How do I impress at an interview?
In a nut shell I am an older middle aged man who recently recieved my Bachelors Degree in Business. I have been in manufacturing 25+ years with 10 years in lower supervision. I have only held 3 jobs in 25+ years of working so I am not very good at interviewing ( Selling myself). Can anyone give me suggestions please?
You are looking to find a job not impress anyone. Stick to the task at hand. However, ask them to explain the job. Witch they normally do. But then ask for clarifications more detail etc. If they do something that makes no sense to you ask why they do it. If it still makes no sense to you tell them that . Be confident in your view your accomplishments your history.
If you interview enough this approach will help you land a job.
Hi John, pretend you are making a list of pros and cons about yourself (or actually make the list), then throw away the cons! i.e., (pros 25 years in manufacturing, 10 years in supervision, consistent work record which amounts to stability; 3 jobs in 25 years, etc.... ). Those sound like very strong selling points to me, but just keep writing them down. Looks good so far!
I get nervous when I get an interview I need help with that
My body type is average
Reply only to his questions. Dress busibess like. Look hin in the eye when he is talking. Do not offer anyrhing unless asked. Stay calm, an collective. Have answer why you left other jobs.
Hi John, first when you shake his hand, a firm hand, not to hard and not to soft, sit up straight, and yes like another person said, don't give more than what they ask for. Wow, 3 jobs in 25 years that is great. This shows that you commitment to your employer, that along show be very impressive. I just notice the date on this post, I hope that you found the job you were looking for.
