JOB INTERVIEW TIPS
INTERVIEWING FOR A POSITION After skills, the most important quality is attitude. Whether you're interviewing for a position as a manager or just a Mcjob, be positive and convey the feeling that you will give a good day's work for a day's pay. First jobs are an important stepping stone and should be treated with respect. A recruiter's nightmare is the individual who thinks they are too good to do anything they deem beneath their dignity, has a poor work attitude, is rigid in their expectations and thinks the employer owes them something ... no matter how well qualified, otherwise. It is the recruiter's job to weed those people out. Be forthright, sincere and enthusiastic, without whining, groveling or ingratiating yourself. Don't be superficial, gratuitous and transparent in flattery. Be prepared--know something about the company, its history, accomplishments, objectives, and how you can contribute to its goals. Ask constructive questions that show an interest in the company's mission and philosophy. DON'TS AT THE JOB...
