February 13, 20233 yr Got my first interview in 7 years tomorrow. Fucking hate them. I know i can smash the job, but I just become a nervous wreck, especially when faced with a panel. You lot on 100k a year any tips? I've tried rubbing myself with a bloon.
February 13, 20233 yr Just be yourself If that’s not good enough, be someone else 😀 It’ll be reet; have a glass of summat tonight.
February 13, 20233 yr Answer every question with an example of what you’ve done in the past in a similar situation Think what questions they might ask you eg “what would you do if….?” And answer with an example of what you’ve done in the past that fits the situation Bit late now, as the interview is tomorrow, but if you’ve got time write examples down in a notebook. Don’t be afraid to ask if they mind you referring to your notes so that you can answer them as well as possible - shows you’ve prepared well

I've tried rubbing myself with a bloon. answer questions with sentences and give examples of how you “ delivered beyond expectations “ or whatever they are asking Ask questions setting expectations of them. as if you are considering whether the place is good enough for you to work in
February 13, 20233 yr Never give examples where we did this and we did that. It’s all bout you, so I did this, I did that etc. When you get to ask them any questions at the end a good one to ask is “Is there anything else you would like to know from me about what I have answered earlier.” Good luck.
February 13, 20233 yr Walk in and hit the biggest member of the panel as hard as you can right in the chops. establish Dominance. Show strength. Then sit there smiling like nothing happened

There is nothing wrong with saying I was part of a team that did…and then give pertinent examples. In my experience most positive work situations are achieved through a good team. It does depend on the job you are being interviewed for though to be fair.

February 13, 20233 yr Answer questions with questions "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" "Where would you see me in 5 years?" "What are your salary expectations?" "What would you expect to pay me?" "What is your main weakness?" "What do you think my main weakness is?" Etc Turn the interview on them Then at the end leave saying you have other interviews to attend and you'll let them know in due course on the way out tell the next person they can go in
February 14, 20233 yr Make up some hobbies apart from getting wankered at the match and chatting bollocks with load of old blokes on t’internet,
February 14, 20233 yr Many years ago, I fancied a change of career. Applied for and got an interview for a sales rep for Bassetts, the Allsorts people. Asked a good friend of mine who was in sales, for interview techniques. He told me about a technique that I’ve since heard about people giving speech’s. Imagine the interviewer/audience naked. It supposedly empowers you. The interview was at the hotel on Beaumont Rd., in a room and, seriously, the interviewer was a young, good looking woman. It didn’t go well. Decided against the career Change. Choose your advice carefully.
February 14, 20233 yr Before interview go through job description and think of an example of how you can show you can do each element and think of your examples. Note this down against the JD, think what are the 4-5 examples you most to get over and these highlighted so when asked a question you give replies that are 100% relevant to job. Most interviews use standard questions now to off set any bias so when you get asked 'give me an example of when you have worked as part of a team' ( or some variant of this) your reply is 'As part of the district nursing team we had to tackle (add in whichever example shows you best light' sounds pretty basic but plan through whatever the 4 or 5 things you most want the interviewer to know about and make sure you get them in there somehow.
February 14, 20233 yr Turn up early (not too early), be clean, tidy & professional and answer questions honestly. Don't slag your current employer/colleagues off. Just those simple tips will immediately put you ahead of many of the other candidates.
February 14, 20233 yr Ani's reply ^^ is spot on as far as I was concerned. Good luck! Let us know how you get on.
