Of course!Everyone feels nervous when go to a job interview. In my opinion, apart from the suitable outfit, attitude plays an important role. I believe that "smiling" is the most powerful weapon. Smiling makes others feel friendly. Smiling makes others wanna respond to you. Smiling makes you look like confident. Whatever, being as calm and postive as you can by means of smiling while interviewing.
In an interview, of course, age, sex, race, etc. more or less become apparent and can influence the decision about hiring. Interestingly, in the UAE it is almost the norm to solicit potential employees on the basis of nationality, age, sex, religion, etc. But people don't complain about this much because they are happy enough just to have the opportunity to come and seek employment. In the US, on the other hand, no one can be denied employment based on race, sex, religion, etc. but one can be denied entry into the country altogether simply for hailing from a poorer region of the world. So, in comparison, a country like the UAE offers better employment opportunities despite the tendency to highlight race, religion, age, sex, etc.
Interview is nightmare for everyone!But I enjoy for every interview.Why did I enjoy the stressfull interview.Because the different interviews let me know how am I now and what do I have to do in this situation.I think when you got more frustration and you will be strong.This is my option.I beg your pardon if the grammar is bad.
The interview is almost last barrier to cross to get into the company. So, one who is desperate to go inside becomes so panic and sometimes, forget answers of very simple questions due to stress. On the other side of table, the examinor wants the interviewer open up and put forth the candid thoughts. He wanted to know whether the interviewer technically fits to the job, his presence of mind, humanity, and over all EQ ie Emotional Quotients. So, no need to become panic. More you get panic, more the chances you loose the job. But, beside all this, one must be prepared well before doing optimal practice...
Only 3 keys to success are
Practice!
Practice !!
Practice !!!
We're expected to talk about our previous experience in the job we're applying for, talk about ourselves and, although it is illegal here in Brazil, most of the companies require a photo on the resume. That's pretty much it - in a nutshel.
I think that as in any new experience, going to a job interview involves a little bit of anxiety and nevousness. I think that those people who are able to cope with their fears and look self-confidents despite they are nervous or unconfortable are the kind of people the interviewer is looking for. And I am not saying it is easy, what is more I have gone to several job interviews and I admit that I have not done good in all of them beacause I was beaten by my fears and therefore I looked like a nervous person and believe me that is not what companies want.
I think that self-confindence is the lead, it will help you more than knowing what you will be asked about.
The interview is a way to know who is the biggest lier, but you have to be clever.
The job interview is crucial because for the employer that direct and human contact represents the opportunity to analyse the person that he or she is going to hire: the coherence of the speech, the suitable outfit, the way of being, etc. The CV may be very good but the interview
is so important that the decision of hiring somebody depends on the way the candidate express his or her ideas, the gestures he or she does and the impression that person gives. That is why people must be very careful. I believe that a good advice is to be yourself, to be confident and very sincere, this attitude may be very evident face to the others when someone assume it. Of course it is also linked to the specific characteristics that somebody expect of the candidate. Evidently I agree with someone who wrote that it is necessary to smile, that´s the better way of opening all the doors.
in taiwan, interviewer will ask your educational background.
so, it's important to graduate from a good scool.
In my country it is a must to put on your picture on your resume unlike in the u.s..
i think people here are a little discriminating.. they mostly based on your looks rather what you can share them mentally.. if you're prettier then you have big chances..i think brains are just secondary for them..weird huh.
in an interview what i do is of course make eye to eye contact with the interviewr..make sure you always wear that smile..open your eyes up as if you are so willing to listen to every word she has to say
sometimes you can change styles on how you want your interviewers are done depends on the personality or aura of that person you are talking to..you can talk or answer as if you are having a nice chit chat..not being way too serious just being yourself..
lastly, Don't be scared to talk and answer questions
in every interview just take a deep breath before entering the door that releases tensions..
always think this is it! i have to give my best and speak out..or else i wouldn't land that job and start all over again..
Actually in Mexico, the interviews are in english and spanish for several reasons.
I consider that the interviewers want to know about the background of every future employee. They want to know about his age, status, experience, information about his skills, languages. By the way is not common if an interviewer ask you about your race of religion. I consider the most important in an interview is to be calm and say all the time the true about your background.
In Brazil is very commom people post their photo on a resume, mainly when they are looking for a job that deals with the public. Although the interviewers don't leave this impression and try to show that the important is how good and prepared for the job you are, everybody knows that the appearance and an indication are very important and make your hire easier.
Ten common questions asked during a job interview
1-Tell me about yourself
2-Have you ever done this type of job before?
3-Why do you want to work here
4-What are your future plans
5-Why did you leave your last job
6-What is your greatest strenght
7-How did you describe yourself
8-How long do you plan to stay with this company
9-Why would you hire you instead of someone else
10-Do you have any questions?
It's natural to feel nervous but don't let that overwhelm you!
Knowing, anticipating the questions before and having in your mind answers you'll come up with..Taking a deep breath before.. relaxing, relaxing and relaxing... Trusting yourself and being confindent are different way to counteract nervosity.
Again trust yourself and you'll get it!!!
Also, don't forget to mail a thank you note directly to your interviewer (purposes= give a positive impression, restate your interest in the job,remind the interviewer of you)and to be effective in your follow-up.
In Taiwan, the first thing is having a good educational background. If you don’t have it, you won’t be hired even though you have ability better than a college student. Thus, better diploma, better job.
Everywhere you go, if we can't speak english well, we will just die. Languages, especially English as an international language, are very important to learn. Listening and Speaking are the most difficult parts of learning language for me. We must be not only fluent but also accuracy in speaking.
Job interviews, seems easy but the fact is really hard to do. moreover, my listening and speaking skills, and also vocabulary are so bad. I must study harder. thank you for your help tutoring me ..

in my country , in indonesia is very hard to get a job now. So many unemployement in indonesia, so for me (a highschool student) must study hard to became smart to can get a job in future easily .
looking for a new job is absolutely difficult. we must appreciate every job even it's an important job. all we have to do now is study hard because the job competition is getting harder when we become an adult later. cheers! (Bunga)
About job interview, i think that's very hard if you follow it for the first time. Because you'll think the questions are difficult, or maybe the problem is nervous. When you are nervous, your mind will be blank and you don't know what you want to say.
In my opinion, the questions about religion or your status (single or not), that's just a test. Don't think it seriously. Just answer correctly. The important thing is self confidence.

Interview is an exam that test our capability to work.
I think, interview always be the same wherever you are. The question that asked to us didn't change. it is always about our education, background, etc.
Sometime, our characteristic also needed by them.
And usually, our language also take part in it.
So, let's study harder, harder, and harder to achieve the perfect job.

I've ever been interview when I was training at a hotel. It was scary I think, you ready to face the oppenent but when you face it it goes blank. And your heart start to beating faster, worried of being wrong. You know what you have to say but you couldn't say it.
I'm didn't came from a country that using English for its language. So when I interviewed (with english) I worried about my language. And it became worse when I face person that I don't know who it is.
So pray before that, do the interview and God will do the rest!

actually, I have a same opinion with mr.anonymous that said that attitude plays an important role when you go to a job interview, smiling always become number 1 way to make people become friendly to you, and when you feel happy, comfort, and suitable when you through he interview, all of your stressful just like nervous will gone away and it would be easier for you to get through the interview.
So, keep smiling!!
because smiling is a very powerful weapon in this life! ^^b
