, etc. and above all, make sure you have a positive attitude.
Always remember that there are main questions interviewer wants to ask:
Tell me about yourself.
Be prepared to talk for two minutes about yourself. Be logical. Start anywhere, such as high school, college or your first professional position. The interviewer is trying to evaluate your communication skills and linear thinking. You may try to score a point or two by describing a major personal attribute.
What do you consider your most significant accomplishment?
A good answer to this question can get you the job. Prepare extensively—discuss hard work, long hours, pressure and important company issues at stake. You may want to tell a two minute detailed story, discussing personal involvement.
Why do you believe you qualify for this position?
Pick two or three main factors about the job and about yourself that are most relevant. Discuss for two minutes, including specific details. You may mention a technical skill, a management skill and/or a personal success story.
How do you handle pressure? Do you like or dislike these situations?
High achievers tend to perform well in high-pressure situations. Conversely, these questions could imply that the open position is pressure-packed and out of control. Know what you’re getting into. If you do perform well under stress, provide a good, detailed example. Be descriptive.
What do you consider your most significant strength?
Know your key five or six strengths he ones most compatible with the job opening. Discuss each with specific examples. Don’t include your management or interpersonal skills unless you can describe specific examples of good management, or how your relationship skills have been critical to your success.
What are your career goals? Where do you see yourself five or ten years from now? Be realistic! Pie-in-the-sky goals label you as immature. One or two management jumps in 3-5 years is a reasonable goal. If your track record indicates you’re in line for senior management in 10 years, then mention it. If you’ve had a rocky road, be introspective.
Why should we hire you for this position? What kinds of contributions would you make?” This is a good chance to summarize. By now, you should know the key problems. Restate and show how you would address them. Don’t be arrogant; instead demonstrate a thoughtful, organized and strong attitude.
