The recruiter holding the interview is a list of questions that have to ask you, but you have to ask a list of interview questions? To have the questions to the interview, if not more important than the interviewer! They must learn the right interview answer to each specific question.

Unfortunately, the increase in layoffs, as the global credit crunch means more people will work by reducing the interview process, so and granted an interview with who is better prepared to question and answer game (because this is all a game!) Station much better chance of landing a dream job.

Now job interviews are always stressful, even for seasoned job seekers who have gone on countless interviews.

The best way to reduce the stress is to be prepared. Take the time to review the “standard” interview questions you will most likely be asked. Also review sample answers to these typical interview questions. Then take the time to research the company. That way you’ll be ready with knowledgeable answers for the job interview questions that specifically relate to the company and industry you are interviewing with. Your task in the interview process is to make the HR manager (or the interviewers) job as easy as possible, do that and it will be a walk in the park!

Many interview questions, they will ask you is to be expected. I have already listed the following people seem to have problems, they are more common in couples research and plan in advance for your answer, so you ready to have confidence.

What Are Your Weaknesses? This is the most dreaded question of all. Stay away from personal weaknesses like “I’m a manic depressive’ and go towards professional traits, especially ones you are actively working to overcome like ‘my design skills aren’t great’ (do not use if you are going for a job as a designer!) But then emphasis that you are taking action to improve this skill, for example ‘to get over this I am taking a course on Photoshop’.

What is your salary expectation for this job? Here they are looking for two things, one can they get you on the cheap and two have they got the budget to be able to afford you! The answer should always be fired back at the interviewer, ‘I’ll need more information about the job and the responsibilities before I can discuss salaries but can you give me an idea of the range you have budgeted for?’ This will put them on the back foot and should give you some valuable information on whether or not to continue with the interview.

The last couple of hints. Instead of always trying to answer in an interview time, give a negative answer positively (in particular) declined to comment negatively about past employment.

Maintain eye contact with the interviewer at all times, don’t look down at your shoes when searching for an answer.

Try and make time to rehearse questions and answers with a friend before the interview, as they say "practice makes perfect."

Dress for success, it is far better to be over dressed for an interview than under dressed (it shows you are making an effort).

Good luck on your job hunting.
