Every King was once a helpless baby, every oak once an acorn, every mighty ocean swell once a ripple, and every great structure once a blueprint.
It is not where you are today, but where you are going that counts.
Many people don’t understand the great pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction that come from giving of oneself, one’s time or one’s resources.
Try it, and experience the payback!
I was once interviewed for a job on my birthday. As the interview went on the questions were getting harder and harder. In total exasperation I jumped to me feet, banged the table and shrieked that it was my birthday and that it was unfair to be asking me all these difficult questions!! The interviewers roared laughing but carried on asking the difficult questions……moral? Be prepared for the difficult questions and do not offer excuses.
Would you say you are underqualified or overqualified for this job?
The answer you give should reflect that you are both. You are underqualified but willing to learn and your overqualification brings a maturity, understanding and confidence to the job.
What are your strengths?
This is not the time to brag about drinking seven pints and still being capable of discussing the finer points of Ulysses.
List your strengths and relate them to the position you are interviewing for.
What are your weaknesses?
Weaknesses can sometimes be strengths so list your weaknesses, relate them to the position and turn them into positive strengths.
Oh by the way I was offered that job on my birthday and accepted! Always be yourself at interview.
To those readers doing interviews today or sometime soon..GOOD LUCK! KNOCK ‘EM DEAD!!
The next sction of the interview will focus on YOU

This is your opportunity to really shine

Personal attributes of
These are the attributes the interviewer is looking for.
How would your friends describe you?
This is a common question which allows the interviewer to see what you think of yourself through someone else’s eyes. It is a clever question.
The ideal answers are:
What do you think of your present boss?
Always be POSITIVE! A typical answer might be: I am very lucky in my present boss. He/she is firm but fair, demanding but realistic, and above all encouraging and supportive. He/she is a great leader.
Name three things you like doing
Always remember the golden rule of interviews: Never say anything that is not documented on your CV and cannot be substantiated.
Good luck with those intervews!
