Job Advice

We can all use a little advice when it comes to getting a job, especially if you are currently unemployed. I have always sucked at the interview process, mainly because of that dumb “describe yourself in 5 words” question. It always confuses me! Do they want 5 different adjectives, a sentence that contains only 5 words? If I say “hard worker” does it sound like I’m lying, cause it feels like I’m lying even though I am a hard worker. Are they rolling their eyes at the stereotypical words I use? WHAT! JUST TELL ME IF I GOT THE JOB! AHHHHHHH! (puffs on inhaler)

See? I had a mini panic attack just thinking about interviewing. I assume I’m not the only one who feels this way, thankfully I found a cool article with tips on what to do so that you don’t look like an idiot in the interview. Click the jump for 3 tips to help you out in future job interviews….

 
#1.)  Knowing a Lot About the Company.  Do some research, and find out as much as you can before you go in.  At the very least, that means going to their website or Wikipedia, and reading as much as you can about them.
#2.)  Paying Attention When You Walk Through the Office.  Look for anything you can talk about that might make them feel like you’re a good fit.  Even if it’s something small, like the paintings on the wall or the dress code.
#3.)  Telling Them Something They Don’t Know.  That doesn’t mean you should pull out some random piece of trivia.  But if you know something they don’t about the business or the industry, they’ll wonder what ELSE you know.

GOOD LUCK! If you get a job because of me, I’ll be expecting cookies. 717 E David Rd ATTENTION: Nick
