Phone Tips When You Interview For A Job

Job Interview tips

If you know that you are heading in for one or more job interviews, you want to do everything you can to get yourself prepared and ready for your interview for a job. Especially if you have been trying for this interview for some time now or you are applying for your dream job, this could be the chance of a lifetime. It is important to make sure that you are prepared and one of the best ways of doing that is practicing with frequently asked interview questions. You want to ace the interview and show that you are confident and professional.

Job Interview Answers.

There are a few job interview questions and answers in particular which are asked at almost every interview. One is what you bring to the job, what qualities it is that set you apart from other applicants. Make sure that you answer truthfully and not like a robot. Tell them about any job that you had where you may have been in a leadership position and had to manage and get things done.

Job Interview Skills

They will probably also ask what your goals are for the future. It can be a tricky question to answer because although you do want to be truthful, at the same time your goal right now is to get hired for the job you are applying for. When discussing any future goals for instance your career goals if that is not now, make sure that it somehow relates to the position you are applying for. You want to show them that you have skills and interests in this field. This shows that you are focused and lets them know that you are an expert in the field.

Common Interview Question

You may also be asked about your salary expectation for the job and this is why it is important to remember what pay rate was offered on the job advertisement. When you first applied for the job there should have been at least a basic figure that was offered a pay for the position. If you are going to be blunt you can always tell them you are used to making a bit more than that and if they think that you are worth it they absolutely may raise the pay.

Just don’t be too cocky because if you expect too much they will just move on to the next applicant. Never tell them that you are willing to work for less than they are offering because not only is that bad for you financially but also actually can hinder your chances of getting the job.

How to answer interview Questions

The most important thing is that you practice so you can be quick on your feet and not be left flabbergasted with nothing to say at the interview. This is going to greatly improve your chances of being chosen for the job.

This one in particular-Q: Tell me the most difficult situation you have had to face and how you tackled it?

I’ve got nothing! I’ve only had a few retail jobs, haven’t had many problems on the job and just don’t have an answer to this question. Please, I need an answer for it.

Just say you had to deal with difficult costumers. and how you stayed calm and helped out and gave as much information to the costumer as you could. and say you are a problem solver so when situations arise you always find a positive way to deal with them. hope this helps:)

I’m applying to Phillips Exeter Academy soon, and part of my application requires an interview. To practice, could you tell me the questions that might be frequently asked? Even if its another private school you applied to, or you just know, I just would like to know a overview of what might be asked? Please help?

Look at my posts for some info on questions, writing a resume so your teachers can write up a great recommendation, etc. Click on the links in the post:

Typically they will ask you only a few questions and it will be much more casual than you think. Make it conversational. My son spent most of one interview chatting about his favorite video game at a very rigorous school (twice the percentage of National Merit Finalists than at Exeter). So take the conversation in the direction it’s going and don’t be surprised if it’s not all serious. They just want to get a sense of you. Be sure to ask at least one question.

Make sure to really study for the SSAT. Some schools tell you it isn’t necessary, but your competition will be studying and may be tutored, even if they keep it quiet.

Good luck!

I have a phone interview this week and would like any tips to help me succeed!

As a previous teller, I can tell you that they are looking for people that:
-have a good attitude-no matter what the circumstance or customer,
-strong work ethic-as in they won’t bend the rules to get ahead,
-good communication skills- both with customers in person and on the phone,
-strong sales abilities- for referals and bank products,
-a team player- able to get along well with others, and
-someone who is always looking to succeed and advance themselves within the company- to show that you have intentions of staying with this company for a long time.

Obviously any previous experience with money and handling accounts is a plus! Computer skills and strong math abilities are needed as well. If you aren’t really stong in one of these areas, I would work on it now because that is the environment of a teller day-in and day-out. Keep your answers short and to the point, it can be easy to ramble on and on over the phone, but remember this is in place of you sitting in front of them, so they have to be able to get a good, strong, and professional impression of you over the phone instead!

Some questions we asked during interviews were:
-Why should we hire you?
-Tell us about a difficult customer you had and how you handled it
-Tell us a something you have accomplished during previous jobs
-What can we expect from you as an employee? (Personality wise)
-Where do you hope to be in 5-10 years?

These are some questions that I can think of. Remember, this is a phone interview, they arent going to want to be on the phone with you for 30+ minuets, so keep your answers short so you can throw in a few questions of your own- and make sure you have questions ready to ask!!!! This is your chance to interview them too! Maybe they won’t want you as employee, but maybe you won’t like them as an employer either! Have a list ready because there will be questions that they will answer just by giving you general info. Don’t ask stupid thing like "what’s the pay?" or "what are the benefits like?"…that shows them 2 things- 1. you are more interested in what you can get out of this and not how you being an employee will help their company and 2.If you would get a better offer somewhere else, weather it be with money and/or benefits, you will drop them asap leaving them in the same postion they are now!

Always turn a negative into a positive! If they ask "what are your weaknesses?" don’t say something like "I lose interest in things quickly" or "I have an attitude sometimes", instead say something like "I tend to be a perfectionist when it comes to my work, so I may take a little longer to complete something simply because I want to make sure it is done right the first time."

I hope this helps-if you have any questions after this, send me a message on Y!A and I will try to help you as best as possible! Good luck and remember to be yourself- if you put on a ‘front’ its only a matter of time before the real you comes out, and it could end up costing you the job you tried so hard to get!!!
