(tell me a time) always makes me feel more prepared. Thinking about it before the interview helps me to choose the best situation to talk about.]]> 2018-04-03 14:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cmireland/8ufutvl7tn25/wish/248133243 ce6340mich https://padlet.com/cmireland/8ufutvl7tn25/wish/257437343 The tip I liked most is to ask questions at the end of the interview.Sometimes I get stuck at that part and will try and prepare some to have ready next time

It seems egotistical to talk about myself and I fear I may wander in my reply. Researching the company to come up with points that relate to their vision would go a long way to overcoming my concerns with this. I could then streamline my personal points to information that relates to that company.

Even if you did not get a long with your manager, this does not look good on you if you speak to conflict on the job between you and management. Always speak to the positives ("I am looking for change," "New opportunities," etc.).

There is never a bad or wrong question in my eyes. I would like to feel more prepared for the next time if they ask me questions and I'm not well prepared to answer them.

but at quite a few jobs i have gained the nickname "The Machine." i am a hard worker and anytime i leave for a new job for whatever reason people are usually disappointed to see me go. i am good working with others and i think if anyone decided to actually call i would get the job every time based on word of mouth alone.

It is quite a confrontational question that makes you kind of second guess yourself. As I've grown though and had more interviews I find this question less daunting now. I have a list of references I collected myself and wouldn't have put someone in my references that would talk bad about my work ethic or past experience. I find sometimes we lose confidence in ourselves in situations like interviews where were speaking from nerves and less from who we really are. I'm glad I've learned this lesson early on and can build and grow from it.

So on those day where the pressure would be high, I would let reaction do the work for me, no thinking, just reacting, and it worked like a charm, even when times would go completely south. The nice things about pressure/stress is, if you fail  you're going to be beat yourself up, and in my experience, my worst critic is myself, and that grown men don't like to give other grown men sh*t, so in my mind, I would be that person, who gives sh*t, and it worked amazing, because I would like to go home with a clean conscience . I've selected this preparation tip, because I have been known to work amazing under high stress, but not the best under low stress.

This is something that drives me up the wall before an interview is, worrying what I will be asked. The list of possible questions and how to best answer them. Especially when I am asked about a past employer and what they would say. This is the reason a list of references is needed. That way the wrong person is not contacted. Before the next interview I go on I will definitely be going over questions and practicing answers. I have always considered myself a very easy person to have a conversation with but those interview questions....Better prepared now!!! :-)

Doing this lets me know if their are any gaps in my preparedness or questions that I was unready for or hadn't even considered. I often use the internet to look up some questions just to ensure I am ready.

You have to make sure you answer correctly, make eye contact and come across professional. ]]> 2018-10-29 15:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cmireland/8ufutvl7tn25/wish/298080465 https://padlet.com/cmireland/8ufutvl7tn25/wish/314685371 "if i called your references, what would they say about you"
i think that my references would say that i am a well respected young lady. i get my work done and on time. I listen to their pointers and i understand what they want me to do and i get it done well. i always give it 100% and never fail to make them impressed.]]> 2018-12-14 15:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cmireland/8ufutvl7tn25/wish/314685371 https://padlet.com/cmireland/8ufutvl7tn25/wish/2000109165 2022-01-19 10:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cmireland/8ufutvl7tn25/wish/2000109165 https://padlet.com/cmireland/8ufutvl7tn25/wish/2000109446 2022-01-19 10:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cmireland/8ufutvl7tn25/wish/2000109446
