Courage !!!!
Hoping that's not you before the interview
[Courage the Cowrdly Dog, from Cartoon Network]
 
There are two kind of job interviews. Those that go well and those that don't. There is no mid situation. Most of the HR managers know from the first five minutes what is going to happen but they need to follow the questioning procedure. I am sure you have heard of questions:
  • Did you find it easy to get here?
  • Tell us a bit about yourself...
  • What are your three strong and three weak points
  • What are your expectations from this job opportunity
  • Why would you like to work for us?
Have you ever thought to answer sincerely to this questions? Like:
  • No, you are in the middle of nowhere... they would have the same problem each day.
  • Well I am Nektarios Baziotis, two words that define in your mind who am I. But this is not what defines me... I don't get into details, each one of you should know YOUR answer.
  • Your points:
    • Strong points
      • I like bringing results
      • I want to get better
      • I like travelling
  • To become better and earn a good salary. why not?
  • Because I found your advertisement and I need a job in this particular field. It would be the same to me to work in another company that has the same profile as you, but you approached me. now don't say it exactly like that!
Now three tips before your next interview:
  1. Be confident but not overconfident
  2. Understand why you want that job
  3. Be honest with your potential employer, but first be honest with yourself!

Some additional tips:

  1. Think of actual examples of times when you have used your skills. This provides credibility to what you are saying and to your resume.
  2. Bring along your portfolio and copies of certifications and resume.
  3. When being interviewed, maintain eye contact with the one interviewing.
  4. Use proper English when answering questions and avoid slang or street language since this is generally considered unprofessional.
  5. Avoid asking questions about salary and job benefits.
